No. 22 show off
A group of six people returned to the village.
A large group of villagers gathered at the entrance of the village. The fight shocked Liu Ping, who thought something big had happened in the village.
Just as he was about to jump off the oxcart and ask a fellow villager, the villagers gathered around him.
Su Ergou rubbed his slightly groggy eyes.
Hmm? What's the situation? A fight?
Aunt Wu asked: "Fat Ya, I heard that you went to town to buy a horse. Where is the horse you bought?"
Su Xiaoxiao: Huh? When did I say that?
She turned to look at Su Ergou.
Su Ergou shook his head like a rattle, making his cheeks tremble!
She looked at the three little ones.
The three little ones also shook their heads!
Niudan was lying on the bed, and they tried to show off but failed!
She looked at Liu Ping again!
Liu Ping's body was shocked: "No, no, I went to Lao Li Tou to borrow a bullock cart. I just said I was going to town for a trip. I didn't say what I was doing!"
At this time, Father Su walked over with his hands behind his back, as if he didn't recognize his relatives.
"Give, give, give."
he said in a tone of voice.
The villagers clamored to make way.
When Father Su saw Su Xiaoxiao beside the bullock cart, he smiled with joy.
I haven’t seen my fat girl for a day, I really miss her so much!
He raised his eyebrows and said, "Daughter! Where is the horse you bought? It will give the folks a lot of experience!"
Su Xiaoxiao: "..."
The story begins when Father Su and Wei Ting returned home after picking vegetables. Su Xiaoxiao took her younger brother and three little ones out, while little Wu was pickling salted eggs in the backyard.
Father Su asked about his daughter's whereabouts. Little Wu's original words were: "Da Ya wanted to buy livestock, so she and Liu Ping went to the horse market in the next town, and Ergou and the children also went."
What Father 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 naturally has to be shown off!
——So it’s not without reason that several children in the family love to show off, and the root cause has been found.
Su Xiaoxiao didn't know what to say at this moment.
"Oh! Whose donkey is this? It can't be yours, right? Fatty? Didn't you go buy a horse? Did you let someone fool you?"
It was Mr. Zhou who spoke.
"Fat girl can't tell the difference between a horse and a donkey, right?"
"I can't tell... Fatty, once upon a time..."
"Ahem!"
Father 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 didn't come out to extort money very often, so they gradually relaxed their vigilance.
The villagers no longer gibbered, but their eyes were still full of surprise.
Father Su quickly came to Su Xiaoxiao and lowered his voice and asked: "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 startled: "Aren't you going to buy a horse? Why did you come back after buying a donkey?"
"Horse? Yes." Su Xiaoxiao wrote.
Father Su’s eyes are shining again!
He raised his chin proudly at the villagers: "Did you hear that? My daughter said it! She bought a horse!"
After saying that, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao again, "Daughter, where is the horse?"
Su Xiaoxiao said: "Here it is."
Father Su asked: "Where is it?"
The villagers also stretched their necks and looked behind the oxcart.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the three cute little ones, reached out her hand, and gently opened the big quilt surrounded by them.
Under the quilt was a dying foal, whose eyes seemed unable to focus.
Father Su was completely stunned!
Sure enough, a sentence has been verified: pretending to be cool will be struck by lightning!
Zhou was delighted: "This is a newborn pony, right? Oh, Fatty, why did you buy such a thing and come back? You can't keep it alive!"
Aunt Wu also shook her head and sighed: "Yes, I'm going to die soon just by looking at it."
The daughter-in-law of the Sun family said: "Fat girl, after doing this for a long time, you still got taken advantage of! This is worth more than ten taels of silver at least!"
Su Ergou said: "What a dozen taels! Who are you looking down on! My sister spent forty taels!"
"Forty taels... did you buy a little pony that you can't feed?" Mrs. Zhou almost burst out laughing.
She is doing business and delivering babies and treating illnesses. The villagers are all saying that Fatty Su has become more capable, but looking at it today, it is clear that she is still the stupid girl who knows nothing!
The villagers' thoughts were similar to Zhou's, and they also felt that Su Pangya's money was worthless.
The little Su family, who had been so proud in the morning, once again became the laughing stock of the village.
Xiao Wu came over silently, pinched Liu Ping secretly, and whispered: "Why did you help Daya choose a horse? Why did you choose a horse boy?"
Liu Ping cried out in his heart that he was wronged. He had tried to persuade her, but Da Ya insisted on buying it. He couldn't do anything about it, could he?
After all, he couldn't beat Da Ya.
Su Xiaoxiao said to Mrs. Zhou: "Don't worry, Aunt Zhou, I promise to raise it fat and strong!"
Just because someone else can't raise 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 dismissed the villagers.
The villagers left, but no one believed that Su Xiaoxiao could feed Ma Zaizi.
--
After Mrs. Zhou returned home, the first thing she did was to go to Lao Su's house and gossip about Su Fatya's stupid behavior to Mrs. Fang and her daughter.
Several women were sitting in Su Yu's mother's room.
Su Yuniang is feeding the child.
After following Su Pangya's recipe for a few days, she recovered a lot of energy and began to produce milk, but not too much.
During the day, she would take her to Lao Litou's house and ask Xiao Zhao to help feed her a few times, and at night she would feed her by herself.
Su Jinniang said: "In this weather, Ma Zai can't survive. It's a pity that the forty taels of silver are gone."
He said it was a pity, but his tone was clearly one of gloating.
"She has only been in business for a month and has earned forty taels..." Fang's focus was not on the horse.
It was rare for Su Yuniang not to speak up for Su Fat Ya, because even she believed that Su Fat Ya had made a loss-making business.
Adult horses are expensive, often costing seventy or eighty taels of silver. This is just an ordinary breed, and good horses are hard to come by.
Buying a horse for forty taels may seem cheap, but after all, it is a little pony that cannot be fed.
Zhou couldn't hide her sarcasm and added insult to injury: "She said she wanted to buy it! I think she probably lost her capital as well! A girl should stay at home! Who is like her who is in the public eye all day long and still imitates men in doing business?"
!It’s okay now, I’ll pay you back!”
Su Yuniang frowned.
"Mom," she said, "I feel a little uncomfortable and want to sleep."
Fang said: "Ah, okay, let's go out first."
--
Liu Ping drove a 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 did not watch the excitement at the entrance of the village, mainly because they took Su Xiaoxiao's face into consideration, but now that there was no one else around, there were some things that should be said.
"Da Ya, why did you buy a horse?" Li Zheng asked.
The three little ones raised their little heads and looked at Su Xiaoxiao.
