After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 835

Chapter 835: Calculating Where the Secret Savings Are
Zhouzhou: “……”

She instantly felt even sadder.

However, Ancestral Master didn’t give her any time to cry and dragged her toward the overpass.

Others couldn’t see Ancestral Master; they only saw Zhouzhou floating in the air, her legs lifted off the ground as she moved forward. They could probably guess what was happening.

They just hoped no outsiders would be startled by the sight.

Qin Lie’s temples twitched; there wasn’t a single one of them that was easy to handle!

He quickly stepped forward and picked Zhouzhou up, saying to Ancestral Master, “I’ll take her.”

Ancestral Master certainly had no objections and nodded, “That’s fine.”

Zhouzhou was then carried by Qin Lie toward the car.

She lay on his shoulder, clutching her chest, putting on a dramatic act, “My life is so hard; my birthday isn’t even over yet, and I have to go work!”

“Ancestral Master, are you going to give me overtime pay today?”

“Pay you? In your dreams.” Ancestral Master rolled his eyes, clutching his wallet.

Did she think she could take money from him? No way!

Hearing this, Zhouzhou’s face instantly fell, and she muttered, “Shameless.”

Upon hearing this, Ancestral Master narrowed his eyes, “What did you say? Say that again if you dare.”

Could Zhouzhou let this slide?

She had the guts, oh yes, she did.

Otherwise, how could her little head be worth a hundred billion?

To prove this point, she immediately shouted, “I said, you are shameless!”

Her voice was loud enough for everyone present to hear, and they all turned to look at Zhouzhou.

Ancestral Master: “……”

He forgot this little chubby girl had a few screws loose.

Not only that, but she was also illiterate, unable to comprehend language; her little brain just wouldn’t turn.

If one took things too seriously, the loser would only be him.

He promptly looked up, pretending that the awkward person was someone else.

Ye Lingfeng and Qin Lie could see Ancestral Master and heard their conversation, which made them chuckle.

As expected, one could conquer one with the other.

Little chubby girl had no idea she said something wrong; she shook her little head proudly.

She was a good child, really.

Look, how obedient she was.

Confronted with their mischievous gazes, Ancestral Master couldn’t help but endure, his old face flushing as he angrily declared, “Let’s go, let’s go! If we don’t hurry, don’t come crying to me when you need merits in the future!”

That wouldn’t do.

Zhouzhou’s little face turned serious as she quickly patted Qin Lie’s shoulder, signaling him to hurry, and quietly leaned toward his ear to whisper, “Ancestral Master is so stingy; he can’t play.”

Her voice was soft, but Ancestral Master heard it, nearly stumbling at her words.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou blinked her big, innocent eyes at him, saying, “Ancestral Master, slow down; do you need me to help you? One dollar for a minute of my little cane!”

Who needs that?

With her being such a short little thing, walking with her would be exhausting.

Ancestral Master mentally complained, rolling his eyes and deciding not to talk to Zhouzhou anymore.

Zhouzhou pouted and huffed, “If you don’t want to use it, then don’t!”

He didn’t want her help, and she didn’t want to help either.

With all this commotion, the sadness of parting vanished.

Zhouzhou waved at Ye Lingfeng, “Daddy, be careful, okay? Hurry back to see me once you’re done!”

“Sure.” Ye Lingfeng smiled and nodded, looking at her warmly.

It was good; he didn’t want to see his little girl cry during the New Year.

However, Ancestral Master truly lacked ethics.

At the very least, he should wait until tomorrow to make Zhouzhou work.

Soon, Zhouzhou became the first in the family to start working, even her workaholic father, Qin Lie, would only start the next day.

Before long, little chubby girl arrived at the overpass.

At this time, there weren’t many stalls set up yet.

Zhouzhou sighed heavily, feeling unmotivated to work.

“Ancestral Master, are you really not considering giving me some extra money? Or could you talk to Uncle Heavenly Thunder and see if I can keep half of the merits I earn in the future?”

Hearing this, Ancestral Master shot her a glance, “How about I just call him out for you, and you speak to him yourself?”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes widened in shock, and she quickly covered her “Fortune Hair” with her hands, shaking her head vigorously, “No, no!”

Uncle Heavenly Thunder had a strange temper; who knew if he’d suddenly find an excuse to strike her with lightning again?

She certainly didn’t want to be hit by lightning once more.

Seeing her like this, Ancestral Master’s eyes flickered as he found a way to control her.

Clearing his throat, he threatened, “Heavenly Thunder specifically strikes those who don’t work hard. If you don’t focus, he’ll zap you.”

Zhouzhou believed him, her little mouth pouting, her eyes instantly welling with tears.

How is life so hard for her?

She was still just a child; she had just turned seven today. Why was she being chased by lightning?

Why did they have to make things so difficult for a child?

They didn’t have hearts!

At least, Ancestral Master didn’t.

After scaring little chubby girl into behaving, he felt a sense of accomplishment and couldn’t help but pat himself on the back.

He was truly clever.

Qin Lie looked at him speechlessly, shaking his head as he turned away.

He couldn’t understand how Ancestral Master became, well, Ancestral Master.

In fact, Ancestral Master didn’t act this way in front of others.

It was just that Zhouzhou was a child, and it wouldn’t be right to be too strict while coaxing her to help him work.

Besides, he had watched Zhouzhou grow up, seeing her learn to speak and walk, and he had seen every bun she secretly ate at night.

In the entire temple, she was the cutest.

The soft little girl was always easier to feel soft-hearted towards.

If being tough didn’t work, then being soft would have to do.

Comforting and tricking her was far better than scolding.

That was how he thought.

Qin Lie, however, felt a bit speechless.

Fortunately, Zhouzhou could also earn some merits from this, and he promised to help Zhouzhou get rid of her money troubles once he fully recovered his body.

Thinking of it this way, he let it go.

Since it was the New Year, there were plenty of people out for fun.

Zhouzhou worked hard shouting, quickly attracting the attention of a family who approached her.

“Little girl, can you tell fortunes too?” the mother asked curiously.

Zhouzhou nodded, “Yes, I can.”

The little girl’s voice was soft and sweet, pleasant to hear.

This piqued the mother’s interest even more, and she smiled, “Then can you tell me where my husband hides his secret savings?”

Upon hearing this, the father’s face instantly turned bitter as he looked at her pleadingly.

But judging by their expressions, they clearly weren’t taking it seriously.

After all, Zhouzhou looked too young.

They didn’t truly believe she could tell fortunes.

Zhouzhou didn’t mind and asked, “Do you have a picture of your house?”

“Yes.” The woman took out her phone, showing a video and some photos she had taken of her home just a few days ago for her friends.

Zhouzhou looked at the photos and began to shake her little copper coins to calculate.

The family watched curiously, while someone nearby recorded it on their phone.

It was quite entertaining.

Before long, Zhouzhou circled a few places.

When she finished, the man’s face suddenly changed.

As Zhouzhou paused, he stared at her with a strange expression.

Seeing his expression, the woman was surprised, “What? You really hid money in these places?”

The man didn’t say anything, just stared at Zhouzhou, his expression now devoid of the earlier smiles.

Seeing this, the woman became interested and asked Zhouzhou, “Is this all?”

Zhouzhou shook her head, “No, these are just small amounts. The big money is with an auntie.”
