"I...I..."
Zhao Meilan just went along with Zhou Yuting's words. As for whether she would go looking for trouble, she didn't care. Anyway, it wasn't her reputation that would be ruined, so why should she tell her?
Zhou Yuting looked at Su Li in astonishment. "What do you mean?"
“It’s not terrible to be stupid; what’s terrible is to be stupid without realizing it. Zhang Xia got into the university because of her own ability.”
This was the first time Zhou Yuting had been called stupid; her face turned red and her neck bulged. "Su Li, don't go too far!"
"That's going too far. When you suspect others, don't you think it's going too far? You can't even tell the difference between people and ghosts around you, yet you have the nerve to suspect others. You'll be betrayed sooner or later."
"Su Li! Who are you cursing? I treat Tingting like a sister, don't talk nonsense here."
Upon hearing Su Li's words, Zhao Meilan felt very guilty and immediately became anxious.
She knew Su Li was a ticking time bomb, and things couldn't continue like this. It seemed the plan needed to be brought forward.
"Su Li, how Mei Lan treats me is none of your business. She's at least better than you."
Although she had a bit of a spoiled princess attitude, Zhao Meilan had been by her side these past few days and had helped her a lot. Although she was a bit greedy and unhygienic, overall she was still good to her, and she knew exactly how to maintain a proper distance from those she was close to.
Su Li rolled her eyes. "Idiot, if that's what you want to think, so be it!"
After saying that, Su Li went back to her room.

After finishing his exams in the morning, Lu Huai took Ya Ya and Xiao Hu to the town hospital for checkups in the afternoon.
Ya Ya's results came back quickly; she was in good health, though slightly malnourished.
Xiao Hu's results were delayed, and he was genuinely worried.
Half an hour later, the doctor called him into his office.
"The child has a cyst in his lung and needs surgery."
Lu Huai never expected that Xiao Hu would develop such a problem at such a young age.
"Doctor, how much will the surgery cost?"
“The hospital in our town can’t perform this surgery right now. You’ll have to go to the city. I suggest you prepare at least one hundred yuan.”
"One hundred yuan?"
"right"
But he didn't even have fifty yuan in his hand. He hesitated and looked at the doctor, "When is the latest he can have surgery?"
"If you don't get treatment within a year, it's very likely to get worse."
Fortunately, a year was enough time for him to save up the money.
"Thank you, doctor. I understand. Could you please prescribe some medication to prevent my condition from worsening?"
"Actually, taking medicine won't do much good. You should save up enough money as soon as possible and have the surgery done."
Okay, thank you.
Lu Huai took his younger siblings back to the village; he really wanted to go find Su Li.
He wanted to ask her how she knew the child would get sick; he always felt like she knew something in advance.
In the end, I resisted the urge to act impulsively. My priority now is to save enough money as soon as possible to take Xiaohu to the city for medical treatment.
After the doctor's visit, Lu Huai took the two men directly to Su Li's house.
Ever since Su Li mentioned that his cousin's uncle wanted to kidnap his younger siblings, he has been worried about leaving them at home.
The kitchen is almost finished, there are just some finishing touches, which we can get done today.
We can fix up the kitchen for Su Li tomorrow.
When Su Li saw Ya Ya and Xiao Hu, she picked two apples from the apple tree in her space, washed them, and handed them to the two little ones.
The two little ones both looked at their older brother, showing that they were well-mannered.
Lu Huai glanced at the two large apples in Su Li's hand and said, "Su Li, they can't eat this much. Just cut one in half."
Su Li handed each of them an apple, saying, "Take these from your sister."
Thank you, sister.
"Thank you, beautiful lady."
Su Li pinched Ya Ya's cheek; "So cute. We're having dinner at your sister's house today. Let's invite Grandma over too. I'll make braised pork for you, okay?"
She knew that in this day and age, the thing everyone craved most was braised pork.
I was thinking of giving the two little ones some extra nutrition.
"Really, sister? I love meat the most."
Lu Huai chuckled upon hearing his sister's voice. "Who doesn't love meat these days? This little girl really says everything."
"Then let's make more, sister, so Ya Ya can get her money's worth today, okay?"
"Sister, you're so kind. Ya Ya likes you."
"Haha, our Yaya has such a sweet tongue! I like you too."
Su Li noticed that Xiao Hu rarely spoke. She wondered if he was feeling unwell and didn't want to talk, or if he was just naturally quiet.
Not as lively as Ya Ya, and thinking of his illness, Su Li poured two bowls of water, added some brown sugar and two drops of spiritual spring water, and called out to the little ones, "Ya Ya, Little Tiger, come and drink a bowl of brown sugar water."
Hearing the voice, Lu Huai looked towards Su Li and saw that her eyebrows and eyes were gentle, and the smile at the corner of her eyes was truly tender.
This moment stirred a ripple in his heart.
That evening, Su Li prepared a table full of dishes and asked Lu Huai to invite his grandmother and Gou Sheng over so that everyone could eat together.
The meal was very lively.
After the meal, Lu Huai took his grandmother and the two children back home and told Gou Sheng to stay home and watch over them for a while.
So he went to Su Li's house again, wanting to talk to her alone.
"I'm going to teach at the village primary school tomorrow. I think we should deal with the matter of my cousin that you mentioned last time as soon as possible."
Su Li nodded; "There's no such thing as being able to guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief for a thousand days. What do you want to do? Do you need my help?"
"Yes, tomorrow, you'll need to do this..."
"good"
After explaining everything, Lu Huai went back.
The next morning, Su Li ate breakfast, made two meat buns, and went to the educated youth settlement to find Chen Shengnan.
There were quite a few people at the educated youth settlement in the morning, some cooking, some washing up.
When Su Li arrived at the educated youth settlement, several educated youth sized her up.
Su Li greeted them generously, "I'm here to see Chen Shengnan."
Before Su Li could even reach the dormitory, a female educated youth shouted loudly to the back of the room, "Chen Shengnan, someone is looking for you."
Chen Shengnan came out quickly and pulled Su Li into the dormitory.
"Su Li, what brings you here? Is something the matter?"
"Here's the thing, you don't need to go to work today. Let's go up the mountain together to cook for the soldiers."
"Does the brigade leader agree to this? The weather is going to get cold soon, and I heard that the harvest of vegetables in the fields started today. We'll be busy for a while."
"It was the brigade leader who spoke to me. I brought you two steamed buns. After you finish eating, we'll go to the brigade leader's place together. There are two other women coming with us."
Su Li handed the steamed bun to Chen Shengnan, who accepted it without hesitation and started eating.
As soon as Jiang Meifang entered, she smelled the aroma of meat buns. She swallowed hard and watched Chen Shengnan eat them with gusto, a flash of jealousy crossing her eyes.
No need to guess, it must be the meat bun that Su Li gave her.
This Su Li is really generous. She smiled at Su Li and said, "Comrade Su, are you here to ask Sheng Nan to go to work together?"
