A group of six returned to the village.
A large group of villagers surrounded the village entrance, which made Liu Ping startled, thinking that something important had happened in the village.
He was about to jump off the ox cart to ask what had happened, but the villagers immediately surrounded them.
Su Ergou rubbed his somewhat sleepy eyes.
Hmm? What’s going on? Is there a fight?
Aunt Wu asked, “Pangya, 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 her head to look at Su Ergou.
Su Ergou shook his head like a rattle, making his cheeks tremble from the shaking.
She looked at the three little ones.
The three little ones also shook their heads.
Niudan was lying in bed, they went there to show off but they didn’t succeed!
She turned her head and looked at Liu Ping!
Liu Ping’s shuddered and said, “No, no, I went to borrow the ox cart from Old Li Tou and only said that I was going to town, I didn’t say what it was for!”
At this time, Father Su walked over with his hands on his back and striding arrogantly.
“Make way, make way, all make way.”
He spoke affectedly.
The villagers clamored to make way.
When Father Su saw Su Xiaoxiao beside the ox cart, he instantly revealed a joyful smile.
He hadn’t seen his chubby daughter for a day, he really missed her so much ah!
He raised his eyebrows and said, “Daughter! Where is the horse that you bought? Let the villagers expand their knowledge!”
Su Xiaoxiao: “……”
Things started when Father Su and Wei Ting returned home after picking vegetables.
Su Xiaoxiao went out with her younger brother and the three children, while Mrs. Wu was pickling salted eggs in the backyard.
Father Su asked his daughter’s whereabouts, and Mrs. Wu’s original words were: “Daya wanted to buy livestock, so she and Liu Ping went to the horse market in the neighboring town, Ergou and the children also went there.”
What Father Su heard was: ‘daughter…… wanted to buy…… horse……’
The rest of the words were selectively filtered by him!
Such a happy event, of course he had to share it out and show it off!
——So there was a reason why the children in this family love to show off, and the root cause had been found.
Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know what to say at this moment.
“Aiyaahh! Whose donkey is this? It can’t be that it’s yours ah, Pangya? Didn’t you go to buy a horse? Did you get fooled by others?”
It was Mrs. Zhou who spoke.
“It can’t be that Pangya is even unable to tell the difference between a horse and a donkey, right?”
“I can’t say for sure ah…… Previously Pangya……”
“Ahem!”
Father Su cleared his throat heavily, and only then the people remembered that they were facing the three bullies of the Su family.
Recently, the three bullies of the Su family had not come out to blackmail money, which made them gradually relaxed their vigilance.
The villagers no longer grumbled, but their eyes were still full of bewilderment.
Father Su quickly walked over to Su Xiaoxiao and asked in a low voice, “My daughter, could that be you couldn’t differentiate between the donkey and the horse?”
Su Xiaoxiao said frankly, “No, I know that’s a donkey.”
Father Su was stunned and asked, “Didn’t you go to buy a horse? Why did you come back with a donkey?”
“A horse? There is ah.” Su Xiaoxiao said.
Father Su’s eyes were shining again!
He raised his chin triumphantly at the villagers, “Did you hear that? My daughter said it! She bought a horse!”
After he said that, he looked at Su Xiaoxiao again, “Daughter, where’s the horse?”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It’s here.”
Father Su asked, “Where is it ah?”
The villagers also stretched their necks and kept looking behind the ox cart.
Su Xiaoxiao looked at the cute three little ones, reached out her hand, and gently unveiled the big quilt that covered them.
Underneath the quilt, was a dying foal, with eyes that seemed to be unable to focus.
Father Su was completely dumbfounded!
He had just verified a sentence: too much boasting brought shame!
