After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 310

Chapter 310: Why Is My Fate So Bitter?
Two hours later, at the Qin family’s residence.

In Zhouzhou’s room, the Qin family gathered around the bed, anxiously watching the little girl lying there.

Zhouzhou’s chubby little paws were tightly wrapped in gauze, protecting them just in time. She only suffered a slight burn at the tip of her hair.

Zhouzhou stared blankly at the ceiling, limbs sprawled out, her little belly exposed, completely oblivious, looking utterly devastated.

“Can someone tell me what’s going on here!” Grandma Qin asked angrily, her eyes red with worry.

“You were supposed to save someone, weren’t you? How did you come back with my granddaughter looking like she’s lost her soul?”

Qin Lie rubbed his brow, unable to figure out what had happened. Remembering something, his gaze fell on Zhouzhou’s little bag on the side.

After a moment’s thought, he turned to Grandma Qin and said, “Mom, could you all step out for a moment?”

Grandma Qin naturally didn’t want to. “But Zhouzhou…”

“Zhouzhou has me here.” Seeing his insistence, Grandma Qin reluctantly led everyone out. In the room, only Qin Lie, Ye Lingfeng, Mu Xuan, and Yun You remained.

After they left, Qin Lie took out the Ancestral Master’s statue and said in a low voice, “Come out.”

Who was coming out?

Ye Lingfeng furrowed his brows and suddenly looked in a certain direction.

But he saw nothing at all.

What was going on?

The Ancestral Master yawned, lazily drifting out. “What do you want with me? I was discussing Daoist techniques with Zhong Kui in the painting just now and didn’t pay attention to what was happening outside.”

As he said this, he noticed a sharp gaze on him, turned his head to look, and met Ye Lingfeng’s eyes. He was certain that he couldn’t see him, but how did he know where he was?

What sharp perception.

He raised his hand and threw a Heavenly Eye talisman over. Ye Lingfeng felt something enter his eyes and instinctively blinked. When he opened them again, a figure had appeared in front of him.

In Daoist robes, playing with his beard, he looked like an eminent Daoist.

He was slightly surprised and squinted at the Ancestral Master, examining him.

An Ya also drifted out from her soul-charm, explained to Ye Lingfeng, and then hurriedly looked at the little girl on the bed with pity. “Ancestral Master, please see what’s wrong with Zhouzhou.”

“Right away.” The Ancestral Master’s gaze turned to Zhouzhou, who was lying blankly there, and he was startled, “What’s wrong with this little girl?”

He still wanted to ask.

Qin Lie patiently explained what had just happened and asked, “Ancestral Master, do you know what’s going on? Clearly, Zhouzhou wasn’t worshiped by Ye Lingfeng again this time, so why was she struck by lightning?”

The Ancestral Master calculated with his fingers, “Oh,” and exclaimed, “Zhouzhou has made an injustice fortune today?”

Injustice?

Thinking of something, Qin Lie’s brows furrowed tighter. He barely suppressed his anger, looked at Ye Lingfeng, and retold what had happened on the antique street.

Mu Xuanyun also mentioned what happened in the Gu Yun Pavilion.

At these words, the Ancestral Master clapped his hands, “That’s it!”

Finding the cause, he was no longer in a hurry. He leisurely floated in the air, saying, “The little girl was born with a shortage of money and conflicts with money. I’ve said before, the more money she has, the more likely she is to have bad luck, especially this kind of money.”

This money was not made in a legitimate way.

So it was normal to be struck by lightning.

Hearing this, Zhouzhou, who hadn’t reacted, trembled, cried out, kicked her fat legs, and said, “My lucky pigtails!”

Knowing how much she valued her lucky pigtails, An Ya was heartbroken and hurriedly comforted her, “It’s here, Zhouzhou, your lucky pigtails are still here, everything’s fine.”

“Really?” Zhouzhou hiccupped and raised her hand to touch it.

But her two paws were wrapped in gauze to protect the lucky pigtails, which had been struck by lightning and was now red, and she dared not move carelessly.

An Ya quickly brought a mirror over for her to look at. When she saw that she hadn’t turned into a small baldie, Zhouzhou instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of what the Ancestral Master had just said, she sat up straight away, quickly hiding her bag under her buttocks, crying and whimpering, “This is what I earned through my own efforts!”

“Oh, the ability to recognize counterfeits.”

Zhouzhou looked at him innocently, her face still tear-stained, occasionally choked, her nose red, and she looked pitiful.

But it was such a big deal, he still needed to talk to her about it.

The Ancestral Master’s expression turned solemn as he said earnestly, “Zhouzhou, you know your own fate. Being born with a lack of money inherently clashes with wealth. Legitimate earnings are one thing, but acquiring wealth through crooked ways will only lead to trouble.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou felt somewhat aggrieved. “They said it themselves, offering triple compensation for fakes.”

The Ancestral Master shook his head. “Let me ask you, did you already know those things were fake?”

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, vigorously nodding her little head, proud. “Yes! I was born with the ability to see the golden light! Master said I have a gift!”

It’s just a pity, with a bad fate, she ended up with a shortage of money. Otherwise, with her talents, she could have been a rich person.

“That’s it. You used Daoist methods to recognize that they were fake, yet you still deliberately bought them. Isn’t that deceiving yourself? If not you, then who?”

Everything has its pros and cons. With her exceptional talent, there are correspondingly higher expectations from the heavens.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou pouted with grievance. How could she just leave the money untouched? At the time, she only had money in her eyes, where could she care about so much?

“Now what?” Qin Lie asked in a low voice, his brows tightly furrowed.

“No worries, just donate the money to offset the trouble.”

At this, Zhouzhou’s heart sank, her mouth opening, slapping her chubby legs as she wailed, “Why is my fate so bitter?”

Ye Lingfeng also felt a pang of heartache. Oh no, he accidentally let the money-obsessed girl lose her wealth again. He felt like he was drifting further away from his little daughter.

Would he ever have the chance to hear her call him “dad” in this lifetime?

Seeing the little girl crying so miserably, An Ya couldn’t bear it and asked, “Ancestral Master, is there any other way?”

The Ancestral Master shook his head. “Everything has its cause and effect, and this effect must be balanced with its cause.”

It seems that this money is destined not to be kept.

Now, the money-obsessed girl was even more heartbroken. She quickly hugged her little bag, slipping under the covers, blocking herself tightly, unwilling to look at this cruel world.

Qin Lie also felt sorry, but he was more worried that she would suffer as a result. He reached out to take her bank card, but the chubby girl held onto it tightly. He tried for a long time, but she didn’t budge an inch.

“…”

Seeing the little girl crying so miserably, Ye Lingfeng also felt extremely uncomfortable. He turned to the Ancestral Master and asked, “Is there really no other way? Can’t we offset it in any other way?”

The Ancestral Master turned to look at him, his eyes lighting up when he saw the protective golden light on him. “Yes, there is!”

Instantly, Zhouzhou’s cries stopped, her little ears perked up, waiting for the solution.

An Ya and Qin Lie also turned their heads in unison to look.

The Ancestral Master stroked his beard with a smile and said, “If you’re willing to share your golden light with Zhouzhou, it can offset this disaster.”

His golden light could block all evil spirits and was blessed by the heavens.

This was acquired through great merits, a once-in-a-century opportunity.

Ye Lingfeng didn’t know what the golden light was, but when he heard that it could protect Zhouzhou’s money, he immediately wanted to agree.

However, a tender voice rang out, “No!”
