They were the ones who wanted to take the pony home, but along the way, everyone was pointing fingers at it. 

They felt as if they had done something wrong. 

“Mom.” 

The three little ones’ eyes were uneasy, causing others to feel distress. 

-uneasy expression

Su Xiaoxiao stroked the three little ones’ heads gently and said, “Well, it’s good to have the pony, mom likes it very much.” 

After a pause, Su Xiaoxiao felt that saying this might not be enough and added another sentence. 

“I like the pony the same as how I like you guys.” 

The three of them immediately shook their heads like rattles! 

Mom had to like Dahu Erhu Xiaohu most! 

Su Xiaoxiao understood their meaning, then she chuckled and laughed, “Alright alright, I like Dahu Erhu Xiaohu most.” 

She said so, hugging the three of them one by one and said, “Go find your dad, yeye* and uncle will take the pony inside.” 

*Yeye (爷爷) : paternal grandfather, a honorific title for a man of the same generation and age as one’s grandfather. 

The three of them obediently went away. 

Su Xiaoxiao smiled at Lizheng* and said, “I like it, so I just bought it.” 

*Lizheng (里正) : An official position in ancient china, mainly in charge of household registrations and tax payment. 

Lizheng was not stupid and sighed, “It’s the children who like it, right? Sigh, you really spoiled them too much.” 

He and Liu Ping had similar thoughts, even those biological ones were not so spoiled. 

If the children were crying, making trouble, and didn’t want to listen, just hit them a few times and they would be fine. 

Where would you find anyone who would really spoil children like this? 

As they had different thoughts, Su Xiaoxiao didn’t argue with Lizheng. 

Moreover, the three little ones were not just children who would blindly make demands, even if she didn’t buy it today, they would never cry. 

But their young hearts might always have a regret that couldn’t be filled. 

You could always earn more money after, but you wouldn’t be able to get the missing childhood back. 

She hoped that she could protect the pure and genuine goodness in their hearts. 

Old Li Tou lifted the quilt and touched the foal’s body to inspect it. 

He was the only one in the village who had raised cattle, and although he had never raised a horse, in the end, he still had more experience than ordinary people. 

He frowned and said, “Is it a premature foal?” 

-premature foal

“What?” Lizheng was startled.

It was fine that it was an unweaned foal, but it turned out it was even a premature one? No wonder it looked so weak and small. 

“This… Can it still be alive?” He asked Old Li Tou. 

Old Li Tou shook his head, “In the first two months of its birth, a foal has to be fed with milk, even in the worst case, it needs to be fed for a month. A foal without milk couldn’t grow much, and the one that had never been fed milk was even worse.” 

“Aiyooh, Oh my God!” When Lizheng thought that it was bought by Daya for 40 taels of silver, he felt all pain on Daya’s behalf. 

“Can we find another horse to feed it?” He asked Old Li Tou. 

Old Li Tou sighed, “We need to look for it.” 

Few horses gave birth in the winter, and if this foal were not born prematurely, it would be born at the beginning of spring next month. 

Besides, this was the countryside, and no one’s family had a horse at all. 

The last glimmer of hope in Lizheng’s heart was shattered, and he looked at Daya sympathetically, unsure of what to say to comfort her. 

Su Xiaoxiao understood in her heart that Lizheng and Old Li Tou were not coming to ridicule her, but they genuinely wanted to help her. 

She said seriously, “Lizheng, Uncle Li, don’t worry, I can raise it well.” 

As for specifically how she will raise it, she didn’t mention anything. 

The two of them naturally did not believe what she just said. Nevertheless, they didn’t say anything more, for the fear that it would only make her sadder. 

The two of them comforted her with a few words and then left with a sigh. 

Father Su’s heart was aching. 

But it was his daughter who bought the pony, and even if he wanted to cry, he still had to raise it well. 

He was aggrieved and reluctantly went to clean up the pigsty. 

The family didn’t raise a pig, and the pigsty was used as a firewood shed. In the future, it would be allocated as the pony’s sleeping space. 

It was estimated that it wouldn’t be able to live there for a few days. 

Should he…… go to the back forest to dig a hole first? 

Su Ergou didn’t understand how to raise a horse, and didn’t know whether the pony might die soon. 

Whatever his older sister said, he would believe it! 

Wei Ting walked out with his crutch, and he glanced at the pony that was being carried by Su Ergou to the pigsty…… now it should be called a stable……for the pony, and then he looked at Su Xiaoxiao who walked into the house with her head held high. 

Just as he was about to open his mouth. 

Su Xiaoxiao stretched out her little chubby hand and made a gesture to stop, “Stop! I know what you are going to say! Refrain those words for me!” 

Wei Ting snorted and coldly went to the kitchen. 

Fine, she didn’t let him say it, so don’t regret it. 

Although Father Su was usually lazy and slow in farming or working, he cleaned up the stables without any hesitation. 

There was no way, for this kind of dirty work, he was willing to let his daughter do it. 

After tidying up, he was sweating all over. 

The hearts of all parents in the world who loved their children were generally the same.

Su Xiaoxiao could buy a horse for the three little ones, and Father Su could also toss himself for his daughter without any complaints. 

Even if he had to bury the horse himself a few days later.
