After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 250

Chapter 250: This Place Has No Hidden Treasure
The little girl ran back and forth, and no one knew what she was busy with. The people sitting in the living room were curious and followed her. They saw her erecting a sign next to the bed, with words written on it.

Ye Lingfeng approached and burst out laughing as soon as he saw it. On the sign were seven big characters: “No gold under the bed, 30,000 taels!” The words were large and eye-catching, attracting anyone passing by to take a look.

Qin Lie’s lips curved up as well. This silly little girl didn’t originally know where she hid the gold, but now, everyone knew.

Hearing their voices, Zhouzhou turned her head, puffed up her chubby waist, and with a hint of pride, she emphasized while hugging Qin Lie’s leg, “Dad, there really is no gold hidden under my bed.”

Qin Lie suppressed his laughter and nodded. “Hmm.” He reached out and touched her head, tilting his head slightly to block her line of sight. He took the opportunity to silently chuckle, unable to hold it in.

Then he cleared his throat, removed his hand, and saw the little girl blinking her big, watery eyes at him, looking silly and innocent.

Grandma Qin was also delighted and chimed in, “That’s right, Zhouzhou definitely doesn’t have anything under her bed.”

Seeing the little girl vigorously nodding her head, she became even happier and didn’t ask Zhouzhou to put away the gold bars on the bed. Instead, she added another layer of bedding so that she wouldn’t be uncomfortable.

After completing all of this, she hurriedly led everyone back to the living room. She had to leave some face for her granddaughter.

Zhouzhou thought she had come up with a good plan and didn’t realize that everyone was just going along with her. They all knew that she loved gold, but even Ye Lingfeng, who usually had a sharp tongue, didn’t expose the truth this time and pretended to believe her words.

Zhouzhou felt completely at ease and found that she slept especially sweetly that night.

Soon, it was time to start school. It was Zhouzhou’s first time attending school, and she was carrying a small backpack made by her great aunt with novelty. It had a golden exterior with an embroidered beckoning cat, looking adorable. Zhouzhou instantly fell in love with it.

Seeing her bulging backpack, Qin Lie walked over, opened it, and took out the talisman papers and cinnabar with his hand.

“Dad?” Zhouzhou looked at him with confusion.

Qin Lie explained, “Zhouzhou, you can’t bring these to school.”

“Why?” Zhouzhou blinked her eyes in confusion.

Qin Lie didn’t know how to explain and could only say, “In any case, you can’t use these things in front of your teachers and classmates. It will scare them.”

Oh, okay. Zhouzhou tilted her little head and thought for a moment. “Alright, I’ll listen to Dad.”

“Good girl.” Qin Lie raised his hand and rubbed her head.

On the other side, Grandma Qin brought snacks and fruits, stuffing them into her backpack. She reminded her, “Zhouzhou, if you’re missing anything, just give Grandma a call. Grandma will bring it to you. Don’t starve yourself.”

“Okay, okay!” Zhouzhou nodded happily, her face filled with excitement. She asked, “Grandma, is school fun?”

“Not fun at all.” Before Grandma Qin could answer, Qin Bei’s voice came through. He was lying on the sofa, his eyes still red from crying after Qin Yan spanked him for refusing to go to school.

He sniffled and pouted, “It’s not interesting at all. It’s so boring, a bunch of little brats.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he received another knock on his head.

Qin Yan glanced at him. “Aren’t you a little brat too? A little brat who cries when going to school.”

“I’m not!”

Qin Bei puffed up his cheeks and stamped his feet in a fit of anger, “I don’t want to go to school.”

“It’s not up to you.” Qin Yan ignored him and directly grabbed the back of his collar, lifting him up and throwing him into the car. She locked the car door, and faintly, one could still hear Qin Bei’s cries and protests.

Zhouzhou was also taken aback, her little face showing hesitation. Was school really that scary?

“Don’t listen to Little Bei’s nonsense.” Qin Ren walked over, bent down to look at his little cousin, and reassured her, “School is fun, and if you study well, you can even earn rewards.”

Rewards!

Sure enough, when Zhouzhou heard this, her eyes lit up, and she raised her hand, saying, “I want to go to school!”

This method still works.

Qin Ren couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, taking her hand and walking outside. He said, “Little Nan and Little Bei are in the same kindergarten as you. They are in the senior class. If you need anything, you can find them. Little Feng is in the same class as you.”

Qin Feng was only one month older than Zhouzhou. He hadn’t been able to go to school before because of his leg, but now that his leg had recovered and he could run and jump like any other child, he also wanted to go to kindergarten.

Grandma Qin simply arranged for the two of them to be in the same class so that they could take care of each other.

Zhouzhou listened carefully and nodded. She turned her head and held Qin Feng’s hand, smiling at him and saying softly, “Seventh Elder Brother, I’ll protect you. If anyone dares to bully you, I’ll beat them up!”

As she spoke, she waved her chubby little fist.

Qin Ren didn’t mean it that way, but when he looked at the little girl, he didn’t say anything.

When Qin Feng heard this, he also laughed and nodded, “Thank you, Zhouzhou.”

“You’re welcome!” Zhouzhou lifted her chin, confidently waved her hand, and looked very imposing.

At the entrance, the entire Qin family was there. Xi Mo, Xi Yan, and Ye Lingfeng had also come to send Zhouzhou to school.

Looking at her, Ye Lingfeng walked over, his hands behind his back, and he touched Zhouzhou’s hair.

It had been over two months since she was struck by lightning, and her hair had grown a little. It hadn’t reached the point where she could tie it up yet. He coughed lightly and brought his hand forward, placing something on her head, and said, “Back-to-school gift.”

Huh?

Curiously, Zhouzhou took off what was on her head. When she saw what it was, she jumped with joy, her little face filled with happiness as she exclaimed, “It’s a fortune hairpin!”

She was holding a small hairpin in her hand, with a row of upward-facing pigtails and small gold ingots tied to it. It looked exactly like her previous fortune hairpin.

Zhouzhou couldn’t stop smiling, and she handed the hairpin to Ye Lingfeng. She stretched her little head forward and said, “Sharp Tongue Uncle, help me put it on!”

Ye Lingfeng smiled, took it, and helped her put it on. Just as he was about to speak, he saw the little girl quickly run to Qin Lie’s side, shaking her head and showing off, “Dad, look! My fortune hairpin is back.”

Ye Lingfeng’s face instantly darkened.

Jealous!

When something happened to the little girl, the first person she thought of was still Qin Lie!

Seeing him like this, An Ya couldn’t help but cover her mouth and secretly laugh.

But she was still happy. At least he was a little more like he was five years ago, loving to talk and laugh. That was good.

She didn’t like his gloomy demeanor.

However, Ye Lingfeng didn’t notice her thoughts. He gritted his teeth, his vinegar jar nearly overturned. But thinking of An Ya’s reminder, he kept a smiling face on.

Qin Lie glanced at him but didn’t say anything. He just lifted the corners of his mouth and looked at his little daughter, praising her, “It looks good and brings good luck.”

“That’s right!” Zhouzhou happily grinned, holding his hand and saying, “I’ll be able to get rich again soon.”

“Okay.” Qin Lie agreed, nodding, and led her to the car.

Ye Lingfeng unwillingly chased after them.

No matter what, it was Zhouzhou’s first day of school, and he had to go too!

The whole family, in a grand procession, accompanied Zhouzhou to the kindergarten.

Soon, they arrived at the school and followed the signs to the registration area.

It was the start of the new semester, and only Zhouzhou and Qin Feng were transfer students. Qin Lie bowed his head and filled out the family information form. He wrote his name in the father’s column and was about to return the form to the teacher when a hand suddenly reached out and snatched it away.

Turning his head, he saw Ye Lingfeng looking at him displeased, saying, “I’m Zhouzhou’s father too, and I haven’t filled it out yet.”

Qin Lie calmly said, “I’m sorry, I’ve already filled out the father’s column. If you insist on putting your name on it, there’s only this one left.”

He pointed to the “mother” column.

Ye Lingfeng gritted his teeth, “You wish!”

No way!
