After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 348

Chapter 348: The Mischievous Daddy Huo
Observing her peculiar expression, Zhouzhou blinked and turned to look at the “mom” she had carved, quite a resemblance indeed!

“Mom, don’t you like it? I think it looks just like you,” Zhouzhou remarked.

At Zhouzhou’s words, a wry smile tugged at the corner of An Ya’s mouth. She certainly didn’t possess such a potent charm!

Swiftly gathering up the wooden carving, An Ya hastily shifted the conversation, “Zhouzhou, I think a cake would be more suitable. It’s both edible and fitting for the occasion.”

Continuing down this path would certainly affect the mother-daughter relationship today.

Looking up with her small face, Zhouzhou’s round eyes gazed at her. Suddenly realizing something, her eyes lit up. With a bound, she pounced into An Ya’s arms, her little head burrowing against her.

Thrown off balance by her chubby daughter’s sudden move, An Ya found herself seated on the ground.

She reached out to embrace Zhouzhou, about to speak when she heard her daughter say, “I know, Mom wants to make a gift for Sharp Tongue Uncle together with me, right? Mom and Sharp Tongue Uncle have such a good relationship, so let’s stick to making a cake.”

With that, she tilted her small face up, beaming a radiant smile at An Ya, her eyes filled with indulgence.

An Ya was momentarily unsure of how to react, so she simply held her daughter tightly, feeling both moved and relieved.

Well, as long as she didn’t mention that ugly statue resembling her, she had narrowly escaped a disaster.

Let’s just continue making the cake.

The two of them, a pair of troublemakers, should have no trouble handling a cake, right?

Little did she know, the embarrassment was yet to come.

Bright and early the next day, Zhouzhou leaped out of bed, quickly dressed, and began packing her suitcase. Time to make some money!

An Ya watched her with a smile, noticing the messy clothes in her suitcase, she reached out to tidy them up.

Zhouzhou, upon seeing this, felt a strange sensation wash over her. She remembered seeing her third aunt do the same for her older brothers before, but it hadn’t meant much to her then. Now, witnessing this scene, she felt oddly touched.

Slightly sour, yet also filled with happiness.

She blinked and ran over to hug An Ya, affectionately cooing, “Mom, you’re so kind, I really like you.”

Receiving a confession from her little daughter so early in the morning, An Ya’s mood soared. Leaning in close to her ear, she whispered, “If you ever feel hungry, just tell Mom. I’ve already arranged with Grandma to sneak some food for you.”

She was quite the schemer!

At her words, Zhouzhou’s eyes sparkled, vigorously nodding her head, “Okay, okay!”

She patted her daughter’s head, and the two of them walked hand in hand out the door.

By now, Qin Er had already awakened, seated on the sofa, checking his checks and POS machine. Last time, he had made quite a bit of money, so he had to step up his game this time.

“Brother Dafu!” Zhouzhou bounced over to him, rubbing her hands together eagerly, “How are we going to make money this time?”

She was beyond impatient now!

Qin Er packed up his things, saying, “We’ll see when we get there.”

Every place they went was different, with different tasks. He wasn’t sure how they’d make money, but he wasn’t worried about it either.

Confidently patting his chest, he declared, “A skilled artisan fears no task in the world!”

Indeed!

Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, admiringly gazing at him. Big Brother knew so much!

Qin Yan descended the stairs, looking at the two youngsters. Smiling, he approached them, “Little Er, Zhouzhou, we’re counting on you this time!”

To provide for them.

He said it so casually, with no sense of being an elder.

Grandma Qin watched with annoyance, kicking him unceremoniously, “Go and take care of Zhouzhou properly. You should also do some work instead of constantly exploiting these two children.”

Honestly, how shameless.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yan awkwardly touched his nose. Well, it’s not like he had any skills! He was just coasting on his looks; he didn’t have any real skills.

Zhouzhou and Qin Er didn’t mind, after all, if he knew how to make money, why would they get a chance?

They wouldn’t mind if everyone was incompetent. That way, they could earn even more money.

Qin Er said, “Grandma, rest assured, I’ve learned over a dozen dishes now. I’ll take care of everyone.”

He took care of their stomachs, and they took care of his wallet. No problem.

He wasn’t afraid of hard work.

Zhouzhou also nodded repeatedly, thinking about what she could do. Her eyes lit up, proudly raising her chubby paw and said, “I can make cakes!”

An Ya covered her face. Oh dear daughter, you haven’t even learned yet! Your skills would only result in loss if put to use!

Unfortunately, Zhouzhou was completely oblivious and still looked delighted.

Grandma Qin, unaware of the situation, even praised her, “My Zhouzhou is really amazing!”

“Mm!” Zhouzhou nodded in agreement, “Grandma, when I earn money, I’ll buy you delicious food!”

“Okay, okay.” Grandma Qin was overjoyed, kissing her granddaughter. “Let’s go, let’s eat first.”

“Mm!” Zhouzhou took her hand, ran to the dining table, and promptly climbed onto it, grabbing a bowl and starting to eat!

Grandma Qin smiled as she watched her, then turned to Qin Yan and asked, “Have you decided where to go this time?”

Xiao Lan nodded and mentioned a place, “Xiya Village.”

Grandma Qin frowned, “Why haven’t I heard of it?”

“It’s not in Jing City, it’s quite remote, and it’s been listed as a national poverty village.”

“Why choose such a place?” Previously, they had at least been in a town where they didn’t have to worry about food and drink.

“I don’t know,” Xiao Lan shook her head, glancing at Qin Er and Zhouzhou. This time they were going to a very poor place, and she was afraid that it would be difficult to sell things there.

Although the two children could earn money for the guests, they only received checks, which couldn’t be cashed on the spot.

She was really worried that Zhouzhou might not have enough to eat this time.

Qin Lie was the biggest investor in the program, so he knew more about it. He slowly spoke up, “This was the idea of another investor.”

“Huh?” Qin Yan was surprised, “How come there’s another investor?”

Qin Lie nodded and glanced at Zhouzhou.

Sensing his gaze, Zhouzhou lifted her head from the bowl for a second, her cheeks puffed out. Blinking her eyes, she looked at him and asked after swallowing, “Dad, do I know this person?”

How could she know? Her social circle was just a group of little kids from kindergarten.

Qin Yan didn’t believe it.

But Qin Lie actually nodded.

This surprised them all. “Who is it?”

Anyone who had a say on the show must have invested a lot of money.

Qin Lie opened his mouth and said a name.

At his words, Zhouzhou’s small face immediately frowned. She pinched her chubby paw and calculated for a moment, then sighed deeply, shaking her head with an old-fashioned air, “What a pity.”

Indeed!

At the Huo family.

Huo Mingxuan sat at the dining table, eating breakfast with a straight face, and asked lightly, “Is everything arranged?”

The bodyguard nodded, “Yes, this time the program group is going to a poverty-stricken village, where there isn’t even a market. It’s especially poor. But since the young master is going, will he go hungry?”

Upon hearing this, Huo Mingxuan snorted coldly, “Since he doesn’t want me as his father, what does it matter to me if he goes hungry? I want to see how much he can achieve with his random dad found on street.”

The bodyguard opened his mouth, but closed it in the end, unable to help sighing in his heart.

The look in his eyes was somewhat helpless.

His Master was now like a wicked mother who, after watching his son run away with someone else and cut off his son’s financial resources out of anger.
