“If I tell you that the person that taught me doesn’t allow me to reveal his name, would you believe me?”
Su Qing was startled. Then he said, “I believe you. I shouldn’t have asked this question.”
But then he asked worriedly, “Third Sister-in-law, does he have a rule that forbids you from teaching others?” Qin Zhenzhen smiled. “No.”
Su Qing heaved a sigh of relief.
“That is great! Third Sister-in-law, as long as you accept me as your disciple, I will definitely be able to learn it!”
Qin Zhenzhen said casually, “I already said that if you want to learn, I will definitely teach you.’
But what she had not expected was that Su Qing wanted to kneel on the ground and greet her.
Qin Zhenzhen helped him up.
“You don’t have to give me this kind of greetings.”
She was a modern person and she was not interested in this kind of manners.
“Why?”
Su Qing suddenly thought of the reason why Third Sister-in-law wanted to divorce Third Brother. So he asked.
“Third Sister-in-law, is it because you want to divorce Third Brother, so you don’t want to accept me as the disciple?”
Qin Zhenzhen shook her head. “That is not the reason. But I want to ask you one thing. You liked acting, didn’t you? Why did you suddenly change your mind?”
She didn’t like young people who were always fickle.
“Actually, there is more than one theater in the world. The owners of the troupes are not all disgusting people.”
Oh that was the reason…. As Su Qing thought.
“Since I was a child, my dream has always been to study medicine.
Unfortunately, my family couldn’t afford it, and neither could I,” he said.
“At the age of 10, I became enamored with opera,” he continued.
“There was a traveling troupe that set up a tent in our town to perform operas. We boys were invited to sing on stage, and the troupe owner praised my voice and looks, saying I had great potential to become famous in the world of opera.”
“But back then, I didn’t have the courage to leave home, and my parents wouldn’t have allowed it either. Otherwise, I would have left with the opera
company.’
“After my parents passed away, our family’s financial situation got worse, and that’s when I decided to join Feihong Theater, thinking that I could easily earn money by acting.”
“However, I never expected to run into something like this. Boss Zhang offered me a lot of money if I followed his instructions, but I refused to comply.” “I thought that by turning down Boss Zhang, everything would be fine. But he set me up for money…”
“Now I understand why Third Brother didn’t want me to join the acting class, and I will never consider it again.”
“He’d rather I stay at home and do farm work,” he added with determination. Qin Zhenzhen nodded understandingly, saying, “I see.”
It seemed that he had learned his lesson the hard way. And that was because he had a very pretty face.
“In any case, if you truly want to learn, I will be more than willing to teach you.
However, I won’t accept such grand gestures of greeting.”
At that moment, the three siblings gathered yams and headed back home.
With that, Qin Zhenzhen concluded the conversation.
Seeing Fourth Brother return home, Su Ning ran over with joy.
“Fourth Brother, what brings you here?” she asked.
However, her joy quickly turned to shock when she noticed the bloodstains on Su Qing’s hands and feet, causing her to scream, “Ah! Fourth Brother, who did this to you?”
Su Qing had to apply medicinal juice to the wounds, and as a result, her pants and sleeves were rolled up high, making the injuries visible to Su Ning.
Su Cheng and Su Qing also came to see what was happening.
Not wanting her siblings to know the real truth about what happened, Su Qing decided to come up with a lie. “I got slapped by someone while I was acting. They used a bit too much force.”
Su Ning felt a mix of heartache and anger.. “How could someone dare to hit you like that?”
