After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 281

Chapter 281: They Know Nothing About Zhouzhou
“Hurry, hurry!” Zhouzhou and Qin Er held hands and ran out, with Huo Ji’an and Lu Zhaozhao following behind. The kids were all excited, but the adults exchanged glances and then looked at the director.

They all felt that this old guy was up to no good. He couldn’t possibly be planning anything good.

Facing their gazes, the director sat confidently in his chair, urging, “Parents, please start moving quickly. Only the first person to pass each task can get the ingredients. If you’re late, there won’t be any left, and you’ll have to go hungry tomorrow.”

Qin Yan shot him a disdainful look and strode out.

The others followed suit.

As soon as they stepped outside, they ran into Yu Mian and Lian Pei’s family. Obviously, they had also received the notification and were planning to do the tasks.

Seeing them, Zhouzhou instantly became wary and ran even faster, saying as she ran, “Hurry, hurry, don’t let them snatch it away!”

In the eyes of a money-lover, snatching money was like murder! Absolutely not acceptable!

Qin Er nodded in agreement. Caicai ate too much, so they needed to earn more money tomorrow. This way, they would have more capital to make money.

Seeing this, Lian Pei sneered inwardly. With such a strong utilitarian mindset, they were truly mundane people, worthy of being Xi Yan’s niece.

He casually adjusted his sleeve, trying to conceal his disdain. Although he maintained a composed expression on the surface, his contempt was still evident in his eyes.

Xi Yan glanced at him, not bothering to hide his disgust. He crossed his arms and said sarcastically, “Since you’re so noble, why don’t you just not participate in the program? You take the money on one hand and then complain it’s dirty on the other. What’s that?”

Qin Yan chimed in, “Trying to have it both ways.”

After all, he was Zhouzhou’s uncle. Of course, he stood with Xi Yan. Moreover, he still remembered what Yu Mian had said about Zhouzhou earlier.

He didn’t have any interaction with him before, and he didn’t have any feelings towards him. But now, he felt nothing but disgust. Naturally, he didn’t need to give him any face and could just give him a piece of his mind.

Being so bluntly accused, Yu Mian’s composed facade cracked, “You guys!”

Xi Yan snorted lightly and reminded, “Cameras.”

Realizing this, Yu Mian immediately restored his original expression.

Pretentious.

Xi Yan rolled her eyes exaggeratedly, too lazy to deal with him, and walked away quickly.

Qin Yan glanced at Xiao Lan, both with disdain. Lu Yanyu and Ban Shiyi were just rookie idols. They didn’t dare to provoke someone of this superstar level, but they quickly followed their footsteps without hesitation.

Seeing this scene, Yu Mian’s expression turned even uglier, but he couldn’t do anything about it because of his public image.

Lian Pei and Wu Xiaowen watched from the side, feeling somewhat embarrassed. Wu Xiaowen glanced at Yu Mian’s wife, Meng Xuelin. She had a low presence, always keeping her head down, and Wu Xiaowen hadn’t noticed her before.

She was dressed in high fashion, but something felt off. She didn’t know what it was.

Sensing her gaze, Meng Xuelin quickly looked up at her and then lowered her head again.

Wu Xiaowen withdrew her gaze, perhaps because she was an amateur and not used to being in front of the camera.

She looked at Lian Pei and said, “Let’s go, if we don’t earn money, Yiyi won’t have any meat tomorrow.”

As soon as she said this, Lian Tianyi immediately started clamoring for meat.

Just now, Lian Pei fed him throughout the meal and barely ate anything himself. Now he had a headache from the child’s fussing, and in just a short while, he looked much worse for wear. Afraid that he would continue to fuss, she quickly pulled them along to the task location.

Now, only Yu Mian was left standing in place, with the camera focused on him. He dared not show any expression but felt even more resentment towards Xi Yan and them.

Humph, he wanted to see what tasks they could complete!

Meanwhile, Zhouzhou didn’t care what he was thinking and swiftly dragged Qin Er to the first task point.

The staff immediately handed them a task card. Zhouzhou glanced at it and without hesitation handed it to Qin Er. Qin Er took it and read aloud, “The requirement is to pass through three obstacles. The first to reach the finish line will receive a basket of eggs.”

In front of them were divided into four zones. The first one had a balance beam, requiring them to walk across it. If they fell, they had to start over. The second was to climb over the “small mountain,” similar to rock climbing. The final challenge was to carry a ping pong ball to the finish line. Once again, if they dropped it, they had to start over.

After hearing the rules, Zhouzhou asked, “Can one person do them all?”

This was too childish; she hadn’t played this since she was two. How naive.

The staff shook their head and explained, “This is a parent-child game, and it needs to be completed together.”

This meant she had to wait for others to arrive before they could play. What a waste of time. She thought she could get the money first.

Zhouzhou pouted, feeling disappointed.

Qin Er comforted her, “It’s okay. We’ll definitely win.”

After all, they had a secret weapon!

Indeed.

Zhouzhou felt happy again and took out an apple from her bag. It was bought for her by Xiao Lan at the market earlier, just in case she got hungry.

With chubby little hands, she split the apple in half and generously handed one half to Qin Er. They sat together, holding the apple and waiting for everyone to arrive.

Because Xi Yan only brought Huo Ji’an, they were one person short, so Qin Er was borrowed over.

Of course, if they wanted Qin Dafu to do anything, giving money would do.

After understanding the rules, the next question was who would complete which task.

Compared to the others, rock climbing was the hardest, followed by the balance beam. The balance beam was very narrow, and one could easily fall off.

Although the third task was difficult, it was at least on the ground. The other families all unhesitatingly assigned their children to the last task.

Only Zhouzhou was led by Qin Yan to the second task, and then he himself shamelessly returned to the first task. Xiao Lan took the third task.

The little girl with a childish ponytail, looking not very bright, suddenly seemed to think of something. She smiled foolishly, forming a sharp contrast with the tall men next to her.

Seeing this, Lu Yanyu and the others were also dumbfounded.

Was she going to let Zhouzhou finish the second task?

Not only them, but the audience was also stunned.

[Qin Yan is shameless, letting Baby Zhouzhou attempt the hardest task??? Can her short legs climb up there?]

[This is so unreliable! What’s going on? Are his long legs just for show? He should donate them to those in need if he’s not using them!]

[It seems like the principle of men taking care of children is just keeping them alive.]

[Don’t overestimate Qin Yan, that dog. Where did he leave any room for Zhouzhou!]

[Oh, my fists are itching. Let go of Baby Zhouzhou, I’ll help her compete!]

The staff were also somewhat surprised. After confirming with Qin Yan several times and hinting subtly whether he should readjust the plan, but unexpectedly, Qin Yan waved his hand and said, “No need!”

Now, the staff had no choice but to sympathetically look at Zhouzhou. This child was so pitiful. How did she end up with such an uncle?

Faced with their covert accusations, Qin Yan didn’t even blush. On the contrary, he proudly straightened his chest. He could proudly say one thing: they knew nothing about Zhouzhou!
