Chapter 363 – #55. Gangster Mother-in-Law (2)
“I’ll tell you before I talk, but you can accept this.”
“Yes? You want me to take this?”
“It’s a gift that’s no big deal to that person. No, on the contrary, he would be happy to see you feeling burdened.”
“…”
“So, don’t look like you’re surprised or burdened by something like this. I’m going to use that to dig in.”
My sister said that she would patronize her with burdensome gifts she didn’t want and later use that as an excuse to ask for something.
“Then why don’t you accept this gift?”
“Even if you say you won’t accept what you gave to receive, there’s no way that person will be obedient and agree to know. They’ll probably try to give you something bigger, asking if you didn’t like the gift. The more you reject, the bigger the unit will grow.”
“Can’t I just say no because I’m burdened?”
“It’s a gift for my first son-in-law, so I’ll say there’s no need to feel pressured. Even if that’s not the case, there are plenty of excuses from that side. Because persuasion doesn’t work. They just force their own thoughts.”
“…”
I could tell from every word my sister said what she thought of her family.
Why she had no choice but to run out of there at such a young age.
How much thought she had to go through before she made that decision.
I thought she was fine, but I was worried about her because she seemed a little agitated.
“If you don’t accept it, you force it to accept it. If you refuse, you’ll be even more annoying. So it’s better to accept it cleanly.”
“… Sister, are you okay?”
“Haa~ It’s still okay. Even though I knew this would happen one day, I was embarrassed when I shut up. I was unknowingly excited. I didn’t expect to touch you first.”
Sister Yeonjoo was very worried that I would be harmed by my mother-in-law.
Even though I knew my ability, it was enough to warn me again, so it seemed that the memories of being harassed by the people there remained very bad.
“How do you like me? I will do as you wish.”
“Are you going to do what I want? I wish I could really do that.”
Unfortunately, my sister showed a bitter smile, saying that she probably wouldn’t be able to do that.
“Please say something. How would you like me to do it My sister is having such a hard time, but I can’t stay still.”
“You can just stay still. I will protect you.”
“Yeah! There must be something I can do.”
When I brushed my sister off again, she opened her mouth as if there was nothing she could do.
“What would you do if that person came over and asked to meet you for a minute?”
“Uh… Should we meet?”
“What I want is to firmly refuse to say I don’t like it. Can you do it?”
I came to see you in person, but you refused?
A son-in-law married to a daughter?
No matter how bad my relationship with my sister was, it was difficult for me, a strong young man in Korea, to do such a thing.
“If you come to me in person, I don’t think you will be able to refuse.”
“That’s right. You won’t Because there is something in your position.”
In the end, all Yeonju sister wanted from me was to treat her mother-in-law harshly.
I don’t know what she’s going to do to charm me and take her hyeonoh.
“Don’t worry. I will protect you.”
“What are you going to do?”
“If you ignore this approach, you will suffer more damage, so I will go and build a veneer myself. I know you’re not one to be told that, but it’s good to warn you.”
“Then do this. I will follow you there.”
I didn’t want Yeon Joo-suna to bear all the burden on her own.
Isn’t Yeon-joo’s sister not the only mother of Hyeon-oh?
I was Hyun-oh’s father too.
“Try to follow me wherever you are!”
“I am Hyun-oh’s father too. I’m protecting Hyeono, but is it right for me to stay still? And you said that your mother-in-law would keep approaching me. Wouldn’t your mother-in-law be hesitant if I followed her and made my will clear?”
“…”
“It will be much more effective than having a sister go alone. Rather than meeting and talking to my mother-in-law by myself, I feel more comfortable talking to my sister when she is next to me.”
Yeon Joo began to think about whether my words were quite persuasive.
“If possible, I would prefer not to run into that person. It’s because it’s not good to meet and get entangled.”
“Still, I am not a person who cannot live without seeing his face once in his life. I think it’s much better to prepare and solve problems so they don’t happen at all than to wait for them to happen.”
“Is it really so? There’s no way that person would give up his greed…”
“Try and think. If not, then you can find another way. It will be more refreshing to try and fail than to be scared and not try at all.”
Even if it fails, I think it’s worthwhile just to try something.
I wonder how stubborn Yeon Joo’s sister would go so far.
I’ve only met my mother-in-law once, but at that time, I didn’t feel like a mean person like Yeonjoo said.
In fact, it was not enough time to know for sure what kind of person he was, so he was just assuming that Yeonjoo’s sister was right.
‘When we met, my sister thoroughly prevented us from having conversations, so we couldn’t find out more.’
The only thing I met back then was when Hyeon-oh was born and I couldn’t bear to refuse my mother-in-law who asked to see her grandchild and showed it to her just once.
The mother-in-law I first met was a very nice woman, unlike the image of her I had heard from Yeon-ju.
She was wearing her suit with her white hair neatly tied up, and she had a very toned body, perhaps because she lived in a world of punching.
In particular, she had great charisma and force that could not be hidden, and knowing her job, I could understand at once that she was a person from that world, even if it was her.
‘Still, I don’t think he’s the kind of person who goes out recklessly to the extent that my sister would say.’
When she quietly listened to Yeonjoo’s older sister, her mother-in-law was ignorant, violent, and even careless.
I’m a human too, so I was looking at my mother-in-law with her arms bent inward, unable to fully escape the image my sister had created for me.
“Are you really okay? I hate the thought of taking you to such an inhospitable place.”
Sister Yeon Jo puts her hand on my cheek and shows her concern.
“Actually, it’s kind of scary. You have a rather unique job. But when she said that my sister was by my side, I mustered up courage.”
“I will not pass that on to Hyeon-oh. I’m a person who doesn’t work with persuasion, but I won’t stop you if you want to try. If there’s anything you want to do, you can do it all. Leave the clean up to me.”
I wonder if it’s okay to be like this as a man, but I can’t help but feel grand because Yeon Joo is holding on.
Sister Yeon-joo said that since she had made a decision, she wouldn’t have to wait long, so she contacted her mother-in-law’s side and quickly set up an appointment with her.
And they made an appointment very quickly, as if it was a lie that they hadn’t moved like a mouse until now.
That’s how I was invited to my mother-in-law’s house in just two days.
♧ ♧ ♧
When I first saw my mother-in-law’s house, I was surprised at the overwhelming size at first, and then surprised that it was a tile-roofed house, which is hard to find these days.
The beautiful tile-roofed house, which can only be seen in dramas, makes people feel the old atmosphere, but it seems that there is no inconvenience in living because it has modern conveniences mixed in it.
And the last thing that surprised me.
‘Wow, that’s a real black suit.’
It was the fact that women in black suits surrounding the luxurious tile-roofed house were not bored.
Some people were wearing light clothes, but even those people were unconditionally black.
And all of their bodies were full of colorful tattoos.
There is a tiger, there is a dragon, there is a pig, there is a suzaku…
I couldn’t see everything because it was hidden under my clothes, but I could easily guess which animal was drawn.
“”Is the lady here!””
Wow, what a surprise.
I hesitated and took a backward step at the greeting of the gangsters who bowed their heads 90 degrees loudly.
Yeon-joo, who was called “The lady,” Looked around and got annoyed.
“You want to do it now? Why are there so many people? I’m going to call everyone together and do something.”
“No, lady! It wasn’t because the boss ordered it, but when the baby boy said he was coming, everyone gathered like this because they wanted to see it.”
In fact, the gangsters around me were staring at Hyeon-oh in my arms.
Hyeon-o was asleep in his arms on the way home.
“Why are you looking at my son? What does it matter.”
“”Sorry!””
Hueng!
Hyeon-oh finally woke up, probably because he heard a series of loud voices.
While he was soothing Hyeon-oh, who was struggling to sleep, someone came out of the room as if he had heard the commotion.
It was a young woman and a charismatic woman with white hair, that is, her mother-in-law.
“”Are you out, Boss!””
Aww!
“Haha! The old man’s cries are so loud.”
“You call people and show off things like this like a brag. Get them all out. I didn’t bring you to see them.”
“They came here because they wanted to see the child, but what are they asking me to do? Even when you were young, you were so pretty that you didn’t know what to do!”
“So what? Send it back. Or I’ll just go back.”
“Oops… Tsk tsk! It’s tricky. What a great thing to show a child once. Hey everyone, go back! Come back later!”
“”Yes, Boss!””
The gangsters who heard the boss’s order disappeared very quickly, just like the speed at which they rushed in.
The yard, which had been filled with black, became empty in an instant, and Hyeon-oh watched the tremendous sight wide-eyed.
I even forgot what I was whining about.
Far from crying, Hyeon-oh’s bright eyes are full of curiosity.
It wasn’t strange that I was always at home and came to a strange place after a long time, so it was strange to be amazed.
“Keuheum, welcome.”
My mother-in-law, who had been fighting a war of nerves with Yeon-joo, turned her gaze toward me and pretended to know me first.
I greeted politely.
“Hello, mother-in-law. Long time no see. How are you.”
“It took a lot of hard work to come. What will happen to the old man no matter what happens. I just live alone without doing anything all day.”
“You keep doing that, don’t you? I don’t know what else they say that they want to try because they are old.”
“It is still chilly. Come on in Catch a cold.”
He calmly ignored Yeonjoo’s words, gestured to her to come in, and then entered the house first.
Rather than worrying about me, it seemed that he was worried about Hyeon-oh.
“We are going in too.”
“I don’t know if bringing Hyeon-oh was a good thing. It’s embarrassing to see you already being greedy.”
“You didn’t say that directly. Don’t guess. And Hyun-oh must have liked coming here to play. I thought he would be scared, but his eyes are bright. It must be nice to be outside after a long time.”
“… I have to hurry up and finish my overseas branch work and come back.”
Yeon-joo’s sister smiled as if she couldn’t stand Hyeon-oh because he was so lovable, honey dripping from his eyes.
As soon as I entered the house, I was very nervous at the unexpected appearance of gangsters, but seeing my sister smile seemed to ease the tension.
