After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 357

Chapter 357: The Old Lady Awakens
Unlike the adults who were tense, Zhouzhou remained composed. She checked the old lady’s pulse and then led Nini outside.

Seeing Nini’s worried face, Zhouzhou reassured her, “Don’t worry, Grandma will wake up in two hours.”

Huo Ji’an chimed in, “That’s right. Chubby Girl is amazing. She cured my anorexia. I couldn’t eat a bite before, but after taking her medicine, I woke up hungry in the middle of the night.”

Nini’s eyes flickered with hope. “Really?”

“Of course!” Huo Ji’an nodded emphatically.

Qin Er added, “Zhouzhou’s medicine is excellent. It sells for a hundred thousand outside.”

A hundred thousand!

Nini looked at Zhouzhou in surprise.

Zhouzhou proudly lifted her chin, hands on her hips. That’s right, she was Qin Caicai, a prodigious moneymaker. If it weren’t for her constant need for funds, she’d surely be the richest person.

Hearing their words, Nini felt slightly relieved, a faint smile finally appearing on her face. However, she remained anxious until her grandmother woke up.

After a tense two hours, a voice called out from the room, “She’s awake.”

At the sound, Nini rushed in without hesitation, Zhouzhou and the others following closely.

“Grandma?” The old lady looked around, her gaze landing on her granddaughter. She smiled and called her name.

Nini was stunned, then overjoyed. “Grandma, you can speak!”

Since her stroke, Grandma hadn’t been able to speak clearly and hadn’t called her name in a long time.

The old lady was equally surprised. Yes, she could speak!

Zhouzhou stepped forward, checked her pulse, and nodded in satisfaction. “Grandma, you need to take your medicine properly. You’ll be fine in half a month.”

Hearing this, the old lady finally looked at Zhouzhou. She remembered the little girl who had treated her during her sudden episode. Her eyes softened, and she said kindly, “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” Zhouzhou shook her little head. “Nini is my good friend. I should thank her for letting me stay.”

Nini, overwhelmed with emotion, could only cry silently.

Soon, the villagers arrived, curious about the commotion.

“What’s going on? I heard a little girl hurt the old lady?” A gruff voice demanded as a man stormed in, looking fierce. But when he saw the old lady, he paused and hurried over. “Are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” The old lady shook her head and, after a moment, said, “I feel much lighter.”

The man’s eyes widened in realization. “You can speak?”

“Yes, this little girl saved me.”

Hearing this, the villagers turned to Zhouzhou, astonished. How could such a small child know how to heal?

Yet the old lady’s clear speech was undeniable proof. Curiosity piqued, someone asked, “Little girl, can you take a look at me?”

“Sure.” Zhouzhou nodded and walked to the table, setting up a pillow as a makeshift examination spot. “Come on.”

Her demeanor was surprisingly professional. The villager sat down and extended his hand.

Zhouzhou felt his pulse and examined his tongue. “Grandpa, do you have trouble sleeping at night, often waking up and sweating?”

“Yes, yes.” The villager nodded repeatedly, amazed at her accuracy. “Can you treat it?”

“Of course.” Zhouzhou took out a porcelain bottle from her bag and dispensed three red pills. “Take one each day for three days, and you’ll sleep soundly, even through a thunderstorm.”

The villager laughed heartily, and the others, intrigued, crowded around, clamoring for Zhouzhou to check them too.

Zhouzhou waved her small hand, exuding an air of authority despite the humble setting. “No rush, one at a time!”

The villagers lined up, initially treating it as a game, but as she accurately diagnosed one after another, their skepticism turned to awe.

Meanwhile, the viewers were stunned, watching Zhouzhou’s live demonstration.

[I’m sorry, I apologize to my baby. I should have believed in you.]

[Age isn’t the problem. The problem is my narrow mind. I was still playing with mud at five and thought Baby Zhouzhou couldn’t possibly treat people. I was wrong.]

[Hahaha, see, our Zhouzhou is amazing! Stop doubting her.]

At the village entrance, Huo Mingxuan stepped out of his car, glancing at the comment section.

He then looked at his entourage, who quickly put away their phones, trying to hide their satisfaction. They had been furious earlier, but now they were vindicated.

Ignoring the pleasantries, Huo Mingxuan walked forward, his face stern. The director, noticing his arrival, hurried to greet him.

Before he could speak, Huo Mingxuan asked coldly, “Where is Huo Ji’an?”

“Huo Ji’an?” The director was momentarily confused.

The bodyguard coughed and clarified, “Ji’an.”

Oh, him.

Last time, Xi Yan had only mentioned bringing a child, not specifying their relationship. This time, Huo Ji’an had called Yu Ze ‘Dad’, which further muddled things for the director, who had no idea why Yu Ze’s son bore the surname Huo.

Facing Huo Mingxuan’s increasingly cold stare, the director quickly said, “Up ahead,” and led the way, pondering their relationship.

Meanwhile, Huo Ji’an was watching Zhouzhou with admiration, saying to Yu Ze, “Dad, chubby girl is just too amazing.”

He added, somewhat dejectedly, “I can’t do anything.”

He only knew how to break things, and Zhouzhou called him wasteful. Compared to her, he felt useless. Would his dad be disappointed in him?

As he was mulling over this, a large hand gently ruffled his hair. Looking up, he met Yu Ze’s kind eyes. “It’s okay. You’ll be amazing too, one day. You can learn slowly, no rush.”

Huo Ji’an beamed, his worries melting away.

The scene was heartwarming, the warm light casting a familial glow over them.

Huo Mingxuan arrived just in time to witness this, his presence radiating cold fury, causing the director to shiver. Sensing the gaze, Huo Ji’an turned and saw him, momentarily startled.

A few seconds later, he ran over on his short legs.

Seeing this, Huo Mingxuan’s expression softened slightly. He knew the boy would come to him in the end.

But unexpectedly, the door closed with a “slam.”

Huo Ji’an clapped his hands, and without hesitation, ran back inside.

Zhouzhou, hearing the noise, asked, “Little Skinny Pole, what’s wrong?”

Huo Ji’an shook his head calmly. “Nothing, just a false alarm.”
