## Chapter 1799 – The Korean-American
“How can you be so cute! Even cuter than our Liz when she was little!”
“Eub-eub.”
My mother-in-law was pinching and kneading Zbell’s cheeks. She was just like a mochi.
“Could it be because she got our son-in-law’s genes?”
“Hehe, to be coldly objective, Mother-in-law? Zbell is pretty because she looks like Liz. But!”
“Yes?”
“If we go back further, she resembles you, Mother-in-law! That’s why Zbell is so pretty!”
Let’s praise my mother-in-law’s beauty with all my might!
“Hohoho! Son-in-law! You’re so good with words!”
My mother-in-law laughed heartily, pleased.
Normally, a good mother-in-law likes her son-in-law.
“I was just stating facts, but it’s considered being good with words. Is the world too lenient?”
“I’m dying of laughter!”
I think I’m going to die too…!
“Grandma! Tell me stories about when Mom was little!”
“Okay, okay! I will!”
And so, my mother-in-law told Zbell stories about Liz when she was young. Some of them I was hearing for the first time. But just listening to the stories, she was wild, just like Liz.
“Liz was such a tomboy, but our Zbell is so gentle. Grandma is so happy.”
“Hehehe, you’re right.”
ㅡStroke, stroke.
She stroked Zbell’s hair as she spoke.
“Do you even know what Zbell’s hobby is? It’s cooking, cooking. She’s always making something for me. And it’s so delicious.”
“Papa. If you say that, I’ll be embarrassed.”
“It’s the truth.”
“Cooking! How can she have such a cute hobby! Liz’s hobby was hitting things!”
My mother-in-law looked at Zbell with her hands clasped together, her face full of emotion. Wow, but my mother-in-law really looks exactly like Liz.
Maybe it’s because she drank the elixir I gave her like water. She doesn’t seem to age at all. I could believe she was Liz’s older sister.
“Then, Grandma! I’ll make something for you!”
“Sob! I’m getting a meal cooked by my granddaughter…!”
“Zbell! Make your best dish!”
“Yes! Papa!”
Zbell immediately went to make food. I’m looking forward to this. Everything Zbell makes is delicious.
“Son-in-law! Thank you so much!”
“Hehehe, thank Zbell.”
“But the second one is a grandson, right?”
“Aigoo. Even I don’t know about that.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes.”
“Well, if a grandson doesn’t come out, we can just keep making them until one does!”
“Of course! No! Even if one comes out, I’ll make more!”
“Kalkalkal!”
My mother-in-law clapped and laughed as if she was having the time of her life. My shoulders were naturally shaking too. Well, I enjoyed this time while eating the food Zbell made.
* * *
After finishing the meal, saying everything I needed to say to my mother-in-law, and playing with Zbell for a while, I returned. Now, shall I go see Winia?
ㅡWhoosh.
I immediately made a gate and went to Winia’s room.
“Ah, Blackie!”
Winia was sitting across from Jenia, drinking tea. What? Were they talking?
“Oh! Winia! What’s wrong! You’re talking to Jenia?”
“Blackie abandoned me!”
“Hehe, well, she said she had something to talk about. What could I do?”
I do nag Jenia quite a bit, but it’s not like I have no affection for her at all. I can do that much.
“But Winia. What were you talking about?”
“Oh, nothing much.”
“Ugh, ugh… Son-in-law.”
Jenia called me, her head bowed and looking exhausted. What on earth did she hear to be so deflated again?
“She just said she wanted to see her grandchildren. So, we negotiated a bit.”
“Do you have to negotiate?”
ㅡSmooth.
I immediately went to Winia’s side, touched her face, and kissed her forehead. Winia rubbed her face against mine, looking like she was about to die of happiness.
“Anyway, we decided to show her the second child when it’s born. Well, we have to show her the face.”
“Then I guess I’ll see you next time.”
So, Jenia is thinking of showing her the face of the second child because she’s the grandmother. Seeing this, Winia has become quite gentle.
“Can’t I see them more often…”
But Jenia looks very tired.
“We have to strictly set a time to see them. If we show them all the time, their faces will wear out.”
“That’s not how it works…”
“Am I wrong?”
“No! You’re right! Winia is right!”
“That’s right! If you listen well, I’ll show them to you more often!”
“Sniff!”
I’m going to die of laughter. Looking at Jenia reminds me of Mariel. Maybe it’s because they’re both fun to nag. Well, they’re kind of endearing in their own way.
Ah, come to think of it?
Having Jenia in front of me made me think of Winia’s father. I heard that they only had a marriage of convenience, so they would just impregnate Jenia whenever they needed a child and then leave, a very dry relationship.
It’s a bit strange, but to summarize:
Whenever Jenia thought she needed to get pregnant, she would call that so-called husband and sleep with him. That husband would only come when Jenia called him, impregnate her, and then coolly leave. There are quite a few sisters to Winia, and they were all born in that process.
There’s no affection between them, and all they do is have sex for pregnancy. They sleep together for a few days until she gets pregnant, and then he leaves immediately. Winia said she doesn’t know anything about her father at all. Similarly, there’s no affection. So, she’s not interested, and she doesn’t even know his face.
It’s very unique.
A man who only impregnates a woman like Jenia and then leaves. I’m personally curious, but I don’t want to meet him.
“Hmm.”
Compared to that kind of existence, Jenia is blessed. She still sends elixirs occasionally because she’s the mother. Winia takes care of her sometimes.
“Son-in-law! Let me see Nick too! Winia doesn’t want to!”
“Jenia? Why are you calling Blackie in front of me?”
“But! You’re not going to show me Nick!”
“That’s because you keep doing that! Behave yourself!”
Should I ask Nick about this?
“Then Winia. I’ll go talk to Nick.”
“No, is there a need to do that?”
“Son-in-law! Thank you! I won’t forget this kindness!”
I’m just doing a few things for her as much as I nagged her.
The choice is Nick’s.
* * *
I immediately went to find Nick.
“Nicknickni.”
“No, please! Dad! How can you do that greeting every day!”
“Why. I only do it once in a while. It’s fun.”
“It might be once in a while for Dad, but I hear it every day…!”
What’s wrong with it.
“Anyway, Nick. Do you know anything about your grandmother?”
“Grandmother?”
Nick tilted his head.
“Well, I know her. I’ve seen her a few times. She looks almost exactly like Mom.”
“That’s right.”
“But it’s a bit strange. I haven’t seen Grandma much, and I haven’t talked to her much either. Mom seemed uncomfortable. Oh, speaking of which. Do Dad and Mom both not like Grandma?”
Nick asked a very sharp question. As expected of my son. He has a good sense of things.
“Yeah. We hate her guts.”
“Really? Really?”
“I even beat her up a few times in the old days.”
“What is that!”
Nick grabbed his head in shock.
“No, why? Dad is a fusion Confucian, so he’s supposed to be respectful to his in-laws, right? Why did you beat up poor Grandma like that?”
I haven’t really explained it to Nick properly, so let’s explain it this time.
“She deserved it, your grandmother. Since we’re talking about it, let me explain. Do you know what your grandmother did?”
“What did she do? No… I can’t imagine that kind-looking grandmother doing something bad…”
“Kind-looking grandmother?”
“Yeah. She liked me a lot when she saw me.”
Jenia had that side to her too.
“Anyway, to continue the explanation… she treated Winia like garbage.”
“Garbage?”
“Yeah. She just did. Jenia treated all the children in the family as political objects. Profitable objects at that. She treated Winia like that, so how could I stand it? I immediately stormed into the family and beat them all up.”
I can’t stand it when someone treats my wife like an object, no matter what.
I powerfully crushed them with my big-boob-swinging skills back then.
Thinking about treating someone like an object reminds me of Cloudie again.
Cloudie’s father, Barganel. He was a real bastard. That bastard also treated Cloudie like an object. He abandoned Cloudie so coolly, but he was shameless enough to contact me after learning about me.
So, I beat him up. I haven’t heard from him since. I don’t care. He’s a dark elf, so he’s probably still alive, but Cloudie doesn’t care either, so I’m just leaving it alone.
“Treating Mom like an object… that’s too much.”
“Right? So, I beat her up and nagged her every time I saw her. And that’s how we got to where we are now.”
“No, what is that? Well, Zbell’s grandmother doesn’t do that. She seems like a very nice person.”
“That’s right. Liz’s mother-in-law is a very nice person. But that’s a rare thing. Nick. You know this too, but when you get married later, huh?”
“What are you going to talk about again…”
“Look closely at the character of your in-laws. I had a lot of in-laws, but if I didn’t like them, I cut them all off. I just beat them up.”
“What kind of person is this man!”
“Hehehe.”
This guy will find out later when he gets married.
Come to think of it, I cut off a lot of in-laws.
Karin’s father. I have memories of him too. He died of old age. Karin said she didn’t think much about it. Similarly, she didn’t visit him, and she just treated him like a stranger. She completely cut off her feelings for him in her heart.
The Vestart family… I don’t even know what happened to them. I went there and smashed all the members of the family. I haven’t cared about what they’re doing since then.
“Ah, Dad. Then Karin Auntie, Risha Auntie, and Cloudie Auntie. I don’t think I’ve seen the grandmothers and grandfathers of the other aunties either. Did Dad cut them all off?”
“Yeah. Dad cut them all off.”
“This guy is really crazy! People of the town! There’s a crazy person here! What did you do to the poor grandmothers and grandfathers with those muscles!”
Nick screamed, freaking out.
“Hey, hey. Don’t be ridiculous. You’ll understand everything when you hear Dad’s story, right?”
“No matter what, that doesn’t make sense! What happened!”
“That Risha. It’s the story of Risha’s father-in-law.”
“Why! What did Risha Auntie’s grandmothers and grandfathers do!”
“Here. They invaded the planet. They brought a dimensional fleet and smashed the city and the country. It was a great war.”
“No, what the hell are you talking about!!!”
Nick jumped again.
That’s a bit surprising.
