Chapter Index

    As soon as I saw Moyongmo, I quickly jumped out of the tram and hid behind the tram.

    No, even if you are unlucky, how can you be this unlucky?

    Does it make sense to meet Mo Yong-mo on the day he went undercover as a miner?

    As soon as I saw Moyongmo, what happened in the mine today came to mind.

    The sense of selfishness that was awakened while reaching the state of flower garden.

    I was intoxicated by that feeling and ended up acting far beyond my limits.

    “Are you here!”

    Fortunately, Mo Yong-mo and his group focused their attention on the supervisors who rushed out of the mine shaft rather than on my actions as they hurriedly hid behind the mine car.

    “Okay, Director Jang. Thank you for your hard work.”

    “Sorry! I should have been there to meet you in advance…”

    The skinny merchant, who seemed to have a fairly high position, glanced at me and opened his mouth, as the supervisor kept bending down and making a fuss.

    “But isn’t the safety management too inadequate compared to the effort? Putting people on a tram?”

    “Ah! no! It was just something we did to boost morale because there were miners who dug up a lot of ore today!”

    “Huh. The person called the manager…”

    It was when a skinny merchant was putting pressure on his supervisor.

    “Hahahahaha!!”

    Mo Yong-mo’s laughter interrupted the merchant.

    “It’s great to see that you seem to truly enjoy your work! Hahahaha!!”

    As Mo Yong-mo laughed heartily, the skinny merchant instantly changed his attitude of pressuring the supervisor like catching a rat.

    “Huh. It seems that this mother-in-law only knew one and did not know the other. Raising the morale of miners was as important as safety management, but you were blind to only one thing.”

    “Hahaha! How can you blame me? You just did what you had to do!”

    “No. In order to govern your subordinates, you need to know ten things, but you were pretending to know everything by only knowing one thing… Today, I received a great enlightenment from Mo Yong-mo Daehyeop.”

    “Hahahaha!! That’s a good thing!”

    An exclamation came out of my mouth at the sight unfolding before my eyes.

    Mo Yong-mo, acting like a treacherous person who seems to have truly learned something from what Aesong said, and Mo Yong-mo, who was fooled by such treacherous acting, is making an expression that says, ‘I did something during this inspection, too.’

    “We will seek ways to boost the morale of miners and report back.”

    “I’m sorry I increased the workload for no reason.”

    “This is a very unfair statement. Shouldn’t we work tirelessly for the development of the mine?”

    “Hahahahaha!”

    “Huhuhuhuhuhu!”

    The expressions of not only the miners but also the supervisors became strange due to the two people’s thumping.

    “Now, let’s check the harvest amount.”

    “Hmm! It looks like the harvest is huge! Is this the amount mined in one day?”

    “Yes. Isn’t it because Mo Yong-sega’s insight as to what it would be like to look through a new light channel shined through?”

    A skinny treacherous person who flatters like he’s breathing.

    “Hahaha! The miners must have put in a lot of hard work.”

    Suddenly Moyongmo looked in my direction.

    “Are you the miner who did the best job today?”

    “That’s right.”

    Yeo Kwang-soo looked at me with strange eyes. That must be because his voice suddenly became altered.

    “Hmm…..”

    Moyongmo suddenly looks at me.

    …Did you get caught?

    Although Mo Yong-mo has the disadvantage of acting a bit too extravagant and falling for a treacherous merchant, he is still a top expert and is not completely oblivious.

    If he was really clueless, he wouldn’t have even been able to choose the option of getting my drink from that cup at that time.

    Mo Yong-mo makes a suspicious expression.

    It looks like it’s going to be long.

    So, the Hwa-gyeong master I met at the guesthouse at that time and I are absolutely not the same person?

    Ah, what kind of fireworks master in the world would become a miner and work with a pickaxe?

    Trust your common sense! Mo Yong Mo!

    Did my support work?

    Of course not.

    It was when Mo Yong-mo, who had this expression on his face, nodded.

    “Oh my! Don’t even talk! This guy dug up half of the iron ore mined today!”

    The manager interjected, spitting.

    “How good you are at your job! It was truly amazing how ore dripped down every time I grinded it!”

    Mo Yong-mo’s face hardened once again after hearing the supervisor’s words.

    “He swings the pickaxe fiercely, just like a martial arts expert swings a sword! In my 10 years of experience as a supervisor, I have never seen anyone who does his job as well as this person!”

    huh. It’s over.

    I gave up everything and looked at Mo Yong Mo.

    Looking at Moyongmo’s pupils shaking as if there had been an earthquake, it seemed pointless to hold on any longer.

    The treacherous merchant who saw such a strange appearance asked curiously.

    “Do you know someone by any chance?”

    “…Ha…Haha! No! I just knew him for a moment…no, he resembles a person!”

    “Hey, there are all sorts of amazing things going on. As expected, Mo Yong-mo seems to have a deep connection with this mine.”

    “Haha! ha ha ha! Haha!”

    Mo Yong-mo continued to laugh in an increasingly awkward voice and left the place with the merchants.

    The fact that he didn’t make eye contact with me until the end was a bonus.

    Mo Yong-mo trembled on her final journey.

    -See you later in the evening at Seowoo Gaekjan. Brother.

    It was because I sent a message.

    I quenched my appetite while watching Moyongmo walking away. Is it possible to silence that guy?

    “You guys! You worked hard today! Ha ha ha ha ha! Yes, especially you! Thank you very much!”

    The supervisor kept bursting into laughter, probably because he thought he had put a firm stamp on Mo Yong-mo and the treacherous merchant.

    Why are you so sure that you got the score?

    The treacherous merchant, who was actually the boss, was in a situation where he had to find a way to boost morale and submit a report due to the actions of his supervisor.

    I think I lost a lot of points, but for some reason the supervisor seemed very happy.

    “By any chance, does Mr. Mo Yong-mo come out for inspection often?”

    “It’s like that! It can be said that he is almost the only person in the Moyong family who inspects the site!”

    “Oh, it looks like few other people come?”

    “But in the past, other people from the Moyong family also came to inspect from time to time. It seems that only Moyongmo Daehyeop comes to these days.”

    The supervisor, who had been responding cheerfully to my answer, made a disappointed expression and took out a work voucher from his pocket and handed it out.

    “Sleep! Get off work! Get off work! Finish it tomorrow! Hahaha!”

    The miners’ complexions brightened.

    Is it natural since there is no one who doesn’t like leaving work early?

    “ya! Thanks to you, I can try leaving work early!”

    “It looks like even those vicious supervisors had no choice but to acknowledge your performance!”

    “It was truly a mad pickaxe fight!”

    A miner who kept praising me on the way down the mountain.

    Since I left work early, I rejected the miners’ recommendation that I should have a drink.

    “Sorry. My body is tired…”

    “Huh. Yes, he performed well today, so it’s only natural.”

    When the miners’ favorability level rose, I wanted to finish the favorability story by having a drink, but the issue that needed to be dealt with first now was Mo Yong-mo’s side.

    If Mo Yong-mo opens his mouth, he won’t even be able to work as a miner here anymore, so is the current miners’ favorability the problem?

    “You! You were born to be a miner! You will succeed, so don’t give up!”

    After being seen off by Yeo Gwang-soo, we left the mining village and headed to the guest house where we were supposed to meet Mo Yong-mo.

    There, I saw a mysterious figure waiting for me with an anxious expression.

    “Hahaha! Brother, were you waiting for me in advance?”

    “Tongue, brother…”

    Moyongmo smiled awkwardly.

    “I was very surprised to meet you at the mine today, I was surprised!”

    “…I never imagined that I would see you in a place like that. Why were you disguising yourself as a miner in Moyongse’s mine?”

    Mo Yong-mo’s face as she said those words was full of caution.

    Since an unidentified fireworks expert had infiltrated his business, it was natural for him to be nervous.

    “Brother!”

    “Yes.”

    That’s why I protested.

    “I’m so sorry!”

    “….Yes?”

    “Did I seem like a person who would allow anyone to use different names? I was truly drawn to your extravagance that day…! You’re avoiding me!”

    A look of deep wariness passed across Mo Yong-mo’s face for a moment.

    “I heard that the group hangs out with Mo Yong-yeon-hwa, who came from their hometown…”

    “That’s it!”

    “Yes?”

    “That’s why I went into the mine disguised as a miner!”

    A look of confusion appeared on Mo Yongmo’s face.

    “Brother! Apart from wanting to deepen your relationship with your brother, you also have a position! There is a relationship with the group, so of course Mo Yong-se has no choice but to hang out with people from his family?”

    “…is that so?”

    “Hehe. This person is so frustrating!”

    I spoke passionately, pounding my chest as if I was losing my temper.

    “I have reached a high level, so why would I disguise myself as a miner? It was all just to meet you!”

    “Umm.”

    “I am not unaware of the dispute between the Moyongsega and the Shaanseobunta, so how could I have a relationship with you with Moyong Yeonhwa Sojeo right next to me? When I heard it, there was a rumor going around in this island that my brother was watching the mine very carefully!”

    “Is that so?”

    The corner of Mo Yongmo’s mouth twitched slightly.

    “Yes! There is a rumor going around that there is no one Mr. Moyong who takes care of the mine like your brother! As soon as I heard that rumor, this thought came to my head! ah! If you are my brother, you will most likely move to calm down the mine personnel who will be upset by the appearance of the family members! Then, if I infiltrate the mine, I will be able to see my brother!”

    “Are you saying that you infiltrated the mine…to meet me?”

    “That’s right! My brother worked so hard just to see your face!”

    I rolled my eyes and looked at Mo Yong-mo.

    “Well, it was definitely nice to see your younger brother being so passionate…”

    “Brother…”

    Mo Yong-mo looked at me with a touched expression, and then, as if she had made up her mind, she stood up and gave me a hug.

    “Sorry! older brother! Please forgive this Emperor Wu! For a moment, I couldn’t recognize my brother’s sincerity and had wrong thoughts!”

    …Fool me on this?

    This thought passed through my mind for a moment, but when I thought about it, it seemed more realistic for the Hwagyeong master to disguise himself as a miner to get a look at his brother-in-law rather than to become a miner himself and infiltrate the mine in order to spy on the mine.

    The former is just crazy, but the latter is romantic.

    hmm.

    When I report to Mo Yong-seo later, I have to say that it was an action designed to get information from Mo Yong-mo.

    “It’s okay! Because it is true that I have done something that could have been misunderstood! So now, let’s shake off all the misunderstandings and drink until your nose gets crooked!”

    “Yes! Brother!”

    I raised my glass to Mo Yong-mo, who was filled with tears of emotion, in order to extract Bunta’s internal information.

    *** ***

    My impression of Moyongmo was simple.

    I’m just a kid who lives his life as he pleases.

    Aside from the fact that he is Shaanseobunta’s collateral, he doesn’t back down even if his companions glare at him like that. Like excessively portraying Daehyeop’s appearance. They say they show how they are playing around with treacherous merchants in the mines.

    It was enough to make that judgment.

    “Wow…the people working in the mines…in a big sense, aren’t they members of the Mo Yong family!”

    However, after sharing a drink and listening to Mo Yong-mo’s words, my thoughts changed slightly.

    “Today, I looked at the mining village and felt bad because it seemed to have become even more shabby.”

    Even though the child was not very smart, he seemed to have a sense of cooperation in his own way.

    “No matter what, if you work hard, you will get good results.”

    “Hahaha! you’re right! Lately, I’ve been feeling discouraged due to lack of results, but Brother Lee’s comforting me cheers me up! Draw it!”

    He must have been so thirsty for recognition that I felt a little sad that he would die after giving me a few words of praise.

    “It’s difficult these days. It’s difficult… The prestigious political faction located nearby doesn’t have a very good opinion of us, and that perception shows no signs of breaking.”

    Moyongmo let out a long sigh.

    “Huh. Still, isn’t it true that they are so stubborn towards the small people?”

    A bitter look passed across Mo Yongmo’s face.

    “I know it’s rude, but they don’t even respond to me, so what can I do?”

    “Umm.”

    I slowly began to have doubts.

    Regardless of the result, I understand that Mo Yong-mo is working hard for Bunta in his own way… but why is Shaanse Bunta leaving Mo Yong-mo alone like this?

    I know that Mo Yong-mo has his own way of thinking and that his personality is not bad.

    But that’s it.

    He grew up as a boy from a wealthy family, so he didn’t know much about the world and was overwhelmingly inexperienced in all aspects.

    When he shows his sincere side, he smiles excessively and exaggeratedly. Or it was an inspection that was worse than anything else. Or maybe it’s just that they seem to be accusing their group of people.

    To be honest, it could be said that Mo Yong-mo often causes accidents due to excessive motivation.

    But why does Mo Yong-se and Seomseobunta not rein in Mo Yong-mo?

    Suddenly, the supervisor’s words passed through my head.

    It was said that people from the Moyong family, except for Moyongmo, rarely come to visit.

    “Mining is a family affair, so why not get help from others?”

    Mo Yong-mo let out a long sigh, emptied her glass, and then spoke.

    “Everyone has work to do.”

    Because it has to be done.

    Those were meaningful words.

    Does this mean that there is currently something to worry about in Shaanxi Bunta other than mining?

    “Huh, is there anything else I need to do in Shaanxi Bunta right now besides taking care of mine matters?”

    I tried to hint, but Mo Yong-mo just kept her mouth shut and drank.

    Was there a lack of trust to tell intimate stories?

    “Yes, drink it!”

    “Yes brother!”

    Instead of being greedy, I comforted Moyongmo’s heart. I decided that it would be better to naturally build friendships and gather clues little by little, rather than trying to forcefully uncover secrets.

    And the next day.

    I immediately went to see Mo Yong-seo and Mo Yong-yeon-hwa.

    Mo Yong-seo and Mo Yong-yeon-hwa, who heard my performance, let out exclamations of exclamation.

    “Huh… It’s really amazing that he was able to kill two birds with one stone by winning Moyongmo’s heart and at the same time understanding the mine’s trends.”

    “You’re infiltrating the mine as a miner. You don’t shy away from even difficult tasks to take care of your family’s affairs…”

    “That’s too much praise.”

    “No, not really. Because it was truly unimaginable. As expected, it was a good thing I left it to you.”

    As I listened to Mo Yong-seo’s praise, I was so embarrassed that I cleared my throat.

    “To be humble…hehe.”

    Seeing me like that, Mo Yong-seo murmurs as if his favorability has once again increased.

    “Keuhum. Anyway, it seems clear that something is going on inside Bunta.”

    “Hmm. That’s true. I guess they did it because they had some people in Shaanseobunta that they trusted.”

    Mo Yong-seo stroked his beard and frowned.

    “I have a bad feeling. It’s definitely something to check.”

    “I think it would be a good idea for you two to check out the atmosphere inside Seomseobunta.”

    No matter how much the main family and the Shaanse Bunta are at odds, it would be difficult to refuse the visit of Mo Yong-seo, who can be said to be the elder brother of the Mo Yong family.

    “No.”

    However, Mo Yong-seo flatly rejected my offer.

    “It would be better for Yeonhwa and you to go to Bunta.”

    Instead, he made a suggestion that I had never even considered.
