Chapter 1064 The Vegetables Are Gone
As soon as the words left his mouth, Zhouzhou immediately dropped her hands.
Ancestral Master was momentarily stunned.
Then, Zhouzhou sighed and said, "I'm a total daddy's girl, so whatever my dad says goes."
Ancestral Master: "..."
The one thing he hated most in this life was "daddy's girls"!
Such a waste of time!
He glanced at Zhouzhou and said, "Fine, whatever. At least you're not struggling for food. If you're short of money, then bear with it."
With that, he yawned and began shooing her away. "Go on, I need my rest."
Zhouzhou rolled her eyes. She didn't believe for a second that Ancestral Master didn't understand what she meant. He was just doing it on purpose!
But, as she had expected, her dad wouldn't easily agree to her plan. She'd have to work on it slowly.
With that thought, Zhouzhou climbed off the cushion and waved goodbye to Ancestral Master before leaving.
Ancestral Master watched her retreating figure with a snort. "Still pretending in front of me. I'm not like Li Yuanming, that idiot. I'm not falling for her tricks."
He refused to believe that she didn't care, that she wasn't secretly itching to make money. She was just messing with him on purpose.
Little rascal, hmph.
But then, he had to admit, this matter couldn't be rushed. He'd wait and see how things turned out.
That night, Zhouzhou had another dream. In this one, all of Ancestral Master's golden light was restored. With a mere wave of his hand, he erased her financial troubles.
From then on, her wealth grew endlessly, and gold coins were everywhere she looked.
Zhouzhou couldn't help but grin in her sleep.
When Ye Lingfeng entered the room, that was the scene he walked into. He looked at his daughter, grinning like an idiot while lying in bed, and raised an eyebrow.
He walked up to her, pinched her chubby little face, and called out, "Zhouzhou? Wake up."
Zhouzhou didn't want to wake up.
She turned over, hugging her imaginary mountain of gold, drooling in her sleep.
What kind of dream was she having this time?
Ye Lingfeng, feeling helpless, called again, this time louder, "Time for dinner."
The louder sound immediately woke Zhouzhou up.
She blinked, looking around the room before her face fell in disappointment. "Dad, you need to pay for my gold mountain!"
All that gold, just gone!
Ye Lingfeng stared at her in silence. "Do you need me to pay for it? You dreamt about it last night, didn't you? You can just dream up as much gold as you want."
At first, he thought it would take a long time, but now that success seemed so near, he couldn't wait any longer.
However, bringing up the matter with Ye Lingfeng was no easy task.
With a sigh, he muttered, "Daddy's girls really ruin things!"
Meanwhile, Zhouzhou had no care for Ancestral Master's thoughts. She was happily playing with Jingkong.
After chatting with the abbot for a while, she ate dinner at the temple and finally returned home.
Li Yuanming's expression was one of deep, resentful longing.
She treated his place like a hotel! Well, if he was capable, he could live over there too!
But he didn't dare say it out loud.
He knew she was just waiting for him to say something so she could win.
He wouldn't let her have her way!
With that thought, he snorted heavily and went back to his room.
Still, he couldn't help feeling a bit upset.
After all, it was Yiyun who had taken her in at the first place, and they were so close now. If Zhouzhou didn't even go there to visit, it would truly feel cold-hearted.
The little brat may be troublesome, but she was still somewhat filial.
That's why he was just grumbling, not really angry at her.
Yiyun also knew how to handle things. If Zhouzhou stayed too long, Yiyun would urge her to go back.
For the next few days, Zhouzhou spent her mornings at the Taoist temple, afternoons with the monks, and evenings back home to sleep, managing both places without issue.
Because she missed a few meals, Li Yuanming's vegetables lasted a bit longer.
But with Ye Lingfeng around, within ten days, his vegetable garden was practically wiped out.
Li Yuanming stared at the few remaining vegetables in his garden and couldn't help but twitch his mouth. This father-daughter pair really knew how to eat.
He sighed inwardly.
The vegetables were gone, and Zhouzhou's time here was almost up.
Sure enough, that night, Ye Lingfeng brought up the matter.
Zhouzhou, who had been happily playing, immediately looked disappointed.
"Dad, can we stay a few more days?"
Ye Lingfeng glanced at his phone and said, "The hospital just called. Master and the others will be discharged tomorrow. Director Zhao will be coming too. Once we pick them up, we'll head back."
Mentioning Qiu Guoliang made Zhouzhou remember what Ancestral Master had said the other day.
If she could really take on those tasks, she could become a little rich lady in no time!@@@@
