After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 108

Chapter 108: New Neighbor
“You mean that little girl did this to you?” Ye Lingfeng looked Chen Tuo up and down, raising an eyebrow.

“Yes,” Chen Tuo felt embarrassed. “She almost broke my rib. And it was a light attack. Boss, you don’t know, she kicked me into the wall. I couldn’t even pry myself out.”

Recalling the scene, Chen Tuo’s forehead was covered in sweat, cold sweat streaming down.

He had thought that Qin Lie’s daughter, Qin Zhouzhou, was the scariest one, surpassing even her dad.

“Well, at least the meal wasn’t in vain,” Ye Lingfeng said, stroking his chin.

Chen Tuo replied, “…Boss, don’t you think you’re focusing on the wrong point?”

“Indeed, I might have gotten a bit off track,” Ye Lingfeng looked at him and continued, “Who told you to go look for the bracelet?”

His tone was light and casual, but Chen Tuo’s back shivered, and he instinctively lowered his head and apologized, “I’m sorry, Boss. I acted on my own accord.”

“If you do it again, you’ll accompany Zheng Yu,” Ye Lingfeng said.

Zheng Yu was also one of his subordinates. Last year, he made a wrong comment and was sent to Africa to work in a coal mine. He was so tanned now that even his own mother wouldn’t recognize him.

Chen Tuo immediately straightened up and said seriously, “Boss, I promise there won’t be a next time!”

“Hmm,” Ye Lingfeng nodded casually and pointed to his phone. “Go and buy this house for me.

Chen Tuo leaned over to take a look, feeling somewhat puzzled. He looked up at Ye Lingfeng, full of confusion.

Why would the boss want to live here?

“Go now,” before he could figure it out, Ye Lingfeng raised his hand and said.

“Yes.”

When Chen Tuo was about to close the door, he suddenly remembered something—the Dragon Card was still in Qin Zhouzhou’s possession.

However, thinking of what happened earlier, he didn’t dare to go back inside.

As he hesitated, the doorbell suddenly rang. He opened the door but didn’t see anyone. He thought it was a prank, but then he noticed a card on the ground. It was a luxurious golden Dragon Card. He quickly picked it up.

It was the boss’s Dragon Card.

Sent by Qin Lie?

The sky gradually brightened, and the light in the study remained on throughout the night.

Qin Lie stood on the balcony, watching the light of dawn on the horizon. He frowned slightly when he heard the voice on the other end of his phone. “No record of Ye Lingfeng’s imprisonment in the prison?”

How was that possible?

Five years ago, he was imprisoned for attempted murder. How could there be no record?

Unless… he wasn’t inside.

Thinking of the Dragon Card he saw yesterday, Qin Lie couldn’t help but pinch his forehead, his brow furrowing.

While he was lost in thought, there was suddenly some commotion from the neighboring house. Qin Lie turned his head and met someone’s gaze.

When he saw the person looking at him, Ye Lingfeng raised his hand and waved, mouthing something.

Qin Lie recognized it.

He was saying, “Let’s get along.”

The visitor was not a friendly one. This phrase instantly came to mind.

Qin Lie tightened his grip on his phone, his face expressionless as he looked at the person.

Before he could say anything, the door suddenly rang, and hurried footsteps echoed.

Zhouzhou climbed up his leg, holding onto his hand and hugging him. Her little bottom settled on his arm; her slender arms wrapped around his neck. When she saw him staring outside, she followed his gaze and said in surprise, “Huh, isn’t that the Sharp Tongue Uncle?”

Upon hearing this nickname, Qin Lie’s eyebrows relaxed. “Indeed, he’s quite talkative.”

Saying that, he looked at Zhouzhou and noticed she wasn’t wearing any shoes. He touched her feet and asked, “Aren’t you cold?”

Zhouzhou shook her head, smiling. “It’s not cold when Dad carries me.”

She was a bit warm, even though it was already deep autumn. Her bare feet didn’t feel as chilly as he had imagined.

“That won’t do,” Qin Lie carried her back to the room. “Remember to wear shoes from now on. It’s not good for your health to go barefoot…”

He kept chattering, completely devoid of the cold indifference he had in front of others.

Ye Lingfeng also noticed this scene. Although he couldn’t hear what they were saying, he could clearly feel the warmth between them.

It was truly rare. He never expected to see Qin Lie, the icy man, act like a doting father. It was an eye-opening experience.

“Boss,” Chen Tuo ran over. “The procedures are all done. When do you plan to move in?”

“Today,” he had a hunch that living here would be interesting in the future.

“Why the rush?” Chen Tuo was puzzled and still couldn’t understand why the boss wanted to live next to the Qin family. As far as he knew, their relationship wasn’t that good.

If he were to ask Ye Lingfeng’s thoughts, even he didn’t know. Perhaps it was just out of boredom.

“Clean up this place, I’ll move in tonight,” Ye Lingfeng said, then drove away.

Chen Tuo nodded and was about to find someone to clean up when he saw the father and daughter from the Qin family come out.

Zhouzhou was holding various bottles and jars that she had made yesterday. She bounced over and said, “Dad, I made an enhanced version of the hair growth tonic. This time, it only takes three days for the hair to grow. Let’s go sell it to Hanqiu.”

Wow, the Qin family’s little girl is even selling fake medicine.

If that hair growth tonic was really as effective as she claimed, would she have become bald at such a young age?

Chen Tuo pursed his lips and didn’t believe it at all. He had originally wanted to tease her a bit, but his chest was still hurting from where she kicked him. He didn’t dare to say more and turned to go inside.

Qin Lie glanced at him, didn’t say anything, and put Zhouzhou in the car.

Yesterday’s incident seemed to have given Zhouzhou motivation. She emerged from her sorrow as a negative old lady and regained her desire to become a wealthy woman. As soon as she opened her eyes, she wanted to make money.

Liu Hanqiu knew that she was coming and had been waiting at the door. When the car stopped, he immediately walked up and opened the door, wearing a respectful smile on his face. “Master, you’ve arrived.”

“Mm.” Zhouzhou nodded, jumped out of the car, and as she moved, the bottles and jars in her hands shook. The sound broke Liu Hanqiu’s heart a little, and he quickly took them, saying, “Let me hold them, Master.”

He felt heartbroken even if a pill was crushed.

“Here.” Zhouzhou didn’t mind and handed him the medicine.

Liu Hanqiu carefully took it. Seeing that she had casually put them in a plastic bag, he wanted to say something but swallowed his words.

Forget it, his master had always been so “simple.” Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sold talismans for only two yuan each.

Of course, Liu Hanqiu would never admit that it was because his master had no taste.

“Master, the counter is all set up. Take a look and see if there’s anything else you need to add,” Liu Hanqiu said, walking into the shop and pointing to the most prominent area.

The location was excellent, ensuring that customers could see these items as soon as they entered.

There was also a sign next to it with the names and effects of the medicines to ensure that customers knew.

“Actually, Master, it would be good if you made a few more types of medicine,” Liu Hanqiu said, displaying the bottles from the plastic bag. Inside, there were only three types: the hair growth tonic, the Revitalizing Pill, and the Hemostatic Pill.

Zhouzhou blinked and said, “Eldest Brother said to take it slow and focus on building the brand first.”

True.

Liu Hanqiu nodded and explained the selling of medicines to her.

Zhouzhou looked confused and turned to look at Qin Lie. She skillfully dumped the responsibility onto him.

Qin Lie hugged her and gently squeezed her hand to comfort her. After Liu Hanqiu finished speaking, he added, “If necessary, we can also accept private orders.”

There were countless patients, and each had different conditions. It was not possible to have one medicine that could cure all diseases. If there were any difficult cases, Zhouzhou could specially prepare customized medicines.

It was also a good way for her to accumulate merit by treating and saving people.

“And, you’ll get 10% of the money earned. That’s what Zhouzhou wants,” Qin Lie added.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou, who was playing with his hand in his arms, also nodded. When she saw him about to refuse, she waved her hand before he could speak, “It’s what you deserve.”

Although her voice was soft, it was sincere, not just empty politeness.

Liu Hanqiu didn’t argue either and promptly agreed, “If you need any medicine, just let me know.”

After finalizing all the details, Qin Lie carried Zhouzhou and left.

Not long after they left, Chen Tuo rushed in and asked, “Do you have any Hemostatic Pill? The most expensive and the best.”

“We do.” Liu Hanqiu pointed to the medicine that Zhouzhou had just brought and said, “This is the instant Hemostatic Pill. It can stop bleeding in emergencies. Just crush it and apply it to the wound. It’s 10,000 yuan per pill.”

So expensive?

Chen Tuo frowned, but then thought of something and quickly said, “Just this one. Give me ten of them and bring out all the Hemostatic Pill in your store.”

He swiftly swiped his card, grabbed a large bag of medicine, and hurriedly left.

Before leaving, he seemed to catch a glimpse of a black plastic bag, feeling oddly familiar.

Where did he see it before?
