"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Li Erniu's wife trembled in fright, then pressed a finger on Li Erniu's head: "I told you not to talk nonsense, saying whatever comes to mind. Now look what happened!"
Li Erniu scratched his head helplessly: "How would I know?"
Lu Tu urged, "Hurry up!"
Li Erniu's wife then came to the other end of the crane, lay down between the two ropes, and looked at Lü Tu with a worried expression: "Sir, I was just talking nonsense with my husband, please don't punish me."
Lu Tu Chong beckoned to Li Erniu: "Come here and lift your wife up!"

Li Erniu was surprised to find that he could lift his wife, whom he usually couldn't even lift, with just one hand.
Upon seeing this, the crowd exclaimed in surprise, "Li Erniu has become a strongman too?"
"What? That mechanism set up by Lord Lü has a story behind it!"
"So, if we use this mechanism, we can become super strong every now and then? Then we won't have to work so hard carrying logs anymore!"
