778. Chapter 778 What did dad think at the beginning
"People from my mother's family all come with gifts. Rice, millet, quilts, wine, these are not gifts from them. You, my daughter and son-in-law, don't understand the etiquette of the Chinese New Year, so you just come empty-handed.
We still need to eat, forget about eating, we still have to stay for a few days, do you recognize such a girl? She is not from our Bai family at all." The stepmother's high-pitched voice almost shouted.
She spoke in a certain way, and Haitang could tell that it was the result of constant training.
I really don’t know what this dad was thinking about finding such a wife...
"My daughter wants to eat chicken, and today I'm going to sell everything so that she can eat it. No one can stop her. Haitang is my favorite!" Haitang's father glared at his stepmother fiercely.
At this point, Haitang really couldn't tell, who of the two of them was afraid of whom, and who was more in charge?
Her stepmother made Haitang feel cold, and sometimes her biological father's words made Haitang quite touched.
Father Haitang went to kill the chicken happily.
There were only Haitang, Datong, Tiantian, stepmother and fat son in the house.
"You are not allowed to eat my chickens. All my chickens belong to me." The fat son saw that his mother regarded Haitang as an enemy, so she was also his enemy.
"The price of pork has gone up now. How else are you going to keep yourself fat? You can raise it for a few more years and sell it as pork." Haitang said with a smile.
"Mom, has the price of pork increased?" The fat son didn't know what Haitang meant, so he turned around and asked his mother.
"Silly son, she is scolding you!" the stepmother was unhappy.
"If you are greedy for meat, cook and eat your own child." The stepmother glared at Haitang.
"Haha, my child is too young, but your son is not bad. He has a lot of meat and is thick. He can save some food and eat it all winter long..." Haitang was not angry at all. She regarded it as the joy of returning to her parents' home.
After hearing this, the stepmother pinched her fat son so hard that he burst into tears, "Go and tell your father that Bai Haitang is greedy for meat and wants to cook you as meat!"
The fat son ran to the chicken shed crying while wiping his tears.
Datong doesn't care about these things, he just holds Tiantian, makes her happy, makes her laugh, and lets Haitang handle these household chores by herself.
"No wonder you can get married. It turns out that you only know how to smile when you marry a stupid husband." The stepmother looked at Datong with disdain.
"Have you never heard that stupid people are lucky? Some people are so treacherous that they have nothing in the end." Haitang said calmly.
"Hey, you're talking like you're rich and powerful. If you were really rich and powerful, you wouldn't come to your parents' house empty-handed, let alone wear such a piece of clothing that's patched beyond repair. Just accept being poor.
Well, I'm not from a wealthy family, and I can't pretend to be anything like it." The stepmother knew that Bai Haitang was destined to be poor.
Although the stepmother's clothes also had patches, they only had two or three patches, while Haitang's clothes were almost covered in patches...
If you think of it as a sharp contrast, you can naturally see which family's life was relatively good and whose life was relatively poor in an era when poverty was common.
"If you see it, I won't hide it. In fact, I came here this time to borrow money." Haitang said.
"Borrow money, huh..." The stepmother made a disdainful sound from her nose, knowing that it was not a good thing for her to come here! If you want to borrow money, there is no way!
"Do you regret that you didn't bundle me up and sell me to a brothel so that you could give your fat son some food and drink?" Haitang asked, still smiling.
