After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 271

Chapter 271: We’re Here to Make Money!
Seeing how much Zhouzhou wanted to go, Grandma Qin said, “Alright, then go. We can ask the director to give Zhouzhou some extra food.”

Grandma Qin’s principles were simple: as long as her granddaughter was happy and well-fed, she was satisfied.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan said sourly, “Mom, you didn’t offer to help Lanlan and me when we went.”

Grandma Qin gave him a light glance and said bluntly, “Can you compare to Zhouzhou?”

Qin Yan: “…”

He shouldn’t have said anything!

Seeing her husband get shut down, Xiao Lan chuckled softly. Then, she remembered something and spoke seriously, “Mom, that might not work. The show is a 24-hour live broadcast, so there might not be an opportunity.”

If the director did give Zhouzhou special treatment, Zhouzhou would likely face criticism.

Qin Lie thought for a moment and asked, “Are there any restrictions on how you use the ten yuan?”

Xiao Lan shook her head. There weren’t any.

Seeing this, Qin Lie smirked and took his little girl upstairs.

Everyone looked at each other, puzzled.

“What’s he up to?” Qin Yan asked, confused.

Xiao Lan and Grandma Qin shook their heads.

On the side, Grandpa Qin, who was calmly reading a newspaper, turned a page and said, “He’s teaching her some secrets.”

Huh? What did that mean? What secrets couldn’t be shared with them?

There were no basic trust in this family!!!

Qin Yan thought bitterly to himself.

That evening, when Qin Er came home and heard about this, he also wanted to go. He wouldn’t pass up a money-making opportunity.

Zhouzhou wanted him to come along but knew they needed Xiao Lan’s approval, so she looked at her with wide, pleading eyes.

Faced with the little girl’s watery eyes, Xiao Lan, as expected, couldn’t resist and agreed immediately.

They had initially told the show that they would bring two kids.

Since the number hadn’t changed, it should be fine.

However, Xiao Lan still called the director.

The director agreed readily, considering their identities.

After hanging up, he looked at the picture on his phone of Xiao Lan and Qin Yan gnawing on buns and couldn’t help but nod in satisfaction.

Such a contrast and hype would surely bring in viewers.

If the adults struggled, how could the kids manage? He imagined the whole family lined up, sipping the northwest wind, and the image was beautiful.

Seeing the skyrocketing buzz, the director’s smile nearly reached his ears, and he even chuckled in his sleep.

That night, Dafu and Caicai huddled under their blankets, heads together, chattering away.

The next day was the weekend, and also the second filming day of the show.

Zhouzhou woke up early, excitedly packing her things.

Grandma Qin, worried her granddaughter might get hungry, had a table full of delicious food prepared, saying tenderly, “Eat more, Zhouzhou, so you’ll be hungry later.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou blinked and patted her round little belly, saying, “No way! My tummy is amazing. No matter how much I eat, I need five meals a day!”

Not a single meal missed!

The little girl proudly raised her double chin, making Qin Yan feel a chill in his heart.

For the first time in his career, he thought it might be nice not to be so dedicated. After all, the family had money. If he paid penalties for breach of contract, so what?

It was no big deal.

Xiao Lan’s eyes sparkled with amusement as she patted the little girl’s head. “Third Auntie won’t let Zhouzhou go hungry.”

Even if they starved, they wouldn’t let her starve.

Zhouzhou nodded repeatedly, holding her hand and saying, “I’ll make sure Third Auntie is full too.”

The little girl’s soft words warmed Xiao Lan’s heart even more.

Watching this, Qin Yan felt even colder, suddenly grateful that Zhouzhou didn’t eat meat.

Otherwise, his wife might just butcher him first to feed Zhouzhou.

He had already lost favor!

Qin Lie pulled out a chair and sat down, glanced at him, and, ignoring him, reached out to give Zhouzhou a piece of food.

At that moment, Ye Lingfeng and An Ya arrived. Upon hearing that Zhouzhou was going to participate in a reality show, Ye Lingfeng immediately said, “Which show? I’ll invest in it.”

Since his daughter was going to have fun, he wanted to ensure she had a great time and that no one would bully her.

Hearing this, Qin Ren, who had been silently eating, adjusted his glasses and smiled gently. However, his words were not as mild as his appearance suggested. “Little Uncle has already become the biggest investor.”

Darn, beaten to it again.

Ye Lingfeng shot a discreet glare at Qin Lie.

An Ya tugged on his sleeve, signaling him to tone it down. She then looked at Zhouzhou and said gently, “Have fun, Zhouzhou. How about Mommy accompanies you?”

After all, no one else could see her.

Zhouzhou shook her head, “No need, Mommy. You can stay home with sharp-tongue uncle. I can do it!”

Her understanding nature tugged at everyone’s heartstrings.

Grandma Qin reassured her, “Don’t worry, I’ve already asked A’Lie to talk to the production team. No matter what, Zhouzhou must be well-fed.”

Worried about attracting criticism? Just change the rules. Instead of showing how to live on ten yuan a day, they could show how to live with a million a day—wouldn’t that be just as entertaining?

The key was that her granddaughter must not suffer.

Since Grandma Qin had spoken, An Ya didn’t say anything more. With the Qin family involved, she felt reassured.

Soon after, the doorbell rang. It was Xiao Lan’s manager.

Zhouzhou had just finished her last bite of food and came downstairs with her bag.

Grandma Qin took the opportunity to stuff plenty of snacks into her bag—after all, Zhouzhou’s bag could hold a lot.

She whispered, “If you get hungry, ask your third uncle to distract the cameraman, and sneak a bite. Don’t starve yourself.”

“Mm-hmm!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, giving her a kiss on the cheek. “Don’t worry, Grandma. Daddy has already told me what to do.”

She proudly patted her bag, which made a clanging sound, as if something metallic was inside. Judging by the shape, it was the copper bowl given to her by Monk Jingkong when she left the mountain.

What her father had taught her, could it be about begging…?

With Grandma Qin’s worried gaze following them, Zhouzhou and Qin Er bounced off, holding hands, filled with excitement.

The manager shook his head at their enthusiasm, thinking they hadn’t yet faced the harsh realities of life.

So naive, too naive.

When they had to face hardships, they wouldn’t be laughing anymore.

While the adults were full of worry, the two kids were brimming with excitement, chatting animatedly in the backseat.

Zhouzhou secretly took out a POS machine to show Qin Er, who then revealed he had one just like it.

They exchanged glances and covered their mouths, giggling.

Qin Yan, yawning, noticed this and casually said, “You can’t use those; you’re not allowed to spend your own money.”

“Who said we’re here to spend money?” Dafu and Caicai looked over simultaneously, hands on their hips, and said in unison, “We’re here to make money!”
