After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 709

Chapter 709: Checking One’s Mind
Upon learning that Grandma Gong could still accompany them for a while longer, much of the sadness dissipated.

Zhouzhou was also delighted, anticipating the sweet taste of the cake soon to be savored, her eyes squinting with joy.

Grandma Qin chuckled at her, shaking her head helplessly, while Grandpa Qin indulgently watched his granddaughter. After a while, Grandma Qin spoke, “Then we’ll be on our way.”

“Not staying a bit longer?” Gong Sheng reluctantly glanced at them, saying, “We haven’t properly thanked you yet. How about I treat you to a meal?”

Before they could respond, Zhouzhou waved her hand, “No need, no need. I have to go to school.”

She had paid the tuition fee, after all. Skipping a class would be a waste of money, her father’s hard-earned money, to be exact.

Hearing the little girl’s earnest words, a smile flickered in Qin Lie’s eyes, and Ye Lingfeng, rubbing his chin, nodded approvingly at Zhouzhou. She was indeed doting on him; he was truly her beloved father.

“However,” Zhouzhou’s tone shifted, “you can treat me to dinner when I finish school in the evening!”

“No.” The Ancestral Master suddenly appeared, pinching her chubby earlobe. “Didn’t you say you’ll work after school?”

Zhouzhou nodded deferentially, “Ancestral Master, Ancestral Master, I’ll go straight to work after dinner!”

Glancing at the little pumpkin, the Ancestral Master, despite his lack of conscience, nodded, “Alright, but remember, don’t be too late.”

Upon his agreement, Zhouzhou instantly smiled happily, “Thank you, Ancestral Master!”

Seeing her suddenly talking to thin air, the Gong family looked puzzled, but the Qin family was already accustomed to it.

Qin Lie bent down to lift his little daughter, nodding at Gong Sheng before leaving. Zhouzhou waved at them, not forgetting to add, “Grandpa Gong, I like braised fish with chicken legs… prepare a little more, please. I can really eat a lot.”

As the sound of the little girl’s voice gradually faded away, still listing dishes, Gong Sheng couldn’t help but suppress a chuckle, and Grandma Gong smiled.

This little girl was truly endearing. Panpan was just as adorable when she was young. With that thought, she glanced at her daughter, her eyes full of tenderness.

As if sensing something, Gong Panpan looked back at her, a slightly shy smile on her face. The heavens had been kind to her, at least allowing her to meet true family; that was already quite good.

Meanwhile, Zhouzhou was quite content. After listing her dinner preferences, she enthusiastically began drawing cakes for the Ancestral Master.

“I didn’t expect that after only two days of setting up my stall, someone would come to ask for Master Fugui’s help,” she said.

“Soon enough, my name will be renowned, and everyone will come to Sanqing Temple to pay their respects.”

“Then, Ancestral Master, your golden body will soon recover, and I’ll change my fate from being poor to being wealthy!”

Surprisingly, the little girl’s words, though simple, led the Ancestral Master to indulge in this fantasy for a moment, his lips curling upwards.

Yes, everything Zhouzhou said was correct! That’s it! He had indeed made a wise choice by following Zhouzhou. Both the big and the small were very satisfied with each other.

Qin Lie drove, and they arrived at the school shortly. Due to the Gong family’s affairs, they were a little late.

Watching Principal Chang catching students who were late at the gate, Zhouzhou felt a bit scared and hid behind Qin Lie, looking up at him with pleading eyes.

Qin Lie comfortingly patted her small head and led her forward. At first, Principal Chang’s face was as long as a donkey’s, but when he saw Zhouzhou, a smile immediately lit up his face.

He bent down slightly and kindly said, “Caicai, you came. Did you oversleep this morning?”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou quickly shook her head, “No, no, I was helping out.”

“Grandma Gong left last night, and she wanted to see her daughter. I helped them find each other, they met, and then she left. I also helped them meet again, and got two pieces of cake as a reward!”

With the last sentence, Zhouzhou’s whole expression brightened.

However, Principal Chang was utterly confused by her words. What a mess! He couldn’t understand a single word.

Also, how could someone who passed away meet again? Before he could stop himself, he blurted out his confusion.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou earnestly said, “Of course, you can meet them with a Heavenly Eye Talisman.”

“Principal uncle, there’s a spirit on your shoulder now. Do you want to meet it?”

Principal Chang: “…”

This child, why is she cursing him? Hearing this, Principal Chang felt a sudden chill, subconsciously looking at his shoulder.

Recently, he had been feeling a bit uncomfortable, as if something was pressing on him. He even heard the sound of someone cracking sunflower seeds.

But he dismissed it as just a stiff neck or annoyance from his daughter, who loved eating sunflower seeds. He didn’t believe her words at all.

He wasn’t angry either, and casually said, “Alright, alright, no need. Hurry up and go in, it’s already late, and classes have started.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou immediately became anxious, nodding vigorously. She let go of Qin Lie’s hand and rushed in with her the golden ingots school bag on her back.

After running a few steps, she suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at the spirit on Principal Chang’s shoulder seriously, “Don’t throw sunflower seeds on Uncle Principal’s head again, or I’ll beat you!”

With that, the little girl waved her chubby little fist threateningly.

For some reason, the spirit instinctively shrank its neck, feeling a bit scared of the little girl in front of it, and quickly collected the sunflower seeds, looking quite timid.

Seeing her obedient, Zhouzhou turned and ran away, leaving Principal Chang standing there, bewildered.

After a while, he hesitated and looked at the grown ups from the Qin family, gently suggesting, “Uncle Qin, if you have time, maybe you should take Zhouzhou to the hospital for a check-up.”

He gestured towards his head.

The little girl was cute, but she seemed a bit dimwitted. How could she speak such nonsense in broad daylight?

This time, Grandma Qin was unhappy. She glared at Principal Chang, “If anyone needs a check-up, it should be you! My Zhouzhou is smart!”

“Right.” Grandpa Qin nodded firmly.

In Principal Chang’s eyes, they were just blindly favoring Zhouzhou. He could also see that the Qin family doted on her too much, and his words didn’t sound pleasant. But they were heartfelt words.

Seeing through his thoughts, Ye Lingfeng smirked, casually saying, “I think, Principal, you should hurry up and get yourself checked. After all, my daughter is now Master Ye–Ye Fugui!”

He emphasized the “Ye” character, then glanced triumphantly at Qin Lie.

Qin Lie: “…”

You should get your head checked too!

Childish!
