      Chapter 89 Show off (Part 2)

       A group of six returned to the village.

      A large group of fellow villagers surrounded the village entrance, and Liu Ping was taken aback by the battle, thinking that something serious happened in the village.

    He was about to jump out of the bullock cart and ask a fellow villager, who surrounded him in a Hornet's nest.

      Su Ergou rubbed his sleepy eyes.

    Ok?what's going on?fight?

       Aunt Wu asked: "Fatty, I heard that you went to the town to buy a horse. Where is the horse you bought?"

      Su Xiaoxiao: Huh?When did I say that?

      She turned her head to look at Su Ergou.

      Su Ergou shook his head like a rattle, shaking his cheeks trembling!

      She looked at the three little ones.

      The three little ones also shook their heads!

       Niudan is lying in bed, they went to show off but failed!

      She looked at Liu Ping again!

      Liu Ping was startled: "No, no, I went to Old Li to borrow an ox cart and only said that I would go to town, but I didn't say what it was for!"

      At this time, Father Su walked over with his hands behind his back, walking with a step that no relatives would recognize.

       "Give it up, let it go, let it all go."

       he said in a tone.

      The folks gave way with a clatter.

      When Papa Su saw Su Xiaoxiao beside the bullock cart, he instantly smiled happily.

       haven't seen big fat girl for a day, really miss her!

      He raised his eyebrows and said: "Girl! Where is the horse you bought? Give the folks a lot of insight!"

      Su Xiaoxiao: "..."

      The story started when Papa Su and Wei Ting returned home after picking vegetables, Su Xiaoxiao took his younger brother and three little ones out, and Xiao Wu was pickling salted eggs in the backyard.

      Papa Su asked her daughter's whereabouts, and Xiao Wu's original words were: "Da Ya wants to buy livestock, so I went to the horse market in the next town with Liu Ping, and Ergou and the children also went."

      What Papa Su heard was: Daughter...want to buy...a horse.

      The rest of the words were selectively filtered by him!

       Such an important happy event, it is natural to show it off!

      ——So it’s not without reason that the children in the family like to show off, and the root cause has been found.

    Su Xiaoxiao doesn't know what to say right now.

       "Oh! Whose donkey is this? It can't be yours, fat girl? Didn't you go to buy a horse? Did you get fooled?"

       It was Mrs. Zhou who spoke.

       "Fat girl can't even tell the difference between a horse and a donkey?"

       "I can't tell... Fat girl used to..."

       "Ahem!"

      Papa Su cleared his throat heavily, and then everyone remembered that they were facing the three tyrants of the Su family. Recently, the three tyrants of the Su family did not often come out to extort money, which made them gradually relax a little bit their vigilance.

      The folks stopped talking, but their eyes were still full of surprise.

      Papa Su quickly came to Su Xiaoxiao, lowered his voice and asked, "Girl, you don't really treat the donkey as a horse, do you?"

      Su Xiaoxiao said frankly: "No, I know it's a donkey."

      Papa Su was stunned: "Aren't you going to buy a horse? Why did you buy a donkey and come back?"

       "Horse? Yes." Su Xiaoxiao.

      Papa Su's eyes shine again!

      He raised his chin triumphantly at the villagers: "Did you hear that? My daughter said it! She bought a horse!"

       As he spoke, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao again, "Girl, where is the horse?"

      Su Xiaoxiao said: "Here."

      Papa Su asked, "Where is it?"

      The villagers also stretched their necks and kept looking behind the ox cart.

      Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three cute little ones, stretched out her hand, and gently lifted the big quilt surrounded by them.

      Under the quilt was a dying pony, whose eyes seemed to be out of focus.

      Papa Su is completely stupid!

       Sure enough, a sentence was verified: Pretend to be struck by lightning!

       Zhou was delighted: "This is a newborn pony, right? Ouch, fat girl, why did you buy this and come back? You can't support it!"

      The aunt of the Wu family also shook her head and sighed: "Yeah, it's about to die after just looking at it."

      The daughter-in-law of the Sun family said: "Fatty girl, after a long time, you still acted as a spendthrift and foolish for others! At least a dozen taels of silver!"

      Su Ergou said: "What a dozen taels! Who do you look down on! My sister spent forty taels!"

       "Forty-two... bought a pony cub who can't support it?" Zhou almost laughed out loud.

      It’s doing business again, and it’s also delivering babies and treating diseases. The villagers are all saying that Su Fatty has grown up, but judging from today’s situation, she’s still that stupid girl who doesn’t understand anything!

      The folks have the same idea as Zhou, and they also feel that Su Fatty's silver flowers are worthless.

      Xiao Su's family, who was still proud in the morning, has once again become the laughing stock of the village.

    Xiao Wu came over silently, pinched Liu Ping secretly, and said in a low voice, "How did you help Da Ya choose a horse? Why did you choose a horse boy?"

       Liu Ping felt wronged in his heart, he persuaded her, but she insisted on buying it, so he did the same, didn't he?

       After all, he can't beat Da Ya.

      Su Xiaoxiao said to Zhou: "Don't worry, Aunt Zhou, I promise to make him fat and strong!"

      Just because others can’t support a pony, doesn’t mean she can’t either!

      If she didn't even have this confidence, how could she pay for it?

       "Okay, okay, let's go, let's go!" Father Su dispersed the folks.

      The folks left, but none of them believed that Su Xiaoxiao could support the pony.

    ——

      After Mrs. Zhou went back, the first thing she did was to go to the old Su's house and gossip about Su Fatty's stupid behavior to Mrs. Fang and her daughter.

      Several women are sitting in Su Yuniang's room.

      Su Yuniang is feeding the child.

      After following Su Fatty's recipe for a few days, she recovered a lot and had milk, but not too much.

       During the day, she would take her to Old Li's house and ask Mrs. Zhao to help feed her a few times, and she would feed it by herself at night.

      Su Jinniang said: "In this weather, horse cubs can't be kept alive. It's a pity that the forty taels of silver are worth it."

       It's a pity in his mouth, but his tone is clearly gloating.

       "She has only been in business for a month, and she has earned forty taels..." Fang's focus is not on the horse.

      It was rare for Su Yuniang not to speak up for Su Fatty, because even she thought that Su Fatty had made a loss-making deal.

      A grown-up horse is expensive, often costing seventy or eighty taels of silver. This is just an ordinary breed, and a good horse is hard to find.

      Forty taels to buy a horse may seem cheap, but after all, it is a pony that cannot be fed.

    Mrs. Zhou couldn't hide her sarcasm and added insult to injury: "She said she was going to buy it to sell goods! I think she lost her capital as well! A girl should stay at home! Who is like her who shows up in public all the time and does business like a man?"It’s all right now, I’ve lost everything!”

      Su Yuniang frowned.

       "Mom." She said, "I'm a little uncomfortable and want to sleep."

      Fang said: "Ah, fine, then let's go out first."

    ——

       Liu Ping drove the bullock cart and sent Su Xiaoxiao and his party to Xiao Su's house.

      Old Li Tou and Li Zheng also came over.

      The two of them didn't watch the excitement at the entrance of the village, mainly to take care of Su Xiaoxiao's face, but now that there are no other people around, there are still things to say.

       "Big ya, why did you buy a pony?" Village Officer asked.

      The three little ones raised their heads, and looked at Su Xiaoxiao eagerly.
