Chapter 877 – #97. Lanna (37)
“Isn’t that why I should call my mother’s sister?”
There is a blind date with my mother-in-law and a meeting with an adult father-in-law.
“How do you write this?”
“I put it on my face. It’s said to be good for skin whitening and wrinkle improvement.”
“This would be very effective, wouldn’t it?”
“Since I bought something with a very good effect, wouldn’t it make me look younger for at least 10 years with this?”
“My mom must have asked for it with an exaggeration, but wouldn’t it be too strange if she really made me 20 years younger?”
“Shouldn’t your mother-in-law make sure to brag about her son-in-law?”
“Anyway, 20 years have gone too far. Let’s make it 10 years.”
Lanna desperately blocked her husband’s house.
20 years is something if I just leave it alone.
Thirty years would make her younger, so that she would call her mother her sister.
“Ten years? Have you already bought this much?”
“I’ll write this in a hurry.”
She took care of what she needed from what her husband brought.
And she has mostly set aside the things her mother needs.
“I will pass this on to my mother.”
“Yes. Then I take my mother-in-law to the department store. I pay with my credit card.”
“Why are you doing that? It’s not like I don’t have money.”
“It doesn’t matter whose money it is. What matters is that your son-in-law bought it for you.”
It will make your mother-in-law more happy that her son-in-law bought it for you than her daughter bought it for you.
Unable to agree with her husband, she was forced to accept her card.
When her black card touched her palm, she felt unusually heavy in her hand.
“Don’t buy the cheap ones, cover everything from head to toe with expensive items. And don’t forget to wear rings, necklaces, handbags, and even shoes.”
“So far?”
In that case, it is obvious that the unit of money to be scraped will increase by several digits.
“You have to do that to stand up for your mother-in-law.”
“…Okay. But is it just this time?”
“Yes.”
At this time, it is regrettable that her husband has no family.
She wanted to give to her husband’s family as much as he had done to herself, but since there is no one to do so, there is nothing she can do.
However, she cannot directly say that she regrets this.
Because it could hurt her husband who doesn’t have a family for her.
I met her mother with the card her husband gave me and went to the department store to do a lot of shopping.
Her mother, who had been somewhat depressed about her father’s story, said that she did a lot of shopping at the department store, and she seemed to feel better. She went around smiling all day long.
“Ugh, shopping is so hard.”
“I don’t know if I can buy this many.”
“Okay. Has your son-in-law ever said anything about spending a lot of money?”
“No. I feel like I’m dreaming lately. I wonder if I can be able to live like this thanks to my daughter. I couldn’t raise you to be this precious.”
“What are you talking about? Mom did all her mom could.”
“You couldn’t buy me anything pretty like this when you were young, and you couldn’t spend time with me.”
Lanna said that her mother was weak, so her heart was not good, so she replied pointedly.
“What did she do that her mother couldn’t do for her? She did everything until she got out of college.
“Because you are treated well by your son-in-law, eat good food, travel and live in good places.
My husband never spared money for our children.
When her mother sees that, she should just be happy, but she didn’t know that it would be caught in her heart that she hadn’t done to herself.
“Mom deserves it. Her daddy abandoned her heartlessly, but she took care of me.”
“That’s what a mother should do. Isn’t she enjoying herself so much that she deserved it for what she did for you?
“Mother’s daughter is good. Her daughter is good, so her son-in-law is good to her mother-in-law.”
“Yes, my daughter is great.”
In fact, she wasn’t even good at her abilities, and she didn’t do anything great.
Being able to enjoy this wealth is all because of luck.
The ‘luck’ of being able to meet her husband.
But she didn’t want to tell her mother such a heavy truth.
She hoped that at least she would think that she met her now husband because of her abilities.
“What will you say when you meet your dad? You’ve decorated it so pretty and it’s so cool, but it should be rewarding.”
On the way home from her drive, Ranna asked a question about her dad and her mom’s reunion.
What will her mother say when she sees her father?
Now that she’s heard the circumstances, I think she might be able to sympathize with her dad.
“I don’t think I sympathize with my dad, do I? I don’t think I’ll ever see that. I don’t know if the two of us will meet again, but I’ll never see one-sided sympathy.”
“Sympathy? Why do I sympathize with that person? I heard that he remarried a young woman and is living a good life.”
“Even if I say this now, if I see it in person, I think she’ll think I feel sorry for her, so she’s worried.”
“Your father, are you that old? When you were young, you were popular because you were a student.”
Yeah, since he went out well in his old age, wouldn’t he have found a woman and got married again at that age?
“It means that there is a woman who will take care of my dad, so I don’t have to take care of her mother.”
The age difference between them is 14 years old, she was told.
If you’re living with a girl that young, even when she’s old, she won’t be sad and lonely.
On the other hand, what about her mother?
Her mother lived through all her hardships until she met her now husband and her life suddenly became easier.
“Okay. Even if you don’t keep telling me like this, I’ll take care of it. Stop nagging me. Why do you nag me the older you get?”
“If Mom is good, I won’t do this! Her heart is too weak to ride, Mom.”
For a long time, her father had affections for several women, but her mother said that she was raising herself, and she had no chance to give affection to others.
“I’m going to pour it out coolly, so you’re just waiting for me. Even if you don’t nag me, you’ll do well. You say you’re going to pour everything out without looking twice?”
“…Then do you want to go get your hair done?”
“Huh? Up to the head?”
“Since I bought it new from head to toe, let’s do my hair and nails.”
Her mother hated the word Nail.
“Ooh! What kind of nails are for someone who has to put their hands in water. How do you want to make me?”
“The prettiest mum. I hope her daddy is so pretty that she regrets abandoning us. And she’s got a kitchen lady, does she still wash the dishes?”
“It’s just drinking something like a cup and washing it. And do you regret everything about being pretty? Your dad isn’t that kind of person.”
“That’s because mom doesn’t know men. She says she’ll regret it if she’s a man?”
“Who said that. Could it be the son-in-law?”
“Huh.”
Mom asked again if she couldn’t believe her son-in-law had said that.
“My mother fantasizes too much about her son-in-law. She tells me how good he is at making jokes. I like to tease him too.”
“It’s good to be serious, but it’s good to be relaxed like that. Do you know how boring your dad is?”
Suddenly, the story of the old days came up, and the story of the days when mom and dad were dating came up.
Until now, the word ‘dad’ was a word that had to be avoided between her mother and her.
But now I was able to speak without any hesitation.
Just burying her like her husband said wasn’t a good thing.
“I think it’s the first time I’ve talked to my mom like this.”
“When I was young, whenever I talked about my dad, I couldn’t speak because you cried. Because my dad left because of my mom, I felt sorry for you so I couldn’t show my face.”
“Later, when I grew up, I think I noticed my mother. When I was young, my wounds were more urgent, but as she grew up, her wounds came into her eyes.”
Looking at each other’s wounds like that, even though the years have passed for so long, they couldn’t willingly try to touch each other.
“The last time I met my dad. Hearing that he had heart surgery, I just thought of that. Unless he asked me to see him.”
“…”
“I kept thinking about it until later, and then I started thinking maybe I might have seen my dad at a funeral.”
“Yes, you really did meet your husband. What kind of husband would advise you to meet your wife’s father-in-law? He helped you like this. You should always be grateful to your husband.”
It was thanks to her husband that she was able to get revenge on the woman, and before her dad got into trouble, she made sure they had a reunion so she wouldn’t regret it.
She owed her husband so much that she couldn’t figure out how to pay it off.
“I’m always grateful. It’s a problem because I don’t know how to pay it back.”
“If you’re grateful, you can do well on a regular basis.”
“But I’m pregnant with triplets, isn’t this enough?”
“…That’s right. Ugh~ How many months did you say? My stomach seems to have started to come out already.”
I don’t know how long it’s been since I’ve spent time like this with my mom.
‘No, isn’t this the first time?’
She’s so unfilial.
She sent her mother on a trip with her friends to do her best, but that was her husband’s job, not her own.
The only thing she did was take the time to shop with her for her mother, who was going to see her dad after all.
“Are you tired?”
I was exhausted after completing the perfect setting from hairdressing to nails.
She and her mother went to the massage parlor one last time to relieve her fatigue and return to her house.
“I’m really having a good time today. I tried getting a massage with my daughter. I’m already excited about how I should brag to my friends.”
“Boast to your friends, and be sure to brag to your dad. Then, you go on a blind date with the person you were supposed to be introduced to. You know?”
Her mother’s expression flutters with excitement at the word blind date.
But at the same time, there seemed to be a lot of concern.
I promised my dad that I would pour it all out coolly, but at times like this, I’m shy as if I’m a girl again.
“He said his job was an actor? What if I covered her face? My mother isn’t pretty.”
“Can’t you believe her mother-in-law? And why isn’t she beautiful?”
“Your partner is of a high level. Actor! Anyone who learns? And having your mother rejected and trusting your son-in-law are two different problems. Do you know how long it’s been since you’ve met a man? It’s a bit embarrassing to meet a new guy at this age. It’s deep, too.”
“Why is that funny? Do you think it’s easy to meet a pretty girl this young at your mother’s age?”
Lanna decided to give her courage to her mother who couldn’t get her courage.
She dragged her mother to her mirror.
“Now, take a look in the mirror. Are you still not confident?”
I am a mother who puts on her appearance all day long.
If it’s not pretty, isn’t it a waste of money spent?
There’s one thing I’ve felt in my life, ‘Money doesn’t lie.’ It was said.
