Chapter 46: 046. You should go too.

[You go too]

Chang'an arrived at Su Family's village on official orders just after noon.

There was a commotion outside Su Liang's house, with many people gathered around.

As he approached, he saw an old rope hanging from an old elm tree outside the front door, with a knot tied in it. An elderly woman wearing tattered clothes was standing on a stone, attempting to hang herself.

Several young men and women near her were crying and pleading, saying things like "Mother, don't do something foolish" and "What are we going to do if you die?"

Unfortunately, several strong young men couldn't pull the old woman down. She kept trying to put her neck into the rope but couldn't quite manage it.

There were villagers around who were trying to help, and others were egging her on, urging her to hurry up if she really intended to hang herself and not dawdle.
