After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 462

Chapter 462: Qin Dafu’s Secret Weapon
Mu Xuan cleared his throat and then spoke, “Zhouzhou, I practiced several types of talisman during the day today, but none of them seemed usable. It seems I’ve hit a bottleneck.”

Such a serious matter.

Just as Zhouzhou was about to speak, Qin Ren chimed in, “I often encounter bottlenecks as well. During such times, I usually prefer to find a quiet place to think deeply by myself, as it’s easier to find solutions. Zhouzhou’s Eldest Senior Brother, you can give it a try.”

After speaking, he adjusted his glasses and nodded slightly towards Mu Xuan, very friendly.

Mu Xuan was taken aback. He had never encountered such a situation after descending from the mountain.

He never expected to hit a wall here.

Squinting his eyes, he met Qin Ren’s gaze, surprisingly devoid of any fear or compromise.

This was a case of hiding one’s strength.

Unfortunately, Zhouzhou was a bit naive and didn’t notice Mu Xuan’s subtlety at all.

After hearing his words, she nodded in agreement, “Yes, indeed, Eldest Senior Brother, you used to be very talented. How come you suddenly regressed these past few days? Are you becoming proud?”

The girl shook her head and earnestly advised, “Eldest Senior Brother, one must not be proud in life; one must be humble. Pride leads to regression, while humility leads to progress.”

“You can try my Big Brother’s method, take a moment to calm your mind. Only with a calm mind can you learn.”

Mu Xuan’s lips twitched, unable to speak, and could only give Qin Ren a deep look.

He shall remember this. The scholarly demeanor of the young man in front of him was not at all like what he displayed.

In response, Qin Ren calmly looked back.

Lu Qing couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

Their senior brothers had been vying for favor for many years, and Eldest Senior Brother had never suffered any losses. It was unexpected that he would lose face today. It was truly rare.

Zhouzhou’s family was quite interesting.

Upon hearing his laughter, Zhouzhou also turned her little head to look at him curiously and ran over to him, asking, “Fifth Senior Brother, why are you laughing?”

“I’m in a good mood.” Lu Qing lifted his hand and gently patted her head, smiling, “Study hard and strive to be the top student to win the scholarship. Keep it up.”

“Yeah!” Zhouzhou’s heart was stolen by the scholarship. She nodded vigorously and clenched her little fists, saying, “I will work hard!”

After speaking, she held his hand again and said, “Fifth Senior Brother, you go and read by yourself first. I’ll come to accompany you after I finish studying, okay?”

“Okay.” Lu Qing still smiled gently, looking warm and gentle, but Zhouzhou wouldn’t overlook him.

There was no other way. After all, who made her a square shooter and had to take care of everyone equally.

Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng sat on the side, one sipping tea with a calm demeanor, the other leaning back in the chair, smiling wildly.

With their little tricks, they were far behind.

No matter how they competed, Zhouzhou would ultimately follow him!

Grandma Qin couldn’t help but smile bitterly. These children were really something. They looked mature, but acted like three-year-old children.

Zhouzhou was more sensible than all of them.

The adults could see through their little tricks, even Qin Nan and Qin Bei could vaguely see something, but only Zhouzhou, the little fool, didn’t notice anything as a participant.

It was probably because they were so used to it that they weren’t so keen anymore.

After all, their senior brothers were all jealous.

Such trivial matters couldn’t stump her!

After comforting everyone, Zhouzhou held Qin Ren’s hand and ran upstairs.

Qin Nan and Qin Bei couldn’t help but look at him with admiration. Big brother was indeed amazing.

So scheming.

Who could say he wasn’t?

Qin Lie took a sip of tea, put down his cup, and glanced over Qin Ren’s room, tapping his fingertips.

His eldest nephew was really something.

Qin Yu and Kang Huixian coughed lightly, feeling embarrassed to look at Qin Lie’s expression. They really didn’t want to acknowledge their own son.

After studying for so many years, was it just to become good enough to compete for the opportunity to tutor Zhouzhou? Ridiculous!

Qin Ren didn’t think so much. Relying on the excuse of tutoring Zhouzhou, he could reasonably occupy Zhouzhou’s time for an extra half hour in the evening.

Time flew by and it was already the weekend.

Early in the morning, Zhouzhou quickly got out of bed and changed into new clothes.

Off to the feast!

She rushed outside like a gust of wind, not even drinking a sip of water, planning to wait until she arrived at the restaurant to eat.

The more water she drank, the more gift money she could bring back.

Hmm!

Qin Er also came out of his room at the right time. The two money lovers exchanged glances, a hint of determination flashing in their eyes.

Their only mission for today was to recoup their investment!

Qin Er was even more extreme. Since last night, he hadn’t eaten anything, wanting to empty his stomach completely, fearing that even a grain of rice would affect his performance today.

Grandma Qin also noticed them and waved to them, “Come down for breakfast.”

Zhouzhou shook her head, “Grandma, I’m not eating.”

Huh? The little foodie actually refused to eat?

Grandma Qin was surprised, then suddenly realized something, couldn’t help but want to laugh, shook her head helplessly.

These two money lovers were really incorrigible.

She sighed with amusement and annoyance, “Alright, then you can eat later.”

Zhouzhou smiled happily and ran downstairs, hugging Grandma Qin’s legs and acting coquettishly. Now Grandma Qin only felt happy.

Bending down, she pinched her chubby cheeks, intending to hug her, but as soon as she picked her up, she paused.

Zhouzhou’s legs curled up naturally. Seeing that her grandma didn’t make any further moves, she couldn’t help but tilt her head curiously and look at her, “Grandma?”

Grandma Qin cleared her throat, seeming calm, and put her down on the ground. She held her hand instead, “Let’s walk around a bit more. You can eat more later.”

Oh right!

Zhouzhou vigorously nodded, giving her a thumbs up, “Grandma is always right.”

She didn’t notice that Grandma Qin glanced around with guilty eyes.

It wasn’t because she was considerate; it was purely because she couldn’t lift her anymore.

Speaking of which, had Zhouzhou gained weight again?

Could it be that what the old man said was true, and she had grown to two hundred pounds?

Thinking of this, Grandma Qin felt terrible.

She looked at her granddaughter, wanting to say something but stopping herself.

Zhouzhou didn’t notice her worries at all. At the moment, she was being led by Qin Er to learn the secret of recouping investment.

“Firstly, don’t drink too much water, especially cold water, it fills up the stomach.”

“Secondly, eat less staple food, it’s not worth much.”

“Focus on eating meat, it’s expensive.”

That’s right!

Zhouzhou nodded vigorously. However, Grandma Qin’s eyelids twitched when she saw her chubby granddaughter.

She hurriedly said, “Actually, vegetables are no cheaper than meat. I’ve inquired about that restaurant. The vegetables are all specially imported by the Luo family from abroad, much more expensive than meat.”

As she spoke, she wiped the sweat from her forehead. It was enough for the meat to help her grow taller; she couldn’t let her gain weight anymore.

Zhouzhou had never heard that vegetables were more expensive than meat before and suddenly felt doubtful.

Qin Er nodded, “Indeed, some vegetables are more expensive than meat. Let’s eat together then; eating a little more won’t hurt.”

“Okay okay!” Zhouzhou nodded in enlightenment, noticing his bulging pockets and asked curiously, “Brother Dafu, what do you have in your pockets?”

At these words, Grandma Qin also looked over and saw a corner faintly peeking out of his pocket. Her forehead twitched. Why did she have a bad feeling?

At the mention of this, Qin Er raised his chin, put his hand in his pocket, and proudly took out his secret weapon…
