After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 857

Chapter 857: Unreasonable Mom
The moment those words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

Auntie Lan was also dumbfounded, hurriedly covering her mouth, unsure of what had just happened. How could she have said it out loud?

What she didn’t know was that Qin Lie understood completely.

It was the Truth-Telling Talisman.

Zhouzhou had used it on him before.

Even someone as resolute as he was couldn’t withstand the effect of that talisman; what chance did she have?

Everyone noticed Zhouzhou’s actions and, seeing Auntie Lan’s strange demeanor, all turned to look at her.

Zhouzhou clapped her little chubby hands and climbed back onto her chair to continue drinking her milk, hiding her achievements. No need for thanks.

With Auntie Lan’s revelation, everything became clear.

She had plotted against the Lan family’s fortune and harbored murderous intent.

However, Lan Tian was puzzled. “If my dad dies, what does that have to do with you?”

After all, how could she, a distant cousin-in-law who had already been married for five years, claim any of it?

Upon hearing this, Old Mr. Lan felt a bit guilty and coughed lightly, saying, “Perhaps she saw my will; I originally intended to gift her a house.”

Lan Tian: “…”

Lan He: “…”

Everyone else: “…”

Zhouzhou: “Wow, get Fifth Senior Brother here; there’s someone even more of a do-gooder than him!”

Lan Tian felt speechless. Even for his own father, he couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

If it weren’t for the old man’s good relationship with his mother, he might have suspected something inappropriate was going on between them!

Just because he had a needy relative visiting, he wanted to gift her a house?

That was property in Jing City!

You couldn’t buy it for less than ten million.

With the old man’s soft-heartedness, it was likely to be a substantial gift.

Zhouzhou trotted over on her short legs, full of anticipation. “Grandpa Lan, what do you think of me?”

“I’m so poor; I’m a little destitute!”

“I’ve even begged for food; how pitiful!”

“Could you buy me a house too?”

Her earnest words made Old Mr. Lan’s face flush red.

Lan Tian stood to the side, crossing his arms sarcastically, “Yeah, send her one! Zhouzhou is your lifesaver; you have to gift her a big villa!”

Lan He opened his mouth but ultimately didn’t manage to stop his younger brother from speaking.

Even he thought his dad was being ridiculous this time.

Gifting money and a house was one thing, but attracting murderous intent in the process was foolish.

Grandma Qin laughed until her stomach hurt, taking a moment before stepping forward to pull her little chubby granddaughter back.

She winked at Old Mr. Lan, teasing, “So, are you giving Zhouzhou a house? She also has a temple that’s quite poor. Why not give her some money to renovate it, all in gold, since Zhouzhou loves gold?”

Old Mr. Lan: “……”

His face was so red it looked like it might bleed. In the end, he couldn’t take it anymore and begged, “I was wrong. I really know I was wrong; I definitely won’t be foolish again.”

He wished they would stop talking and give him some dignity.

Seeing this, Grandma Qin lightly huffed and decided not to tease him further.

Zhouzhou sighed. Oh, so no house?

Why was her timing so off? If she had known he was giving out houses, she would have come to him earlier.

It was just pretending to be pitiful; she was quite good at it!

Lan Tian and Lan He also looked amused.

After being teased by the little girl and seeing the old man regretful, they decided not to stoke the fire any further.

They turned their attention back to Auntie Lan, their expressions instantly turning cold.

They couldn’t be bothered to listen to her nonsense anymore. Lan Tian stepped forward and knocked her unconscious with a swift chop.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou leaned her little head out and said, “Brother, remember to leave this bad woman for me.”

Lan Tian asked curiously, “What do you want her for?”

Zhouzhou replied confidently, “Of course, to exchange for money! I can give her to my second uncle; he can give me money.”

Lan Tian: “……”

Suddenly, he felt like the little girl genuinely wanted the house, not just to embarrass the old man.

She was a true money-lover!

Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin had long gotten used to this and chimed in, “After all, you’ll be reporting her to the police anyway. Why not let Qin Xu come?”

Other police stations might not be willing to give a reward for this.

If little chubby girl pulled off this stunt and ended up with nothing, she’d probably cry on the ground.

Lan He quickly caught on and nodded repeatedly, “Good.”

“And this.” He took out a card and handed it to Zhouzhou. “This is the medical fee. Thank you, little girl, for saving my dad.”

Looking at the card, Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up. She looked up at Qin Lie, and upon seeing him nod, she happily accepted it.

But before she could even be happy for a second, the Ancestral Master waved his hand, and the money inside was reduced to just a fraction.

Zhouzhou: “……”

As expected, Ancestral Master was a miser!

She pouted and quickly put the card away, fearing the Ancestral Master might take even that little bit from her.

She had worked hard enough for this!

Touching the little chubby girl’s head, Lan Tian asked another question: “So, my dad is completely cured now, right?”

Zhouzhou shook her head. “There are still a few more acupuncture sessions to go.”

With that, Zhouzhou took out a bottle of medicine from her bag and handed it to him.

“Grandpa Lan needs to take this once a day for ten days, plus the acupuncture, and he should be almost fine.”

Then she looked at Old Mr. Lan, seriously reminding him, “Grandpa Lan, you can’t take medicine haphazardly anymore.”

In an instant, Old Mr. Lan felt a role reversal.

He was the one acting like a child.

Taking medicine to the point of fainting? If this got out, he’d lose all his dignity.

He felt helpless. The rest of them in the patient room, considering he was still a patient, laughed at him for a bit but didn’t continue.

With acupuncture every three days, Lan Tian said he would come to pick up Zhouzhou then.

After setting the date, Zhouzhou bounced away.

As she left, she dragged Auntie Lan along with her.

The sound of clattering followed.

By the time Qin Xu arrived to take her away, Auntie Lan had already bled quite a bit.

Zhouzhou took her pulse and, relieved, said, “It’s fine. Just buy some cheap hemostatic medicine from the pharmacy.”

As for her own medicine, she didn’t want to give it to her.

She didn’t deserve it.

When Qin Xu learned what had happened, he didn’t feel any sympathy for Auntie Lan.

She brought this upon herself.

He instructed people to take her away and then turned to Zhouzhou, asking, “Aren’t you going to school?”

It was only noon, and they still had other plans for the afternoon since today was the official start of school.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou’s eyes brightened. “I want to go to school! To eat the food made by Second Senior Brother!”

As she spoke, she nearly drooled.

Second Senior Brother’s cooking was the best in the world!

Seeing her little greedy-cat expression, Qin Lie smiled and they headed back to school together.

As soon as they reached the entrance, they heard a commotion inside.

A cake had been thrown on the ground, and a nearby child’s mother crossed her arms, arrogantly demanding, “Call your chef over here. I want to know what kind of cream this is that you let my child eat!”
