After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 277

Chapter 277: Making Money!
Just fifteen yuan, and they could maybe save a few more cents. Compared to saving money, Qin Lie preferred making money. So that evening, Qin Lie took Zhouzhou to the study to teach her how to make money.

Unfortunately, the little girl remembered that she had to make money but lacked experience. She couldn’t distinguish between the fish, releasing all the ones that could be sold and leaving behind a bunch of flashy vase fish.

Luckily, with Qin Er as the stall owner, they managed to earn their day’s meal money. Of course, the most important big money was still to come. Zhouzhou touched the autographed photo in her bag, smiling so much that her mouth almost reached her ears. She was going to be rich!

Seeing her like this, Xi Yan knew what she was thinking. Unable to resist, he smirked and pinched her chubby cheek. “You really love money, huh?” It seemed like he would have to write a few more songs in the future, earning more money to bring back for his little niece. Holding the little package in her arms, Zhouzhou nodded vigorously. Money was her favorite thing.

Amused by her adorable demeanor, the others chuckled along. The atmosphere was harmonious until a sharp voice broke the peace. Lian Tianyi, not paying attention to their conversation, spotted the fat fish Zhouzhou was holding and immediately exclaimed, “I want fish!”

Earlier, Wu Xiaowen had bought him a chicken drumstick, but that was not enough. He wanted fish!

Hearing the voice, Zhouzhou turned to look, seeing him staring at the fish in her hand. She quickly hid it behind her. This was the fish she had caught for Third Auntie.

Seeing this, Lian Tianyi immediately threw a tantrum, unreasonably demanding, “I want fish! Mom, give me that fish!”

Wu Xiaowen frowned slightly, glanced apologetically at Zhouzhou, then turned to Lian Tianyi, her tone stern. “Yiyi, stop making a fuss. That’s someone else’s fish, you can’t have it. Mommy will make fish for you when we get home, okay?”

“No!” Lian Tianyi didn’t listen at all, throwing himself onto the ground. He kicked his feet and unintentionally kicked Wu Xiaowen’s leg.

He didn’t care, loudly insisting, “I want to eat it today!”

People around them started to look over. Despite her good temper, Wu Xiaowen’s expression turned a bit unpleasant. Her voice became stern. “Get up.”

However, Lian Tianyi was not afraid of her at all, raising his voice even louder.

“No!” With that, he deliberately kicked her again, this time clearly on purpose. Despite being a child, he was quite strong. Wu Xiaowen let out a sharp intake of breath, clearly in pain.

Lian Pei walked over, picked up Lian Tianyi, and glanced at Wu Xiaowen with a hint of blame.

“Why are you so harsh on the child? Why don’t you have any patience?” Then, he comforted Lian Tianyi, who immediately smiled and praised him. Father and son soon left, leaving Wu Xiaowen standing alone. The people around looked at her strangely, making her feel embarrassed. She glanced at Zhouzhou, nodded slightly, and quickly left.

Watching them, Zhouzhou’s eyebrows furrowed slightly. Xi Yan couldn’t help but say, “What a bratty kid, needs some discipline.” Zhouzhou nodded in agreement. “He’s also dumb, how can he be so happy eating imaginary pancakes?”

“Imaginary pancakes?” Xi Yan was puzzled, raising an eyebrow. Zhouzhou explained, “His dad said he could have fish and duck, whatever he wanted, but he couldn’t produce them. Isn’t that just a big promise? He’s really stupid, actually believing it.”

Unlike her, she wouldn’t fall for it! When the Patriarch made promises to her, she always had to see the benefits before she believed!

Unlike this fool who believed some words so easily and even hit his mom. Thinking of what happened earlier, Zhouzhou’s brow furrowed again.

Hearing her words, several adults exchanged glances, unable to help but feel amused. Such a simple principle, even children could see it, yet some adults didn’t think there was anything wrong. Shaking their heads, they didn’t say much more.

With money in hand, today’s meal was no longer a problem. Qin Yan directly bought a bag of rice to take home. Seeing this, Lu Yanyu advised, “Brother Qin, we don’t need so much. We only need enough for two days. Having more is just a waste.” However, Qin Yan gave him a meaningful look. “You don’t understand.” With that, his gaze fell on Zhouzhou, that little belly of hers was like a bottomless pit!

Zhouzhou didn’t know that her uncle was silently complaining about her again, otherwise, she would have boasted even more. Not everyone could eat as much as she could! She liked vegetables, so Xiao Lan bought more vegetables and asked about everyone’s preferences. With a balanced mix of meat and vegetables, it looked much better than just bread from the last episode. However, the problem was, they didn’t know how to cook.

Back home, the group looked at each other, at a loss. Lu Yanyu said, “Neither Shiyi nor I know how to cook.” Qin Yan remained expressionless. “And you think we do?” If they did, they wouldn’t have just eaten bun. Remembering his cooking skills, Lu Yanyu and Ban Shiyi also felt a bit hesitant.

While the adults were talking, Qin Er had already tied on an apron. Zhouzhou, Huo Ji’an, and Lu Zhaozhao followed him eagerly, ready to assist. When Qin Yan and the others heard the sound of the oil frying, they all turned around to see Qin Er standing in the kitchen. They were surprised and quickly walked over, asking, “What are you doing, Little Er?”

“Call me Qin Dafu,” Qin Er reminded without turning his head, “I’m cooking.” Isn’t it obvious enough? Qin Yan’s confusion was evident.

“Can you cook?”

“Brother Dafu just learned!” A little head popped out from behind the stove as Zhouzhou spoke, skillfully adding firewood. The production crew provided them with a traditional house with primitive stoves that required firewood since there was no natural gas. Qin Er hadn’t studied this before, but fortunately, Zhouzhou was familiar with this kind of stove from her time in the mountains. Starting a fire was a piece of cake for her, and she soon got it going.

Lu Zhaozhao looked at her with bright eyes, full of admiration, while Huo Ji’an and Lu Zhaozhao handed her firewood from both sides. Zhouzhou sat on a small stool, as composed as a boss, calmly accepting the firewood. She looked at the shocked adults and said, “Brother Dafu specifically learned to cook when he came.” What an attentive person! The adults suddenly realized and felt a bit embarrassed.

The money was earned by him, and the meal was cooked by him, making them feel useless. Lu Yanyu and Ban Shiyi quickly walked over, offering to help. “Is there anything else we can do to help?”

“No, you guys go outside and wait for the meal,” Qin Er waved them off, skillfully putting the food in the pot and seasoning it. Lu Yanyu felt a bit disappointed but also embarrassed to take advantage of a child.

He said, “Then let’s consider this meal as bought by us. Just calculate the market price for us.” He remembered he only had fifteen yuan now, which he had already spent. He quickly added, “I’ll give you the money after the show ends, I promise.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou and Qin Er glanced at each other, their eyes full of excitement. The money was coming!

Qin Er was busy cooking and couldn’t free his hands, so Zhouzhou briskly ran up to him, took out the check and pen from his bag, and handed them to Lu Yanyu. “Write a check!”
