After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 701

Chapter 701: Don’t You Dislike Her?
With Zhouzhou’s intervention, the entire street calmed down for the night. She couldn’t help but wonder, her little head shaking in puzzlement.

Qin Lie knew the reason behind it very well, chuckling as he gently stroked his daughter’s fortune pigtails. Only she could scare people like this.

Zhouzhou felt a bit down, appearing somewhat displeased. Ah, she was still hoping to catch a few more bad guys in exchange for money.

Making money was truly difficult. Yawning, Zhouzhou snuggled into Qin Lie’s arms, and with a small snore, she fell asleep instantly.

Qin Lie folded up the stall, carrying the banner with “Ye Fugui” written on it as he left.

When Ye Lingfeng saw Zhouzhou, she was already asleep again. He sighed regretfully, thinking of something, and looked at Qin Lie, saying, “I’ll pick up Zhouzhou from school tomorrow.”

He shifted the task’s time to midnight. It was too difficult to endure days without being able to exchange more than a few words with the little girl. This vacation was utterly meaningless.

Lu Ye nodded beside him. He would go too. Qin Lie didn’t say anything, simply nodding casually in agreement.

Zhouzhou didn’t care who came to pick her up; after all, she was a little scumbag and she loved everyone.

With so many battling for her affection, she had become accustomed to it. Indeed, being a scumbag was quite exhilarating.

The next day, Ye Lingfeng happily picked up the little girl as he wished. Seeing him, Zhouzhou was somewhat surprised and rushed over to hug his legs, saying, “Daddy!”

Ye Lingfeng patted her fortune pigtails. See, he had said Zhouzhou loved him more. Look at how brightly she smiled, much happier than when she saw Qin Lie.

Regarding this, Ye Lingfeng selectively pretended to be oblivious. “Let’s go, I’ll accompany you to set up the stall today,” Ye Lingfeng said with a beaming smile.

“Okay, okay!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, ecstatic.

Afraid of Ancestral Master coming to scold her again, she didn’t dare to delay and immediately headed towards the overpass.

Li Yuanming, on the other hand, wasn’t as happy. He climbed up the tree again, looking down at his fourth disciple with mournful faces, saying, “I only let Zhouzhou come down from the mountain for her own good.”

These rebellious disciples! Every time one returned, he would be scolded. Why was his life so bitter?

“Besides, don’t you dislike Zhouzhou? Shouldn’t you be happy that she’s not around?” he asked puzzledly.

Hearing this, Xie Ziyue stomped angrily, “Who said I don’t like her!”

“Zhouzhou,” Li Yuanming replied confidently. “You always bully Zhouzhou, pinch her cheeks, call her fat, and secretly hide her steamed buns under your blanket. Zhouzhou cries in the middle of the night from hunger. Is that what you call liking her?”

Xie Ziyue: “…”

He was waiting for his junior sister to come find him! It would be best if she stayed after eating, so he could hold the soft, squishy little junior sister like a pillow and take a nap.

Who could have expected that in the little girl’s eyes, it would be seen as not liking her? Xie Ziyue couldn’t help but feel a twinge of hurt in his eyes.

Unfortunately, Li Yuanming, lacking insight, inserted the knife without hesitation. “So, you should thank me properly and not hit me. When your senior brothers come back, you still have to protect me.”

“If it weren’t for me, Zhouzhou would still be here fighting with you over steamed buns.”

Who cared about those few steamed buns? They were not delicious at all, and only that little silly Zhouzhou loved them.

He gritted his teeth in frustration, glaring at Li Yuanming sinisterly. “Since you admit it was you who drove Zhouzhou away, then you can stay in the tree for the rest of your life!”

With that, he directly scattered a handful of thumbtacks under the tree. If Li Yuanming came down, he would ensure that the soles of his feet were pierced like a sieve!

Li Yuanming: “…”

What kind of disciples were these! Disobedient, disobedient, all unfilial!

Xie Ziyue walked away angrily.

Mingtong stretched lazily and walked over slowly. He didn’t know what Zhouzhou had been up to these days.

With so many people on the mountain recently, there were also more fortune-telling seekers, which exhausted his old bones.

He glanced up at Li Yuanming in the tree for a while, feeling somewhat envious. “Junior brother, you’re so lucky.”

Li Yuanming gave him a resentful look. “Since that’s the case, Senior brother, do you want to trade places and hang on the tree for a while?”

He suspected him of being sarcastic.

Mingtong thought for a moment, shook his head, and sighed. “Forget it, now I’m the only one doing fortune-telling in the temple. The pilgrims even specifically requested me. Oh, I’m so busy.”

“You’re useless and can’t help anyway. Better not tarnish the reputation of our temple.”

Li Yuanming: “…”

So, could he come and let him down first before leaving? He shouted a few times, but Mingtong seemed to have not heard, walking away without looking back.

Li Yuanming was beside himself with rage.

Intentional. It was definitely intentional!

Listening to his voice, Mingtong snorted.

Who could expect that his junior brother is incompetent in both fortune-telling and judging people? Fool.

Didn’t he see how charming his little disciple was? How could anyone dislike her? Ah, he lacked insight; it was better to hang on the tree than tarnish the reputation of their temple.

Li Yuanming felt like crying without tears. Who knew that this group of grown men would go to such lengths to compete for a little girl’s favor?

“Achoo!”

Zhouzhou suddenly sneezed.

Ye Lingfeng frowned, looking concerned. “Are you catching a cold?”

The weather had indeed started to get colder recently.

Zhouzhou shook her head. “Nope.” She proudly patted her chest. “I’m the number one troublemaker at Sanqing Temple. Master said as long as I’m mischievous enough, I won’t get sick.”

What twisted logic.

Ye Lingfeng’s mouth twitched, feeling speechless. However, Zhouzhou loved to run and jump, and her health was indeed better than that of ordinary children. Since he had known her, he had never seen her fall ill.

He didn’t pay it much mind. Zhouzhou quickly spread out her cloth and set up her flag, opening her mouth to advertise, “Fortune-telling and face-reading, feng shui analysis! Two yuan each time, no results, no payment!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the stall next to hers immediately formed a long line. Auntie Wang also lost interest in selling clothes and joined the queue.

Zhouzhou looked at them dumbfoundedly, bewildered. “Uncle, didn’t you already have your fortune told yesterday?”

The man chuckled, “I changed stalls as you suggested yesterday, and business indeed improved a lot. So today, I want to see which direction to set up my stall for wealth.”

Zhouzhou: “…”

People were more anxious than giving birth. Zhouzhou glanced backward and indeed saw many familiar faces. She shook her head. “Anyone who has had their fortune told within the past month won’t be counted.”

“Why?” Some people were puzzled and reluctant. They had become dependent on Zhouzhou now. Without getting their fortunes told every day, they felt less confident in doing business.

Zhouzhou explained, “It’s not good to do it too often. The more you calculate your fate, the thinner it becomes. So you shouldn’t rely on fortune-telling all the time. It’s not good for you. Not only will it not help you get rich, but it will also lead to financial losses.”

As soon as she finished speaking, there wasn’t a single person in front of her stall. When she turned her head, everyone had returned to their own stalls.

Zhouzhou: “… Was it necessary to be so quick?”

She sighed heavily, lowering her head to fiddle with her talismans. Before long, a pair of shoes appeared in her line of sight.

Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up. “Good sir, what would you like to have your fortune told about?”

But as she spoke, she saw who the person in front of her was, and Zhouzhou’s face suddenly froze…
