I Become a Doting Father chapter 239
Silence
“What are you doing when you don’t come in?”
Min Hong-im throws a short word and goes inside.
They said while looking at each other for no reason.
“…It goes in.”
“Okay. You should come in too.
The man who burns cigarettes in the back is Choi.
The intonation.
“Whoo…”
As Lee Ju-won’s uncle, he was also the man who exchanged the sharpest arguments at the funeral hall.
He replied with a half-burned cigarette in his hand.
“Go in first.” I’ll just light this up and follow you in.”
“Oh, really…” “How can you come all the way here and smoke?”
“I don’t have kids, so who cares?”
Certainly, it was quite different from the usual New Year’s Day.
Because no family brought a child as if they had promised.
It wasn’t a coincidence. I haven’t said it directly yet, but I knew it all.
that their children will hear something that’s not good for their emotions.
girl
In fact, they had to bring it up as well, but it was an uncomfortable topic to bring up.
So it wasn’t a strange thing. I couldn’t go in easily and I was standing…
case
But I can’t stand still forever.
At Minhong’s words, they began to enter the house one by one.
Some awkward greetings continued.
“How have you been, mom?” Nothing happened.
You, right?
“Are you healthy?”
“It’s been a while since I’ve been here, but I’m still the same hahaha.”
There were also people who tried to open their mouths with a contrived smile.
Nevertheless, Minhong’s expression is…
There was no change in run.
Sliding down.
In the midst of that, the door opens. It was Choi Seong-jo, who came in after burning all his cigarettes.
“The door is a little squeaky.” I need to look at your hands.
Later, he saw Min Hong-im and continued to talk.
“Hello, mother-in-law. Hmm…” Nothing special.
You don’t have it, do you?
A fishy smile flowed around Min Hong-im’s mouth.
I’m asking if everything is okay again. How can we all say the same greeting?
It’s a problem that you can find out just by talking on the phone sometimes.
Soon after, a word came out of Min Hong-im’s mouth.
“It’s weird that there’s something going on.” “Nothing has changed except that time has passed.”
It wasn’t direct, but it was a word with bones.
Saying that nothing has changed.
A brief silence followed by Choi Sung-jo’s answer.
11
“No way, nothing has changed.” Looking at it, I think you and Joo Won got along really well. And… With Yeondoo…
Taeyeon who freezes even her relatives.
It was Ham.
I can’t believe I’m calling my Yeondoo, the only child I’ve seen at the funeral hall.
Furthermore, there were situations that took place in front of the child.
However, there was still no movement in Min Hong-im’s expression.
The atmosphere inside the house has gotten heavier.
Flag
“Let’s give him a bow first.”
“That’s right.”
An awkward temple continued in a chilly atmosphere.
“Happy New Year”.
“Have a long life…”
After one person, the next person. After the next person, the next person.
Where is there such a formal New Year’s bow?
A fishy smile that touches Minhong’s mouth again.
*
“Yeah. It was always like this.”
Come to think of it, it was no different than usual.
I always felt this way whenever I received a new boat during the holidays.
New Year’s greetings that you can’t find any sincerity.
Nevertheless, it is not just because of the problem of Yeondoo that makes me feel this way now.
While watching the New Year’s bow in front of me, another scene was emerging in my head.
“Have a happy new year, grandma!”
“You have to be healthier in the new year.”
Rat drops and grandchildren’s New Year’s bow and New Year’s greetings.
It was not a special greeting, but there was a clear difference.
I could feel it clearly from their expressions.
Under the current circumstances, the “truth” that cannot be found no matter how much you wash your eyes.
*
Sliding down.
At the end of the New Year’s bow, it opened up late.
“… Everyone’s here. Sorry for being late.
He was Minhongim’s youngest son, Kim Yunho.
All
Among Lee Ju-won’s maternal relatives, he was one of the youngest.
All
He’s the one who brought Yeondoo to the funeral.
“How have you been, mom?” I’m sorry I couldn’t come often. I can barely get in touch with him.
It was the most different first greeting. Minhong will answer by looking at the cam.
I took the place of
Next to her, Kim Da-young opened her mouth.
“We’ve all said hello, Yunho. You raise me, too.”
“Oh, yes, noona.”
Kim Yun-ho put down his bag and sat in front of Min Hong-im.
Then, he raised his bow to the New Year’s bow.
“Happy New Year”. I hope you are healthier this year.”
New Year’s bow that ended with Kim Yun Ho.
Originally, New Year’s bow was not a one-sided greeting.
It was a custom to greet each other and exchange words of blessing.
“Happy New Year, everyone.”
If it had ended like this, it would have been warm.
Regardless of the sincerity, it was a holiday without incompatibility in the eyes of a third party. However, as everyone expected, the situation did not go that way.
“Hmm. Since we’re all here, I have something to say.”
It was Choi Seong-jo who brought up the story again this time.
It may seem shameless, but from someone’s point of view, it seemed to be taking the lead.
I was expecting every single one of them. What story will come out of his mouth.
Sure enough, Choi Seong-jo continued his words.
“About Yeondoo.”
An inevitable topic popped up.
The inevitable subject that everyone expected. Minhong opened his mouth after silence.
All
“Do you have anything to say about him?”
A sharp question that pokes the nail, unlike the appearance of continuing to save words.
Surprised Choi Seongjo stutters and puts his hand on his face.
I answered.
“What? No, it’s him”.
”
For a while, Choi Sung-jo’s face became cold.
I didn’t mean to save my words anyway, the iron plate I was supposed to lay.
“I mean Yeondoo.” I’m thinking of bringing it to my house and raising it.”
The eyes and mouth of relatives around them that grow and open.
Choi Seongjo doesn’t care and talks…
That’s right.
“At that time, there was an unavoidable situation, so I had to leave it in Juwon’s hands.” It’s stable now. “Actually, we should have raised them morally.”
“Joo Won is still very young, too. Since I don’t have a wife, it’s hard to see her as a proper family. Growing up in my house will be good for the child’s emotions.”
It was the same as at the funeral hall.
Once you open your mouth, you talk like a foal.
At first glance, it may seem like a leading liquidation, but in reality, it was a completely contradictory story.
Funeral home. All the relatives there knew.
‘I just suggested it. Honestly, I didn’t say anything I couldn’t say. Joowon is 25 years old. Did she say Yeondoo? The age difference with her isn’t that big compared to us! Huh? I’m just asking you to live together. I’ll keep him forever.
I’m not asking you to do it.”
“And you two are similar.” Joowon became alone when Lee Seobang died, but he has lived well so far, and as an experienced person, he will be of strength to his child!
All of them were stories from the mouth of Choi Seong-jo’s Now that time has passed, only one thing has changed.
At that time, the justifications he spit out were used differently.
For the purpose of handing over a child to a young relative, now for the purpose of taking it away.
They were relatives who heard it all, but they could not find fault.
They weren’t very different either.
One by one, I started to speak.
“I think our house would have a better environment for a baby to live in.”
“Wouldn’t it be right to take him from a more affordable house?”
*
Choi Seong-jo replied in anger.
“What’s important about economic conditions?” Feed the baby and watch the academy.
All you need is the ability to pay. And… It’s important how much you can raise a baby with love. Furthermore, we have two children.”
It was an absurd situation. It’s already a fait accompli to take a child, and then they were talking about who would take him.
Someone was lowering their head without intervening in the argument. Someone else was biting his lips.
In the end, it was Min Hong-im’s one word that the argument ended.
“Choi Seobang.”
Choi Seongjo replied to Minhong’s call.
All
1
“Yes, mother-in-law.”
“If you take your child, you seem confident in raising him with love.”
Choi Seong-jo’s eyes sparkled. I was well aware of my mother-in-law’s personality.
On the other hand, the tone handed over now was quite gentle.
The story was also felt as a positive response,
After all, the important thing is your mother-in-law.’
🅼🅰🅺🅴 🆂🆄🆁🅴 🆈🅾🆄 🆁🅴🅰🅳🅸🅽🅶 🅰🆃 korea nmtl . onl ine
There was nothing good about arguing with other relatives.
Needless to say, it was the mother-in-law’s intention that played the biggest role in taking the child.
Knowing that, Choi Sung-jo replied vigorously.
“Of course.”
“As much as your children?”
“Of course!”
“But there’s one thing I’m curious about.”
De… ”
“Ha ha, tell me anything. If you’re worried about anything.”
“Why didn’t you bring your friends?” I missed you.”
It was an unexpected question for Choi Sung-jo.
I thought we would talk about the difficulties of taking the child.
“Do you mean my children?”
“Yes. Junwoo and Jinseo.”
“Oh, that’s… I think… I don’t think there’s anything heavy to talk about.
I thought about it… “I’ll make sure to bring him next time.”
Other than this, I had nothing else to say.
Min Hong-im nodded and answered.
“I can feel how much you care about the kids. Because I don’t take my children there because I think they’ll tell me sensitive stories.”
“Yes, that’s right. Yeondoo will save you like that, too.”
It was strange. I couldn’t shake off something incompatible while answering.
I didn’t make a mistake, but I feel guilty.
Only after hearing Min Hong-im’s words did he know the identity of the sense of incompatibility.
All
“But why was it different then?”
“What? What are you saying all of a sudden…”
“At Dongseok’s funeral.” I think you talked a lot with your child seated. Especially you.”
Choi Seong-jo, who is frozen, and relatives around relatives. Min Hong-im continued to speak, maintaining calmness without caring.
1
Whether it is necessary to take responsibility, argue over who should take charge of it, or leave it to the nursery. I heard you talked about it with a five-year-old crying child sitting in a mess.”
“Oh, no. Mother-in-law…” It’s like…
“I just left the child in front of me who I can cherish like your child.”
It wasn’t Min Hong-im’s usual rough shot. He kept a calm look and pointed out exactly contradictions.
Logically so that no one can refute it.
“Ask again”.
For the first time, Min Hong-im’s expression changed sharply.
In that way, she continued to talk.
“Choi Seobang, you’re not the only one
Do I have something to say?
**
“Don’t touch me.”
“Choi Seobang. No one here, including you. Juwon and Yeondoo, don’t touch their daily lives. “Don’t even touch me. If you do, I won’t let you go.”
No one could refute the firm words.
Choi Seongjo looks like he chewed on poop.
I’m crumpling it.
Min Hong-im’s words are not over.
“You’ll know if you’ve seen a video of Yeondoo Tube. How happy the child is. How well you’re growing.”
There were a few people who hesitated in this remark.
That’s because some of them have been watching Yeondoo Tube.
Therefore, I had no choice but to know. Yeondoo is happier than anyone else in the world in the video.
A
“No one can make the child happier than Joo Won. And… I was told that I was an adult earlier.”

*
“I think you and none of you are more mature than Juwon.”
In fact, as I told my grandson, Min Hong-im had a loss.
If you take it out, everyone will give up on Yeondoo.
Nevertheless, the reason for not bringing it up was simple.
Because I don’t want to see it.
Either way, they were children born with a stomachache.
I didn’t want to see you getting ugly anymore.
I wanted to convince them only by words. The reason why I have to give up on Yeondoo. Min Hong-im didn’t miss out on what he had to say.
–
“As you all know, the child is not related to us. It means that none of these people deserve to be involved. He came below me, but if he meets the requirements, Boo to Juwon right away.
I will transfer my mother’s qualification. “Because Juwon is the father of that child.”
“But you’re still Dongseok’s daughter.”
“Did you say that at the funeral?” Dongseok is a daughter, so let’s collect it.”
No, it was exactly the opposite. In terms of whether we are others or not, we don’t have to reap.
It was a scene that everyone was sharing in their heads.
Therefore, I had no choice but to shut up again.
But there was only one exception.
“You weren’t there.”
It was none other than Choi Seong-jo. A word that went out recklessly in a sense of crisis that if you remain silent here, you will never die or eat.
Minhong’s sharp question continued.
All
“What?”
“You weren’t there.”
Choi Seong-jo’s idea was simple. The relatives who are sitting together are both enemies.
We shared the same interests.
All
I won’t interrupt you no matter what you say.
Then, the important thing is to get Yeondoo and the child.
If that was possible, the other problem had to be solved after that.
“My mother-in-law wasn’t there. I’m sure you’ve heard everything from Juwon.”
“As for me, no, we have a lot of unfair parts. Joo Won’s…
The facts are distorted by biased and somewhat malicious words, and the mother-in-law believes them straight away… ”
**
*
As expected, it was difficult to bring it out at first, and it was easy to talk nonsense.
Scene that shows how ugly humans can become.
As expected, no one interrupted him as he expected.
“Sigh…”
Before someone sighed,
It’s a losing horse.
Choi Seongjo’s words that naturally stopped. A word in a cold tone hit him.
“Stop it, brother-in-law.”
A man who kept a dark expression and left.
He was none other than the youngest Kim Yun-ho here.
“…?”
Choi Sung with a puzzled expression after a sudden tackle.
Team.
The shock was even greater as it was blocked by a completely unexpected target.
From Kim Yun Ho, the most silent and quiet type.
Kim Yun-ho stared straight at Choi Seong-jo and continued to talk.
“Okay. I have nothing to say either.”
“Yun Ho, what are you talking about?”
…….”
“Because I stayed still.” When my brother-in-law handed it over to the baby Juwon, asked my mother-in-law to leave it, or asked me to send it to the nursery.”
“Bo, your sister-in-law told you to send her to the nursery!” “Where is he going to pass everything on to me?”
He realized that he made a mistake after saying it.
All
Because he admitted that he had said everything else.
The fierce words of the sister-in-law continued.
“Why are you talking about me all of a sudden?”
Despite Choi Sung-jo’s yelling, Kim Yun-ho opened his mouth without blinking.
“Don’t talk carelessly.” Unlike Junwoo and Jinseo, I’m not his brother-in-law’s child.”
“What? You…”.
“Ha ha, you really haven’t changed since then.” Don’t you remember what Joowon said? My uncle is not the only adult.”
*
Kim Yun-ho added to Choi Sung-jo, who can’t beat anger.
“Mom, you’really. There’s no adult here than Joo Won.”
“As I said earlier, I stayed still at the funeral. Without saying anything. Why? It was annoying. Child? I feel bad for you, but what about that? I’m five years old and even dirty. It’s obvious that you’re abused by your older brother, and how can I take responsibility for that when a normal kid is not confident? I’m so busy working right now. It’s best to just stay quiet.”
The more I talked, the more intense I felt.
In that state, Yun Ho laughed out loud.
Said.
“This is who I am.”
“You, you…”
“Maybe he’s more cowardly than my brother-in-law who does everything without filtering what he wants to say.””
Despite being said to be cowardly, even Choi Sung-jo did not think of intervening this time.
“But…”
“Yun Ho…”
.
Kim Dayoung calls her younger brother with a trembling voice.
Kim Yun-ho added in a low voice.
“He did it. “Joo Won.”
11
“Haha, when he got up holding a kid’s hand.” “He looks like a fool, but he’s so dirty and cool.”
No one has said anything for a while.
It was Kim Yun-ho who opened his mouth again.
“I didn’t know.” I didn’t know about Yeondoo Tube today. I saw it before I came. You looked really happy. It’s amazing. Is that possible? Someone who’s been abused for years.
It hasn’t been long since I got out of hell, but I smile so happily.
Crabs.”
Yun Ho, look at Seongjo’s eyes again.
Saw
And then I said,
**
“I’ll say it again.” I didn’t do anything. I just let it go.”
“So, brother-in-law.” Let’s keep our conscience at least from a similar point of view. Even though it’s hard to take responsibility…”
Before I knew it, everyone was focusing on Kim Yun-ho’s words.
Min Hong-im’s expression looking at his son was also different from usual.
Soon, Yun Ho finished his long sentence.
That’s right.
“It’s easy to leave happy people alone without touching them.”
It was a word that made everyone silent.
