After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me

The moment Li Yuxin's mother heard the words "stepping on the sewing machine", she shuddered and became completely silent, not daring to say another word.

Zhouzhou's expression immediately hardened, and she snapped, "Get lost! If you dare cause trouble again, I'll have you lock you in for dozens of years, and you'll never see Li Yu'an buy a house, car, or get married!"

Li Yu'an, hiding in the crowd, looked aggrieved. He hadn't done anything wrong.

But Zhouzhou didn't care.

Since he was benefiting, he might as well take the blame.

With a smile, she turned to Li Yuxin's mother, saying, "How about I have your favorite Mr. Yin to send you there?"

Yin Shao!

Upon hearing this name, Li Yuxin's mother trembled, her face filled with terror as she looked at Zhouzhou.

That lawyer again!

For years, she'd had nightmares about him. Especially a few years ago, when she picked up her child after school, she'd see Zhouzhou, and that night, she'd dream of Yin Shao taking her to court just because she had stepped forward with her left foot. That dream haunted her.

Although she had thought she had grown used to it over the years, hearing that name again still scared her to the point of almost wetting her pants.

Her legs gave out, and she fell to the ground.

Zhouzhou watched her collapse and didn't hesitate to sit on the ground as well, clutching her chest and saying, "Hurry up and leave! I have heart disease. If you say one more word, I'll have an attack, and Uncle Yin will sue you!"

Li Yuxin's mother had been about to speak, but after hearing that, she quickly covered her mouth, terrified that Yin Shao might really drag her away and sentence her to death.

She scrambled away in fear, running as fast as she could.

Zhouzhou stood up, dusted herself off, and sneered. She didn't even need to step in herself, just being there had already shut down the scene.

Li Yuxin was left stunned, watching as her usually untouchable, unruly mother, who could even scare the principal, was driven off by just a few words from Zhouzhou.

But this was nothing new. Zhouzhou had always been a nightmare for her family.

But for Li Yuxin, she was her light.

Unable to hold back, Li Yuxin threw her arms around Zhouzhou. "Zhouzhou, thank you."

Zhouzhou waved her off, "Don't be polite with me. If she dares come back, just let me know, and I'll handle it."

Li Yuxin thought for a moment, then said, "She probably won't dare anymore."

Yin Shao's pressure on her mother was still quite effective.

At least she could hold her off for a month.

As for Zhouzhou, she wasn't afraid. Even if her mother showed up once a month, it wouldn't matter much. As long as she stopped causing trouble for Yuxin, that was enough.

Suddenly, Zhouzhou's eyes narrowed as she looked at Li Yu'an. "Why are you still standing there?"

Li Yu'an immediately bent down and walked over, first bowing to Zhouzhou before looking at Li Yuxin with concern. "Sister, how have you been lately?"

Li Yuxin gave him a complicated look.

Li Yu'an quickly reassured her, "I'm nothing like Mom. She's one thing, and I'm another. I've never thought about relying on you to buy me a house or a car. If I'm useless, at most, I'd just live off Dad, but I'd never ask you for anything."

Hearing this, Li Yuxin's face softened a little.

Honestly, it made her feel a bit better.

At least she wasn't completely abandoned by everyone. That feeling had been unbearable.

She looked at Li Yu'an and said, "I know, I don't blame you."

Li Yu'an finally sighed in relief.

Then, he quickly took out a card and handed it to her. "Sister, take this and pay for your tuition. Don't worry about working right now. Just focus on studying. This year, I owe you. In the future, I'll make it up to you. Focus on your studies, don't let this affect you, or I won't be able to make it right."

Before Li Yuxin could protest, Li Yu'an shoved the card into her pocket, then backed away, determined not to give her a chance to return it.

Li Yuxin stared at him, her heart warming a little.

Zhouzhou said, "Just take it. He's sincere. If you don't, it'll make him uncomfortable."

Li Yu'an nodded eagerly. "Exactly, Sister! If you don't take it, I swear I won't get married!"

He didn't want to get married, but he could certainly offer himself up for marriage!

Thanks to Qin Er, he'd been able to broaden his horizons recently.

Li Yuxin couldn't help but laugh at his words, then, after a moment of consideration, she accepted the card. "I'll treat this as a loan, and I'll pay you back later."

"Okay, that works." Li Yu'an didn't refuse. In his opinion, with his sister's abilities, she'd surely do great things in the future. A few thousand yuan wasn't much.

More importantly, she needed the money now to get through this rough patch.

Even though it wasn't enough to cover all of her tuition fees, Li Yuxin didn't mention it.

A few thousand yuan was already a huge help and relieved a lot of her pressure.

She was truly grateful to him—not just for the money, but for the sentiment.

Zhouzhou nodded in approval. "Well, at least this kid has some conscience, and he's not so bad."

She handed Li Yu'an a talisman. "Here, take it. A little reward for you."

Everyone knew that Zhouzhou understood metaphysics, and her talismans were rare and valuable. Chang Beibei, Huo Ji'an and others often got them.

However, Li Yu'an had never received one because of his poor first impression.

Now, he stared at it in surprise, his hands cupped around the talisman, eyes wide with excitement.

Suddenly, panic flickered in his eyes. "Zhouzhou, why are you giving me this? Does this mean I'm going to have bad luck?"

Zhouzhou nodded. "It's not a big deal, just a little bit of bloodshed, some injuries to your bones for about a hundred days. Just avoid crowded places and don't get involved in anything unnecessary today."

Injuries to bones? That didn't sound serious at all!

Li Yu'an's eyes widened in alarm.

Immediately, he clutched the talisman to his chest, nodding vigorously. "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, I promise!"

Zhouzhou waved him off, "Go on, I need to talk to Yuxin."

Li Yu'an, eager to avoid further trouble, quickly left with the talisman in hand.

Li Yuxin watched his retreating figure and asked, "Zhouzhou, is his injury really not serious?"

"It's nothing. Don't worry, he'll just be accidentally injured while watching the spectacle. As long as he stays away from trouble, he'll be fine."

Li Yuxin paused for a moment, her expression blank. "What a weird way to get hurt."

But honestly, it sounded like something he'd do.

She couldn't help but smile a little.

Looking at the card in her hand, warmth spread through her heart.

He might not be reliable, but at least he had a good heart.

"Thank you, Zhouzhou." She sincerely said as she squeezed her hand.

Zhouzhou smiled. "Don't be so polite. You know, naughty kids? They just need a good beating."

Li Yu'an was a perfect example.

As long as they got a good beating, any naughty kid could turn around.

If they didn't change, well, that just meant they hadn't been beaten enough.

Just as Zhouzhou finished speaking, a light snort came from above her head.

"So, you didn't get beaten enough as a kid, which is why you're so naughty now, huh?"
