After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 478

Chapter 478: Do You Want the Dumb Pill?
“Brother!”

Seeing Wei Xuhong collapse on the ground, Zhouzhou dropped the basketball in her hand and rushed over with her chubby legs.

She placed her fat paw on his wrist to check his pulse, and her eyebrows immediately furrowed.

She lifted Wei Xuhong’s clothes and looked at the bruises on his stomach, suddenly inhaling sharply.

Qin Lie and the others followed behind, their faces darkening as they witnessed the scene.

Ye Lingfeng, seasoned in battles, could instantly discern how Wei Xuhong had been injured.

It was evident from the footprints—the bullies were children at Qin Xi’s age.

And the culprit behind the assault was already apparent.

Looking over at Qian Duoduo and his group, who had just fled, it was clear that they were the ones responsible.

To resort to such violence at such a young age was truly malicious.

“What’s wrong with him?” Qin Xi ran over and asked, “Should we call an ambulance?”

Zhouzhou shook her head, took out a pill from her bag, and placed it in his mouth, then reached out to lift him up.

Qin Lie stepped forward and picked up Wei Xuhong first, saying, “I’ll take care of him.”

“Okay.” Zhouzhou didn’t contest, “Dad, let’s hurry and take Brother home. I’ll give him acupuncture.”

“Mm.”

The group swiftly made their way back to the Qin family home.

Even though he had fainted, Wei Xuhong instinctively hunched over, his hand pressed against his abdomen, his face pale, displaying signs of distress.

Grandma Qin was startled. “Oh my, what’s wrong with this child?”

“He was beaten up by bad guys,” Zhouzhou succinctly replied, a hint of anger in her voice.

If she had known earlier, she would have dealt with the perpetrator even if it meant spending money!

Who was this assailant?

Grandma Qin was puzzled. Qin Xi, standing beside her, recounted the incident and urged Zhouzhou to hurry and help Wei Xuhong, unable to resist adding, “Wei Xuhong, still acting like a mute even after being beaten.”

Some of the injuries on his body were old, but he had never complained before.

Recalling his demeanor while picking up the money, Qin Xi felt annoyed. He despised such weakness.

Grandma Qin patted him on the back. “Don’t talk nonsense. He may have his reasons.”

Qin Xi couldn’t understand. Anyway, if someone dared to hit him, he would hit back twice as hard. A man had to maintain his dignity.

He sneered but didn’t say anything more.

In the room,

Zhouzhou instructed Qin Lie to lay Wei Xuhong down, and she sat cross-legged on the bed, taking out golden needles and inserting them into acupuncture points.

Soon, Wei Xuhong felt no pain. He slowly opened his eyes and looked at Zhouzhou.

After a few seconds, he regained his senses and was about to move when Zhouzhou reached out and stopped him.

“Brother, don’t move. You still have needles in your body.”

Hearing this, Wei Xuhong’s eyes widened suddenly, and as his gaze slowly lowered, he saw the golden needles on his body, freezing in place.

Sensing his distress, Zhouzhou hurriedly reassured him, patting his hand, “Don’t be afraid, there are no bad people here.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Xuhong’s complexion finally realized what was happening, and he relaxed slowly, looking around the exquisite room, feeling somewhat constrained.

However, Zhouzhou ignored him, taking out medicine from her bag and lifting his clothes, pouring the oil onto her chubby hand and applying it to his wounds.

Watching her familiar actions, Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng exchanged a glance, their lips twitching simultaneously.

No need to ask, surely the troublemaker from Sanqing Temple hadn’t been sparing with her care.

Either that or she had helped her senior brother before. Either way, she was never an easy one to deal with.

Unaware of their thoughts, Zhouzhou focused on applying the medicine, her gaze inadvertently falling on his arm, and her brows furrowed again.

Angered, she exclaimed, “Brother, why does that scoundrel keep hitting you? Don’t you apply medicine after getting hurt?”

If he had applied medicine, it wouldn’t look like this.

Thinking about it, Zhouzhou looked at Wei Xuhong strangely. Didn’t he feel any pain?

Qin Xi happened to walk in from outside and overheard her question. He couldn’t help but say, “Yeah, what about the money? Why didn’t you use it to buy medicine?”

Hearing this, Wei Xuhong lowered his head. Even lying in bed, Zhouzhou couldn’t see his expression clearly.

After a while, he whispered, “I… I saved it.”

After speaking, he bit his lip, his face flushing with embarrassment.

“What?” Qin Xi exploded upon hearing this, his voice suddenly raised, frowning, “What’s wrong with you? Is money more important than your life?”

Zhouzhou nodded in agreement, her head bobbing up and down. Without money, life would be miserable indeed.

Qin Xi was speechless. He covered Zhouzhou’s face with his hand, not allowing her to cause trouble.

Zhouzhou didn’t protest and pulled his hand down, revealing a pair of clear eyes.

Wei Xuhong raised his gaze slightly, meeting her eyes, feeling even more ashamed, and curling his toes awkwardly.

Wouldn’t she look down on him like this?

Unexpectedly, Zhouzhou held his hand and said, “Brother, although I think money is important, life is also important. If you lose your life, you won’t have money either. In the future, you should cherish your health.”

“Okay.” Wei Xuhong nodded slightly.

Qin Xi snorted, “Hmph, impossible. Next time Qian Duoduo beats him, he still won’t seek treatment. I’ve never seen anyone as obsessed with money as him.”

Zhouzhou didn’t like hearing this.

She stood with her little belly and chubby waist, staring with round eyes at Qin Xi. What did he mean? Was he looking down on her, Zhouzhou?

Seeing her like this, Qin Lie’s eyes flashed with a smile. He reached out and lifted the chubby girl, glancing at Wei Xuhong, who remained silent.

Seeing Qin Xi about to speak, he grabbed him and threw him out.

Qin Xi was still a little unhappy. Just as he was about to speak, he looked up and met his little uncle’s cold face, and all his words got stuck in his throat.

Um, it seemed he didn’t want to speak either.

Zhouzhou lay on Qin Lie’s shoulder, peeking at Wei Xuhong. “Brother, rest for a moment, I’ll come to remove the needles later.”

“Thank you.”

Wei Xuhong lifted his head and said softly, his voice light but sincere.

Zhouzhou waved her chubby paw and smiled at him.

As soon as they left, her little face fell, looking at Qin Xi seriously. “Fourth Brother, I have a mute pill here, do you want it?”

Qin Xi looked at her blankly, “Why would you give me a mute pill?”

Zhouzhou answered him honestly, “Because you speak too harshly, I’m afraid you’ll get beaten.”

Qin Xi’s mouth opened, realizing she was criticizing him for what he had just said about Wei Xuhong. For a moment, he felt indignant.

“As it should be. Qian Duoduo bullies him, yet he dares not speak up. He doesn’t even know to use the money he’s given to seek treatment. Isn’t that just plain stupid?”

“You are the one that’s stupid.” Ye Lingfeng glanced at him, snorted lightly, and tossed his phone to him. On it was the information he had just found about Wei Xuhong.

“Look for yourself.”

With that said, he sat down on the sofa, leisurely sipping his tea.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou quickly patted Qin Lie’s shoulder, signaling him to put her down.

Her little head quickly leaned over to look…
