After dinner, Su Xueli went to her room to pack up before heading out. Wei Mingshen, who was sitting silently watching her, suddenly spoke up: "I'll go to the city with you."
Su Xueli glanced at him, "Aren't you going to the hospital?"
"We'll go to the hospital when we get back."
"No, didn't you say she's emotionally unstable? What if she tries to commit suicide again if you don't go? You should go right now."
Wei Mingshen looked at her in surprise and asked, "You seem very afraid that something might happen to her."
Su Xueli thought to herself: If something happens to her, you will never have peace of mind for the rest of your life.
If something happens to her because you accompanied me to the city, I will be burdened with a life debt for the rest of my life.
I didn't live a good life in my past life, so I want to live a carefree and easy life in this one. I don't want to get into any trouble.
"I'll say it again: out of humanitarianism. Besides, her death wouldn't do me any good."
Wei Mingshen looked at the straw horse she was wearing covered with a large cloth and said, "I want to meet that person and have him give me the photos and negatives he took of you."
Su Xueli chuckled inwardly, thinking to herself, "You're such a petty man."
She said coldly, "Don't worry about that. If anyone's going to give it, it'll be to me, not you. You should go to the hospital quickly. I need to hurry to town to get my cousin to catch the bus to the city."
Wei Mingshen was embarrassed, but he still said with a straight face, "I'll go to town too, and I'll take you with me on my bike."
There was only one bicycle at home, and she even brought it over with him; he had to go to town with her.
Su Xueli agreed and got on the back of his bicycle and went out.
Good news doesn't travel far, but bad news travels fast. Yesterday, Wei Mingshen's lover committed suicide, and the scandalous news of him spending the whole day at the hospital with her has already spread throughout the village.
So when the young couple stepped out, they instantly became the focus of the entire village. The men casually greeted Wei Mingshen and then checked the young couple's expressions, especially Su Xueli's.
The women swarmed around the young couple like sparrows, chattering away. Of course, their voices were low, and the couple, passing by, couldn't hear a thing.
The young couple were seen off by the entire village as they left the village.
"Ah, I can finally breathe freely!" Su Xueli exclaimed.
Wei Mingshen slowed down and said, "I'm sorry."
Su Xueli said, "It's okay, I'm strong enough inside. But you, are you alright?"
"It's okay, I'm thick-skinned."
Su Xueli smiled and said, "Actually, to live a good life, you have to be thick-skinned. Do what you want to do and don't care about others."
Wei Mingshen was startled. "Sherry, I always give you confidence and encouragement at crucial moments, which warms my heart."
Su Xueli said, "Really? I don't think so."
Wei Mingshen said, "That's why I can't bear to leave you."
Su Xueli glanced at the pedestrians on the street and whispered to him, "Comrade Wei Mingshen, be more discreet when you speak. Aren't you ashamed if someone hears you?"
Wei Mingshen said dismissively, "Shameless. I'm talking to my wife, what right do I have to tell others what to do?"
Su Xueli: "..."
