Chapter 583 He really deserved it.

"Sister Li, can you keep this a secret for me?"

Su Hongmei let out a soft breath and said apologetically, "I don't want people to look at me with prejudice."

Sister Li smiled.

He said, "What are you afraid of? You work harder than them, and everyone is watching. They won't do anything to you. But if you want to hide your identity, I won't tell anyone."

"Thank you, Sister Li."

Sister Li patted her arm, "Come on, let's go in together. Everyone's waiting for you to come back with your acceptance letter to celebrate."

"real?"

Su Hongmei was delighted, her eyes crinkling with laughter.

Sister Li laughed, "Yes, we each contributed a little money, and we plan to have the chef prepare a delicious meal according to the budget. We'll celebrate for you after the restaurant closes."

"How can we let everyone spend so much money..."

Despite saying that, Su Hongmei was genuinely happy.

The people in this small restaurant all treated her well.

As the two entered the restaurant, many people winked and made faces at Su Hongmei, which Sister Li quietly scolded her with a few words.

Su Hongmei pretended not to know that everyone had prepared a surprise for her.

They were busy until the small restaurant closed. As the restaurant doors closed, the chef brought out plate after plate of dishes, including meat and vegetables, and even two bottles of fruit wine with little alcohol content.

The chef laughed and said, "I'll be working next year, so I can't drink baijiu. This fruit wine is homemade, just to satisfy everyone's cravings."

"Thank you, Chef!"

Sister Li smiled and picked up the wine, looking at Su Hongmei, "Let's all raise a glass to congratulate Comrade Su Hongmei on being admitted to the Foreign Languages ​​University. May she have a bright future and great success!"

May you achieve great success and have a bright future!

Several young people were provoked by these words and started yelling.

The young girl smiled happily, her eyes filled with envy as she looked at Su Hongmei.

After finishing one drink with everyone, Su Hongmei poured herself another, raised it, and said, "This drink is to thank you all for taking care of me over the years. Without your constant support, I might not have made it this far. Thank you all!"

The meal lasted for more than an hour. As it grew increasingly late, Sister Li jokingly scolded everyone to leave, reminding Su Hongmei to close the office door properly and be careful.

September arrived in the blink of an eye, and Su Hongmei left the small restaurant to go to university.

As soon as she entered university, she went to the cafeteria to ask if they needed any temporary workers. She could do anything, like washing vegetables or doing odd jobs. Besides class time, she spent half her time working in the cafeteria and the other half in the library, studying English texts.

I tutor on weekends and saved up money to buy myself a portable music player so I can listen to English anytime, anywhere and improve my language sense.

Tutoring does pay more than working in a restaurant, but it's not exactly an easy job.

Small restaurants offer physical labor, while tutoring is mental labor.

Both are tiring, but in different ways.

Fortunately, Su Hongmei had already developed her physical strength and endurance through years of working.

My university life was fulfilling and satisfying.

After the National Day holiday on October 1st, Li Banxia's security building was completed and put into use.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony that day made the news, and Su Youfu, who was bored out of his mind, saw it all.

Su Youfu rubbed his eyes, pointing at Li Banxia in disbelief and asking his mother, "Mom, is this Li Banxia? Where did she get so much money? She built a building?!"

"What does it matter to you whether she has money or not?"

Grandma Su rolled her eyes. "You have absolutely no connection with anyone now."

At this point, Grandma Su's heart was bleeding.

How could she have given birth to such a worthless brat?

Why not just enjoy a good life instead of getting entangled with that jinx He Taohua!

If this guy hadn't divorced Li Banxia, ​​this building would have belonged to the Su family!

With so much money, given Li Banxia's character, she'll definitely spend it on her!

Even without a big head, there will be a small head.

Now……

There's nothing there.

Su Youfu frowned and glanced at the old lady. "Mom, what you're saying isn't right. If I have nothing to do with her, how could we have four sons and two daughters?"

He clicked his tongue. "If I'd known she was so rich, Su Hongmei should have swindled her out of some money back then. That woman can't stand seeing her child suffer with me; she probably would have given it to her. What a loss..."

Grandma Su, "..."

She turned and told Su Laosan what she had said.

"Your dad has his eye on your mom's building. He thinks your mom has money but doesn't spend it on him, so he's trying to extort some money from her. Let me tell you, he's got a lot of bad ideas. Next time he sees Lin Jiefang, who knows what kind of dirty tricks that bastard might pull on your dad. You should tell your mom to be careful..."

Su Laosan felt nauseous after hearing this.

After hanging up the old lady's call, I told Su Lao Er about it when I got home for dinner that evening.

"Second brother, why don't we send the old man to the countryside? If he stays here, we'll always have to worry about him causing trouble. You know, even if someone is a thief for a thousand days, how can you guard against a thief for a thousand days? Who has the time to keep an eye on him every day? It's so annoying, it's driving us crazy."

"Um."

After a moment's thought, Su Lao Er said, "I'll figure something out, you don't need to worry about it."

"..."

Su Laosan opened his mouth as if to ask something, but swallowed the words back down.

Never mind, if his second brother doesn't want him to ask, then he won't ask.

In December, Su Youfu went to visit Lin Jiefang in the detention center. He talked to Lin Jiefang about something, and when he came back, he was in a particularly bad mood. He drank too much at a roadside restaurant and fell asleep on the roadside in the heavy snow.

He was discovered the next day and rushed to the hospital for emergency treatment.

He survived, but half of his body is paralyzed, and he's completely ruined.

Su Youfu refused to believe he had become a cripple, howling and drooling uncontrollably as he cried out.

Grandma Su felt both disgusted and sorry for him.

Even if she disliked him, he was still her own flesh and blood. While wiping his drool, she muttered, "You went to visit him in prison, but what did that brat Lin Jiefang do to you again that made you so angry that you went drinking in the snow? Fine, you drank, but don't you know it's deadly to sleep outside in this cold? I'm telling you, you're lucky you're alive. Your arms and legs are just frostbitten and can heal with some rest. Some people, however, freeze to death in the snow while they're sleeping, and they can't even save their arms and legs..."

"Mom, are you even my real mother? I almost froze to death, and you still say this to me?!"

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything to you. But tell me what happened, why did you go out drinking and sleeping in the snow?"

"Jiefang said someone in the detention center deliberately caused him trouble and physically assaulted him. He fought back, and his sentence was extended. Waaah, he was supposed to be released next year, but now it's the year after next..."

Upon hearing this, Grandma Su's eyes lit up. "Really? Then she really deserves it."

"mom!"

Su Youfu was indignant, "Why are you so happy that he can't be released? He's always treated you like his own grandmother..."

"Filial piety? How did he show me filial piety?"

Grandma Su rolled her eyes, tucking the blanket around her son as she complained, "Didn't you give him the money to buy those things? I'm spending my son's money, why should he give me any money?!"
