Chapter 120: One Way
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Su Qing explained, “He just wants to make the acting appear more realistic…”
Seeing Su Ning’s tears, she couldn’t bear it. “So, you have to endure being beaten during your performances. Fourth Brother, why don’t you just quit the show?”
Third Brother didn’t approve of it, but Fourth Brother was determined to pursue acting.
Su Qing nodded. “Yes, I’ve decided not to return to the theater.”
Su Ning smiled in relief. “Really? That’s wonderful!”
However, Su Cheng could sense that something was still bothering Su Qing, so he asked her to join him in the study.
“Fourth Brother, what’s really going on?” he inquired.
Su Qing proceeded to recount the whole story.
Hearing this, Su Ping’s anger ignited, and he slammed the table with fury as if he could spit fire.
“That despicable scoundrel! How dare he lay a finger on my Fourth Brother!”
“I’ll find someone to teach him a lesson by chopping his manhood off!”
“And the troupe’s owner too!”
But Su Qing tried to persuade him. “Second Brother, don’t act impulsively. Zhang is aware that many people wish him harm. Whenever he goes out, he’s surrounded by over ten thugs, and he has layers of guards at his home. If we seek revenge, it might put you at a disadvantage.”
“Third Sister-in-law said she won’t forgive those two wicked individuals!”
“The county office is gathering evidence of their crimes, and they will be punished.”
Gradually, Su Ping managed to calm himself down.
If it had been Qin Zhenzhen who told him about this, he would have believed her and agreed not to seek revenge privately. He wasn’t sure if he could succeed in taking revenge, and he realized he had been quite foolish in the past, thinking he was capable of anything.
He realized that he wasn’t as skilled at teaching people a lesson as Qin Zhenzhen, even when dealing with someone like Qin Silong, who treated him as an enemy.
Su Qing mentioned that Qin Silong could take down one thug from the troupe without caring about the dozens of other men in the group.
Su Ping patted his fourth brother’s shoulders rea.s.suringly. “That’s a good decision! You can let go of the idea of joining the troupe. It’s for the best!” Then, Su Qing shared what Qin Zhenzhen had said about finding herbs for him.
Finally, Su Qing explained his plan.
“I want to learn from Third Sister-in-law, and she has agreed to teach me.” Su Ping showed a surprised smile. “She really agreed?”
Su Qing nodded. “Yes, but she doesn’t want to accept any gift from me. I’m worried that after she divorces Third Brother, our families will become estranged..
“Second Brother, do you have any ideas to make Third Brother keep Third Sister-in-law?”
This question gave him a headache.
“The problem is that not only does your Third Brother dislike Third Sister-in-law, but she also dislikes him!”
They seemed to harbor mutual animosity, and it was challenging to find a solution.
But Su Qing had an idea. “Don’t tell Third Brother about me leaving the troupe. I’ll tell him that if he treats Third Sister-in-law well, I’ll leave the show voluntarily!”
Su Ping shook his head. “That won’t work! You know your Third Brother well.
He doesn’t respond well to threats.”
“If you approach it that way, he might misunderstand that Third Sister-in-law made some deal with you.”
“And with anger in mind, he might divorce your Third Sister-in-law immediately.”
Su Qing had no choice but cry out.
“I will talk with Fifth Brother and Sixth Sister and see if they have any other ideas.”
Su Ping convinced him. “We can talk about this after your Third Brother finishes the examination.’
“If your Third Brother makes it to Cultivated Talent, I am sure he will be grateful to your Third Sister-in-law..”
