It was bad enough that Zhouzhou had a life marked by a constant lack of money, but to make matters worse, she had to deal with an Ancestral Master who specialized in leeching off the younger generation.
If only she hadn't shared her rits with him, she could have gotten rid of this financial curse by now.
At the thought, Zhouzhou felt even more miserable.
Ancestral Master had finished speaking and left, leaving Zhouzhou sprawled on the bed, sulking and looking thoroughly disheartened.
As she was lying there, Qin Er happened to walk past her room. Hearing the sounds from within, he knocked on the door before entering, only to find Zhouzhou in a state of utter despair. He raised an eyebrow in curiosity. "What's wrong?"
"Brother Dafu!" Zhouzhou quickly sat up, grabbing him and launching into a tirade about Ancestral Master.
"… Brother Dafu, do you think he's going too far?"
"Too far!" Qin Er nodded seriously.
It was simply outrageous. Zhouzhou did all the work, and Ancestral Master took the lion's share. What was this if not bullying a child?
Zhouzhou sighed again. "But only Ancestral Master has the ability to change my fate."
Otherwise, she would never have gone to an interdiary!
Qin Er looked confused. "But you can change fate too, can't you?"
He rembered how she had helped others change their fate in the past.
Zhouzhou shook her head. "It's not the sa. A person's destiny has countless possibilities. At any crossroads in life, the choices you make lead to different outcos. What I do is help people make better choices. But fate, the underlying fate, is born with us, and it's very difficult to change."
"For example, my lack of money—although I have a lot of rits now, it still hasn't changed, and I'm still affected by it." Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
The effect of her fate was that, even though she earned a lot of money from completing tasks, she couldn't spend it freely.
If she spent too much, the backlash would co back double.
She couldn't earn money, and she couldn't spend money. Thinking about it made her feel suffocated!
At this thought, Zhouzhou sighed deeply.
When would this curse finally change? She longed so much to be a rich woman.
Qin Er listened, only half-understanding. Seeing Zhouzhou's dejected expression, he patted her on the shoulder. "Hang in there."
Beyond that, there wasn't much he could do to help.
Zhouzhou looked up at him and sighed, a look of envy in her eyes. "Brother Dafu, you're so lucky. One day, you'll be as rich as my dad."
Hearing this, Qin Er's eyes lit up. He had always known that he was destined for wealth! Tomorrow, he'd go to change his na to "Dafu Zhaocai" (Super-Rich and Wealth-Seeking)!
However, the next day, Qin Dafu did not get his na changed. After breakfast, they all headed for the airport instead.
Well, never mind. He'd secure the benefits first.
Before the plane took off, Zhouzhou sent a ssage to Ye Lingfeng. She received a "Haha." in return. Zhouzhou then sent him a "hug" emoji.
Ye Lingfeng didn't want to argue and just sent a ssage back: "Have fun."
Zhouzhou had originally wanted to tease him more, but seeing his ssage, she felt a little guilty. "Next ti, I'll go on a trip with you, Dad."
"Or, if you're not busy these next few days, co join us!"
Ye Lingfeng snorted again. "I don't want to see Qin Lie's face."
"Alright, have fun. Don't worry about ."
With that, he stopped replying.
Zhouzhou saw that he had probably gone to work, sighed, and thought to herself: how has it been so many years, and yet, her dad and sharp-tongued dad still couldn't get along?
She had been hoping they could grow old together one day.
Sigh. Too childish!
They should have been sent to kindergarten!
With these thoughts, she turned to look at Qin Lie, who also glanced at her. Their eyes t, and he raised an eyebrow, smiling lightly. "What's wrong? Ye Lingfeng isn't coming?"
Clearly, he was in a good mood.
Zhouzhou rolled her eyes. "Dad, you're being so obvious."
"Oh." Qin Lie thought for a mont and then seriously said, "I'm petty."
Zhouzhou stared at him, completely speechless.
Great. She would send them to kindergarten!
At their age, still acting so childish.
Zhouzhou flipped her eyes upward and muttered, "Immature, very immature!"
Qin Lie heard her and couldn't help but chuckle softly.
He was only like this around her.
anwhile, Qin Bei and the others, sitting behind them, exchanged a glance, silently mocking.
They didn't expect their "cool" uncle to be like this!
Usually so aloof and distant, but when it ca to Zhouzhou, he was completely different. Talk about double standards!
The twins, Qin Nan and Qin Bei, were as close as ever and instantly picked up on each other's thoughts. Qin Nan imdiately moved to the side, clearly disgusted by the whole situation.
Was this news to him? What kind of brain did he have!
Plastic surgery, plastic surgery—this guy was clearly too chicken to get a gender change. In the end, he'd still have to rely on himself to take care of things!
It was frustrating!
His fate really sucked—he had the sa face as this guy! Next ti, before reincarnating, he'd definitely ask Zhouzhou for a charm to make sure he didn't get stuck with this face again.
This was the kind of fate he had to just suck up to for now!
He closed his eyes and decided to ignore Qin Bei, sinking into sleep.
The others yawned and followed suit.
By the ti they landed, three hours had passed.
As soon as they arrived in South City, Zhouzhou felt the air was noticeably fresher.
Unlike the tall buildings of Jing City, the buildings here were shorter, and the landscape was filled with mountains and rivers. It had a unique charm.
In recent years, because of the beautiful natural scenery, the place had also gained popularity, with many tourists visiting.
After checking into the hotel, Zhouzhou quickly put down her things and rushed downstairs in excitent.
However, as soon as she stepped outside, Qin Lie grabbed her by the back of her shirt and yanked her back.
She slamd to a halt and turned to look at him with a sweet smile. "Dad."
There was no need to ask—she was definitely heading for food.
Qin Lie said, "Let's go across the street. There's a snack street."
At this, Zhouzhou's eyes imdiately lit up. A fancy restaurant could never compare to a small snack shop!
Besides, all the local eateries were thriving. Any restaurant that didn't taste good would have already shut down.
Qin Lie had specifically chosen this hotel. It was peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle, yet near the snack street, so Zhouzhou would love it.
Sure enough, Zhouzhou was thrilled. She grabbed his arm excitedly, and they walked outside, calling the others along.
Grandpa Qin and Grandma Qin, exhausted from the flight, decided to rest in the hotel. The uncles and aunts were too lazy to go out, so in the end, it was just Qin Lie who took a few of the kids out.
Zhouzhou and Qin Bei rushed to the front. Before long, both of them had their hands full with snacks, happily munching away with greasy mouths.
Qin Er tried so too and asked the shopkeeper, "Do you sell the recipe for this?"
This flavor was sothing he hadn't found in Jing City. If he opened a specialty restaurant, he could make a small profit from it.
Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou looked up at him with admiration.
Brother Dafu was amazing!
She only cared about eating, but Brother Dafu was always able to spot business opportunities everywhere. He was so clever!
It was definitely because he had been hanging out with Sixth Brother that he'd beco so smart!
At the thought, Zhouzhou imdiately moved farther away from Qin Bei.
Seeing this, Qin Bei's face imdiately puffed up.
"What's going on? What do you an by this?"
Before he could protest, a voice suddenly cried out, "Brother Qin Bei?!"
