After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 845

Chapter 845: If All Else Fails, You Can Always Beg for Food
Upon hearing this, the man was momentarily stunned, then he let out a bitter laugh. “Get rich? Look at me now, where do I look like I’m about to strike it rich?”

Zhouzhou shook her head and pointed to his forehead, saying, “Uncle, your forehead is very bright! The wealth palace is also shining; you’re definitely going to be rich! I can see this the best, and it’s definitely not wrong!”

Hearing this, the man smiled but remained skeptical. He had stumbled upon Zhouzhou’s livestream by chance and thought the cute little girl was charming, so he had given her all the money he had left. He didn’t expect her to actually put him on line.

Seeing that he didn’t believe her, Zhouzhou felt a bit troubled, scratching her head, and said dejectedly, “Alright then, Uncle, since you’ve given me money, let’s chat! I can’t take money without doing something in return; I’ll have bad luck otherwise!”

The little girl spoke earnestly, not knowing if she was just trying to buy time. Even if she was, the man didn’t mind much. He had already lost everything and had no will to live. Even if he was saved today, he could still die tomorrow.

If a person truly wanted to die, they couldn’t be stopped. But when he looked at Zhouzhou, he couldn’t help but think of his own child, and his patience grew. “Sure, what do you want to talk about?”

“Let’s first talk about why you don’t want to live anymore.” She had no thoughts of ending her life even when she was poor. Why did he have to feel that way?

The man shook his head and sighed heavily before saying, “My company went bankrupt, my wife took the child and left, and I have no family left. There’s nothing in this world that I care about anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou exclaimed, looking at his marital fortune and finding it puzzling. “But Uncle, your marital palace is bright red, and you have only one relationship line; your marriage is perfectly fine!”

That made him even sadder. He and his wife were college classmates, and they had married right after graduation. Over the past decade, their relationship had been great. He never imagined she would be the first to leave him when he fell into financial ruin.

Moreover, she was already pregnant with their second child, but she said she wanted to terminate the pregnancy. The man looked up at the sky, pain filling his eyes. He didn’t blame her; he just felt miserable. It was as if all their years together counted for nothing.

Zhouzhou shook her head again, “No, no, Uncle, you’re wrong again.”

“Your kinship line is very solid; even this new one that’s just sprouted is doing well!”

Now the audience was confused.

[What on earth is going on? How can they both say completely opposite things?]

[I guess she made a mistake; after all, she’s just a little kid. How could she really be as accurate as a fortune teller?]

[But she has been very accurate earlier.]

[That’s not certain; Qin Xu is her relative. Maybe she already has inside information and is just acting this out.]

These comments came from the couple, who had thoroughly investigated the Qin family’s background. They were closely watching Zhouzhou’s every move, praying she would mess up. They were determined not to let her clear her name.

Seeing these comments, Qin Lie squinted, already guessing who was behind them.

Just wait; soon it’ll be your turn.

There were all kinds of voices in the comments. Zhouzhou ignored them and continued watching the man, calculating again with her coins and confidently nodding. “Uncle, my calculation is correct.”

This time, the man was taken aback. Looking at Zhouzhou’s certain expression, he started to hesitate. Could there be something he didn’t know?

As soon as that thought crossed his mind, he quickly shook his head in denial. No more wishful thinking. He had tried to call her, but she hadn’t answered; wasn’t that clear enough?

Seeing his disbelief, Zhouzhou felt helpless but still couldn’t stand seeing someone on the brink of giving up. She continued, “Uncle, even if you’re out of money and your wife and child are gone, you still have to keep fighting to live!”

“Look at me; I was just kicked out of the mountain by my master! I spent a whole day washing dishes, but I’m still trying hard to beg for food!”

Saying this, the little chubby girl proudly shook her head. Proud! She’s begging, and she’s proud of it! No one is more suited to begging than her!

Seeing the little girl’s expression, the man was momentarily dumbfounded. Did she really just say she used to be a beggar? And she sounded so happy about it?

Not only was Zhouzhou happy, but she was also proud. Her little mouth kept babbling, “My master said, a good death is not as good as a bad life. If you can’t make money, just beg. As long as you’re alive, there’s hope.”

“Who hasn’t been poor at some point? I’ve been poor for several years, so what?”

She had spent a big part of her life being poor! She just turned seven, and she only went to the Qin family when she was four and a half, so isn’t that just about half of her life?

The little chubby girl shook her head and offered him advice: “If it really doesn’t work, just find someone to support you! Look at me; after I got my dad, I can eat enough!”

Her voice was soft, and her words were quite interesting, causing the man to chuckle slightly.

A few seconds later, he sighed again, “But no one will support me.”

As soon as he finished speaking, a hurried voice rang out, “I’ll support you!”

The man was startled and turned his head to see two people standing at the rooftop door. He immediately backed away a few steps.

Seeing this, the two were nearly scared to death.

“Lu Xin!”

“Dad!”

They exclaimed in surprise. The newcomers were his wife and child.

Yang Ling’s eyes were filled with tears as she reached out her hand, anxiously saying, “Honey, come down quickly! Don’t you want me? Don’t you want our son? Don’t you want our little baby?”

At the end, she placed her hand on her belly.

Lu Xin was stunned for a moment, a flash of pain in his eyes. “Didn’t you say you didn’t want this child?”

As if he suddenly understood something, he sighed and smiled at her, “I don’t blame you. Really, I only blame myself for not providing you with a good life, making you suffer alongside me. I’m sorry for that.”

“You leaving is the right choice; as for this child, it’s better not to have it. It’ll be hard enough for you to raise Yiyi alone.”

After saying this, he turned to his son, instructing, “Yiyi, you must take good care of your mom. Listen to her; dad is leaving.”

“No!” Yang Ling shouted suddenly. Before he could react, she hurriedly walked to the edge of the rooftop and threatened, “If you dare to jump, I’ll jump down with the two kids!”

Upon hearing this, Lu Xin stopped in his tracks, furrowing his brow. “Don’t mess around.”

Yang Ling stubbornly stared at him. “I’m not messing around; you know me. I mean what I say. If you jump, I’ll jump.”

Lu Xin knew this all too well, which is why he didn’t dare to move. He looked at her with confusion in his eyes.

Seeing that he had stopped moving, Yang Ling wiped her tears and said, “I didn’t abandon you. I went back to my parents’ house to borrow money and didn’t tell you because you’re too proud. I was afraid you’d disagree. As soon as I got off the car, my phone broke, so that’s why I didn’t get your call.”

As she spoke, she took out her phone, which was cracked all over, and pressed it; it didn’t respond.

Her son quickly opened the bag he was holding, revealing it was full of money. They hadn’t lied.

Lu Xin’s expression softened instantly.

Yang Ling continued, “As for this child…” She placed her hand on her belly, “I was afraid you’d be too stressed. Kids are hard to raise; they cost money from the moment they’re born. That’s why I didn’t want to have it.”

“But I’ve thought it through. No matter what, we have hands and feet. If we work hard, even if I have to wash dishes and sweep the streets, we can still raise this child.”

“As long as we’re together, I can keep going. But honey, if you’re gone, I can’t hold on anymore.”

“Honey, come down! Let’s all live well, okay?” Yang Ling said tearfully.

Lu Xin looked at her, moved, and stepped down, reaching out to her, pulling her into an embrace.

The couple held each other tightly, a touching scene.

Zhouzhou watched but suddenly covered her ears.

The audience was confused. And the next moment they were all startled by a sharp scream.

“How dare you plan to jump in the first place? If I didn’t get here in time, do you expect me to be a widow?”
