After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 266

Chapter 266: Mommy’s Little Cotton-padded Jacket
Grandpa Xi: “…”

Xi Yan: “…” She’s really straightforward, rounding off the amount without missing a digit.

Xi Mo lightly coughed into his hand, a rare and slightly awkward smile tugging at his usually stern face.

Chen Tuo, who was familiar with such situations, brightened up and said, “Our Zhouzhou’s medicine is top-notch. Even at the Shennong Hall, it’s priced at 100,000 per pill. Life-saving divine medicine, definitely worth every penny.”

Grandpa Xi could attest to this. When he fell and hit his head, he felt uneasy at first but strangely fine upon waking. There was also the peculiar medicine that kept him conscious while inducing a coma and the talisman that let him hear the phone conversation. These things clearly justified her prices.

Without any hesitation, Grandpa Xi pulled out a bank card. Just as he was about to say that the card contained more than 220,000 and she could have it all, the little girl swiftly took it, pulled out a POS machine from her bag, and completed the transaction in a flash, with well-practiced ease.

He was stunned. Why did she carry a POS machine with her?

Zhouzhou, however, had no intention of chatting with him. After securing the money, she wiggled her little legs, signaling Qin Lie to put her down.

Next, Zhouzhou pulled out a bunch of magical items from her bag, quickly covering the ground with them. The Qin family was used to this, but Xi Yan was shocked, especially when she pulled out an alchemy furnace almost as tall as she was.

Is this even real?

Xi Mo’s expression also changed but quickly calmed. His little niece could even summon An Ya’s soul back; there was nothing she couldn’t do. Stay calm.

Zhouzhou continued to pull out a large number of items until she was sweating, finally finishing and looking eagerly at Qin Lie, “Daddy, can you help me take these to the mountain for my master? He always says our Sanqing Temple is too poor to even provide weapons for disciples. Now we have plenty.”

Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

Qin Lie looked at her, nodded slightly, and patted her on the head, “Okay.”

“Thank you, Daddy! You’re the best!” She hugged his leg and rubbed her head against it affectionately. After dinner, Zhouzhou immediately called for the master and ran upstairs.

Such a small child, yet she was always the busiest.

An Ya watched her with a smile, then turned to the others and excused herself before floating upstairs after Zhouzhou.

As soon as she entered, Zhouzhou, without noticing her mother’s presence, dove under the bed and started pulling out all the gold hidden there. She even retrieved the gold bars under her mattress, not missing a single one, and piled them up in front of the master along with the box of money Xi Yan had given her. Then, she took out her bank card and said, “Master, take all of these and exchange them for merit. When my mom reincarnates, can you give her some extra merit?”

Hearing this, An Ya paused in her tracks.

The little girl was busy and sweaty, unaware of her mother’s arrival.

The master saw An Ya but didn’t expose Zhouzhou’s secret, floating cross-legged in the air. He asked, “Didn’t you already give her merit before? Why more now?”

Zhouzhou shook her head, “Mom missed the best time to reincarnate. Next time will definitely affect her somehow. I want to give her more merit so she can have a better life in her next one.”

“Are you sure? This is all your savings.”

Zhouzhou looked at the gold on the ground, her eyes filled with reluctance.

Despite her reluctance, Zhouzhou gritted her teeth and pushed all the gold towards the master, nodding resolutely, “I’m willing.”

She covered her eyes and urged, “Master, take it quickly, or I’ll regret it.”

Her heart ached. The money was gone again, and she’d have to earn it all back.

Previously, they had agreed that the master couldn’t take anything given to Zhouzhou by her family, so he had longed for this gold but never touched it. Now that Zhouzhou offered it willingly, he was overjoyed.

Seeing An Ya hiding by the wall, the master nodded, “Alright, I’ll take it all.” With a wave of his hand, the gold on the floor disappeared, and a golden light flashed through the room. Zhouzhou opened her eyes to see his glowing golden arm, exclaiming in surprise. But remembering that it was her gold that had bought it, her eyes welled up again.

“Master, you’re charging too much,” Zhouzhou said, pulling at her hair, worried.

So much gold only restored one arm. How much would it take to restore his entire body?

She counted on her fingers, feeling even more overwhelmed.

The master, however, was in high spirits, satisfied with his golden arm, which had been chopped off by Ye Lingfeng. Seeing Zhouzhou so worried, he reassured her, “Don’t worry, you’re only five years old; there’s plenty of time. It’ll be quick.”

Was he expecting her to work for him her whole life? Zhouzhou kicked her little legs and rolled around on the bed, distressed.

The master, laughing heartily, retreated into the wooden carving with his golden arm. An Ya floated over, sitting by the bed, and gently stroked Zhouzhou’s head.

Feeling her touch, Zhouzhou stopped rolling and opened her eyes. Seeing her mother, she brightened up, “Mommy!” She pounced into An Ya’s arms.

An Ya hugged her, her eyes filled with gratitude, and gently rubbed her chin against Zhouzhou’s hair, “Thank you, Zhouzhou.”

With a loving husband and a dutiful daughter, An Ya felt that her short life had been worthwhile.

Zhouzhou pulled her little head out of An Ya’s embrace, puzzled, “Why are you thanking me, Mommy?”

“Thank you for giving your gold to Mommy,” An Ya said, lightly tapping Zhouzhou’s nose, her voice soft and full of affection.

Oh, that. Zhouzhou clutched her chest and waved it off, “It’s nothing, money is just an external thing. I can always earn more.”

Though her heart ached, she put on a magnanimous front, her lively expressions making An Ya laugh. She hugged her daughter tightly.

Her precious little girl was so endearing. The mother and daughter talked until An Ya put Zhouzhou to sleep with a story. Watching her daughter sleep, An Ya felt warmth in her heart.

Outside the door, Qin Lie held a glass of milk. He didn’t go in, his expression a mix of complexity and relief. Not wanting to disturb them, he quietly turned and left.

That night, after Zhouzhou fell asleep, An Ya floated back to the Ye family house. Ye Lingfeng was still awake. She approached him, sharing the events of the evening with him, her words full of emotion.

Snuggling into his embrace, holding his waist, she said, “Honey, with you all here, I feel very happy.”

Ye Lingfeng, hugging her back, was also touched by the little miser’s willingness to give up her money for Yaya. That must have been why she risked herself today.

An Ya thought of this too and suddenly looked up, “Honey, tomorrow you should give Zhouzhou a mountain of gold!”
