After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 909

Chapter 909: Bargain Price!
Qin Lie felt sorry for Zhouzhou and said, “Let’s take a break for a bit.”

Zhouzhou shook her head and said seriously, “Dad, if you don’t work hard when you’re young, you’ll only regret it when you’re older. You have to hustle when you’re young; if you don’t push yourself now, when will you?”

Ancestral Master: “Exactly!”

Qin Lie: “……” Great, his daughter doesn’t even need her boss to PUA her; she’s already done it herself.

The boss would definitely love an employee like her.

Zhouzhou loved herself too. After educating her dad, she started shouting energetically again, her voice a little hoarse.

After a busy night, when they were about to pack up and leave, Zhouzhou suddenly stopped in front of a stall.

It was a cart selling apples, with the vendor happily sitting there, continuously announcing through a loudspeaker, “Five yuan per jin!”

Oh right!

Zhouzhou smacked her forehead, realizing she hadn’t thought of using a loudspeaker!

Qin Lie followed her gaze and instantly understood her thoughts.

He walked over, pulled out some money, and handed it to the vendor, saying, “I’ll buy this loudspeaker.”

Before the vendor could take it, Zhouzhou immediately pulled him away, and once they turned a corner, she huffed angrily, “Wasteful Dad!”

She had worked all night to earn less than a hundred yuan, and he just spent a few hundred in one go–was he stupid?!

She glared at him and said, “You just stand here and don’t follow me, okay?”

With that, Zhouzhou ran back, looking around again, and found another vendor with a loudspeaker.

She approached softly and asked, “Sister, is this loudspeaker for sale?”

The vendor, a lady in her forties whose daughter was already married, beamed at being called “sister” by the cute little girl.

Curiously, she asked, “What do you need it for?”

Zhouzhou replied pitifully, “I’m selling things and my throat hurts from shouting all night. Sister, can I buy your loudspeaker? Don’t worry, I’ll pay.”

Saying this, Zhouzhou pulled out a wad of money, all small bills, with the largest denomination being ten yuan.

There was no way around it; Zhouzhou sold her fortunes for two yuan, and anything bigger wouldn’t work.

The vendor felt a wave of sympathy, already imagining a tragic backstory.

Poor little girl, coming out to work at such a young age.

Looking at her clothes, which were no brand-name items, her heart ached even more.

She asked gently, “Little girl, do you have parents you need to support at home?”

Zhouzhou thought for a moment and nodded earnestly, “Yes! My mom is no longer here, but I have two dads to support.”

She was here to earn money for her dads’ care.

She counted on her fingers, saying, “And grandpa and grandma, and uncles and aunts…”

As she counted each family member, the vendor’s heart sank further.

What kind of family was this, with all the burdens on such a small girl? No wonder she was so short.

Zhouzhou was about to continue when the vendor immediately took down the loudspeaker and handed it to Zhouzhou, saying, “Here, don’t say anything, just take it, and take this money too.”

With that, she took out a hundred yuan and handed it to Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou was stunned, her mouth forming an O of surprise. She was both amazed and delighted–she really was suited for begging!

She didn’t even have to ask for money; people just gave it to her!

Wasn’t that a talent?

However, Zhouzhou still returned the money to her, saying, “Auntie, I can’t take this.”

Then she shook the loudspeaker in her hand, asking, “How much is this? I want to buy it.”

“Don’t worry about the money,” the vendor waved her hand generously.

Zhouzhou refused to take it for free. Thinking for a moment, she pulled out ten yuan to give her, then looked at her face and handed her a talisman.

“Auntie, you’re going to be a grandmother soon, but the pregnancy isn’t stable. Use this for your daughter, okay?”

With that, she darted away.

The vendor watched her, touched. What a good girl!

She was both filial and understanding, and very independent. She could only hope that heaven would treat her well and that her family would get better soon.

But what did she mean about becoming a grandmother? Her daughter had recently told her she was unwell and that pregnancy would be difficult.

The little girl was probably just saying random things.

She didn’t quite believe it and was about to toss the talisman into the trash when her phone suddenly rang. It was her daughter calling.

As soon as she answered, her daughter’s excited voice came through, “Mom, I’m pregnant!”

What?

The vendor was ecstatic, but the next moment, she heard her daughter’s slightly distressed voice say, “But the doctor said my health isn’t good, and I don’t know if I can keep the baby.”

After a while of silence, her daughter’s voice came through again, sounding puzzled, “Mom?”

The vendor jolted back to reality, looking down at the talisman in her hand, clenching it tightly.

“Wait for me!” She hurried to find Zhouzhou, but by then, Zhouzhou’s figure was long gone.

In the end, she had no choice but to pack up her stall and rush to give the talisman to her daughter.

She didn’t know if it was a psychological effect, but when her daughter got it, she felt much better.

At that moment, the vendor thought maybe that little girl really had some abilities.

Next time she saw her, she had to thank her properly.

But how could such a capable girl still be in such a tough situation?

Soon, she figured it out–her family members were probably lazy and relied on her!

The Qin family suddenly sneezed in unison.

“Ah-choo–” Qin Lie was among them.

Zhouzhou, sitting in the back seat playing with the loudspeaker, heard the sound and quickly looked over, asking, “Dad, what’s wrong? Did you catch a cold?”

Qin Lie felt around and shook his head, “No.”

He didn’t feel unwell at all.

“Someone must be talking about me,” he said casually.

Zhouzhou, being superstitious, immediately believed it, feeling a bit upset, “My dad is so great, why would anyone talk about you?”

Unbeknownst to her, all this was her doing.

It was just a misunderstanding.

Ancestral Master knew the whole story but wickedly kept it to himself.

After more than an hour, they arrived home.

Zhouzhou was still playing with the loudspeaker when, accidentally pressing the switch, the loudspeaker blared out: “Bargain price, bargain price, travelers from south to north, don’t miss out, clothes are thirty-one yuan each, thirty-one yuan each, the whole lot for thirty yuan…”

Zhouzhou: “……”

In the room, Grandma Qin was startled, momentarily disoriented, thinking she was at a wholesale market, and hurried out to take a look.

Seeing her little granddaughter, she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhouzhou anxiously held the loudspeaker, saying, “Oh no, I forgot to ask that auntie how to change what’s in here.”

“Dad, do you know?”

Qin Lie shook his head; he didn’t know either and had never seen one before.

Seeing this, Zhouzhou turned to Grandma Qin.

Grandma Qin shook her head as well, not understanding it.

Her family was quite well off, and she had never run a stall.

Zhouzhou asked around but found no one knew, and just as she felt a bit disappointed, a hand suddenly stretched out, a voice like a savior coming from above.

“I know how.”
