After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 53

Chapter 53: Earning Merit Points
If Little Peng was killed by someone, then it wouldn’t be as simple as fulfilling his wish to be able to reincarnate. He would also have to find the murderer to resolve this karmic entanglement. In this case, his amnesia is actually a good thing. Otherwise, as a murdered spirit, he would have the strongest resentment and easily turn into a vengeful ghost. Without his memories, he naturally wouldn’t harbor any grudges and wouldn’t become a vengeful ghost.

However, this wasn’t a long-term solution. To be safe, it was necessary to thoroughly resolve the matter. Zhouzhou understood this and had a plan in her mind. She asked, “So, are you willing to come with me?”

Little Peng was at a loss and asked, “Come with you?”

“Yes, Grandma Cui will leave soon, and so will the others. Grandpa Cui is still here, but you can’t stay here forever. It will affect him,” Zhouzhou explained.

Hesitant, Little Peng could see that Zhouzhou was a little afraid of him. But considering how Grandma Cui had always taken care of him, he couldn’t possibly repay her with harm. That wouldn’t do.

Summoning up his courage, he nodded.

Zhouzhou took out a Soul-Nurturing Talisman and said, “Then come inside.”

How to go in?

Looking at the thin piece of talisman paper, Little Peng was a bit confused. Before he could ask, he felt a force pulling his body, and when he opened his eyes again, he found himself inside a spacious coffin, colored in his favorite shade of pink. Unable to resist, he rolled around inside and soon felt drowsy. In the blink of an eye, he fell asleep.

Zhouzhou folded the talisman paper and put it away just as she heard some movement upstairs. It was time for the incense stick to burn out.

Not long after, Cui Rong and Grandma Cui came downstairs, their eyes slightly red.

Seeing the faint guiding light on Grandma Cui and the relieved expression on her face, Zhouzhou also felt relieved. It seemed that they had reached an understanding.

Cui Rong approached and said, “Little girl, thank you.”

“No problem,” Zhouzhou waved her hand and asked, “Grandpa, how did your conversation go?”

Cui Rong looked at the spot where she had been standing. He couldn’t see her anymore, but he could sense that she was still there.

In fact, this wasn’t the first time he had felt this way. He had always felt that she had never left, and today confirmed it.

He said, “I’ve already called my son. We’ll go to A Country in a few days.”

His son and daughter-in-law were currently working overseas. They had invited him several times, but he was reluctant to go and didn’t want to leave his spouse.

Earlier, his wife had told him that she couldn’t reincarnate because she couldn’t let go of him. They were bound to each other, so it was better to let go now.

Hearing this, Zhouzhou nodded in agreement, “That’s okay. If you have fate, Grandpa and Grandma will be able to see each other again in their next lives.”

“Hmm,” Cui Rong nodded, feeling a bit melancholic. “I will have someone send these paintings to A Country. Whenever I miss her, I’ll take them out and look at them.”

He couldn’t completely forget about her. He couldn’t do it.

“That’s fine,” Zhouzhou agreed.

Originally, Grandma Cui wanted to burn those paintings. It was just a way to force him to let go of her, but it was only a temporary solution. It wasn’t a fundamental solution. Now that Grandpa Cui had come to his own realization, it was for the best.

“Then I’ll send Grandma Cui off to reincarnate,” Zhouzhou said as she noticed Grandma Cui’s fading figure.

“Okay,” Cui Rong reluctantly agreed, still looking in the direction of Grandma Cui.

Grandma Cui also looked at him, waved her hand with a mix of reluctance and relief, and in an instant, her figure was completely enveloped by the guiding light and disappeared.

As if sensing something, Cui Rong suddenly felt empty in his heart, and his heart ached just like the day his spouse left.

This time, she had truly left.

Thinking of this, a tear couldn’t help but fall to the ground.

They had supported each other throughout their lives and had promised to go together, but she had left him behind.

Zhouzhou handed Cui Rong a spiritual talisman, looked up at him, and said, “Grandpa, don’t be too sad either. Passing away is another form of rebirth. You have a good appearance, and your child is filial. Enjoy your life with your descendants, and Grandma can leave peacefully too.”

She wobbled her bald head and spoke seriously, showing great insight.

Cui Rong was stunned for a moment and couldn’t help but think of his own grandson, who was about the same age as Zhouzhou. Every time the boy called him “grandpa,” it melted his heart.

Thinking of this, he finally let go completely and said, “Okay.”

His wife was right. Wherever his family was, that was where his home was.

Seeing that he had come to terms with it, Zhouzhou waved at him and said, “Then I’ll be on my way, Grandpa. Goodbye.”

Without waiting for him to respond, she slung Qin Bei, who was on the sofa, over her shoulder and ran off like a streak of smoke.

Grandma Qin had been waiting for them for quite a while and was about to go out to look for them when she saw Zhouzhou carrying Qin Bei and running back. She was somewhat surprised and quickly went up to take Qin Bei from her. “What happened?”

“It’s nothing. He got scared and fainted. He’ll be fine after a little rest.”

“Fainted? Where did you go?”

Zhouzhou couldn’t just say that she got scared by a ghost, but luckily Grandma Qin didn’t press for details. Holding her hand, she walked inside.

Coincidentally, Wen Yao came out, and Zhouzhou ran over and held her hand, asking, “Fourth Elder Aunt, can you make more food tomorrow morning?”

During this time, it had always been Wen Yao who cooked.

Upon hearing this, Wen Yao nodded, “Of course.”

She smiled and looked at Zhouzhou, “What would you like to eat?”

Zhouzhou shook her head, “Anything is fine. It’s not for me, it’s for Sixth Elder Brother.”

After being scared by the ghost on his stomach, he couldn’t feel hunger before, but now that the ghost was gone and his spiritual energy was recovering, he would start to feel hungry soon.

He hadn’t eaten for several days, so this time he needed to eat a lot.

“Just make what Sixth Elder Brother likes.”

“Alright then,” Wen Yao didn’t understand, but she didn’t ask further. She thought it was something Qin Bei had mentioned earlier, so she nodded in agreement, “Okay.”

“Not too much trouble, Fourth Elder Aunt.”

“Not at all,” Wen Yao looked at Zhouzhou’s adorable and soft appearance and couldn’t help but raise her hand to gently pinch her chubby cheek. “If you want to eat something, just tell me.”

“Okay!” Zhouzhou nodded, and her bald head lightly rubbed against Wen Yao’s hand.

Wen Yao couldn’t help but smile at her cute appearance.

Sure enough, the next morning when Qin Bei woke up, he was completely surrounded by hunger. Smelling the delicious aroma, he hurriedly ran downstairs, greeted everyone, and immediately started eating.

Wen Yao had only cooked half the meal when she turned around and saw that he had almost finished all the dishes she had prepared. Remembering that he hadn’t been eating properly for the past few days, she quickly added a few more dishes.

When Grandma Qin and the others came downstairs, there were already several empty plates on the table.

Qin Yan wrinkled her brows and scolded, “That’s impolite. You started eating before the elders arrived.”

Grandma Qin waved her hand, “It’s fine. Little Bei hasn’t been eating properly for a few days. As long as he’s eating, it’s fine.”

She had planned to take him to the hospital today, but she didn’t expect him to start eating today. He looked good and seemed to be in good spirits, so she put her worries aside and said, “You still need to eat properly from now on. Binge-eating is not good.”

Qin Bei had been stuffing his mouth with food and couldn’t speak. He nodded repeatedly.

Eldest Aunt Kang Huixian was also helping with the cooking. The two of them finally managed to prepare breakfast for everyone in the family.

Qin Bei ate a lot and finally filled his stomach. He leaned back in his chair and suddenly noticed Zhouzhou next to him. Remembering something, his eyes widened, and his hand pointed at her, trembling uncontrollably. “You, you…”

Can you see ghosts!

Remembering what happened yesterday, Qin Bei’s eyelids fluttered, and he fainted again. Fortunately, Qin Yan reacted quickly and supported him, preventing him from falling to the ground.

“What’s wrong with this kid?” Grandma Qin asked in confusion.

Zhouzhou continued eating, glanced up, chewed her food, and moved her cheeks up and down, just like a little hamster, soft and cute.

With just one look, she knew what was going on and said, “It’s nothing. He just needs a good rest.”

Sixth Elder Brother is really too timid.

While they were talking, the doorbell suddenly rang…
