I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 123



Only Krnovel

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (123)

“What are you thinking about?”

“Don’t think about anything.”

“Then put out your cigarette. You are 60 years old now.”

“Ugh~.”

This is Gyeongseong. Park Sang-ui, who was smoking a cigarette by the window, let out a deep sigh at his wife’s nagging.

Now I only have one brother left, and he’s causing a stir in the house.

Does that mean I’m going to drag you home and beat you up like I used to?

Now that I was at an age where I didn’t have the strength to do that, I just sat on the floor and sighed.

“The ground is collapsing. Stop it.”

“No, what do you want me to do, not letting me smoke or take a breath?”

“You have to find a solution. You are the head of this household.”

“What the heck, I’ve been a paper tiger for a long time.”

Park Sang-ui did not want to get involved in this incident.

What does it matter to me if my brother cheats on me with some woman?

No, I have a sister-in-law who has taken care of my mother for over 30 years. Are you going to acknowledge that woman, whose face you don’t even know, as your sister-in-law now?

No matter what that woman does, she can never become a member of this family.

Even if she gave birth to a son who would continue the family line, that fact did not change; even that little boy was not treated as family.

The problem is how to control traffic.

Park Sang-ui passed the baton to his son.

It’s not that he’s avoiding responsibility, but the son has long been the real power in this family, and no matter how much the paper tiger cries, the verdict can be overturned with just one word from the son.

The problem is that the son made an ambiguous decision, giving his aunt 50 million won out of his own pocket.

Are you saying I should get out of this house and get this money or are you saying I should do whatever I want?

Honestly, there is no reason for my sister-in-law to leave the house right now.

I have been a daughter-in-law to my in-laws for 30 years, so who would want me to leave? If I want to hold out until the end, that is my freedom, so my family is just watching what I say.

Then, shouldn’t adults step forward at times like these?

No matter how much he thought about it, it was ridiculous to kick out his sister-in-law who had taken care of his in-laws for 30 years. Park Sang-geun was pressured by his wife.

“What did your sister-in-law do wrong? Didn’t you take care of your in-laws? Didn’t you have a child with your husband? It was wrong of you to have an affair with such a wife.”

“…Yeah, you’re right.”

“If you think it’s right, go and show it with action. If you make your position clear, the young master will feel pressured as well.”

After much thought, Park Sang-ui wrote a letter to his younger brother.

At this age, I couldn’t just beat my younger brother up with my fists, so I used the fence called family to put as much pressure on him as possible.

[I don’t care which woman you live with.

Back then, you were immature, so I beat you up and corrected you, but now that you’re older, you know what’s right and what’s wrong.

Does it make sense to leave your wife who has taken care of your in-laws for 30 years and bring another woman into the house? No matter who you play with, that woman cannot become part of our family.

I tell you again, I only have one sister-in-law. If you’re going to let that woman into your house, don’t show yourself in front of me.]

An attitude that is prepared to even be polite to my younger brother,

Park Jeong-ui was forced into a defensive position due to fierce opposition from his family.

Since his family already knew the whole truth, he figured that excuses wouldn’t work, so after much thought, he said goodbye to his mistress.

The problem was that this affair had lasted for over 10 years, and the woman who had been abandoned overnight resisted fiercely.

“Okay, let’s say I throw it away, then what are you going to do about the child?”

“That’s… I’ll send you child support.”

“Are you such an irresponsible person? You were the one who approached me by pretending to be single? Is it okay for you to trample on someone else’s life like this and pretend not to know? I dropped out of Ewha Womans University to marry you. Do you think it’s okay to ruin someone’s life just because you have some power?”

Park Jeong-ui was left speechless by the rapid-fire attacks.

The tall and pretty girlfriend who attended Ewha Womans University was also very attractive.

She gave up on going to college, saying she wanted to get married right away, but after stalling for a year or two, saying it wasn’t right now, she ended up here.

An accident caused by a moment of lust. What about the mistress and the hidden child?

Even if you send child support, what crime has a child committed if he grows up without a father? In the end, he ends up getting grabbed by the collar.

“I wasted 10 years of my life because of you!! What are you going to do now?!! Take responsibility for my life!! You made many people cry and what?!! Break up with me?!! What kind of politics can a guy like you do?!! Aren’t you ashamed in front of the president who trusted you and entrusted his party to you?!! Say something!!”

The man whose collar was grabbed shook his head violently.

It is so embarrassing that I can’t even go out and talk about it, as the director of the political bureau of the Korean People’s Party was treated like this. I just kept quiet until my mistress’s anger subsided.

***

“Sister-in-law, are you feeling upset these days?”

“No. It’s hard to endure it once or twice. How hard would it be to endure it three times?”

The same routine that repeats itself today,

I invited my aunt to the President’s Office.

Originally, I should call her aunt, but since my uncle and I are like brothers, I just call her sister-in-law out of friendliness.

My aunt, who has suffered for 30 years since marrying into the Park family, must be feeling bad after being treated so rudely by my uncle for so long, and now this incident has even happened.

So, if you don’t like the sight of your uncle, you can just run away, but the aunt I know isn’t the kind of person who would do that.

She is literally the epitome of a good wife and wise mother. Despite the fact that her husband has committed such an act, she still takes care of her mother-in-law who is in her 90s.

It is a divine punishment to mistreat such a person.

So I ended up openly cursing my uncle.

“If I hadn’t been your sister-in-law, I would have broken your leg. How could you do something like that?”

“Young Master, you wouldn’t be like that. I know you very well.”

“Whew~ That’s true too. Even if I beat up my uncle, will the relationship between you and your sister-in-law get better?”

The atmosphere has become even more gloomy because of unnecessary talk. How can I fix this?

First of all, I respected my aunt’s position.

“Sister-in-law, what should I do for you? Tell me what you want. If you want to start over, I will support you both materially and spiritually. If you want your uncle to kneel, I will do that.”

“How can I make a fresh start at this age? My mother is over 90 years old. Would she feel at ease if I left like this? And I don’t want to receive a forced apology from that guy. An apology that is forced upon you by others is not an apology.”

“Haha~ You only say the right things, so I have nothing to say.”

And so the conversation returned to its origins.

Is it really the status quo that your aunt wants? Can she really continue to live with her mother-in-law as if nothing happened?

My aunt’s behavior is something I can’t understand at all.

The following remarks were even more shocking.

“Your Majesty, what will happen to that child?”

“Iranyo?”

“I’m talking about the child that she gave birth to. If the two of you separate like this, the child will be the only one who feels sorry for her… What crime has the child committed? Let’s accept that child into our family.”

“No… Sister-in-law, are you serious?”

“Yes, it’s not right for a family of great wealth to harbor resentment. I’m worried that this incident will cause concern to our family and even to the young master.”

I closed my eyes tightly.

How could you cheat on a wife like this? I wouldn’t feel satisfied even if I called my uncle and beat him with a stick 100 times, but that’s not what my aunt wants.

I decided to handle this case according to my aunt’s wishes, so I will follow her wishes and thoroughly reflect her opinions in the future as well.

“Are you Lee Se-Hyeon?”

“Yes… but?”

“Please come with us for a moment.”

This is Gyeongseong, several men are surrounding a woman.

The identity of the person is that of a Central Intelligence Agency agent who came to clean up the mess left by the stain on the President’s family.

The mistress, who realized that her opponent was the pinnacle of power in South Korea and that resisting was pointless, obediently went on her way.

“The President has given instructions. Please straighten out your relationship with Director of Political Affairs Park Jeong-ui immediately.”

“Heh~ In that case, he’s already sorted that out. Please don’t meddle in my life anymore.”

“What are you going to do about the child?”

“Why? Are you going to get rid of it because it’s a dirty bloodline?”

“No. It is His Majesty’s will that a family of great accomplishments should not create resentment. The child will be raised as a member of the Goryeong Park family.”

“Is that… is that true?”

“Yes, so you just need to sign the papers giving up custody.”

The Central Intelligence Agency agent held out a bag of money and documents in front of his mistress.

In this day and age, an elite who graduated from Ewha Womans University ruined her life by fooling around with a guy, so who knows what she’ll do in the future?

The president’s instructions were to clean up the situation so that there would be no further trouble, and his mistress accepted the offer.

After securing the child’s identity, the Central Intelligence Agency agents registered the child in the Goryeong Park family register, and all procedures were carried out quickly.

[Name: Park Myeong-ui (age 2 years and 7 months), gender male]

[Father: Park Jeong-ui]

[Mother: Kim Ho-nam]

[Family Register Verifier: Park Sang-ui, Park Sang-geun]

With the President and his father having completed the family register verification, the child was now a member of the Goryeong Park family, but the most important procedure still remained.

“Mom!! Why did you bring him here?!!”

“You keep quiet, it’s already over.”

“Oh my~ Mom, are you an idiot?!! Why do you live your life making sacrifices like that?!!”

“I told you to be quiet. Why are you yelling and scaring the kid? He’s your little brother.”

This is Gyeongseong,

The appearance of a child turned the old Park family upside down.

A child trembling with anxiety, surrounded by strangers, her legal mother steps forward.

“Myung-ee, this is the house you will live in from now on.”

“Eeeek~.”

A child who whines because he is very shy,

But the legal mother took her time and consoled the child.

I knew she would be anxious being separated from her mother, so what could I do if I kept nagging her? I held her in my arms and consoled her, and she calmed down a little.

“Is the baby here?”

“Yes, mother, your grandchild is here.”

“Oh no~ I don’t want to see it. I feel so bad towards you.”

The mother-in-law who appeared just in time,

The daughter-in-law handed over her grandchild, but Mrs. Baek Nam kept her eyes tightly shut.

Even if there were no children to continue the family line, should I hold an illegitimate child in my arms? In fact, more than that, I did not have the face to look straight at my daughter-in-law who had suffered all this time taking care of my mother-in-law.

“Mother, please don’t do that. Please hug your great-grandchild.”

“Oh my~ I don’t know, I guess I’ve lived too long to see such ugly things.”

“He is a child of the old Park family, which even the young master acknowledges. Would he really go against the president’s wishes?”

The mother-in-law turned her head after her daughter-in-law’s repeated persuasion.

Even if she was born from a mistress’s stomach, the seed of our family, Mrs. Baek Nam, held her great-grandchild in her arms.

“Oh my~ You were saved by your mother. Oh my~ You rascal.”

Mrs. Baek Nam shed tears while holding her great-grandson in her arms.

I’m sorry and thankful to my daughter-in-law. How can I express my feelings?

He ground his teeth, saying that once that son of a bitch came home, he wouldn’t leave him alone.

A mother in her 90s was waiting with a club in her hand, but the sinner, who knew his sins, could not set foot in the house.
