"Yes," Wei Mingshen said without hesitation.
Su Xueli joked, "Then I'll sell you one."
Wei Mingshen narrowed his peach blossom eyes, "Do I need to buy them? They're all in my room."
Su Xueli pursed her lips and didn't say anything. Another old man wearing a straw raincoat finished weaving. She took a pair of scissors, trimmed the tips of the straw, and put it on the ground.
"It looks so much like him!" Wei Mingshen exclaimed as he picked up the old man.
That unusual appearance was like that of a child.
Su Xueli just didn't understand. In her past life, she had also woven some and placed them on the bedside table, but he never even looked at them. She woven some for the child to play with, but he looked at her with disdain.
At that moment, he seemed to have discovered a treasure.
Is it really true that if you hate someone, you hate everything about them? All her good qualities are worthless in his eyes.
Just then, a few young men from the village came to play with Wei Mingshen. Su Xueli instinctively grabbed some straw to cover the woven item and told Wei Mingshen, "Take them out to play, don't bother me."
She was afraid that if they came and saw these little handicrafts, they would be furious and she would never give away her skills for free again.
Wei Mingshen quickly got up and pushed the young men out.
In one afternoon, Su Xueli wove 15 different kinds of brocade, which she laid out on the ground.
Su Xueli's fingers were numb, her back was stiff, and her buttocks ached from sitting. She yawned deeply, got up to stretch her limbs, and muttered, "I wonder if anyone knows anything about these things, and how much they can sell for."
The in-laws were full of praise for these exquisite gadgets, and they couldn't help but play with them one by one. Even Wei Mingyue, who had returned home in a huff, was attracted by them, and came over to take a look with a pout and a sullen face.
Upon seeing this, his mouth broke into a wide grin, his face brightened, and he grabbed a piglet, asking, "Sister-in-law, I was born in the Year of the Pig, can I have this piglet?"
Without waiting for a reply, he took it and walked outside.
Su Xueli couldn't tolerate this habit of hers, and said with a smile, "No, these are all one-of-a-kind. If you want me to make another one for you, please do so."
He then reached out and snatched it from her hand.
Wei Mingyue felt insulted and yelled at her with a flushed face, "It's just a tattered straw trinket! I'm doing you a favor by asking for it, don't be ungrateful!"
Su Xueli said calmly, "Then thank you for thinking so highly of me. I'm just ungrateful and don't deserve your respect."
Wei Mingyue was so choked up that she couldn't say a word.
Cao Maizi naturally scolded her daughter, "Look at you, so capable! You think you're something special? Who do you think you are? You're so arrogant. Besides, didn't your sister-in-law say she wanted to make up another one for you? What are you yelling about!"
Wei Tiezhu glanced at his daughter with a livid face and said in a sullen voice, "Get out!"
Wei Mingyue snorted and ran out.
The elderly couple spoke kindly to Su Xueli, telling her not to hold a grudge against her sister-in-law.
Su Xueli smiled and said, "Father, Mother, don't worry. As the sister-in-law, how could I hold a grudge against my younger sister? Please don't take it to heart."
Seeing their daughter-in-law's magnanimity, the elderly couple smiled at each other.
The two elders went out to educate their daughter, so Su Xueli packed these straw toys into a bag, opened the cabinet, and put them inside.
Thinking about having to accompany Wei Mingshen to the doctor tomorrow, I couldn't help but laugh—an unkind laugh.
I don't know what her parents-in-law said to her sister-in-law, but Wei Mingyue was led to Cao Maizi's room to apologize.
