Chapter 222- Even if the world changes, it will be celebrated

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ha Nam.

 

Jeongju.

 

Seokjang Village.

 

 

 

New Shicho (3:00 p.m.).

 

After lunch, Lee Woo-seok visited the village chief.

 

Seok Il-ham, the village chief, welcomed Lee Woo-seok, his soon-to-be in-law, who suddenly arrived.

 

“Heh heh heh. What is it? No, no. What am I talking about between soon-to-be in-laws? What you can come even if you don't have work. Welcome. Let's have a cup of tea."

 

Seok Il-ham led Lee Woo-seok, who was standing there with an embarrassed face, to the guest room.

 

“So, your nephew came to visit? I'm also glad that there was a surviving family in the in-laws' house. Could you introduce yourself even before the wedding ceremony?”

 

Seok Il-ham, a member of the presbytery, has already called Lee Woo-seok his in-law.

 

It is to prevent him from daring to think otherwise of marriage.

 

“Well, even if you don’t, I came to tell you that.”

 

“What are you trying to say? Oh. The hyeongryeong said he would attend the wedding ceremony in 15 days. I don't know why someone who is busy with construction wants to come to a place like this. Since the marriage ceremony is a great, do you think you will definitely attend? haha."

 

Seok Il-ham smiled and stared at Lee Woo-seok.

 

If this had been done, even if he wanted to cancel, he would not have been able to do so.

 

It's not that it wasn't, but Lee Woo-seok's face wasn't good.

 

It is very burdensome for both families to decide to get married and break it unilaterally.

 

“Do you have a lot to prepare for a sudden wedding? I know the circumstances of my in-laws, so don't worry too much. We'll figure it all out on our side. The in-laws just need to come.”

 

Seok Il-ham gazed at Lee Woo-seok with soft yet strong eyes.

 

If it was Lee Woo-seok in normal times, he would not have been able to say a word in this atmosphere.

 

But now he is a little different from before.

 

He's even heard that he sold his son to his nephew, so he deserves it.

 

“Chief, please make the wedding between the two families a thing of the past.”

 

“What does that mean?”

 

“I don’t think I have been able to understand my daughter’s heart. I want to cancel the wedding because my daughter doesn't want it. sorry."

 

“Yuhwa doesn’t want this marriage?”

 

"yes."

 

"No way. Even a few days ago, Yoohwa said that she was going to get married. Doesn't she get you wrong? Or that you had a change of heart.”

 

The title was changed from in-laws to you.

 

Even Seok Il-ham’s eyes, which had been soft, flashed coldly.

 

“Even though my son is a jaechwi (再娶), he is a man without reproach. Moreover, this is not just a matter of two people. It's a marriage that even the hyeonryung is interested in. Are you trying to destroy the face of our family?”

 

Lee Woo-seok's face hardened at the words of losing face.

 

Most skeletal families risk life and death. If the bride's side breaks the engagement, Seok Il-ham would have no greater disgrace than that.

 

Even knowing that, Wooseok Lee did not back down.

 

What if he didn't know that his parents sold his sister in the past?

 

Knowing that, how could he do the same thing?

 

“I’m sorry. Please tell us that we broke up because we were not enough.”

 

"It's not something to apologize for. Do you think people will criticize your family? no They will surely laugh at us from the back saying that we were humiliated while watching Seok-ssi jump over the fountain. I can't see it like that until I get dirt in my eyes. So don't ever say that again. I don't want to see anyone die.”

 

Seok Il-ham finally spoke of his death.

 

The firm tone and sharp eyes, this was almost like a threat.

 

In fact, from Seok Il-ham's point of view, it was reasonable.

 

When I first announced my marriage to the people around me, my acquaintances congratulated me but teased me that I was a 'thief'.

 

The young bride was rumored to be the beauty of Seokjang Village.

 

It must have hurt her stomach to think that such a girl would be the second drinker of her son who had eaten forty-five years.

 

It was a marriage promoted by eating curses called thieves.

 

There is no such disgrace if the bride suddenly breaks it 15 days before the wedding ceremony.

 

“Old man. please… … .”

 

“The marriage has already been widely publicized among the Seok clan, so don’t say such things. Did your cousin who suddenly came to you do the opposite? Why are you suddenly calling for an annulment? He was the one who got along well until yesterday.”

 

"ha! actually… … .”

 

Inevitably, Lee Woo-seok shared his embarrassing family history.

 

“His sister’s son, whom he thought was dead, came to visit and said something like that… … . Even fleas have faces, so how can you push them? It is said that oil painting is also an unwilling marriage. So please cancel the marriage. please."

 

“The reason I lent you money was not to bring Yuhwa as my daughter-in-law.”

 

“Yes, I am well aware of it.”

 

“Why would someone who knows that say something like that? You didn't sell the oil painting to me. She agreed to marry her daughter to the best family in Shizhang Village. Isn't it?”

 

"you're right."

 

"That's why you promised to marry me. The immature nephew, you have to convince yourself. I was wondering if something else was going on, but it was nothing.”

 

“Chief.”

 

“Uh huh. There was no wrongdoing involved in the wedding between you and my family. What does someone who knows that say now? Even if I go back and see my nephew.”

 

Even though Lee Yu-hwa, her party, refused, Seok Il-ham blamed her nephew.

 

“… … .”

 

Lee Woo-seok was unable to say anything in front of the village chief's stubborn attitude.

 

Seok Il-ham said a word to Lee Woo-seok, as if telling him not to think about anything else.

 

“Even if the world changes, this marriage will be held without a hitch. Don't make any more noise in the auspicious affairs of Seokjangchon, where even the prefecture participates.”

 

Lee Woo-seok's face turned dark when he heard that the event would be held even if the world changed.

 

Seeing the village chief's benevolence, I thought, 'It will be all right if I apologize', but it seems I was wrong.

 

Seeing the village chief's determined expression and sharp eyes, he was speechless.

 

The opponent was the face of a longevity who had hit the ‘base of multiples’.

 

Hagiya, since the face of the Seok family is at stake, it will have no choice but to be enforced.

 

 

 

***

 

 

 

diffusion.

 

 

 

A man and a woman were climbing the mountain.

 

It is Yeon Jeok-ha and his cousin Lee Si-hwa, who visited her maternal uncle's house.

 

As promised, Lee Shi-hwa followed Yeon Jeok-ha, who went to the mountain to make firewood.

 

"Brother. Have you tried wood?”

 

"no."

 

"Then I'll have a hard time."

 

"are you okay. They say you have to go through hardships while you are young.”

 

“Why don’t you just give the money you burned and eat to Dad and rest?”

 

“You don’t know yet, but you have to spend money when you need to spend it.”

 

“Isn’t it necessary to use it at that time?”

 

“Why would I spend money on something that would require me to lift a finger?”

 

Then, Lee Yoo-hwa laughed as if he was stunned.

 

“Wow, that’s crazy. This is why people who haven't experienced it are scary. I think firewood just happens in the mountains. How difficult would Dad have been to go with Mom? You have to cut and trim the tree, you have to carry it again. It's not normal. Do you think people buy firewood for no reason?”

 

“Didn’t you think my mother-in-law went to the mountain with her aunt to get some wood? Tsk tsk.”

 

“What do you mean? Then go to the tree, what are you going to do?”

 

“The kids don’t have to know.”

 

“I have to tell my father later. My older brother said something strange.”

 

“When do I say something strange?”

 

“You just did that. Dad and Mom didn’t go to the mountain to get trees.”

 

“Wouldn’t the grown-ups just cut firewood? Gathering herbs, catching rabbits, and so on.”

 

“What kind of herbs are you talking about in the middle of winter? You know I'm a kid who doesn't really know anything. funny. really. Whether I arrive or not, I just wait and see.”

 

“How much is it?”

 

“Ten doors?”

 

I searched the serial number, but I couldn't find a single coin in my hand.

 

In the end, he took out a hermit and handed it to Sihwa Lee.

 

Seeing her hermit, Shihwa Lee's eyes widened like rabbits.

 

"omg! Don’t you have any change?”

 

“Just take it.”

 

Lee Si-hwa took the money and put it into her arms.

 

“With this money, I will buy more than ten packs of firewood. If you have a lot of money, why are you going through all this trouble just paying for firewood?”

 

"It's not worth even a penny for my current maternal uncle."

 

“Isn’t it a waste to give it to me?”

 

"uh. You are in the same situation as me.”

 

“What is the similarity? My brother is rich and I am poor?”

 

“You, like me, don’t have parental clothes.”

 

"what? Older brother, you are rich, but why don't you have parental clothes? Where did all that money come from?”

 

“It’s the money I earned while playing.”

 

“Foot! How do you make money while playing?”

 

As we laughed and chatted, we entered quite deeply before we knew it.

 

When they came to the wooded area, Lee Si-hwa looked around her and said,

 

“Why do you come so far? There are many trees under the mountain. It must be difficult to bring it home.”

 

“The nearby places should be left to the foreigner. I can do it from a distance.”

 

“Ah, yes, yes. So now let's cut down the tree. You have to do it yourself to know how hard it is.”

 

"You're cold, but you're at home. Why are you following me and nagging me?"

 

“I was afraid that my brother would be bored in a strange place, so he stayed with me. It's cold, so I'm going to go to the tree quickly. freeze to death really."

 

“Are you cold?”

 

“Then is it cold or hot in winter?”

 

“Oh, I forgot about that.”

 

“Phi! There's something else to forget. How can a person forget that it is cold and hot? Anyway, it sounds strange when you open your mouth.”

 

"wait for a sec. It shouldn't be cold.”

 

The ax that Yeonjeokha was holding hit the nearby trees.

 

Quaang. Quaang. Quaang. thud.

 

Dozens of trees whose trunks were cut down fell one after another.

 

The stuffy forest became a little brighter.

 

He lightly tapped the fallen tree with a stacking axe.

 

Each time, the wood was evenly trimmed like a green onion on a cutting board.

 

While Shihwa Lee blinked a few times, her firewood was piled up to her waist level.

 

When her rough preparations were complete, she put her hand on the burning pyre and extinguished samadhi.

 

Fire.

 

A bonfire roared in the middle of the frozen forest.

 

Yeon Jeok-ha said to Lee Si-hwa, who was staring at him in a daze.

 

“Come here and warm yourself up. I’ll make firewood soon.”

 

“Your brother was a woodcutter? Are you doing it very fast? How did you start the fire again?”

 

“What a difficult thing that is. Just hit it with an axe.”

 

“What about the fire?”

 

“Did you know that there is water and fire inside the human body?”

 

“Another strange sound.”

 

Shihwa shook his head excitedly.

 

My cousin brother says strange things whenever he opens his mouth.

 

It's fortunate that he doesn't seem like a bad person fundamentally, but that's a bit off.

 

“Wow. driving me crazy. If I say something like this, old man Sim will attack the enemy with vigor.”

 

“Who is Old Sim?”

 

“There is an old man following me around.”

 

“What kind of grandfather are you following your older brother? He has nothing to do with that?”

 

"uh. But you are following me too.”

 

“Because I have nothing to do.”

 

"ah! yes."

 

Having a rivalry, he turned around after realizing that he could not overcome Lee Shi-hwa with words.

 

Shihwa Lee warmed up at the campfire and watched the Yeonjeokha go back and forth between the trees.

 

He shook his large ax lightly like a handstand, and each time he did so, the tree snapped.

 

It compares too much to his dad, who is covered in sweat even when he is briefly cutting firewood in the yard.
