Kampong chicken soup was quite easily prepared in the olden days in Sibu. Kampong chicken was very tasty and something a family would look forward to, probably once a month or in some cases, once a week depending on various economic factors. It was always festive when a family had chicken on the table.
One family in Sibu had a step mother who brought her own children to the marriage. These step children would always eat before the other members of the family. The step mother would of course keep the special cuts for her husband. However unknown to the step mother, one of the sons from the first wife was clever enough to pour out half the soup of the chicken for his own siblings. This took place several times until the step mother found out.
As a consequence, the children from the first marriage were always given watered down chicken soup and the poor cuts of the chicken. As soon as they were old enough, they were sent off to study in boarding schools and not allowed to come back until the end of the year.
The poor father never knew all these evil deeds until he died.
