"Lamei, what kind of person do you think Tian Datong is?" Bai Haitang asked. After seeing the portrait, Bai Haitang was a little curious. There were no photos in this era, and we couldn't afford a painter to paint a portrait.
"Brother Datong is as kind as Sister Haitang. He will walk around ants when he encounters them. He will try his best to help anyone who has difficulties. He can read and write, but he is not good at farming. Anyway, he is a hundred times better than your mother-in-law, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law.
, a thousand times." After listening to Lamei's words, Bai Haitang felt that his "husband-in-law" was more and more in line with the image of a frail scholar.
"The only person from the eight villages around here who goes out to take the exam is your husband-in-law, who sends letters from home every month and never fails." Lamei added.
At this time, a burst of footsteps came...
"Your mother-in-law is here!" Lamei could already hear her semi-cat-like footsteps.
It was too late to jump out of the window, so Bai Haitang asked her to hide under the bed, while he held the child and pretended to talk...
He was obviously chatting and meeting with his best friend, but it made him look like a cheater. Bai Haitang smiled bitterly in his heart.
Mother-in-law came in soon...
"Ms. Bai, the grass in the field has withered and died before you pulled it out. What magic did you use?" the mother-in-law came over and asked.
"If I knew magic, I wouldn't use it on grass first. Instead, I would use it on my mother-in-law who has been treating my daughter-in-law like a cow or a horse without giving her anything to eat. I would also use it on my sister-in-law and brother-in-law who have been bullying my sister-in-law." Bai Haitang.
When she said this, Lamei under the bed was worried about her. The old woman was the best at playing tricks and pinching her ears, and Sister Haitang suffered a lot.
"How dare you talk back!" The mother-in-law pulled out a ruler from behind and was about to hit Bai Haitang.
Bai Haitang grabbed the ruler and took it from her mother-in-law's hand. Each of them grabbed one end and neither of them let go.
"If you don't tell me what witchcraft you used, I will beat you until you do." My mother-in-law was about to go out and call for help. She also had two long-term helpers.
"Do you eat eggs?" Bai Haitang asked.
"What?"
"When you eat eggs, do you ask which hen laid them?" Bai Haitang added.
The mother-in-law didn't know what she was talking about.
"The truth is, when the weeds in the field are dead, you can just wait to harvest them. As for the method I used, it doesn't matter. Even if it is a black magic, it will only do you good and no harm. If you beat me to death, you will have no harm.
If I drive you out, who will be your ox or horse in the future?" Bai Haitang said and let go of the other end of the ruler.
The mother-in-law was stunned for a while. This daughter-in-law could only beg for mercy before, but now she dared to talk back and refute! She was really going crazy! She didn't want to kill her, she just wanted to teach her a lesson.
"The farmers in the field are in a bad situation. They will borrow money from the old rich man again this year. If they don't pay it by then, I'm afraid they will have to take your daughter to pay off the debt and become the old rich man's tenth concubine. I'm hungry."
Skinny and bones." Bai Haitang began to present the facts and reason. To subdue her mother-in-law, she needed various strategies, and intimidation was one of them.
The mother-in-law frowned when she heard this. If the old rich man was not so stingy, it would be a good thing to marry him and enjoy his life as a concubine, but that iron cock is really worthless.
"My brother-in-law is quite old and has not yet married a wife. Isn't it because of the lack of dowry? My sister-in-law is also quite old. No one comes to propose marriage. Isn't it because there is no dowry?" Bai Haitang got to the point.
