After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

"Hm?" Zhouzhou's eyes narrowed, and her gaze turned cold in an instant.

Li Yu'an was startled and immediately forced himself to retreat despite the severe pain in his knee. He covered his head with both hands and complained, "It was you who asked me to tell the truth."

After speaking, he quickly explained, "Think about it, how great it would be to have a car and a house without having to work hard! You know how expensive the housing prices are in Jing City. There's no way I could afford it on my own. I probably have to rely on a girl."

Zhouzhou's words almost squeezed out from between her teeth, "So you planned to leech off Yuxin and suck her dry?"

"No, no, no," Li Yu'an shook his head vigorously, fearing that if he delayed any longer, he might get another painful blow. He hurriedly said, "I wanted to learn from Brother Qin Er and find someone to support me!"

His voice was extremely loud, and he spoke with great sincerity. When he mentioned Qin Er, his face was filled with envy. On the day of Qin Er's wedding, Zhouzhou had also sent them an invitation. He had tagged along with his sister to attend the banquet and heard that Qin Er had married into the bride's family and received a "dowry" of one hundred million yuan. He was utterly astonished at the time.

He said, "Brother Qin Er didn't have to pay the dowry, and yet a beautiful sister was willing to marry him. I heard she also bought him a house and gave him money. Who wouldn't be envious?"

Zhouzhou: "..." To be honest, she was envious too. Wait, the topic had shifted.

She coughed to clear her throat and refocused, "You really didn't plan to exploit your sister?"

"How could I?" Li Yu'an said with a sense of grievance. Even if he wanted to, he would have to see if he had the guts.

Over the years, he had always been kind to Li Yuxin and hadn't felt the power of the "invisible hand" for many years. He didn't know if it still existed, but he didn't dare to test it. The pain that made his soul tremble was something he never wanted to experience again.

Moreover... he muttered, "My sister is a living person too; she has her own life. Why would I ask her to buy me a house or a car? I should rely on myself to find a rich girl and marry into wealth!"

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but think of Qin Er again. Qin Er had almost become his idol now. He was just too amazing. Li Yu'an also wanted to be like him. Without a hundred million in dowry, ten million would do.

Zhouzhou looked at him and rolled her eyes, "With your wimpy attitude, you actually think you can compare yourself with my Brother Dafu?"

She didn't have that kind of luck either. Thinking of this, Zhouzhou felt a bit sour inside. Why couldn't a girl marry another girl? It was unfair! She was unconvinced!

Her mood wasn't very good at the moment, and she glared at Li Yu'an, "You behave yourself. If you dare to bully Yuxin, this time, it won't be just a light slap."

Upon hearing this, Li Yu'an's face changed, and he looked at her in horror. That was supposed to be a "light slap"? He had been in excruciating pain! He immediately shook his head vigorously and raised three fingers to swear, "I definitely won't bully my sister. I know that being good to her means I'll be fine. I won't be foolish."

"I mean, even if there were someone that wanted to take advantage, it would be of my parents. Their house is worth at least two or three million. If it gets demolished, I might get a new apartment," he continued, unable to contain his laughter. Their area consisted of old houses, and who knew, it might really get demolished.

Zhouzhou calculated with her fingers and felt even more envious. Come to think of it, he did have good luck; the house might really get demolished. However...

"What if it really gets demolished? Where do you plan to let Yuxin live?"

"Of course, she can choose freely," Li Yu'an said sincerely. "She's my sister. If we get two apartments, I'll give her one as her pre-marital property. Even after she gets married, she won't be afraid of being bullied."

"If we only get one apartment, then we'll live together. She's family too."

That was more like it. Zhouzhou's expression softened a lot.

"Alright, just remember what you said. I'll be watching you all the time. If you're really good to Yuxin, I won't let you down either."

Hearing this, Li Yu'an's eyes lit up, and he nodded vigorously.

Thinking of something, he quickly said, "Wait a moment."

With that, he pushed himself up from the ground, ran to a cabinet, and almost buried his head inside. He took out a box from a hidden corner and handed a card to Zhouzhou, saying, "Sister Zhou, this is all the lucky money I've saved over the years. I originally planned to keep it for my sister's dowry, but now that she's in this situation, you take it and give it to her. Let her study well; she'll definitely do better next year."

"I just spend money a bit too freely, so I haven't saved much—only a few thousand yuan. Don't look down on it," he said, scratching his head in embarrassment.

Zhouzhou looked at him and was about to take it but thought better of it and pulled her hand back, "You give it to her yourself."

"I'm afraid my sister doesn't want to see me," Li Yu'an had thought of this. But considering that he was the beneficiary in this situation, he thought that if he were in her shoes, he would probably hate him to death.

Zhouzhou shook her head, "You should explain everything clearly to Yuxin yourself."

The only thing that made her feel better today was that Li Yu'an was indeed very kind to Li Yuxin now. Yuxin had already been very disappointed with her parents. Having her brother on her side would at least bring some warmth to her heart.

She wasn't a heartless person. Even at this point, she hadn't said she would abandon her parents. Such a soft-hearted person deserved this warmth. It would be better if Li Yu'an gave his sister the bank card himself.

Seeing her expression, Li Yu'an gritted his teeth, "Alright, I'll go! I'll go first thing tomorrow morning."

"Don't. Go in the evening. Don't disturb Yuxin during her work hours," she said, taking out her phone and sending him an address. "Yuxin is now working at this restaurant and gets off work at eleven. Don't go during her working hours. Wait until she finishes and then go see her. Otherwise, I'll beat you up."

This time, Li Yu'an didn't even notice her last few words. He stared in disbelief, "My sister is working?"

"Or what?" Zhouzhou looked at him sarcastically. "Your parents aren't giving Yuxin tuition fees. What else can she do but work part-time?"

Li Yu'an felt extremely upset inside. Although he had initially been kind to Li Yuxin to avoid getting beaten, over time, he had truly come to like having an older sister. He never expected that because of him, she had suffered so much. He thought she would just study for another year, and studying was never too difficult for her. He never imagined she would have to work to earn tuition fees! It was he who had wronged her.

Li Yu'an's eyes turned red, and he wiped away the tears forcefully, "I understand. I won't disturb her."

Seeing the guilt and heartache in his eyes, Zhouzhou's expression softened towards him. She waved her hand and left directly.

Before leaving, she glanced coldly at the master bedroom. She really wanted to go in and beat up Li Yuxin's parents. But thinking of what Divine Thunder had said earlier, she gave up the idea.

If they dared to cause trouble again, she would intervene in this karmic cycle and deal with them, no matter what!
