Episode 58

“How did I give birth to such an amazing child?!”

It was a night when excitement wouldn’t easily settle down.

10 billion won.

A whole 10 billion won!

They couldn’t fall asleep looking at the numbers printed in their account. After putting the children to bed, the three adults naturally gathered together and started drinking beer and chatting.

“Honestly, those gifted kids? Isn’t our daughter smarter than those kids at the gifted program that Hyeon-gyo attends? She earned 10 billion won at just ten years old! You saw it earlier, that fiery charisma. ‘Don’t waver’ – wow! As expected of Bang Suk-yeong’s daughter!”

“Wow~ As expected of Seo Shin-hyeon’s daughter!”

“….”

Youngest Uncle from the Bang family remained silent while watching the couple boast in unison.

He was truly curious too. How did Seosing-a come from under those kinds of people?

Bang Suk-yeong proudly shouted.

“Bill Gates and Park Min-su probably weren’t this good when they were young, right? It’s because I did prenatal education with biographies of great people. When I said I’d buy that 60-volume biography set back then, how much did everyone oppose and nag me? Look now! It was all my foresight!”

“….”

This was an era when new college graduate starting salaries were around 1 million won.

Madam Bang’s Brother, who had paid 800,000 won for the biography collection with trembling hands after being pressured by his sister and brother-in-law in 1990, fell silent again.

“No, honey!”

Seo Shin-hyeon said with a serious face.

“When you were pregnant, I bought thousand-year-old wild ginseng from that mysterious medicine peddler in front of the senior center and made you eat it as soup. It must be because of that. It was really hard to get that stuff!”

“….”

The lifespan of natural wild ginseng is at most 150 years.

Madam Bang’s Brother, who had grabbed the senior center medicine peddler by the collar and personally dragged him to the police station as a fraud, fell silent again.

Though he thought he had forgotten, he was tormented by the pathetic memory of his sister and brother-in-law carefully boiling what was obviously balloon flower root in a medicinal pot, treating it as ginseng.

“Oh my, that’s right! I remember! Ugh~ It was really bitter, pungent, and spicy. I didn’t know ginseng was that spicy~ How hard it was to endure eating it! Without the maternal love and spirit of sacrifice of feeding my child, it would have been impossible!”

Amazing!

No matter what she said, she never left out praising herself!

Youngest Uncle wanted to say a few words to his sister, but Seo Shin-hyeon, who was only quick at times like this, hurriedly responded as if he felt very sorry for her.

“They say mothers are strong and great indeed. You really live suffering so terribly!”

“If you know that, be good to me~.”

“Yes, yes!”

“….”

Isn’t it the niece who’s living in hardship?

Madam Bang’s Brother sincerely wanted to ask.

‘Really, how did you two give birth to her….’

His chest felt blocked and stuffy. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, he burst out scolding them.

“Show some restraint, you two. Look at your shameless words. As parents… Think about it! If I hadn’t gone down to Neungasa Temple every year to pray and accumulate merit, would General Seonmu have taken care of Sing-a? You don’t even know to be grateful!”

The Bang family were basically people who didn’t know modesty. And he was also a Bang.

♧

“Honey. About your fifth brother and sister. Don’t they seem suspicious?”

“What’s suspicious?”

“Well, we all know each other’s living situations, but look at how they’ve been acting lately. They’re no different from nouveau riche.”

An-ssi, the wife of the second son among the six Bang siblings, had not been in a good mood lately.

Stopping mid-way through removing her makeup, she turned sharply toward her husband.

“Look at today too! Your sister sent a dried croaker set as a New Year gift. New Year’s Day is still far away. Do you know what kind of croaker that is? It’s Ogachi. The finest grade with large specimens from Beopseongpo! You’d need to give several million-won checks at the department store to buy that.”

“Oh my, she sent such good stuff? That Suk-yeong girl. Only a younger sister takes care of her older brother like this.”

“That’s not the point! Where on earth is the money coming from?”

An-ssi exploded in frustration.

The Bang family from Jindo County, South Jeolla Province, were typical rural farming folk.

It was fortunate that their father-in-law, who had been a peddler during the war, sent his children to study in nearby cities saying he would raise his children differently, otherwise An-ssi would never have married the second son.

Like typical country people, the Bang family had many children, with six siblings in the household.

Five male brothers and one youngest sister.

Though they all lived scattered apart, the second son who worked as a factory manager in Busan was definitely the most well-off.

Well, if her husband hadn’t been self-made, would he have been qualified to marry her?

An-ssi had grown up as a precious daughter in a wealthy Busan family and was someone who played piano. Among her sisters-in-law, she was outstandingly sophisticated.

So An-ssi felt pride and superiority whenever she saw her husband’s family.

While other daughters-in-law looked miserable when holidays came, she smiled brightly as holidays approached.

Anyway, her parents-in-law had all passed away, and all she did when going down to the countryside was thoroughly enjoy the envious gazes of her sister-in-law and brothers-in-law.

The fifth brother, who had the longest education among the siblings, did give her a slight sense of crisis when he passed the 7th grade civil service exam, but it was fine.

He was just a neighborhood office civil servant after all.

The youngest sister-in-law?

That country bumpkin princess wasn’t even worth mentioning!

Her orphan soldier husband was utterly ignorant, and the job he barely got after leaving the military was just a car salesman.

Whenever her sister-in-law bragged about being from some special forces unit or actually being a hospital director’s son, An-ssi had a hard time not laughing.

Being the only girl among six siblings and raised preciously, she couldn’t accept the miserable reality and fell into delusions of grandeur. Tsk tsk.

An-ssi, who only had one brother she didn’t get along with, particularly disliked her sister-in-law who was compared to her.

“Aren’t they doing something bad somewhere? Shouldn’t you look into it?”

“Oh, do you always have to think so negatively?”

“It’s because it’s suspicious! I thought it was strange from when they moved to Bundang. What if they’re involved with really bad people and we get dragged into it later? Will you take responsibility then?”

“Enough. Let’s stop.”

“Stop what? Don’t you know something?”

An-ssi narrowed her eyes. After saying it, she became even more suspicious.

“That’s right, that’s it. Mother left a separate inheritance, didn’t she?”

“What on earth are you talking about?”

The second son was dumbfounded.

“Don’t you remember that the fifth brother and I still don’t see each other because you caused a scene saying our share was too small when dividing the inheritance, and now you’re bringing up inheritance again?”

Among the six siblings, there were no couples with bad relationships, but only their house was uniquely noisy like this.

Madam Bang’s Second Child, getting more annoyed the more he thought about it, shouted angrily.

“If you’re envious, just say you’re envious honestly! You looked down on people so much when the fifth brother and Suk-yeong asked if you wanted to do stocks together!”

“Then do you also believe that ridiculous fairy child theory?! Has your sister become some reincarnated Buddha?! Giving birth to a fairy child who gives stock predictions – is that supposed to make sense or is it nonsense?!”

“Suk-yeong originally has the face of a bodhisattva! Mother always said from long ago that the youngest was born with a blessed appearance! A bodhisattva can give birth to a fairy child! What’s strange about that?”

A single ginseng doesn’t grow alone in a sweet potato field.

All six Bang siblings were sweet potatoes.

The second sweet potato shouted confidently and vigorously.

“Do you even know what Sing-a’s conception dream was? It was a great king lotus. Our mother directly dreamed of a fairy dragging a lotus by the hair! And when Suk-yeong was little and I carried her around, I brought spring water from the rear mountain to feed her, and that mountain was originally famous as a place where mountain deities lived! With a bodhisattva appearance plus mountain deity energy, you could say she gave birth to a fairy child thanks to me!”

“You’re crazy! You’re all crazy, your family!”

An-ssi screamed and ran out to the living room.

“What are you doing right now!”

“Can’t you see?!”

An-ssi grabbed the landline phone and quickly dialed. The dial tone cut off immediately and connected.

“Aunt Suk-yeong! It’s me, second sister-in-law~! Nothing serious, but is the lotus fair- is Sing-a next to you? It’s about time for our son’s college acceptance announcement. Mountain deity fairy- I mean, let me talk to Sing-a! Quickly, it’s urgent!!!”</Human: You are an ELITE PROFESSIONAL TRANSLATOR for Korean web novels (COMMERCIAL QUALITY).
