Wei Mingshen smirked, "Then you should die."
"Ah, this..." The group looked at each other in bewilderment.
He looked at the rope on the ground, bent down to pick it up, and said to the old locust tree in the yard, "Everyone is so disrespectful to the old lady. It is the old lady's freedom to want to die. Why can't you let her do what she wants?"
In this way, I will see the old woman off, help her tie the noose, and let her die peacefully.
Then, in full view of everyone, he swung the rope, draped it over a thick branch of the old locust tree, pulled it, tied a knot, and with every gentlemanly gesture, reached out to the old woman and asked, "Auntie, are you satisfied with this knot? If not, I'll tie it again."
Su Xueli looked at Wei Mingshen with eyes full of sweetness: How can you be so handsome!
"Ming Shen, you!" Su Guojun and Su Yunlei came over to stop him.
Wei Mingshen glanced at the father and son, who obediently stood still.
The crowd simply watched quietly as bystanders.
The old woman was dumbfounded and sat stiffly on the ground, neither crying nor wailing.
Wei Mingshen was very attentive. "Auntie, what does it mean if you don't say anything? Are you satisfied or not?"
The courtyard was completely silent; you could hear a pin drop.
Wei Mingshen waited a while and then said, "If the old lady doesn't say anything, it means she's satisfied. Should I escort her up, or will you do it yourself?"
Su Xueli almost couldn't help but give Wei Mingshen a big hug.
The old woman, looking at the familiar knot of the hanging rope, dared not approach it for the first time...
"Go! Go!" a young man in the crowd shouted.
This caused quite a stir; the men, who had been drinking, went wild and started yelling, "Go! Go!"...
Your sister Bai likes to hang herself, doesn't she? The people of Peach Blossom Village have been terrified by you a lot. This time, they'll see you hang yourself.
Su Guojun and Liu Fengying looked at each other, bewildered by the commotion, unsure how to handle the situation.
Su Xueli walked up to her parents, tugged at their hands, and gestured for them to mind their own business and just watch the show quietly.
Wei Mingshen looked down at the old woman and said teasingly, "Auntie, look how warmly everyone is seeing you off. Don't disappoint them, hurry up and get going."
"Eat, eat, eat..." Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The cheering and commotion intensified, creating an incredibly joyful atmosphere.
"Ah, they're all bullying me! Dad, come out and say something for me..." The old woman suddenly got up from the ground and ran outside crying.
"Hey, don't run away! Didn't you hang yourself? Your nephew-in-law went to great lengths to tie the rope for you. You can't let his kindness go to waste!" the crowd shouted.
Some busybodies even tried to pull her away.
She was so scared that she ran away and lost her shoes, which made everyone laugh.
"That's great, it completely cures Sister Bai's hanging habit," an old lady concluded.
Su Guojun and Liu Fengying exchanged a smile.
Su Guojun said to everyone, "Everyone, stop talking. My sister-in-law is also feeling bad. Let's all disperse. We have guests at home."
Everyone was enthusiastically discussing leaving Su Guojun's house.
Ignoring the large group of people in her house, Su Xueli pulled Wei Mingshen into her small room.
"You're so talented!" she said, laughing and patting his chest.
