Chapter 498 is pretty good.

"As society develops and technology advances, knowledge, culture, and academic qualifications will become increasingly important, and the city's requirements in this regard will also increase year by year."

Xu Ying patiently advised him, "Su Min'an, study hard. Ten years from now, when you look back, you will definitely thank yourself and me."

Su Lao Er looked up, met her gaze, and smiled.

He said, "I know, I just feel like I've had these things for a while, maybe..."

"What could it be?"

Although Su Lao Er's face looks the same as Su Lao Da's, their temperaments are completely different.

Su Laoda is the gentle and refined type who exudes a scholarly air.

Su Lao Er's eyebrows were sharp, his eyes were gloomy, and when his thin lips were pursed, they were like a drawn blade, gleaming coldly, giving people a feeling of being unapproachable.

But when he smiles, he has an attractive magic that makes you want to focus on him.

"...I might need to brush up on my junior high school knowledge as well." Su Lao Er blinked and coughed twice tactically.

Xu Ying, "..."

The pink bubble that had just started to form burst with a pop.

Xu Ying even doubted whether Su Lao Er would be able to get into university.

She sighed softly and said, "I'll go back and look for it for you. Take a look at these first."

Xu Ying had just left when Su Laosan opened the door and came in.

Seeing Su Lao Er staring blankly at his textbook, he peeked over with his eyes darting around and asked, "Second Brother, can't you just be a good soldier? Why do you have to go to university? Is it that easy to get into university?"

Su Lao Er glanced at him.

Su Laosan got even more excited, "You tell me, neither of us has the brains of our eldest brother and Su Xiaosi, how could we possibly pass the exam?"

What do you know?

Su Lao Er's brows furrowed deeply, and he licked his back teeth. "I absolutely have to go to this university!"

Su Laosan curled his lip.

He replied dismissively, "Alright, alright, go ahead and test me! Hey, what were you whispering about with Sister Yingzi in the room when you sent me away? I saw that she didn't look too happy when she left."

"She doesn't look well?" Su Lao Er looked over.

Su Laosan nodded, "Yes, Second Brother, they're kindly tutoring you out of respect for Mom. Don't be ungrateful..."

Su Lao Er opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

He said, "It's nothing."

Seeing that he was unwilling to say more, Su Laosan didn't press him. Thinking about Cui Yuxia's matter, he said to Su Laoer, "I'll go back later and find someone to investigate Cui Yuxia and her brother, to see what's going on with her, and who is that guy surnamed Fang on the note? Trying to shit on our brothers' heads, I'll shove him in her mouth! Oh, right..."

He lifted his foot, pushed the chair next to the bed aside, and plopped down on it.

"...Second brother, that little girl the caregiver mentioned who slipped notes, doesn't she look a bit like Su Hongmei?"

"Su Hongmei?" Su Lao Er frowned. "Would she be so kind as to remind us?"

Su Laosan clicked his tongue.

He said, "That brat really inherited Su Youfu's bad genes tenfold, but she still has a tiny bit of conscience. When you needed blood for your surgery, didn't I ask my cousin to notify the people in the shops to come to the hospital to donate blood for a fee? That girl came too."

Su Lao Er glanced at him.

"Are you sure she's not after the money?" he asked.

Su Laosan grinned and said, "I saw her upstairs. She kept staring at the operating room where you had your surgery. If she was really after the money, she wouldn't have stayed for so long. My older brother saw her too. I even went downstairs to the information desk to ask. The nurse said that when that brat was asking about you, her face was as white as snow, and she told the nurse that she was the patient's sister."

Su Laosan's eyes were smiling; he looked very happy.

Su Lao Er was stunned for a moment.

Su Laosan added, "Oh, and also, Hongying heard from Uncle Jiang that you had surgery and was worried that we didn't have enough money, so she specially sent you some money. I just received a call before I came, saying that it will arrive in the next couple of days and I should pick it up for you."

Su Lao Er was momentarily dazed.

When they came to their senses, they heard Su Laosan grumbling and cursing Su Xiaosi.

"...Third Uncle doesn't show his face when he's in trouble, and he pretends not to know when you're in trouble. That brat thinks he's so smart that he looks down on everyone and doesn't respect us older brothers. Don't wait until he's begging us for help! Second Brother, you're not allowed to talk to him then either, understand?"

Looking at Su Lao San, Su Lao Er felt that this vibrant younger brother was completely different from the lazy, unambitious, and indifferent Su Lao San in his memory.

Also with...

The third son in my dream, who yelled, "If you don't care about Mom, I won't either. I have three sons to buy houses and get married. I don't have time." He didn't care whether Mom lived or died, and his despicable face was different.

The third son didn't marry Fang Erniu, and the Fang family didn't leech off his mother like Hongying's in-laws did.

fine.

"Second Brother?!"

Su Laosan waved his hand in front of Su Laoer's eyes, "What are you thinking about? I called you twice and you didn't hear me."

Su Lao Er shook his head, "I'm wondering when Su Xiao Si will come to his senses."

"he?"

Su Laosan scoffed, "He's not awake! In his eyes, none of us are as good as him. He'd love to trample us under his feet. Awake? Maybe in his next life."

The two brothers chatted for a while, mostly Su Laosan talking, with Su Laoer occasionally chiming in. Only when the caregiver knocked on the door and returned did Su Laosan leave with the large food box.

Before leaving, he told the caregiver, "Please be careful and don't let strangers into my second brother's ward."

The caregiver smiled and assured him that she would keep a very close watch on the animals and not let a single fly in.

The group took precautions for two days, but nothing happened.

The caregiver said, "Could this be a prank? Why would that little girl do that?"

Su Laosan frowned.

He felt that Su Hongmei shouldn't have this quirk. Judging from the feedback he received from his cousin and the people at the restaurant, Su Hongmei's interactions with others were quite normal.

He shook his head. "It shouldn't be. There's always a moment of calm before the storm. It's better to be vigilant."

“…Okay,” the nurse replied with a smile.

Two more days passed. Su Laosan received a call to go to the post office to collect money. The caregiver was eating at the nurses' station. Only Su Laoer and Xu Ying were in the ward.

As a result, during the meal, Xu Ying accidentally dropped a piece of braised pork onto her white cotton coat and hurriedly stood up to go to the restroom to deal with it.

Just as I was rubbing my hands, the ward door was suddenly opened and then slammed shut.

"Cui Yuxia? Who let you in? Get out!"

Cui Yuxia had finally managed to rush in when the caregiver wasn't around, so how could she leave so easily? She glanced around but didn't see Su Laosan, only Su Laoer lying on the hospital bed. She hesitated for a moment.

Su Lao Er's face darkened. "Did you hear me? Get out!"

“Brother Min’an, I was wrong. After we broke up, I realized that the person I liked was you…”
