Episode 218. Are you really your aunt’s son?
Yu-Hwa Lee was so stunned that she couldn’t even speak.
While I was washing dishes in the kitchen of the village chief’s house, someone came and said that the house seemed to be on fire.
I was surprised and ran to see what was this?
A little sister and a strange young man are playing with fire in the yard!
“Who are you playing with fire in someone else’s house? Shall we take the village chief and come and check it out?”
Seokjangchon is far from the government, and the head of the village has a strong influence.
At a word from the village chief, the village men would come running with clubs.
“Are you Sihwa’s sister? The sisters look alike, so you’d recognize them when you first saw them? Right?”
“Who are you more than that! Please reveal your identity first!”
Lee Shi-hwa, who was about to watch, interrupted when her sister seemed too excited.
“Sister, cousin, brother.”
“What a cousin! All of my relatives are dead.”
Lee Yoo-hwa, furious at the startling sound, fired at him.
“Is it your aunt’s son?”
“Tell us where our aunt is! You fool! So don’t be fooled!”
“I don’t know. I heard there is?”
“Why are you fooled by obvious lies! Hey! Why did you say he was the son of an aunt who didn’t even exist? Why did you lie to me as soon as the adults came? What do you want?”
Lee Yu-hwa, who scolded her younger sister, asked Yeon-jeok-ha as if arguing.
Rubbing his hands habitually over the burning bonfire, he said calmly.
“You are still a child. You’ll know when Daddy comes. Whether or not I am really my aunt’s son.”
“joy! Who wants to see who! You don’t even look that old.”
Along with the words, Lee Yu-hwa carefully inspected the enemy enemy.
At least, the young man’s expression was gentle and his eyes were clear, so I was a little relieved, but I was still anxious.
I don’t know what happened when my parents went up the mountain.
The confrontation, not the confrontation between Lee Yu-hwa and Lee Si-hwa, and Yeon Jeok-ha continued.
In the meantime, two old men came from the village headman’s house.
The men stormed in as if arguing, but after checking the state of the enemy’s armament, they warmed themselves by the side fire.
Suddenly, Yeon Jeok-ha stared at the man across from him.
“mister.”
“Did you call me?”
“In this village, the village chief sends someone to protect someone else’s house, doesn’t it?”
“Not always.”
“Then why are you here? Are you a relative of my maternal uncle?”
“I still don’t know Sohyeop’s identity, so I want to stay with him just in case. As you can see, there are no adults in this house.”
“Why are there no adults? Can’t you see the grown-up over there? I heard you’re getting married soon?”
Yeon Jeok-ha pointed to Yoo-hwa.
The man looked at Yeon Jeok-ha and Lee Yoo-hwa alternately with a confused face.
At a time like this, I don’t know what to say.
In an instant, Lee Yoo-hwa’s impression hardened.
It’s because I don’t like the fact that a man I don’t know suddenly talked about getting married.
Maybe it was because I didn’t want to, I don’t know.
“Hey! This isn’t even your house, so why are you talking to other people? We, the owners of the house, are quiet.”
“I can say that because I am a cousin. That’s because you’ll know everything when you come.”
Lee Yu-hwa’s expression became a little complicated when Yeon Jeok-ha continued to say that he was her cousin.
It’s because I don’t think there’s any way to lie like that.
‘Is there really an aunt I didn’t know? It’s not…’
I heard that Uncle Baek (my uncle) and my aunt died of illness before they got married.
But what kind of aunt’s son do you mean!
At that time, Yeonjeokha threw the last remaining bundle of wood into the bonfire.
Seeing this, Yoo-hwa was upset.
That was the firewood that my parents had piled up on the side of the yard to sell.
Using that precious thing as a bonfire in the yard!
“Hey. I don’t know why you do this to us. That firewood was something my parents had a hard time with. What if I just burn it like that?”
“I made a fire because poetry fell. What are you going to do if you catch a cold? Even more money than the price of firewood could be broken.”
Lee Si-hwa, who was listening, raised her eyes wide and shouted.
“uh! mister! You said earlier that you would prepare a better tree!”
“Who said no?”
“But why are you talking like you won’t?”
It was only then that I realized that the two sisters who were dating were quite obsessed with firewood.
It’s not a big deal to you, but it seems to be a precious part of life to them.
“okay. I’ll fill it with much better firewood. Let’s trust your brother.”
The couple who had repeatedly promised each other suddenly turned their attention to the men.
“Uncles.”
“Why?”
“If you want to light a side fire there, make firewood. I don’t intend to bring you firewood. Go out the gate.”
“What kind of nonsense is that?”
The male setting sun looked at the young man with a slightly displeased face.
I have a knife, but after watching it for a while, it seems to be easy.
“What is coercion? I decided to write and fill it, so it’s like my own firewood. Why do men warm themselves up for free? Does it look like a bale because I’m still?”
“…”
At the words of Yeonjeok-ha, Seok-seok-soo glanced at Seok-in-joong, who had come with him.
It is asking whether or not to show the example once.
Seok In-joong shook his head with a thoughtful face.
He wasn’t thoughtless enough to attack a man with a knife with his bare hands.
Seok In-joong, who had been squatting to warm himself by the side fire, stood up slowly.
“It seems that the so-hyeop is right. we’ll go outside Yoohwa, if anything happens, call us. It will be outside the gate.”
“yes.”
When Lee Yu-hwa answered, the men went outside without regret.
“Sheesh! what’s the job what do you see people as Anyway, why doesn’t the foreigner come like this? Were you bitten by a tiger by any chance?”
In response to his nonsensical nonsense, young Lee Si-hwa said a word.
“joy! There is no such thing in Bangsan! I wonder if it’s a wolf.”
“Oops! Wolves are actually more terrifying than tigers. They gather in herds and eat cows and people.”
“…”
Lee Si-hwa looked at her sister with a surprised face.
Hearing Yeon Jeok-ha’s words, it seemed that he suddenly became worried about his mother and father.
“It’s Sihwa. don’t talk to strangers Because you accept it, you keep lying.”
“huh. But will Mom and Dad be okay?”
“of course. The chief must have sent someone to the mountain as well.”
Yeonjeokha, who had been listening quietly, suddenly asked.
“Hey, it seems that the village chief takes care of the out-of-towner a lot? What do you have to gain? Is the village chief a bodhisattva? Or are you going to be the daughter-in-law of the house?”
“Shut up!”
Eventually, Lee Yu-hwa could not stand it and screamed.
When there was a loud noise, the two men who had left snooped over the low fence.
“It’s a surprise. Why do you get angry over trivial things? And what is shut up to your cousin brother? Did I say something I couldn’t? Or did you say something bad? Why is the village chief…”
“Please keep your mouth shut.”
As Lee Yoo-hwa trembled, Lee Si-hwa grabbed her arm and pulled her.
“Patience, sister. Why don’t you accept it Hey! mister! You know that my sister is going to sell the house or get married, so you’re doing it to raise the bar? I am not a person.”
It was only then that I realized the rough circumstances of the romance.
But even so, I couldn’t understand why Lee Yu-hwa was beating so fast.
After all, isn’t it okay if everyone gets married at the village head’s house?
Of course, it’s a little bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of a bit of
He immediately poured out his thoughts without consideration for the other person.
That was the greening method.
“Everyone gets married once or twice, so what? They say she cries when she gets married because it’s unfamiliar, but she smiles when she leaves.”
Lee Si-hwa looked at the outside and said quietly.
“You boring old man. It also depends on the opponent. The groom is forty-five. ah! cold. sister! Can’t we warm up close to the fire? It’s our yard, so we can warm up. huh?”
Lee Si-hwa, like a fox, quickly changed her words.
In that short time, Lee Yu-hwa was led out by her brother’s hand with a face that had put everything down.
The two sisters and Yeonjeokha stood face to face with a bonfire between them.
Lee Yu-hwa, who had been looking at the fireworks for a long time, asked.
“Are you really my aunt’s son?”
Then ‘bang!’ A middle-aged man and woman entered as they opened the door roughly to make a noise.
It was Lee Woo-seok and his wife Jang-mi.
“Who are you! You talk nonsense about where my nephew is…”
Lee Woo-seok, who had been yelling out loud, was speechless when his eyes met Yeon Jeok-ha.
The young man’s slender facial lines and soft eyes are familiar to his eyes.
The sharp-eyed beauty of the place quickly noticed that the young man resembled her own daughters.
Yeon Jeok-ha bowed his head to Lee Woo-seok.
“Outside. Nice to meet you. I ask you to marry.”
“Hum-hum, how are you? None of my siblings died leaving behind offspring, so why do you call me uncle?”
“Do you remember? My mother’s name is Buyong Lee.”
“…”
Lee Woo-seok’s face became as if he had seen a ghost.
Lee Buyong is the younger sister who died when she was seven years old.
One day, when I couldn’t find it, my parents said, ‘I died and buried it in the mountain behind me.’ It was a time when people died when they woke up, so I didn’t doubt it.
By the way, the son of Buyong?
Come to think of it, it seems to resemble Buyong when I was young.
Yeonjeokha said as if it was not a big deal.
“I heard that my maternal grandfather and grandmother sold it to a soldier passing by the house. My mother died thinking she was an orphan, but somehow I found out the inside story. There are people who will tell you even if you stay still.”
“You really are Bouillon’s son. I can tell by looking at your eyes. well come Welcome.”
Lee Woo-seok grabbed Yeon Jeok-ha’s hand with his rough hand.
It was awkward, but he didn’t pull out his hand and waited with an embarrassed face.
Jang Mi, who was watching the scene, smiled and said a word.
“You are welcome, my nephew. I recognized my nephew at once because he resembled my children. He said he can’t steal seed, so how can he look alike?”
It was difficult for her grown-up nephew with a knife on her waist to be called Jang Mi-mi, ‘niece-sama’.
When their parents recognize Yeon Jeok-ha as their nephew, Lee Yu-hwa and Si-hwa sisters are dumbfounded.
However, Lee Shi-hwa soon laughed and chatted.
“Because I thought I was a cousin too. My sister didn’t believe it, but I got a feeling at first sight.”
The Seok brothers, who were watching from outside the fence, quietly disappeared.
After the tumultuous greetings, Lee Woo-seok took Yeon Jeok-ha and entered the room.
***
Seokjangchon.
village chief’s house.
Three men sat facing each other in front of the village chief Seok Il-ham.
Seok In-joong, Seok Il-ham’s son, and Seok Woo-dae, who were sent to Lee Woo-seok’s house.
Silence flowed from Seokilham’s mouth.
“Hmm! So, an unidentified woman came in, and it turned out that she was Mr. Lee’s maternal nephew?”
Seok In-jung answered on behalf of the Seok brothers.
“Yeah, Mr. Lee had another sister, and he is said to be his son.”
“Haven’t all of Lee’s blood and relatives died from illness?”
“I heard that when Mr. Lee was young, his parents sold their younger sister to a samurai who passed by their house. My sister’s son came to visit.”
“Something like that happened. It seems that you still miss your blood relatives, right?”
“Because it’s blood.”
Seok Woo-dae, who had been listening to the conversation between the two, intervened with a worried face.
“Father, I also saw the young man at the entrance of the village today. You seem quite strict, but isn’t this just ruining my marriage?”
Seok Woo-dae has a face burning with longing.
It’s understandable since something unexpected happened just 15 days before the wedding.
“joy! Ruined? Do you think Mr. Lee can get married and live in Seokjang Village?”
Seok Il-ham struck a sneer with a face that said it was nonsense.
