After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 248

Chapter 248: Fifteen Days in Prison
When Qin Lie received the call, he almost thought he had misheard and asked, “What happened to Zhouzhou?”

Why is she in prison again, and being detained for fifteen days?

Qin Lie immediately stood up and walked out as he listened to Qin Xu’s explanation. His mouth twitched slightly and he said, “I’ll go there right away.”

An Ya heard the commotion and hurriedly floated over, anxiously asking, “What happened to Zhouzhou?”

Qin Lie furrowed his brow and repeated what he had heard. Everyone fell silent upon hearing his words.

Only Zhouzhou would be willing to go to jail for two hundred yuan.

An Ya’s forehead also twitched as she thought a bit more than the others. It seemed that she had messed up again this time.

Still defending her little girl? Just wait and see!

The group hurriedly rushed to the police station. As soon as they entered, they saw Zhouzhou squatting in a corner, her head drooping, and her hands handcuffed.

Her posture was quite standard.

She had seen this when she was playing at the police station with Qin Xu, but she didn’t expect that one day it would come in handy for herself.

Without waiting for the police to say anything, as soon as they entered, Zhouzhou obediently squatted down. The police officers couldn’t help but burst into laughter at her cute appearance.

However, Qin Lie couldn’t laugh. He walked forward, picked up his little daughter, and looked at the handcuffs on her hands. He pressed her thumb to unlock them and then put the handcuffs away. He gently touched her slightly red wrist, feeling distressed.

When Zhouzhou saw him, her eyes brightened, and she remembered something. But then her expression dimmed, and she sobbed, “Dad, I’m going to jail. Let’s meet again after fifteen days.”

Qin Lie felt a little uncomfortable at first, but when he heard her words, he couldn’t help but laugh. He playfully tapped her forehead and said in a slightly reproachful tone, “You silly girl, you only have two days left before school starts. The tuition fee is more than two hundred yuan per day. If you don’t go to school because you’re in jail, then you’ll be really losing out.”

He didn’t emphasize that she had to pay the money, but instead, he calculated it for her.

Sure enough, the little money lover realized that going to jail would cost her more. Although she felt distressed, she still said, “Then I’ll pay the money.”

As she spoke, she took out a bundle of money from her bag, counted two hundred yuan, and tearfully handed it to the traffic policeman. “Officer, I’m here to pay the fine.”

The traffic policeman smiled and accepted the money but didn’t move. He lowered his head and saw the chubby little girl tightly holding onto the money, unwilling to let go.

“Wu wu wu, this is the money I earned from my stall. Officer, please don’t catch me again next time.”

The traffic policeman also found it amusing. “Okay, as long as you don’t make any mistakes in the future, I won’t fine you again.”

She would never ride a motocycle again.

Zhouzhou drooped her head and finally took a glance at him. She gritted her teeth, released her grip, and instantly buried her little head in Qin Lie’s arms, crying again.

Her money, her life, why were they so bitter?

Qin Lie held her in his arms, feeling distressed, and patted her back. “It’s okay, sell one talisman and you’ll be back.”

“Yes, yes.” Xi Yan nodded repeatedly. Seeing the little girl crying so sadly, she also felt a bit distressed. “It’s just money. Uncle has a lot. I’ll bring a box over for you later.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou blinked her eyes and tilted her head, asking, “Uncle, didn’t you say you were kicked out and didn’t have any money?”

Xi Yan’s face stiffened. Oops, he let it slip.

He was trying to come up with an excuse when Zhouzhou already figured it out and suddenly realized, “I know, you’re hiding your secret stash, right!”

“You are right.” Xi Yan breathed a sigh of relief and immediately nodded.

Zhouzhou shook her head, looking like she had already seen through their tricks. “Master was right, men all love hiding secret stashes of money.”

As she spoke, she looked at Xi Mo.

Xi Mo said, “Do you like gold? I have a box of golden goldfish there. I’ll give it to you when we go back.”

“Wow!” Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, and she reached out her hand to him. “Uncle, carry me!”

This heartless little girl, money is everything to her.

Qin Lie helplessly sighed but seeing that she had stopped crying, he let go of her hand as well.

Zhouzhou hugged Xi Mo’s neck, teaching him how to carry her and refusing to let go. Her little face was filled with a bright smile.

Seeing her like this, Xi Mo also smiled and wiped away the tears on her face. He said earnestly, “Don’t cry, Uncle has money. I’ll give it all to you.”

“Thank you, Uncle!” Zhouzhou pressed her face against his, leaving him with slobber all over.

Xi Mo froze for a moment, then lowered his gaze to the little girl in his arms. His heart softened bit by bit.

Ye Lingfeng watched with envy and leaned over, saying, “Zhouzhou, I also have money.”

However, as soon as Zhouzhou saw him, her little face immediately turned sour, and she turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

Whenever she thought of the two hundred yuan she had lost, she felt even more upset.

It was all because of that Sharp Tongue Uncle!

Ye Lingfeng also felt a headache. Who would have thought it would turn out like this? He had originally planned to make her call him “Dad” today, but now he wanted to call her “Dad.”

It was harder to coax a child than to complete a mission.

He couldn’t help but grab a handful of his hair, looking dejected.

Seeing this, An Ya couldn’t help but suppress a smile and floated over, hinting, “Aren’t you going to come up with a remedy?”

How can this be remedied?

Should he also give them money?

He refused with a snort, “No creativity at all.”

He didn’t want to give money. It was tacky.

An hour later, three people stood in front of the Qin family’s door, each carrying a box.

One hour later, three people stood in front of the Qin family’s door, each carrying a box.

Ye Lingfeng had a sack on his shoulder and glanced at Xi Mo. Seeing that he was only carrying a small box, he immediately felt relieved and straightened his back, saying, “Mr. Xi seems to be earning quite a lot of money.”

Xi Mo glanced at him and said lightly, “Not as much as Mr. Ye.”

Xi Yan didn’t want to see his brother fall behind, so he approached and said, “Mr. Ye, what’s in the sack? It’s not a pile of garbage, is it?”

“You wouldn’t understand.” He confidently weighed the sack on his back. “Zhouzhou likes it when things are in sacks.”

With that, he walked proudly inside.

Xi Yan sneered, feeling smug. What’s so great about it? He just carried a sack of junk, making it seem like he was carrying a mountain of gold.

However, as soon as he entered the house, he was dumbfounded.

He saw Ye Lingfeng open the sack, and inside, there were clinking sounds of gold bracelets, gold earrings, gold necklaces, golden pixiu, and gold bars spread all over the floor. The golden light was dazzling, enough to blind someone’s eyes.

It was a pile of miscellaneous items. If someone didn’t know, they would think it was a night market stall.

Did he bring a gold shop with him or what?

Zhouzhou was also stunned. After three seconds, she reacted and cheered. She pounced towards the gold, grabbed a gold necklace, and put it around her neck. In no time, she had worn thirty or forty of them.

She sat happily on the floor, holding a pile of gold in her arms, and asked, “Uncle, did you give all of this to me?”

Ye Lingfeng nodded. “Yes, there’s another car coming tomorrow. Due to the limited time, I only brought one sack for now.”

He pretended to be calm and looked proudly at Xi Mo and Xi Yan.

Hmph, he didn’t believe they could surpass him.

The two brothers fell silent.

They really couldn’t surpass him.

Qin Lie came out of the room, saw Zhouzhou sitting on the floor, smiling as if she had won a worthless prize, her mouth stretching to her ears, and then looked at the pile of gold on the floor. The corner of his mouth twitched.

Did he go rob a gold shop or something?
