After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 124

Chapter 124: My Honest and Sincere Eldest Senior Brother
Ever since its establishment, the Mu family has been a frequent presence in the political sphere. Apart from the retired Grandpa Mu, the other members of the Mu family hold high positions and have a clean reputation. It is impossible to find any dirt on them. If one hopes to witness the downfall of the Mu family, they might never live to see that day.

In other words, this little girl is under their protection.

At that moment, everyone looked at Zhouzhou in Mu Xuan’s arms with astonishment, unable to comprehend how she had such good luck

However, Zhouzhou paid no attention to their thoughts. Her eyes sparkled as she looked at Grandpa Mu and said in a childish voice, “Grandpa, I like you!”

With just one sentence, Grandpa Mu, who had been serious just moments ago, burst into laughter. “Come, little girl, let Grandpa give you a hug.”

A child who is cherished by A’ Xuan must be extraordinary.

However, Zhouzhou shook her head and said, “Grandpa, I’m fat. You won’t be able to lift me.”

With that, she patted Mu Xuan’s shoulder, signaling him to put her down.

She then ran to Grandpa Mu, hugged his leg, and looked up with a bright smile. “I’ll hug Grandpa myself.”

The little girl’s chubby body was soft, and her hug could melt anyone’s heart.

“Good, good, good.” Grandpa Mu nodded repeatedly, holding her hand and walking towards the main building. “Come, let’s have a chat, just you and me.”

“Okay.” Zhouzhou smiled and followed, grabbing his hand. She pretended to inadvertently brush past his wrist, feeling worried inside.

Sure enough, Grandpa’s health was not good.

But Eldest Senior Brother wouldn’t let her say anything, so she kept it to herself.

Seeing this, the others dispersed, looking at Qin Lie with envy in their eyes.

The Qin family was already powerful, and now that they had a connection with the Mu family, they were even more formidable in the future.

It was said that this little girl was adopted by the Qin family, but no one knew where they had found her. They also wanted to find a child like her.

Just adopting a little girl could lead to a connection with the Mu family. They hit the jackpot.

However, Qin Lie didn’t have such thoughts. He followed behind, his expression calm and his heart like still water. He didn’t have much reaction to the fact that the Mu family liked Zhouzhou.

Seeing his demeanor, Mu Xuan cast a slightly higher glance at him. However, he still needed to observe further.

The group arrived at the dining hall, and it happened to be time for a meal. Zhouzhou and Qin Lie sat at the main table.

Looking at the little girl sitting on Mu Xuan’s lap, everyone’s hearts became even more complex.

Ignoring their expressions, Zhouzhou introduced, “Eldest Senior Brother, this is my dad. He’s great! He makes sure I eat well at every meal!”

After speaking, she looked at Qin Lie, delighted. “Dad, this is my Eldest Senior Brother.”

Upon hearing this, the two men exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and greeted each other.

Then, Mu Xuan served Zhouzhou food and asked the servants to bring double portions of all the vegetarian dishes.

Mu Zhan furrowed his brows, intending to say that there was no need for special treatment. However, he quickly realized that the little girl had an enormous appetite. She quickly devoured the food, and in a short while, almost half the dishes on the table were gone. He understood Mu Xuan’s intentions.

Zhouzhou also noticed this and quickly waved her little hand. “Eldest Senior Brother, no more. If I keep eating, there won’t be any left for everyone else.”

“It’s fine.” Mu Xuan continued to feed her. “There will be more coming soon. Eldest Senior Brother has plenty of food here.”

Seeing that someone was indeed bringing more dishes, Zhouzhou finally felt relieved and resumed eating.

Grandpa Mu looked at her and grew fonder of her the more he looked.

The little girl was cute, with clear and bright eyes, and a mischievous charm. She looked like a smart child.

Mu Xuan’s face was filled with tenderness, and for a moment, there was a touch of nostalgia. It was the first time he saw his eldest grandson like this.

This child was unfamiliar with them, but he was very good to this little girl.

With these thoughts in mind, his gaze fell on Zhouzhou, and he asked gently, “Little girl, what is your name?”

“Grandpa, my name is Zhouzhou,” Zhouzhou replied after swallowing the food in her mouth. Then she shook her little head and puffed out her small chest, looking proud. “My full name is Qin Caicai!”

This name…

Grandpa Mu glanced at Qin Lie, then looked at the proud little girl. He couldn’t help but feel amused and praised her along with her words. “Good name.”

Yes, yes, she also thought so!

Zhouzhou gave him a thumbs-up and winked at him. “Grandpa has good taste.”

Mu Xuan couldn’t help but smile. His junior sister still loved money so much.

Qin Lie raised his eyes and glanced at the little girl, a hint of a smile flashing in his eyes.

After finishing the meal, Mu Xuan took Zhouzhou back to his separate small building. He pointed to the peach wood swords in the living room and said, “Zhouzhou, look, these were collected for you by your Eldest Senior Brother. Do you like them?”

“Yeah, I like them!” Zhouzhou vigorously nodded her head, her eyes filled with joy. “Thank you, Eldest Senior Brother.”

“No need to be polite.” Mu Xuan held her hand and sat down on the sofa, holding a fruit plate in his hand. He casually asked, “Zhouzhou, how did you become a child of the Qin family? Also, when did you come down from the mountain?”

Zhouzhou took a bite of the apple in his hand, leaned against his chest, and said softly, “Eldest Senior Brother, I’ve been down for almost three months.”

“My master couldn’t afford to raise me, so I came down from the mountain. I originally wanted to find Senior Martial Uncle Mingtong, but on my first day, I made Senior Martial Uncle Mingtong go broke.” She scratched her head embarrassedly and whispered, “Eldest Senior Brother, you know how much I can eat.”

Mu Xuan made a sound of acknowledgment, and touched her head, which was no longer as smooth as before, as her hair had grown quite a bit. However, it still felt good to the touch. “And then?”

“Then I met Grandma. Grandma said she would take care of me and make sure I have enough to eat every meal, so I went home with her.”

“Eldest Senior Brother, it’s so magical. I didn’t make Grandma bankrupt!” She was still excited about it.

Upon hearing this, Mu Xuan calculated for a moment and was somewhat surprised. Zhouzhou’s fate seemed to be quite compatible with the Qin family. They had suffered separately, but when they came together, they could offset each other’s misfortunes.

With that in mind, his eyebrows relaxed slightly. As long as his junior sister could eat her fill, that was good.

“By the way, you mentioned something about our Ancestral Master earlier. What’s the matter?” Mu Xuan asked.

“It’s this.” Zhouzhou took out Ancestral Master statue from her bag and pointed at the golden light on it, feeling excited. “Eldest Senior Brother, look, I earned this money and merit.”

“Ancestral Master said that when he materializes in golden light, he will change my fate of being short of money. In the future, even if I have a little trouble, I can still be a happy little rich woman!”

As she spoke, her chubby legs couldn’t help but wiggle along, and bubbles of happiness popped up all over her.

Mu Xuan thoughtfully stroked his chin and looked at Ancestral Master, then said, “I’ll go upstairs for a moment. You eat first. If there’s anything you want to eat, you can tell your Eldest Senior Brother.”

“Okay.” Zhouzhou obediently nodded her head. “Eldest Senior Brother, go ahead and do your things.”

“Okay.”

After he went upstairs, Ancestral Master emerged from the statue and sat cross-legged on the sofa. “Zhouzhou, how is this Eldest Senior Brother of yours?”

“He’s very good,” Zhouzhou replied.

That was her impression of him.

Ancestral Master pursed his lips. “I’m asking about his attitude towards others.”

Zhouzhou tilted her head, not understanding his meaning. Eldest Senior Brother was a good person, so naturally, he treated everyone well.

After thinking for a moment, she suddenly remembered a comment her master had made about her Eldest Senior Brother. So she repeated, “Eldest Senior Brother is the most honest and sincere person.”

She ignored the “looks like” that her master had added before. In her heart, her Eldest Senior Brother was a good person, both inside and out.

Hearing this, Ancestral Master felt relieved and pondered on how to make Mu Xuan earn some merit for him. After all, he was Ancestral Master of Sanqing Temple, and the younger generations should show filial piety to him.

Just as he was thinking, Mu Xuan came down from upstairs. Ancestral Master was about to float over to show himself, but he heard Mu Xuan say, “Zhouzhou, this is the asset list of our Ancestral Master that I found. Since you are helping him now, he should give you some salary.”

Ancestral Master: ?!

He was about to be stripped of all his money, and he was still considered honest and sincere???
