The craftsman was taken aback by the unexpected encounter.

He looked back and forth between my grandfather and me with his shaking eyes.

“Son-in-law. Even if this old man looks unwell, you should say hello when you see him.”

“Ah. Yes, hello. Nice to meet you. I’m Han Seong-jin.”

Father-in-law greeting his grandfather.

“Yeah. That damn old man bothers you a lot, right?”

“Haha. No. You’re harassing me.”

“Why am I bothering you? I sent you overseas to gain experience and taught you about company affairs! Huh?”

“When did you say you sent me overseas because you didn’t want to see my face? Whenever the old man opens his mouth, he’s lying.”

“This is our eldest grandson! Isn’t he handsome?”

“Haha. I know. Jaehoon.”

The word son-in-law disappeared from the mouth of my father-in-law who was talking to me. My father-in-law was so upset.

“How do you know our eldest grandson?”

“My daughter. He’s her boyfriend.”

“”Huh?””

Two old men looked at me with surprised faces as if asking if it was true.

“Haha. That’s right.”

“Eldest grandson. Get connected with a house that sells oil!”

“There is nothing that an old man cannot say. What’s wrong with selling oil in a country that doesn’t produce even a single drop of oil!”

“I don’t know about other oil houses, but your oil house is not it.”

“Where can you find a place as refined as us? A nobleman who sells crude goods.”

“What the heck, you little punk. Don’t you use that crappy thing at home?”

“Then you don’t drive a car, you punk!”

I’m dizzy.

It seems like we’re close friends, but it also seems like we’re enemies.

From what you’re saying about essential oils, I think I know which company it is.

The craftsman is also watching, so I wish someone would put an end to this mess.

“It’s my turn to go in next.”

The boss who stopped the two of you from arguing.

“Can four people eat this?”

“Ah! You were in a group? There were four of you.”

The people who had been fighting until just now suddenly naturally became humble.

It was a room-style restaurant. We opened the door and went in, and four people naturally sat down.

“Excuse me, who is this grandpa?”

“Ah! You didn’t tell me? He’s just an old man who sells oil, Hwang Chun-soo. Just call him Chun-soo.”

“That old man keeps arguing until the end. So he’s dating my granddaughter?”

“Haha. Yes.”

“But why didn’t this son-in-law tell me?”

Grandfather Hwang looking at the craftsman.

“Ahem. I’ve known Jaehoon for a few years now. But it hasn’t been that long since I’ve done anything.”

“How could you not know that! Looking at the eldest grandson, Taesan must be your son.”

“How would I know about someone else’s business successor?”

“If you’re going to marry my daughter, you should know that much!”

“My wife doesn’t know. How could I know?”

Grandpa Hwang, who was fighting with the old man next to him, is now arguing with the father-in-law in front of him.

Suddenly he looked at me and started talking as if he was curious.

“But isn’t your granddaughter a middle school student? She looks younger?”

“The new baby is two years older.”

“But there’s a two year age difference between us. How did you meet?”

“I liked Sae-ah since kindergarten.”

“Haha. Our eldest grandson looks just like his daughter-in-law!”

“You shouldn’t become in-laws with that guy.”

“Anyone can see that our family is in trouble, but you’re talking nonsense again.”

Just as the fight was about to start again, the door opened and Samgyetang arrived.

Samgyetang, a white soup made with chicken and various medicinal herbs in a clay pot.

It was a famous restaurant. The soft meat and the medicinal scent were very delicious.

Fortunately, I was able to eat the samgyetang quietly, so I wasn’t the only one who thought it was delicious.

After my grandfather and I finished eating, the grandfather next to me quietly got up and followed me.

“Then, old man, we go first.”

“Go ahead, be careful.’

“See you next time.”

I also bowed my head in greeting and followed the old man who was leaving first.

An old man who coolly walks past the counter and leaves without even paying.

“Grandpa, what about the calculation?”

“Jangson-ah. It’s something that the ones who come out late usually do.”

I thought he was coming out in a hurry. It seems like my dad takes after his grandfather.

An old man walking, stopping and standing at the front gate.

“Aren’t you going?”

“You should at least say hello to the guy who paid the bill and tell him you had a good meal.”

My grandfather’s brightly smiling face looked just like my father’s.

Grandpa Hwang came out of the restaurant and shouted at me.

“Hey, if you’re going to eat, you should pay before you go.”

“Chunsu, I ate well. I should say hello to Jangson too.”

“I ate well.”

Let me bow my head and say hello. Grandpa Hwang, who was speechless.

“Haha. That feels great. Let’s go, Jangson.”

“Yes.”

I got back in the car and headed to work with the grandfather who had the brightest smile I had ever seen.

“So how long have you been dating that guy’s granddaughter?”

“We’ve known each other for a while, but we’ve only been dating for a few months.”

“Huh. I never thought I would end up becoming in-laws with that guy.”

“You seem very friendly?”

“We’re close. I saw Miju a few times when I was little.”

“Are you from the US?”

“The mother of the kid you’re dating. That family has three sons and one daughter. It’s the complete opposite of ours.”

I headed to work with my grandfather, who was looking out the window and thinking, without saying a word.

When I arrived at the company and went to the chairman’s office, my father was waiting for me.

“Father. Why are you leaving me alone to go eat!”

“What are you talking about when you didn’t even tell me to wait?”

“Haha. That’s true.”

“Son. Did you eat well?”

“Dad. Did you meet Sae-ah’s older sister’s father?”

“Where?”

“At a restaurant with my grandfather.”

“Oh, right. Taesan-ah. Sit down.”

Dad suddenly sits down and looks around.

I sat down next to him and my grandfather spoke.

“Did you know that Jangson was dating Chunsu’s granddaughter?”

“Right?”

“But why don’t you say anything?”

“I found out a few days ago when I was on vacation.”

“How do you know that when you’re on vacation?”

“You knew me when you saw my business card while we were hanging out together?”

“Then if you’re a vice president at your age, you’ll know by looking at your business card. How can you be worse than the eldest grandson, this son!”

Dad gets hit on the head by Grandpa.

It was a relief to see the right look.

After some time had passed and I said goodbye to my grandfather, I went down to the parking lot with my dad, who said he would take me, and got in the car and headed home.

“Dad. Then, do moms know too?”

“No. We decided to keep it a secret between dads.”

“But it seems like the craftsman isn’t treating you well?”

“I only know the chairman. I didn’t know the children? But the wife was the daughter?”

“Oh. So?”

“This is like a drama. The wife was against the marriage at home. So she ran away from home to marry her brother-in-law.”

“You’re saying that’s why you’re being treated badly?”

“That’s right. My brother-in-law is a thief. He didn’t even support me, but he said he’s been paying a little more attention to me lately.”

“So you said you saved money on Sae-ah’s tuition and bought a fishing rod?”

“Right. It’s not that it’s lacking, but it’s not that it’s super abundant either. Is this a secret only for men?”

“But you already said hello to the chairman there. Don’t you think your mother-in-law knows by now?”

“Really? Haha, it’s nothing special, you’ll figure it out.”

As we were talking, we arrived in front of the house and my dad dropped me off in front of the house.

“Son. See you later~!”

“Yeah. Take care.”

I reported to my mom that I had a good trip and headed home with the intention of going to my sister’s house.

“It’s out~!”

“Son! Did you talk to your grandfather? He said he was really happy that you raised him well? ”

“I gave all the credit to my mom.”

“Hehehe. Good job. Then I don’t have to move, right?”

“Yeah. I told you I’m not going. I’ll just change my clothes and go to Sae-ah’s house.”

“Okay~”

I changed into comfortable clothes and headed straight to Sae-ah’s house.

My mother-in-law arrived a minute after leaving the house and rang the bell, and she opened the door for me.

“You said you had a meal with Grandpa Sae-ah?”

“Haha. Yeah, how did it turn out like that?”

“Oh my. I never thought that my in-laws were from that house.”

“Your grandfather knows your mother-in-law too?”

“Because when I was little, you came to my house to play sometimes. Sae-ah is in her room, so go in~”

“Yes.”

I headed to my sister’s room, knocked, and opened the door.

It closed right away.

Sister Saea in a nasi outfit.

“Huh, sister? Aren’t your clothes a bit like that?”

“Just a moment. I’ll change and go out right away.”

“Yeah.”

I knew it, but my older sister has definitely grown a lot.

It seems like the prayer my older sister said before going to study abroad worked.

As I was waiting on the living room sofa, my sister came out of the room wearing a short-sleeved T-shirt.

“Did you eat?”

“Yeah. I ate. Did you eat, Sister?”

“Yeah. I ate with my mom.”

Since my mother-in-law wasn’t there, I sat on the sofa with my older sister, holding her hand.

My body is suddenly becoming sleepy, perhaps because I didn’t take a nap.

I closed my eyes to rest them for a moment.

My mother-in-law waking me up because I was sleeping.

“Son-in-law! If you’re sleepy, go to your room and sleep!”

“Ah. I should go home and sleep.”

“Just sleep in Saea’s room.”

“Yes. Then I’ll sleep for a bit and go.”

I naturally fell asleep in my sister’s room.

***

“Son~!”

“Son~!”

under…

Here we go again.

Open your eyes. Huh?

Why on earth can I hear Dad’s voice from Sae-ah’s bed?

I looked to the side and saw my sister Saea sleeping.

And then I heard the door opening and looked at it.

“Oh my! My son is all grown up.”

Dad opens the door slightly, sticks his head out, and smiles while talking.

I left the room so as not to wake my sleeping sister.

“What? Why are you here?”

“No. Son! Dad’s joy is waking up his son, but when I went to his room, he wasn’t home!”

“But?”

“That’s why I came to wake you up!”

“Ha…”

The mother-in-law, who was watching this scene from the side, shook her head.

“Dad. But isn’t it rude to come to someone else’s house and yell like that?”

“It’s okay. I’m sure your wife will understand.”

I looked at my mother-in-law, who was wondering what was going on. She looked at my father and was dumbfounded, wondering what kind of person that was.

“Mother-in-law. This is our daily life.”

“I only heard that you woke me up. I didn’t know it would be this bad.”

“If I sleep next time, please don’t open the door. Please.”

“Okay, I got it. Son-in-law.”

“Son. Isn’t that too harsh?”

“Dad. This is pretty good.”

“Dehat.”

“Where did you see that and why you’re saying that? Please don’t do that.”

“I learned it from Ye-eun.”

“Let’s go.”

“See you tomorrow, mother-in-law.”

“Madam, see you later.”

“Yeah. My son-in-law has had a hard time. I’ll see you later.”

I bowed my head to my mother-in-law who had seen such an unsightly sight.

I headed home with my dad who came to wake me up.
