Living With My Brother-In-Law

“Thank you for your hard work today!”

“Yeah. Thank you. I’m grateful every time.”

“Hey, we’re helping each other out. Since it’s tonkatsu today, if you shower and come out, it’ll be ready right away. I’ve prepared your clothes!”

Our brother, who not only has a very handsome face but also a kind heart.

“Thanks!”

Even as he goes into the shower room, my brother, who never forgets to say thank you, is not actually my real brother.

He’s my sister’s husband.

In other words, he’s my brother-in-law.

“Um, okay.”

I’ve already raised the oil temperature according to when my brother is coming.

I check the oil temperature and put in the tonkatsu that I made in advance.

As soon as the tonkatsu goes in, you can see the white bread crumbs that were initially pale starting to cook with a sizzling sound.

“Phew.”

I skim off the ones that don’t stick to the tonkatsu and rise above the oil, repeating the process until the tonkatsu floats up.

Using this much oil is wasteful since you use it once and throw it away.

No matter how much money my brother makes, if he wastes it unnecessarily, he’ll end up spending more money.

There’s a person who earns 700 a month and another who earns 200. If the person earning 700 spends 500 a month and the person earning 200 divides and saves, spending 50… Roughly, the person earning 700 will have 200 left, and the person earning 200 will have 150…

The analogy was wrong… Earning more money is the best, right?

Anyway, ultimately, you shouldn’t waste.

You should also think about saving and putting money into savings accounts.

While I’m at it, I also take care of my salary.

The reason I do this is partly to atone and partly to earn pocket money. It’s more than what you’d get from working at a convenience store, but that’s why I save a lot.

I don’t really know much about accounting, but I have a general understanding, and I mainly focus on cooking since I feel like a housekeeper who cooks and cleans. Cleaning is actually just a side thing, but it’s something I enjoy.

“Ahh… feels refreshing.”

“Eat it while it’s hot. It turned out quite tasty today.”

My brother, who just finished showering, sat in front of me.

His roughly dried hair somehow suits him well.

Why would someone like him be taking fashion photos? There are some women who like men with wet hair, after all.

Well, it’s probably because of his face.

“Hehe, whatever you make, Jiyu, it’s delicious.”

My brother cut the tonkatsu into big pieces and took a bite as it is.

The crispy sound was heard, and a smile formed on his face.

“Oh… this is really good.”

My brother dipped the tonkatsu in sauce and placed it next to him before eating, as the best part about tonkatsu is its crispiness, which I also acknowledge.

“How is it? Delicious, right!”

“Yeah, it’s really delicious.”

This brother really loves tonkatsu.

When I first started living with my brother-in-law, there wasn’t much time, so I had to settle for frozen tonkatsu, but it was tear-inducing.

How difficult must it have been…

It’s all because of my sister.

Not only does she not clean, do laundry, or wash dishes, but she spends all the money my brother earns on luxury goods, behaving like a crazy woman who doesn’t do any housework despite being a housewife.

And then she cheats with other men and disappears.

It’s been three months.

Since I lived with my brother.

It’s only been six months.

Since my sister married my brother and lived together.
