After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 260

Chapter 260: The Little Boat of Friendship Between Dafu and Caicai Almost Capsized
Ye Lingfeng casually got out of bed and heard footsteps approaching his door. He couldn’t help but curl his lips into a sneer. They really have no fear of death.

He abruptly opened the door, but the expected killer move didn’t happen. Instead, he heard a sound of “pa” as if someone fell down.

Something’s not right.

He turned on the light with a “pah” and his vision became clear. He looked at the little brat lying on the ground and couldn’t help but feel speechless. “What are you doing?”

Huo Ji’an was lying on the ground, his legs weak, unable to get up. He could only stretch out his little chicken claw towards Ye Lingfeng, his lips trembling, his voice weak and feeble. “Hungry.”

Huh?

Wasn’t he the one who didn’t eat?

Ye Lingfeng raised an eyebrow and bent down to lift him up. He was as light as a feather; his daughter could outweigh two of him!

“What do you want to eat?”

This question stumped Huo Ji’an. He hadn’t eaten anything in a long time, and he didn’t know what he wanted to eat, but he was really hungry.

Ye Lingfeng took him to the kitchen and looked around. His gaze finally fell on a piece of toast. Zhouzhou didn’t like it because it wasn’t filling enough, so she didn’t eat it. It was about to expire, so he might as well give it to Huo Ji’an.

This way, he could perfectly execute his daughter’s frugal ambitions. Originally, he had kept it for himself, but he decided to give it to this little chicken instead.

“Is a sandwich okay?”

“Yeah.” Huo Ji’an nodded.

In just a few minutes, the sandwich was ready. Ye Lingfeng placed the plate on the table and poured him a glass of milk. He watched as Huo Ji’an wolfed it down, doubting for a moment if his eating disorder was real.

He didn’t see any signs of aversion to food. He seemed quite happy eating.

Huo Ji’an didn’t know what was happening either. He had fallen asleep not long ago, and suddenly his stomach started growling. At first, he thought it was just an illusion, but then he realized he was hungry.

It had been a long time since he had felt this sensation.

After finishing the sandwich, he licked his lips and touched his stomach, finally feeling comfortable.

“Are you full?” Ye Lingfeng asked.

Huo Ji’an nodded. “Thank you, Dad.”

Ye Lingfeng glanced at him, got up, and took the plate to the kitchen to wash. He said, “I only have Zhouzhou as my child, so you can call me Uncle.”

Upon hearing this, a sense of disappointment flashed in Huo Ji’an’s eyes. He couldn’t help but say, “Zhouzhou is really lucky to have two dads, and both of them are so good.”

“Then which one do you think is the best?”

Huo Ji’an tilted his head and thought for a moment, but instead of answering, he said, “Zhouzhou likes the other dad more. She calls you Uncle.”

Ye Lingfeng’s face darkened, and he glared at him with irritation. He had given him a meal for nothing!

Huo Ji’an innocently looked at him. It was him who asked first, he was just stating the truth.

Ye Lingfeng felt a pang in his heart as soon as he saw him. Even a child could see it, how heartbreaking.

An Ya couldn’t help but find it amusing. “Alright, take it slow. There’s no rush. I can see that Zhouzhou is starting to get closer to you now.”

“That’s because she wants to sell me and make money,” Ye Lingfeng muttered.

“Well, it’s better than her ignoring you.”

That’s true.

Ye Lingfeng let out a long sigh and thought to himself that he should try harder. Next time, he wanted Zhouzhou to think of Qin Lie first when she decided to sell her dad.

Seeing his expression, An Ya couldn’t help but chuckle. She found his lack of determination rather amusing. He was becoming less valuable.

However, she didn’t say it out loud. Instead, she cooperatively said that he would definitely become Zhouzhou’s favorite dad in the future.

Ye Lingfeng also naively believed that it would be the case. Even in his dreams, he couldn’t help but smile.

The next day, he brought Huo Ji’an to the Qin family. He had been having breakfast at the Qin family’s house during this period, and sometimes Grandma Qin would also invite him for lunch.

After warmly greeting Grandma Qin, Ye Lingfeng immediately went to look for Zhouzhou’s figure.

Seeing him with a child by his side, Grandma Qin curiously asked, “Who is this?”

“My employer.”

“Huh?” Grandma Qin was dumbfounded and didn’t understand what he meant.

Ye Lingfeng explained the whole story, and after hearing it, Grandma Qin couldn’t help but laugh and cry. She looked at her granddaughter and tapped her on the head, saying, “Little money lover, you shouldn’t treat your dad like this.”

Not only was she a money lover, but she was also biased. She was reluctant to sell Qin Lie but was willing to sell Ye Lingfeng.

Zhouzhou, hugging her bowl, tilted her head and looked up at Grandma Qin with a soft smile. “Sharp Tongue Uncle is willing to do it himself.”

“That’s because he spoils you and is willing to accompany you in your mischief. Otherwise, do you think he really cares about that fifty yuan?” Although Grandma Qin was happy that her granddaughter was getting closer to her family, she didn’t want to hurt Ye Lingfeng’s feelings. She patiently advised, “Zhouzhou, from now on, treat both dads equally and don’t favor one over the other.”

“Oh.” Zhouzhou hugged her bowl, her eyes rolling around, feeling a bit guilty.

Upon seeing this, Ye Lingfeng felt sorry for her again. “It’s alright, I don’t have much to do lately anyway.”

“You spoil her too much.” Grandma Qin said helplessly.

Ye Lingfeng smiled, looking a bit silly, with a sincere and honest appearance. “As long as Zhouzhou is happy.”

Hearing these words, Grandma Qin’s impression of Ye Lingfeng improved even more, and she also felt a bit sorry for him. She kept serving him food, saying, “Eat more.”

“Thank you, Aunt. You should eat too.”

The two of them were quite intimate. People who didn’t know would think they were mother and son.

While the others were not paying attention, Ye Lingfeng’s gaze swept towards Qin Lie, secretly showing off. When the others looked over, he smiled innocently, showing a face of pure goodness.

Zhouzhou’s nose twitched, and she looked at him with her head tilted. Why did she smell tea fragrance? But no one was drinking tea.

Strange.

It had to be said that Ye Lingfeng’s strategy was not wrong. At least now, the other members of the Qin family had no hostility towards him, except for the seven brothers.

From time to time, when Qin Nan or Qin Bei glared at him while holding their bowls, Qin Er looked at Huo Ji’an and tried to sell him. “Do you still need a temporary big brother? How about me? I can pick you up from school every day without involving any middlemen. Just give me fifty yuan.”

Since it was on the way, fifty yuan a day was easy money!

Before Huo Ji’an could respond, the little middleman spoke up, “But Brother Dafu, we finish school early. How about we go pick you up? You give…”

Before he could finish his sentence, Qin Er trembled and immediately refused, “No need!”

If they continued, they would end up picking him up and making money off him!

In this world, no one understood money better than him!

“Alright.” Zhouzhou pouted in regret, feeling disappointed for not earning any money.

Huo Ji’an looked at them with curiosity. He only had one child in his family and had never experienced such a situation.

Seeing that Qin Er was a little down, he suggested, “Then, how about being my temporary big brother on weekends?”

Hearing this, Qin Er’s eyes lit up. “Okay!”

He could earn a hundred yuan in two days!

Zhouzhou also looked at him eagerly. “Can I be your temporary little sister?”

“Sure.” Huo Ji’an readily agreed.

Zhouzhou immediately smiled, her eyes and brows curved. She happily wiggled her short legs.

Remembering something, she quickly took out a pill from her bag and handed it to him.

Looking at the pill, Huo Ji’an suddenly remembered something. It was because he smelled the fragrance of medicine yesterday that he became hungry!
