Quick Transmigration: Striving Every Day to Overcome Tribulation
Chapter 53 The Heroine's Sister in the Novel "Talented Scholar and Beautiful Woman"
Summer is always unbearably hot, and the air seems to be filled with a stuffy atmosphere.
The cicadas hanging high on the branches chirped tirelessly, their sharp and continuous sounds like fine needles, pricking at one's heart and making one feel extremely irritable.
The occasional arguments coming from the study were incredibly irritating, as if countless ants were crawling all over my mind.
Su Su quietly leaned against the railing, holding fish food in her hand, and slowly fed the koi in the lake.
The brightly colored koi carp vied for the food, stirring up splashes of water that shimmered in the sunlight.
Su Su squinted slightly, feeling the cool breeze on her face, and felt very comfortable.
"Speaking of which, what's so good about a poor scholar?" she murmured softly, her gaze still fixed on the koi swimming happily. "Just like these fish! They fight tooth and nail for that meager amount of food. It's unimaginable for those who are used to a life of luxury to suddenly experience poverty."
Su Su gently shook her head, a faint smile appearing on her lips. Then she grabbed a handful of fish food and gently scattered it into the lake. Watching the koi carp happily gather around again, her thoughts gradually drifted away.
In this small world, the female protagonist is Su Su's older sister, Su Lin. As the eldest daughter of a prominent family in Jiangnan, she can have whatever she wants, and it seems that there is nothing in the world that she cannot obtain.
However, she fell in love at first sight with a poor scholar and became deeply entangled in him, even to the point of wanting to marry no one but him.
The poor scholar is Cheng Yunqi, the male protagonist. As he travels, he is surrounded by beautiful women who are devoted to him. There is his childhood sweetheart, a gentle and lovely young lady from a noble family, and a talented courtesan, among others.
He was never short of women around him, and it wasn't just the female lead, Su Lin, who was by his side.
But Su Lin was the one who contributed the most and was the most love-struck, and her family was also the most supportive.
So after many twists and turns, the male and female protagonists still achieved a happy ending.
As for Su Su, she is the younger sister of the female protagonist, Su Lin. In this story, the two sisters have drastically different fates. Their brother, Su Xuan, has inherited the Su family business and dotes on Su Lin the most.
Unlike the female lead Su Lin, who survived to the end, Su Su and Su Xuan both became cannon fodder.
In fact, the ending was already clear the moment Su Xuan agreed.
If you continue to cut off, you will be subject to chaos.
When Su Lin went on a hunger strike, it was Su Xuan who eventually gave in, allowing Su Lin to have a grand wedding.
In fact, as long as Su Xuan was around, the Su family wouldn't have fallen into Su Lin's hands.
After all, no matter how much Su Xuan dotes on his younger sister, he still has to consider the feelings of the rest of the family.
However, not long after Su Lin's marriage, on the day of her return visit to her parents' home on the third day after her marriage, Su Xuan met Cheng Yunqi and inexplicably began to trust him, even handing over most of the family's power to the male protagonist, Cheng Yunqi.
Despite opposition from others, Su Xuan declared that he would have no children and that the family business would be inherited by Su Lin's children.
The elders, of course, would not agree.
Even if a child from a collateral branch cannot be chosen as the heir, Miss Su can still find a husband to marry into the family, so at least the child will have the surname Su.
Moreover, Su Su's mother's family will also provide assistance.
In fact, Su Lin and Su Xuan were born to the same mother, but their mother died from severe bleeding when Su Lin was born.
Later, a second wife was born, who was Su Su's mother.
However, Su Xuan is in charge of the family, and his stepmother does not usually live in the ancestral home, but lives outside under the guise of praying for blessings.
Su Xuan naturally stood firmly on the side of his younger sister, Su Lin.
Faced with strong opposition from the clan elders, Su Xuan finally negotiated with them and agreed to compromise, deciding that Su Lin's first child would take the surname Su.
This compromise seems to have temporarily quelled the internal family disputes.
However, while the male protagonist Cheng Yunqi outwardly agreed readily, his face darkened behind the scenes.
He was filled with dissatisfaction with this arrangement, believing it to be a form of constraint and control over him, or even a sign of looking down on him.
As time went on, Cheng Yunqi, with the power granted to him by Su Xuan, almost completely took control of the Su family.
Meanwhile, Su Xuan was attacked by bandits and hacked to death. The cruel bandits cut his body into pieces and fed them to their dogs.
Upon learning the news, Su Su was devastated and resolutely decided to collect her brother's body.
Seeing her brother's miserable state, Su Su felt a burning ambition in her heart. She wanted to seize the family property and avenge her brother.
However, Su Lin fully supported Cheng Yunqi, choosing love over family.
But fate seemed particularly cruel to her. During one of her outings, Su Su had bad luck and, like her brother, encountered bandits.
With nowhere else to turn, she jumped off a cliff, ending her young life.
The entire Su family was eventually driven out, and their vast fortune was taken over by Cheng Yunqi.
Su Su arrived at this crucial juncture, precisely when Su Lin was insisting on marrying no one but him.
But Su Su wouldn't stop her.
It would be so much better to let the two of them live a life of poverty together!
She came here today only to watch the show.
Moreover, the so-called argument between the two in the study was indeed just like before, nothing more than Su Lin being silly and insisting on marrying Cheng Yunqi.
According to the timeline, Su Lin will be confined to the courtyard by Su Xuan to reflect on her actions.
But this time was different. Su Lin suddenly flung open the door, her face flushed with anger, and shouted, "Brother, my heart is now completely devoted to Cheng Lang, and I can never let go of him in this lifetime. If I cannot marry Cheng Lang, I would rather cut my hair and spend the rest of my life in a nunnery."
Her eyes were full of stubbornness and determination, as if she would not give up until she achieved her goal.
Su Xuan slowly closed his eyes, as if trying to suppress the turmoil in his heart.
A moment later, he stared straight at Su Lin, his gaze filled with a complex mix of emotions: helplessness, heartache, and a hint of barely perceptible resolve.
His previously indifferent expression suddenly softened, but this softening carried a deep weariness.
"Since that's the case, then marry me if you want!" Su Xuan's voice trembled slightly. "But from now on, you will no longer be the eldest daughter of the Su family, no longer my sister, but Cheng Yunqi's wife."
Su Lin stopped abruptly as she stepped out the door, her face filled with astonishment and disbelief.
She had imagined that even if her brother was angry, he would eventually soften and agree to the marriage, but she never expected it to turn out like this. There was clearly a better outcome, so why was her brother so heartless?
An overwhelming sense of grievance and confusion welled up in her heart, her eyes gradually reddened, and tears welled up in her eyes.
She opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but found that her throat seemed to be blocked, and she couldn't utter a single word.
She stared blankly at Su Xuan, as if waiting for him to take back his words, but Su Xuan just stood there quietly, his expression firm and resolute.
