After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 269

Chapter 269: Zhouzhou’s Scheme – You Scared Me, Pay Up!
Seeing Qin Lie’s expressionless face, the chubby boy burst into louder sobs, sniffling as he said, “It was all my mom who told me. She said Qin Bei’s mom is a dumb eye candy.”

At this, Xiao Lan kicked the door open, looking at the chubby boy’s mother with cold eyes. “Oh? An eye candy? Do you think it’s easy to be one?” she said, her gaze scanning the woman.

Xiao Lan was dressed simply and elegantly, with no complex designs, her natural beauty undiminished. She gave the woman a sidelong glance and said earnestly, “Even if you envy me, it’s pointless because you can never be an eye candy in this lifetime. You can only be a…”

She paused, her gaze falling on the woman’s large waist, then continued, “…barrel.”

The chubby boy’s mother’s eyes flashed with jealousy and anger, but seeing Qin Lie, she didn’t dare say anything and only glared at Xiao Lan. So what if she’s pretty! Without that face, she’s nothing!

Meanwhile, the principal had pulled up the surveillance footage, displaying it on the big screen. It clearly showed the chubby boy provoking first and even starting the physical altercation, with the twins only retaliating in defense. The high-resolution footage left no room for denial.

The principal stood up and said, “Although Dou Dou sustained the most injuries, he was indeed the provocateur. Qin Nan and Qin Bei were defending themselves and their mother, so they’re not at fault.”

Exactly!

Qin Nan and Qin Bei proudly put their hands on their hips. Insulting their dad was one thing, but insulting their mom was unacceptable!

“As for Zhouzhou…” The principal looked over.

Zhouzhou’s eyes darted around before she suddenly clutched her chest and slid off Qin Lie’s lap, saying, “It hurts! He scared me so much my heart condition flared up.”

She rolled onto the ground, her face pale, looking genuinely distressed. Only Qin Lie could see her eyes darting about, clearly acting.

Earlier, her seventh brother had mentioned that hitting someone required compensation, but in her anger, she had forgotten to hold back. Now, she didn’t want to pay up!

Seeing this, Qin Lie cooperated, “Call a doctor immediately!” He stared at the chubby boy’s mother, his gaze cold, “If anything happens to my daughter, your family will pay dearly.”

Terrified, the chubby boy’s mother had recognized him the moment he entered. She never expected Zhouzhou to be a child of the Qin family. Panic set in as she realized her family, despite its wealth, couldn’t afford to offend the Qins.

Seeing Zhouzhou seemingly in distress, she paled and quickly got up, saying, “I’m sorry, Mr. Qin. We’ll cover all medical expenses! Name your price, and we’ll pay!”

“Do I look like I need your money?” Qin Lie glanced at them.

On the ground, Zhouzhou tugged at his pants, giving him a look. Qin Lie bent down, picked her up, and gently patted her back. Zhouzhou instantly got the hint and continued to moan in pain.

The chubby boy’s mother, more panicked, pulled out a card, “Here’s a million yuan. Consider it an apology to Miss Qin.”

Feeling the little girl in his arms perk up, Qin Lie patted her back again, waiting until she settled before saying, “I don’t want to see you here again.”

Understanding his meaning, the chubby boy’s mother reluctantly nodded, “Yes, we’ll transfer to somewhere else right away.”

Though this kindergarten was good, it wasn’t the best. She never expected the Qin family to send their child here. Now, she regretted speaking carelessly in front of her son.

With the issue resolved, the principal called for someone to handle the chubby boy’s transfer. The mother and son left, looking dejected.

As soon as they were out of sight, Zhouzhou’s head popped up, “Daddy, we got money!”

She had been worried about earning money earlier, but it turned out to be so easy. Shaking her head with a grin, her lucky charm ponytail swaying, she said, “We should have kept him around to keep paying us.”

She had always been the one paying others; how had she forgotten she could make others pay her too?

The little girl grew more and more excited, “I could even let him hit me for real and then make him pay me…”

Just as she finished speaking, Qin Lie flicked her on the forehead. Zhouzhou, with her chubby little hands holding her head, looked at him in confusion and some grievance.

Why did Daddy hit her?

Qin Lie gave her a calm look, “You want to resort to extortion just for money?”

“What’s extortion?” Zhouzhou asked, tilting her head in confusion.

“What you just described is extortion.”

Well, it didn’t sound like a good word. The money-making idea was gone. Zhouzhou sighed regretfully and leaned against his shoulder, looking deflated.

The principal, watching her, couldn’t help but smile. He was somewhat partial to the little girl, not only because of his friendship with Grandpa Qin but also because the girl was genuinely adorable.

However, he still said, “Zhouzhou, if something happens in the future, you can come to the teachers. Don’t handle it yourself, okay?”

He had seen the surveillance footage just now; the little girl was quite strong, every bit of her meal showing in her strength. He wasn’t worried about her being bullied, but rather about her causing trouble. What if she accidentally injured someone seriously?

Zhouzhou nodded obediently, her voice sweet and soft, “I understand, Principal Grandpa.”

Seeing his concern, she explained, “Principal Grandpa, I know my limits. I won’t hurt anyone badly.”

If she caused serious injury, she’d have to pay for it, and she wasn’t the type to throw money around carelessly.

The principal nodded, “It’s good to have limits.”

He then looked at Qin Lie, “It’s almost time for school to end anyway. You should take the children home now.”

“Alright.” Qin Lie nodded, glancing at the children behind him. His eyes lingered on Huo Ji’an for a moment before he said, “Let’s go.”

Huo Ji’an nodded, and Qin Nan and Qin Bei gathered around Zhouzhou, looking at her with admiration. Having a tough little sister was great; they could now act like softies under her protection. Who would dare bully them now? If anyone tried, they’d just unleash Zhouzhou!

Qin Yan and Xiao Lan, the parents, were left behind by the children, but they didn’t mind and followed at their own pace.

Back home, Zhouzhou suddenly remembered something. She hugged Xiao Lan’s leg, her little head resting gently against her soft belly, and said, “Third Auntie, don’t listen to what those people say. You’re really smart and know a lot.”

Xiao Lan didn’t mind the comments. She had been through a lot in the entertainment industry over the years and had seen it all. But the little girl’s thoughtfulness warmed her heart.

Looking at the little girl, a thought suddenly crossed Xiao Lan’s mind. She asked, “Zhouzhou, do you want to earn some money?”
