After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Two Weeks of Recovery
Qin Ze was filled with shock, but Wen Yao believed her words.

Grandma was never someone who made things up. Even if she was bragging as a granddaughter, she wouldn’t joke about something like this. If she said that Zhouzhou could do it, then she definitely could.

With this in mind, the heavy burden in her heart finally lifted.

She looked at Zhouzhou and said sincerely, “Zhouzhou, thank you.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou tilted her head and smiled at her, saying, “You’re welcome.”

Qin Lie glanced at the time and heard the sound of police cars below, so he said, “You all should go back first. I’ll take care of the rest.”

“That’s fine.” Grandma Qin nodded, grabbed Zhouzhou’s hand, and left. She didn’t want too many people to know about her abilities, as it was too unbelievable. Even their family would doubt what she said, let alone outsiders. If they started asking too many questions, how would it affect her granddaughter? It was better to leave.

As for how to convict Tao Lan, they had already found out all her details. They had no reason to believe that they wouldn’t find a way to convict her.

Zhouzhou looked back at Tao Lan and saw a noticeable darkness appearing at the corner of her eyes, a sign of impending disaster. She followed Grandma Qin and left, feeling relieved.

In just two days, news of Tao Lan’s imprisonment for embezzlement spread. At that time, Zhouzhou was giving Qin Feng acupuncture treatment. The Qin family didn’t pay much attention to Tao Lan anymore; after all, Qin Lie had already made arrangements. She wouldn’t have an easy time.

They were more concerned about Qin Feng’s condition.

“How is it? Do you feel anything?” Wen Yao nervously held Qin Feng’s hand and asked.

Sweat beads appeared on Qin Feng’s forehead as he said, “It’s a bit painful.”

This time, he didn’t bear the news alone because feeling pain was a good thing for them.

He held Wen Yao’s hand and cried and laughed, repeatedly saying, “Mom, it hurts.”

Seeing him crying with teary eyes, Zhouzhou quickly said, “Seventh Elder Brother, endure it a little longer. The reason you can’t stand up is because the evil qi has eroded your muscles and veins. Today, we’re going to clear your meridians, so it will be a bit painful. It won’t hurt anymore afterward.”

As she spoke, she took out a lollipop from her bag, which she had been reluctant to eat. She handed it to him and said, “Seventh Elder Brother, have some candy.”

She had been treating Qin Feng during this time, and Qin Feng knew how much she cherished this candy. He shook his head and said, “You can keep it.”

Wen Yao wiped away her tears and looked at the thoughtful girl, saying, “Zhouzhou, you eat it. Seventh Elder Brother doesn’t want it. We’re just very happy.”

“Happy?” Zhouzhou didn’t understand. Growing up in the mountains, whether it was in the temple or the Taoist temple, people’s thoughts were simple. Smiling meant happiness, crying meant sadness. Now, Seventh Elder Brother and Fourth Elder Aunt were both crying. How could it be considered happiness?

Wen Yao nodded and explained, “Little Feng’s legs have been numb all this time, and now he finally feels pain. Even if it’s painful, it’s a good sign. It means he’ll be able to stand up soon, so we’re all very happy.”

So that’s how it is.

Zhouzhou suddenly realized and understood. She smiled and said, “That’s true. After enduring today, Seventh Elder Brother will recover quickly.”

As they were talking, Zhouzhou noticed that Qin Feng was thinking about something else. She swiftly placed the final needle on him. This was the most crucial step to clear his meridians and also the most painful one.

If Zhouzhou hadn’t been prepared and held down his leg, Qin Feng would have struggled long ago.

“It’ll be over soon.” Zhouzhou comforted him and lightly flicked her fingertip. The needles on his body moved automatically, vibrating gently at the same frequency. The spiritual energy flowed into his body along her fingertips.

Seeing this scene, Qin Ze’s eyes widened in astonishment. He wanted to say something but swallowed his words upon seeing his son.

After a moment of intense pain, a wave of warmth followed, bringing comfort that immediately eased the previous pain.

Zhouzhou held the needle in one hand and held his pulse in the other, feeling the circulation of spiritual energy.

After the spiritual energy circulated throughout his body, eliminating the evil qi that had contaminated other parts, she finally removed the needle.

Zhouzhou said, “The evil qi in Seventh Elder Brother’s legs was the most severe, and I’ve already cleaned up the rest of his body. However, I can’t completely remove the one in his legs yet. It will take some time.”

Afraid that they would be anxious, Zhouzhou explained the situation to them first.

But for Wen Yao, as long as he could recover, it was already good news. She asked, “How long will it take, approximately?”

Zhouzhou raised two fingers.

Seeing this, Wen Yao breathed a sigh of relief. “Two years, that’s fine.” As long as he could be cured, two years wasn’t too long.

However, Zhouzhou looked at her strangely and said, “I said two weeks.”

Wen Yao was stunned for a moment.

What did she say? How long? Two what? Weeks?

Realizing what she meant, Wen Yao suddenly stood up, her voice rising sharply, “Two weeks?!”

“Yes.” Compared to Wen Yao’s shock, Zhouzhou remained calm. “Originally, one week would have been enough, but Seventh Elder Brother’s physical foundation is not good. He might not be able to handle strong medicine, so we have to use an extra week. It will take two weeks.”

As she spoke, she shook her head with some regret, unaware that this was a tremendous surprise for Wen Yao.

Not only could her son’s illness be cured, but it would also be in such a short time.

She was ecstatic and tightly held Zhouzhou’s hand, saying, “Zhouzhou, in the future, Fourth Elder Aunt will do anything to repay you!”

Looking at her, Zhouzhou grinned and said softly, “Fourth Elder Aunt doesn’t need to do anything extreme. If possible, just make me a meal.”

She was a little hungry.

Originally, she could have lasted another hour, but she used up her energy giving acupuncture to Qin Feng, so she was feeling hungry a bit earlier today.

“I need to eat six meals today.” She scratched her head with some embarrassment. It seemed that she really had a big appetite.

Wen Yao was taken aback for a moment.

Then she burst into laughter, looking at the girl’s appearance. Her heart felt incredibly tender, and she waved her hand, saying, “Eat, even if it’s ten or twenty meals, Fourth Elder Aunt will cook for you!”

Saying that, she glanced at her son, who seemed drowsy, and quickly went out to cook for Zhouzhou.

By the time Zhouzhou finished refining the medicine for Qin Feng, Wen Yao had already prepared several dishes.

Seeing Zhouzhou approaching, she turned her head and said, “You go ahead and eat, I’ll make a few more dishes.”

They were all vegetarian dishes, clearly tailored to Zhouzhou’s taste, and the portions were generous. Zhouzhou climbed onto a chair and took a deep sniff. It smelled so good.

Hearing this, she quickly said, “Fourth Elder Aunt doesn’t need to make more. I just need to eat more rice.”

“It’ll be ready soon.” Wen Yao didn’t listen and continued with her actions. Zhouzhou had helped them so much, so she wanted to make a few more dishes for her to enjoy.

Although they had a housekeeper at home, Wen Yao would often cook herself. Her cooking skills were quite good, and the dishes she made were delicious and fragrant. Zhouzhou ate while giving her a thumbs up. “So delicious!”

“As long as it tastes good.” Wen Yao brought the last dish over, sat next to her, and looked at her tenderly.

Before, she didn’t understand why her mother-in-law suddenly decided to adopt a little girl. Now, she was extremely grateful for her decision. If it weren’t for Zhouzhou, if she hadn’t intercepted the Buddhist bead that Tao Lan gave them, Little Feng would probably have passed away as Tao Lan had predicted.

Thinking of this, her heart trembled, and her gratitude towards Zhouzhou deepened. She said, “Zhouzhou, in the future, tell me what you want to eat, and I’ll make it for you.”

“Okay, okay!” Zhouzhou happily swung her short legs, overjoyed.

At that moment, Qin Ren walked in, and she immediately turned her head and met his gaze. The hairs on her body stood up all of a sudden, and she was so scared that she almost fell off the chair.

Why did the scientist brother’s gaze look even more bizarre!
