After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 833

Chapter 833: Birthday Party, Almost Awkward to Death
In the next moment, a mobile payment notification pinged through. Zhao Xinghua angrily tossed his phone aside, rolling his eyes and refusing to engage with the money-hungry father-daughter duo.

So infuriating! Absolutely infuriating!

And Ye Lingfeng had been led astray by Zhouzhou, now thinking about nothing but money all day long. But what could he do? His little daughter liked it.

Ye Lingfeng handed his phone to Zhouzhou to look at.

Zhouzhou’s chubby little fingers tapped on the screen, and seeing a long string of zeros, she beamed with joy.

“We’re rich! We’re rich!”

This year, she would definitely become a little wealthy girl!

With a silly grin on her face, Zhouzhou’s excitement left the Qin family members bewildered, unsure of what she was laughing about.

Ye Lingfeng ruffled her hair playfully.

Zhouzhou quickly snapped back to reality but couldn’t help the grin that lingered on her face.

She pulled out a few hundred-yuan bills from her bag and distributed one to each of them.

It was rare for the little glutton to share her money, which left them even more confused.

Qin Lie raised an eyebrow and asked, “Struck it rich?”

Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, her bright eyes fixed on him. “Dad understands me!”

Ye Lingfeng’s expression changed immediately.

This money was what he had fought to get back for her!

He glared at Qin Lie with jealousy written all over his face.

Meanwhile, Qin Lie seemed to be in a good mood, lifting Zhouzhou onto his lap, playfully tugging at her fluffy hair and saying, “Looks like this year is going to be a wealthy one.”

“Right, right!”

Zhouzhou nodded enthusiastically, her head bobbing like a little chick pecking at grain. She was overjoyed.

Her father was so good at sweet-talking!

In her excitement, she planted a kiss on his face.

At this point, Ye Lingfeng’s jealousy boiled over, and he stepped forward, gloomily saying, “You really like him, don’t you?”

“Did he help you earn money or demand money from you?”

As he spoke, he shot a sideways glance at Qin Lie.

Qin Lie returned the look, both refusing to meet each other’s gaze directly.

One displayed disdain while the other wore an expression of disgust.

Neither of them was acting like an adult.

Zhouzhou watched them, her eyes darting back and forth, and suddenly began tapping on her smartwatch.

As she pulled up the kindergarten principal’s number, Ye Lingfeng asked, puzzled, “Zhouzhou, why are you calling him?”

“To ask Grandpa Principal to reserve spots for both Dads! When the new year comes, I’ll send you both to kindergarten, and I’ll pay the tuition!”

The little chubby girl patted her chest, looking very generous.

Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng were momentarily dumbfounded.

Grandma Qin couldn’t hold back any longer and burst into laughter, “Hahaha–”

The rest of the Qin family joined in the laughter.

Qin Lie’s lips twitched as he quickly stopped Zhouzhou from dialing, knowing he couldn’t afford to lose face.

It was fine when he joked around himself, but if others found out, what would he do?

Ye Lingfeng clearly had the same thought.

Terrified of being sent to kindergarten, he suddenly became more docile, not daring to speak out.

Seeing them like this only made Grandma Qin laugh harder.

These two needed Zhouzhou to keep them in line!

As the living room quieted down, it was only when Qin Ren took Zhouzhou outside to play that the expressions on Qin Lie and Ye Lingfeng finally relaxed.

Qin Yan slinked over, teasingly suggesting, “School’s about to start; you should get yourselves some little backpacks.”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than two sharp glares shot his way.

Qin Lie snapped, “Are you trying to get blacklisted?”

Ye Lingfeng added, “Are you tired of living?”

Qin Yan was left speechless.

Why hadn’t they threatened Zhouzhou with this earlier?

He could only bully him!

Crying, he ran back to seek comfort from his wife, hoping for a loving embrace.

But Xiao Lan pushed him away, looking utterly disgusted.

She wasn’t that foolish to keep such a husband.

Thinking back, Qin Bei was so silly; he must have inherited it from him.

For their son’s future, should she consider changing their dad?

Fortunately, Qin Yan was oblivious to her thoughts, or he’d have cried for sure.

Indeed, he had the hardest life in the Qin family.

The others watched him with amused smiles, shaking their heads.

So now, the kindergarten had gained another student.

Zhouzhou had easily subdued both childish Dads, while she happily played in the snow outside.

Qin Ren asked, “Zhouzhou, what do you want for your birthday?”

“Cake!” Zhouzhou replied without hesitation, her mouth watering at the thought of the sweet treat.

Qin Ren chuckled, “What else? The cake has already been prepared for you.”

“Anything else?”

Zhouzhou tilted her head, deep in thought.

The other six little ones stretched their necks, waiting to hear what she would say, also pondering what to gift her.

After a moment, Zhouzhou exclaimed, “Gold!”

The Qin family’s children were left speechless.

Only Zhouzhou would be so unimaginative.

Food and money–those were her lifelines.

“How about I invite your master down from the mountain to see you? Consider it a gift from me.”

As he spoke, everyone’s eyes turned toward him, even Qin Feng’s eyes holding a hint of disdain.

He wasn’t willing to spend a single penny, just wanting to run an errand.

Zhouzhou didn’t mind and nodded eagerly, “That sounds great! Thank you, Brother Dafu!”

Could it really work?

Looking at her expectant smile, the others couldn’t help but stop smiling.

Qin Er patted Zhouzhou’s little head and scanned the others.

Ah, he and Caicai shared a bond; how could these money-less individuals understand?

It dawned on Qin Ren as well.

Actually, Zhouzhou didn’t have many specific likes for gifts; she preferred things simple and straightforward.

Perhaps for her, no amount of thoughtfulness could compare to receiving a gold ingot.

Such a simple-minded little girl.

He chuckled at her and shook his head helplessly.

Looks like they’d need to rethink the gift preparation.

Qin Bei touched the red envelope in his pocket, reluctant to part with it, and leaned over to say to Zhouzhou, “How about I buy you a bag of goodies?”

“Sure, sure!” Zhouzhou nodded vigorously, her excitement evident.

She was so easy to please, looking like she would be happy with whatever they offered.

At this point, the others also found direction.

Food and gold–these two would definitely secure Zhouzhou’s heart and ensure they wouldn’t go wrong with their gifts.

Grandma Qin thought similarly.

Her little granddaughter was still young; there was no need to go overboard–just make her happy.

As for the guests, she didn’t plan to invite too many, just Zhouzhou’s master and senior brothers would be enough.

Ye Lingfeng thought for a moment and sent a message as well.

On the sixth day of the New Year, when Zhouzhou woke up, she found a group of people seated in the living room downstairs.

She blinked, trotting down the stairs and asking curiously, “Uncle, Stinky Little Brother, Sister Marvelous, Skinny Monkey Uncle… why are you all here?”

The Fourth Bureau and military personnel filled the room, even those she had sparred with just once, whose names she didn’t even know, had come.

Remembering that today was her birthday, Zhouzhou excitedly exclaimed, “Are you all here to fight fight with me?”

With so many people together, it would definitely be a blast!

Everyone was taken aback, thinking this little girl was quite violent.

Just then, a burst of music filled the air, and the door swung open.

Zhouzhou turned to see Xi Yan leaning against the door in a flashy outfit, his face made up, holding a guitar, and singing sweetly to her, “Happy Birthday to you…”

After finishing, he smugly adjusted his carefully styled hair and asked, “How did Uncle Xi sing?”

Zhouzhou was speechless.

Help!

Why did it feel like she had eaten a mouthful of grease before even having her meal?
