After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1128: Dig up Every Last Wild Vegetable on the Mountain
Shao Kang: "......"
He was speechless. Was it necessary to make an example of his daughter when warning theirs?
His face was dark, clearly unhappy. He felt bad for her daughter!
He couldn’t help but defend her. "Shanshan is not a hopeless lovestruck girl. She must have been controlled by something. That’s why she’s acting this way."
"Shanshan is a future powerhouse! You don’t know, she’s helped me secure so many projects!"
Qin Er nodded slowly, then said thoughtfully, "Well, at least she was pretty impressive before she met He Ping."
Zhouzhou jumped in with a mischievous grin. "Ah, so having a hopeless lovestruck mind really messes things up! Imagine how much money she could’ve made if she put that time and energy into work instead of He Ping!"

Shao Kang: "......" He was starting to feel like he might get convinced by their arguments.
He realized he was actually agreeing with a lot of what they were saying, but his heart ached a bit. If only there were some sort of "heartbreak removal" magic, he’d use it to fix her love life right at the root.
He sighed deeply, growing quieter. He didn’t want to talk anymore.
Meanwhile, Qin Lie and Qin Er used Shao Shanshan as an example to teach Zhouzhou not to compromise boundlessly when in a relationship. If anyone dared confess to her, they’d just kick them out, no questions asked.
Zhouzhou, with her head held high, replied confidently, "Dad, Brother Dafu, I still remembered it!" She raised her fist in a mock threat and added, "That guy who confessed to me? He cost me a ton of money!"
She gritted her teeth at the memory. She hated that guy so much!
Even though it was ten years ago and happened when she was still in elementary school, she still remembered it vividly!
Qin Lie nodded with satisfaction. He felt confident no one would be able to take his daughter away now.
Qin Er, too, was reassured. The men out there were no match for them, Zhouzhou’s brothers, and they’d make sure that Zhouzhou stayed protected and pampered in the family.
Shao Kang, though, couldn’t help but feel both envious and regretful. He’d missed his chance to guide his own daughter down a similar path when she was younger.
Looking at Zhouzhou, who was obedient and had zero interest in men, he sighed deeply and slyly asked, "Mr. Qin, how did you manage to raise your daughter to listen to your words?"
Zhouzhou, hearing the question, grinned proudly. "Because I’m a daddy’s girl!"
A daddy’s girl means that anything her dad says is like a royal decree—she remembers every word and proudly repeats it.
Zhouzhou continued to proudly declare, "My dad always says: ’Listen to your dad, you won’t go wrong!’"
Shao Kang: "..."
Yeah, he could see it now—this was impossible to learn.
The key to raising a "daddy’s girl" was that the child had to be naive and easy to fool.
His Shanshan had been sharp since she was little. By the time she graduated kindergarten, she couldn’t be tricked anymore.
Unlike this girl—already about to enter college and still so easy to fool.
Not gonna lie, he was kind of envious.
Thinking about it, he shook his head and let out a deep sigh.
He didn’t want to talk anymore.
He was emotionally damaged. Depressed.
Since he wasn’t talking, Zhouzhou certainly was.
The Qin family members happily chatted all the way to the hospital. After getting out of the car, Zhouzhou hugged her little compass and headed straight toward Shao Shanshan’s direction.
Shao Kang couldn’t help but defend his daughter again. "My Shanshan is definitely not a lovestruck fool."
Just as he said that, Shao Shanshan returned from outside carrying breakfast. She was in a hurry, coming from another direction, and didn’t notice them.
As they passed the nurse’s station, they overheard the nurses talking inside:
"That girl is the daughter-in-law of the old lady in Room 3. She’s so filial, staying up all night taking care of her."
"Is she, though? I thought the old lady’s daughter-in-law was someone else? But this one’s prettier."
"You guys don’t know anything. I already asked—the old lady said this one isn’t her daughter-in-law. The real one is the girl who always wears white dresses. The old lady said they were childhood sweethearts, neighbors, and they’ve been together for ages."
"Huh? Then this girl... she’s getting played for a fool."
"..."
Shao Kang’s face turned bright red, feeling like he had just been slapped again.
Humiliating. Absolutely humiliating!
He had just said she wasn’t a love-struck fool, and the next second, he learned that not only was she not officially recognized, but she wasn’t even treated well—yet she was still bending over backward to take care of the old lady!
His face turned so red with anger he could barely breathe.
And yet, Zhouzhou, completely oblivious, chimed in, "She’s about to dig up every last wild vegetable on the mountain."
Qin Er: "Exactly. At least Wang Baochuan was officially Xue Pinggui’s wife."
Qin Lie: "Being a love-struck fool ruins lives."
Shao Kang: "..." Could you guys have some decency?!
He was about to explode from sheer frustration!
He nearly choked on his own breath.
Zhouzhou quickly stuffed a pill into his mouth and gave him a bright smile. "Don’t worry, Uncle! I won’t let anything happen to you!"
Shao Kang’s mouth twitched. "You’re... surprisingly considerate."
His tone was dripping with sarcasm, but Zhouzhou only grinned wider. "No need to thank me!"
Shao Kang was exhausted. He didn’t want to talk anymore.
With a dark expression, he took a step forward, ready to march over.
However, Zhouzhou suddenly pulled him back. "Uncle, don’t rush. Let’s enjoy the show first."
As she spoke, she dragged him to a secluded spot, conveniently a blind spot for surveillance cameras.
She pulled out a talisman and handed it to him.
Shao Kang took it, but before he could ask what it was, Qin Er and Qin Lie tacitly took theirs, slapped them onto their foreheads—
And in the next second, they disappeared.
Shao Kang: "!"
Zhouzhou grinned. "Uncle, this is an invisibility talisman. Take it, let’s watch the drama unfold."
Before he could react, Zhouzhou stuck it onto him and pulled him along.
Shao Kang felt utterly dazed as he followed her toward the ward.
And they didn’t even need to open the door!
That little girl handed them another talisman, and just like that, they passed through the door effortlessly.
Was he dreaming?!
His mind went completely blank.
When he glanced at Qin Lie and Qin Er, he found that their expressions were calm, as if this were completely normal.
Seeing this, he swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue.
The Qin family... They were all insane!
A sudden hesitation crept into his mind—Shanshan couldn’t marry Qin Er. The feng shui in the Qin family was clearly off. What if they turned his daughter into some superstitious oddball too?
Zhouzhou was unaware of his thoughts. Once inside the room, she plopped onto a chair and quietly watched as Shao Shanshan busied herself taking care of He Ping’s mother.
He Ping’s Mother looked at Shao Shanshan with a warm smile. "Shanshan, you’re such a good girl. If our Ping could marry a daughter-in-law like you, I could die in peace."
...That’s not what she told the nurses earlier.
Shao Shanshan pursed her lips and smiled shyly.
Qin Er looked at her and thought she seemed even more like a lovestruck fool than before.
Zhouzhou calculated with her fingers—no change in the fortune.
She waited in silence.
After dinner, Shao Shanshan grabbed the payment slip and left the room.
Not long after, the door swung open again.
This time, the ones who entered were He Ping and a girl in a white dress.
Seeing them, the smile on the old lady’s face grew even brighter. She held Gu Qian’s hand affectionately. "Qianqian, thank you for visiting me again. Our Ping is so lucky to have met you."
...That’s not what she said just now!
Shao Kang was fuming.
Just as he was about to get up and confront her, someone suddenly tugged at his hand.
Turning his head, he saw Zhouzhou holding up her phone, shaking it at him.
What’s the rush? They came at the perfect time—this was all evidence.
