After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 589

Chapter 589: Poaching? Thirty Thousand Per Shovel
While training Zhouzhou, Lu Ye deliberately varied his tactics each time, ensuring Zhouzhou could not discern any patterns.

This prevented her from only being able to fight those she was familiar with. She would encounter many strangers in the future.

Thus, her main lesson was to learn how to find her opponent’s weaknesses during their first encounter.

This time, Zhouzhou successfully applied this lesson against Xi Mo. Xi Mo genuinely felt Zhouzhou’s progress and raised his eyebrows in surprise, becoming more focused.

The commander, watching from the side, nodded repeatedly. No wonder Zhao Xinghua was so eager to keep this little girl; such a rare talent appeared once in a century.

Unaware of his gaze, Zhouzhou devoted herself entirely to her sparring with Xi Mo.

After more than half an hour, Xi Mo firmly restrained Zhouzhou, immobilizing her, and then stopped.

Zhouzhou’s eyes sparkled even more brightly, and she exclaimed excitedly, “Uncle, you are amazing!”

Xi Mo chuckled and tapped her forehead, “Do you really enjoy fighting that much?”

“Yes, I do!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, “Fighting is so much fun.”

Xi Mo remained silent, noticing her little chubby arms covered in bruises, undoubtedly from her frequent fights. Such a sweet and adorable girl, yet she had such a violent streak.

Zhouzhou didn’t mind at all. If she could choose, she would have preferred to be muscular and three meters tall.

That would make fighting even more enjoyable. Thinking of this, she looked down at her short legs, sighed heavily, and patted them with her chubby paws, saying hopefully, “Grow well, I’m counting on you.”

Commander couldn’t help but laugh at this. He approached with a broad smile, saying, “Zhouzhou, I brought you many gifts. Would you like to see them?”

“Gifts!” Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, and she immediately nodded, “Yes, yes! Thank you, Uncle!”

Seeing the little girl accept his approach so readily, Commander’s smile widened, and he waved his hand repeatedly, “No need to thank me, we’re family.”

“Yes, family!” Zhouzhou agreed enthusiastically. She and her money were always a loving family! She loved money, and money loved her; one day, they would live happily together.

Thinking of this, Zhouzhou’s face lit up with dimples, making her look both sweet and easy to trick, like a little girl who could be lured away with a lollipop.

“Uncle, let’s go quickly,” Zhouzhou eagerly took his large hand and pulled him forward, hopping along. Commander, even happier, thought he might succeed in poaching her.

Xi Mo, however, felt differently. He glanced at Zhouzhou’s chubby figure, sensing she had her own plans.

After all, it was the commander who made the first move. His niece was the most innocent and kind-hearted.

Following them calmly, Xi Mo was curious about Zhouzhou’s intentions and what the thirty thousand referred to.

Soon, Commander led Zhouzhou to a temporary room filled with various toys and snacks.

With a grand gesture, he said, “Play with anything you like and take whatever you want. Just tell Uncle, and I’ll buy it for you.”

Zhouzhou’s eyes sparkled with delight, “Wow, are these all for me?”

“Of course.”

“Can I take them?”

“No problem!”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou beamed, “Thank you, Uncle, I really like you!”

She then ran happily towards the toys. Now she had merchandise for her stall, saving her the trouble of restocking.

Brother Dafu had said toys were expensive now, and with so many, she could make a lot of money.

She always knew she would become a little rich lady someday, and now it was happening.

Zhouzhou was thrilled, as if seeing a pile of money. She then looked at the snacks, each one looking delicious.

She opened a bag of chips and sat on the floor, munching happily. Watching this, Commander’s smile grew even wider.

He approached, looking like a wolf trying to lure Little Red Riding Hood, “Zhouzhou, would you like more snacks and toys?”

“Yes!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously. Toys could be sold, and snacks could be eaten; she loved both.

Unaware of her thoughts, the commander continued, “Then, would you like to come to Uncle’s house? There are many more toys and delicious food. Uncle will treat you well.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou’s ears perked up. Here it was, the classic thirty thousand line. She turned her eyes and smiled innocently, “But Daddy said I shouldn’t go with strangers.”

“Uncle isn’t a stranger. We know each other now, and your uncle is here too.”

Zhouzhou tilted her head, seeming convinced but still hesitant. Seeing her wavering, the commander pressed on, “You like fighting, right? Uncle has many strong fighters under him. If you come with me, you’ll have a great time.”

“Besides, Uncle is very rich. Gold and silver mountains, you name it, Uncle will conquer it for you.”

His words sounded like those of a bandit. Xi Mo’s mouth twitched, finding it hard to watch. Seeing Zhouzhou still not agreeing, the commander opened a bag of chocolates and sat cross-legged beside her, “So, what do you say?”

Zhouzhou didn’t respond, eating the chocolates and continuing with other snacks, neither agreeing nor refusing, as if only the snacks mattered.

Commander was puzzled, sensing something was off but couldn’t pinpoint it, so he kept baiting.

As he spoke, Zhouzhou listened attentively, her round eyes focused on him, her chubby paws grabbing snacks one after another.

When he grew thirsty from talking, Zhouzhou handed him water, her soft demeanor melting his heart. He wished she were his granddaughter.

After more than an hour, Zhouzhou had a pile of empty bags around her. She patted her little belly and finally stopped.

She got up, packed the remaining items into her bag. Commander, surprised by how much her bag could hold, helped her pack.

Once everything was packed, he drank some water and asked eagerly, “Zhouzhou, have you decided? Will you come with Uncle?”

“I’ve decided.” Zhouzhou nodded, smiling sweetly with chip crumbs on her face. She patted her belly and said, “No!”
