But this time, she was famous for a good cause. 

The villagers were curious, did Su Pangya get some kind of guidance from an expert? 

Was this what people called enlightenment ?

They heard that she fell on her wedding day——

The aunties in the village : should they return and try to topple their children too…… 

Su Xiaoxiao didn’t know what the villagers were thinking, so she just calmly accepted a wave of attention from them. 

Mainly because she was already used to it.

The original owner was fat since she was a kid and had received too many strange looks from people. So she wouldn’t care too much about it, nor would she try to find the reason why. 

If she had paid more attention, she would have realized that the way people looked at her today was different from the past.  

Not only because she became a better person, but they were also unconsciously attracted to her new appearance. 

She was still the same person, which was very fat. 

However, for some inexplicable reason, the villagers felt that Su Pangya looked much more pleasing to the eye. 

It seemed like…… she had turned fairer. The dazzling daylight and the light that was reflected in the snow radiate her chubby face, making her skin look so tender and moist.  

In addition, a few sharp-eyed aunties noticed that her face was a little different.

It used to be a big round pancake, but now there were some lines at the edge of the jaw, creating a cute and adorable round face! 

-Chinese pancakes 

“Pangya…… has become pretty.” 

Mrs. Fang, who was drying clothes in front of the Old Su’s house said. 

Su Jinniang spread out the clothes, while whispering, “She’s so fat, how can she become  beautiful?” 

Su Yuniang, who was inside the room, leisurely took over the conversation and said, “Don’t say that, she’s just fat, but her facial features are not bad. If she loses weight, she will be much more beautiful than you!” 

Su Jinniang was so angry that she hung the clothes forcefully on the clothesline! 

The snow hasn’t fallen for a few days now.

Today, the weather was sunny, and the wind was mild. 

Sitting on the ox-cart was comfortably warm, the three little ones enjoying this while squinting their eyes, looking proud of themselves! 

Liu Ping looked at their happy little faces and knew that they were having a good time in the Su family. 

Both of them were stepmothers, but Old Mrs. Wu was vicious. While Su Pangya, who was always regarded by people as a bully, treats these kids better than biological mothers. 

Thinking of this, Liu Ping unconsciously revealed an envious look. 

Su Xiaoxiao happened to turn her head to look over and inadvertently met Liu Ping’s eyes. 

Liu Ping’s heart skipped a beat. 

Su Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes: ‘why do I feel that you want to be my son?’ 

  …… 

Two hours later, the three adults and three children arrived at the horse market that Liu Ping mentioned. 

He said that it was a horse market, but in fact, there were only a few sheds built by the dock, with some livestock waiting to be sold. 

Today was only the tenth day after New Year, but many people came. 

Everyone took a glance at a fat village girl and a small group of triplets. 

Su Xiaoxiao said to the three little ones on the ox cart, “You guys have to keep your eyes on your uncle, don’t let him get lost, okay?” 

The three little ones nodded seriously, and grabbed Su Ergou’s sleeve. They would definitely watch over their uncle! 

Liu Ping said to Su Xiaoxiao, “That biggest shed is for the horses that are supplied for the officials. Except for those horses, you can choose whatever you want.” 

The six of them strolled around the horse market. 

To be honest, except for the horses that were for the officials which were well-fed and strong, the rest of the horses were either old or sick, and the price was also ridiculously expensive. 

“50 taels? This is an old horse ah!” Liu Ping looked at the horse seller in disbelief.

“Don’t you think you can take advantage of me because I don’t know the market’s price. I’ve worked here for two years, and this kind of old horse usually sells for 20 or 30 taels only.” 

The peddler said slowly, “there’s some rumors that there would be a war in the southwest, and the horses are in short supply. This horse is a bit old, but it can pull goods. If you think it’s too expensive, the military camps will take it away later. At that time, even if you want to buy it, you won’t be able to! If you really want it, give me 45 taels, it won’t be less than that!” 

Su Xiaoxiao shook her head and led Liu Ping away. 

She didn’t care whether the rumors were accurate or not, she wasn’t going to spend all of her family’s money to buy an old horse that couldn’t be used for a few years.  

Moreover, she was lacking 2 taels. 

The old peddler who was at the opposite shouted to Su Xiaoxiao, “Miss! Are you using it to pull the goods or traveling ah? If you need it to pull the goods, take a look at the mules! I have all the finest mules here, they eat less, and they are strong. From four to ten years old, I have it all!” 

-Mule, is a domestic equine hybrid between a donkey and a horse. It is the offspring of a male donkey and a female horse.
