Chapter 89 Show off (Part 2)



A large group of villagers gathered at the entrance of the village. Liu Ping was shocked by the scene and thought something big had happened in the village.

He was just about to jump off the ox cart and ask a fellow villager when the villagers swarmed around him.

Su Ergou rubbed his sleepy eyes.

Hmm? What's going on? A fight? Aunt Wu asked, "Pang Ya, I heard you went to town to buy a horse. Where is the horse you bought?"

Su Xiaoxiao: Huh? When did I say that? She turned and looked at Su Ergou.

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

She looked at the three little ones.

The three little ones also shook their heads!

Niu Dan stayed in bed, and they tried to show off but failed! She looked at Liu Ping again!

Liu Ping was shocked. "No, no, I went to borrow the ox cart from Old Li and only said I wanted to go to town. I didn't say what I was going to do!"

At this time, Old Man Su walked over with his hands behind his back, as if he didn't recognize anyone.

"Make way, make way, make way."

He spoke in a pretentious tone.

The villagers hurriedly made way for them.

When Old Man Su saw Su Xiaoxiao standing beside the ox cart, he instantly smiled with joy.

I haven't seen my fat daughter for a day. I miss her so much!

He raised his eyebrows and said, "Girl! Where is the horse you bought? Let the villagers see it!"

Su Xiaoxiao: “…”

The story begins when Old Man Su and Wei Ting returned home after picking vegetables. Su Xiaoxiao took her brother and the three kids out, while Xiao Wu was pickling salted eggs in the backyard.

Old Man Su asked where his daughter was going. Little Wu's original words were: "Daya wanted to buy some livestock, so she went to the horse market in the next town with Liu Ping. Ergou and the children also went there."

What Old Man Su heard was: My daughter... wants to buy... a horse.

The rest of the words were selectively filtered by him!

Such an important happy event, of course, needs to be shown off! ——So there is a reason why the children in the family love to show off. The root cause has been found.

Su Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say at this moment.

"Oh my! Whose donkey is this? It can't be yours, Fatty? Didn't you go buy a horse? Did someone cheat you?"

The one who spoke was Zhou.

"Can't Fatty even tell the difference between a horse and a donkey?"

"It's hard to say... Fatty used to..."

“Ahem!”

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

The villagers stopped complaining, but their eyes were still filled with surprise and doubt.

Father Su walked quickly to Su Xiaoxiao and asked in a low voice, "My daughter, you didn't really mistake the donkey for a horse, did you?"

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

Father Su was stunned: "Aren't you going to buy a horse? Why did you buy a donkey?"

"Horse? Yes." Su Xiaoxiao said.

The light in Father Su’s eyes is back!

He raised his chin proudly to his fellow villagers: "Did you hear that? My daughter said it! She bought a horse!"

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

Su Xiaoxiao said: "Here."

Father Su asked, "Where?"

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

Under the quilt was a dying foal, its eyes seemingly unable to focus.

Old Man Su was completely stunned!

It really proved the saying: If you pretend to be cool, you will be struck by lightning! Zhou was happy: "Is this a newborn pony? Hey, Fatty, why did you buy this thing? You can't keep it alive!"

Aunt Wu also shook her head and sighed: "Yeah, it looks like she's going to die soon."

The Sun family's wife said, "Fatty, after all this time, you've still been taken advantage of! This is at least a dozen taels of silver!"

Su Ergou said, "What do you mean by a dozen taels? Who are you looking down on? My sister spent forty taels!"

"Forty taels... to buy a pony that can't even be raised?" Zhou was almost laughing to death.

She is doing business, delivering babies and treating illnesses. The villagers all say that Fatty Su has become more capable. But judging from what she did today, she is still the same stupid girl who knows nothing!

The villagers had similar ideas to Zhou's, and they also felt that Su Panya's money was worthless.

The Su family, who were so proud in the morning, once again became the laughing stock of the village.

Little Wu came over silently, pinched Liu Ping secretly, and whispered, "How did you choose a horse for Daya? Why did you choose a foal?"

Liu Ping felt very wronged. He had tried to persuade Daya to buy it, but Daya insisted on buying it, so there was nothing he could do, right?

After all, he couldn't beat Daya.

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

Just because others can't raise a pony foal doesn't mean she can't!

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

"Okay, okay, disperse, everyone disperse!" Old Man Su dispersed the villagers.

The villagers left, but none of them believed that Su Xiaoxiao could raise the young horse. ——After Zhou returned, the first thing she did was to go to the old Su family and gossip about Su Pangya's stupid behavior to Fang's mother and daughter.

Several women were sitting in Su Yu Niang's room.

Su Yu Niang is feeding her baby.

After she followed Su Pangya's diet for a few days, her energy was restored a lot and she had milk again, but not much.

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

Su Jinniang said, "In this weather, the pony can't be kept alive. It's a pity to lose the forty taels of silver."

Although he said it was a pity, his tone was clearly one of gloating.

"She's only been doing business for a month, and she's already earned forty taels..." Fang's focus was not on the horse.

It was rare that Su Yu Niang did not speak up for Su Pang Ya, because even she thought that Su Pang Ya had made a loss-making deal.

An adult horse is expensive, costing seventy or eighty taels of silver, and this is just for ordinary breeds. A good horse is hard to come by and is worth a fortune.

Forty taels to buy a horse may seem cheap, but it was, after all, a foal that could not be raised.

Zhou couldn't hide her sarcasm and added insult to injury: "She said she wanted to buy it to transport goods! I think she lost all her capital! Girls should stay at home! Who is like her, showing up in public all day long and trying to learn how to do business from men! Now it's all gone!"

Su Yu Niang frowned.

"Mom," she said, "I feel a little uncomfortable and want to sleep."

Fang said, "Oh, okay, then we'll go out first." - Liu Ping drove the ox cart and took Su Xiaoxiao and her group to Xiao Su's house.

Old Li and the village head also came over.

The two of them did not watch the fun at the entrance of the village, mainly to save Su Xiaoxiao's face, but now that there was no one else around, some things still had to be said.

"Daya, why did you buy a colt?" asked the head of the village.

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

Little Pony: Newcomer is here, please give me a monthly ticket~
