After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

Chapter 479 Qin Caicai's Troubles

"Fourth Brother, what does this word mean?" Zhouzhou hadn't recognized all the characters yet, and when she encountered one she didn't know, she asked.

"It's 'Cancer'. Do you recognize this word?" Qin Xi pointed to one and inquired.

Confidently puffing out her little belly, Zhouzhou replied, "Instrument!"

Two semi-illiterates huddled together, joining forces to "translate" this document. After reading through all the contents, both fell silent.

Ye Lingfeng moistened his lips, set down his cup, and looked at them. "Now you understand why he didn't seek treatment even after being beaten up, and instead saved the money, don't you?"

Qin Xi nodded, his expression complicated.

Zhouzhou's face also showed deep concern.

Judging from Wei Xuhong's attire, it was clear his family was not well-off, but no one expected their situation to be this dire.

His father had leukemia, currently hospitalized. Medical expenses were a significant burden for any family, let alone the financially struggling Wei family.

In order to pay for his father's treatment, Wei Xuhong's mother worked as a maid, coincidentally employed by the Qian family.

Though despicable, the Qian family did pay well, so even when Wei Xuhong was bullied, he dared not speak out, fearing he would jeopardize his mother's job and his father's medical treatment.

Each time after Qian Duoduo extorted his "medical expenses," Wei Xuhong would save the money, intending to use it for his father's treatment.

In addition to this, he himself would work part-time after school, often holding more than one job.

Qin Xi thought he was spineless, not realizing the full extent of the situation. After all, who would willingly endure beatings?

Zhouzhou clenched her fists tightly, her eyes reddening. After a while, she hugged Qin Lie's leg, looking up at him. "Daddy, let's help big brother."

Upon hearing this, before Qin Lie could respond, Ye Lingfeng was the first to express dissatisfaction.

He tapped the table, displeased. "Clearly, I found out about this. Why are you turning to him first? Zhouzhou, don't you understand who is more capable between him and me?"

With that, he puffed out his chest, looking like he expected praise.

Qin Lie, unusually, didn't argue with him. His expression unchanged, he gently pushed Zhouzhou away, saying expressionlessly, "Yes, he's more capable. Let him handle this matter."

After speaking, he discreetly exchanged a glance with Zhouzhou.

Zhouzhou's eyes lit up, and she immediately shifted to Ye Lingfeng's thigh.

With a thud, she sat on his leg, shaking it, and coquettishly said, "Daddy, you're the most capable and powerful. Can you help big brother? He's so pitiful."

Since he found out about the information, Ye Lingfeng had already decided to do this.

To him, it was a simple matter, but for Wei Xuhong's family, it could bring about a profound change.

However, he didn't agree immediately, instead, he glanced at Zhouzhou and lightly snorted, "You didn't come to me first. I'm not in the mood now."

Zhouzhou also jumped off his lap and ran upstairs.

It was time to remove the needle.

Qin Xi hesitated for a moment, then reluctantly followed.

As they entered, Zhouzhou had just finished removing the needle. He noticed that whenever Wei Xuhong saw the needle, a hint of fear flashed subconsciously in his eyes, and he probably guessed that he had been pricked before.

The difference was that Zhouzhou's needle was used to save lives, while Qian Duoduo's needle was used to bully people.

Thinking of this, he hesitated for a moment, walked over, and said, "Wei Xuhong, I'm sorry for what I said earlier."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xuhong looked at him blankly, not understanding why he would say this, but still shook his head repeatedly, his eyes full of unease.

Qin Xi continued, "I didn't know about your family's situation before, but now I do. However, I still don't approve of you being bullied by Qian Duoduo just for money."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xuhong's body stiffened, quickly lowered his head, and tugged at his clothes corner, afraid of seeing disdain in Zhouzhou's eyes.

After all... he even despised himself for being so spineless.

A person like him was naturally unable to straighten his back and lift his head.

Just as he was thinking this, a chubby paw suddenly appeared on the back of his hand.

One black, one white; one large, one small; one fat, one thin.

The extreme contrast made him stare blankly, his brain momentarily blank, not knowing how to react.

Zhouzhou looked at him seriously, "Brother, don't be afraid. I'll protect you in the future and make sure the bad guys don't bully you again."

"Don't worry about your dad's illness either. My fourth uncle is his doctor, and I'm also very good at medicine. Let's work together to cure your dad."

"And, there are many ways to make money. In the future, you can join Brother Dafu and me in setting up a stall, and we'll get rich together!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xi leaned over and said, "Zhouzhou, why haven't I seen you bring back the money you earned from setting up the stall?"

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou's eyes drifted away, and she said softly, "I spent them all on eating..."

She pinched her clothes corner, justifying herself, "I've been setting up the stall for so long, and I get hungry. The things in the mall are expensive, and I eat a lot, so I spend the money casually."

Thinking of this, Zhouzhou realized something.

She really hadn't saved any money by setting up the stall. Sometimes when she felt like eating expensive things, she even ended up losing money.

A day's work would end up losing money.

Thinking of this, Zhouzhou pouted, crying suddenly.

She sat on the ground, slapping her chubby legs, crying with snot and tears, "Why is my life so bitter!"
