From the moment Jeong Gukk opened his eyes, he saw a thatched roof, and then he realized that this was not his body. He was sure that he had transmigrated. After all, he remembered his last moments. He was on the plane going to Paris, and the plane he was boarding crashed. He didn't believe he could survive that accident. Even if he did, he would be in the hospital, not in this thatched house that looked like it was from the ancient period. He didn't know where he was.

After holding back the feeling of dizziness, he sat up from the bed vigorously. There was a rattling noise as he moved his body. Gukk lowered his head to see where the sound came from and saw a pile of hay under the shabby bed sheets.

Then Gukk looked around. The surrounding walls were obviously built for a long time. The dirt from the walls looked like it was wiped out just recently, and several seams had been cracked. The only window in the house had several rotten holes, which were not enough to cover the wind and rain. Except for one bed, the whole room was in tatters—the chairs and the table were both missing one leg, and the house didn't have much furniture.

By looking at the house's condition, Gukk was already sure that he had transmigrated to a poor family.

He still didn't know what kind of environment he had transmigrated to or what it looked like outside. Gukk resisted the pain in his body and the feeling of nausea. He slowly moved his legs out of bed to get out of the room.

Gukk wanted to go outside to take a look, but when he just stood up, his head started pounding, and a dazzling white light flashed through him. In the next second, he fell into the darkness.

When Gukk woke up again, he was awakened by a loud voice. Gukk was still a little confused when he opened his eyes.

A sudden flood of memories belonging to another person flowed through his mind when he was in his sleep. No, it should be said that it was the memory of the original owner.

It turned out that the original owner had just arrived at this house yesterday and was bought out by the owner of this house for two taels of silver.

"Hey, Hey." Before Gukk could recall this body's memory, the call from his side pulled him back to reality.

Gukk turned to look at the person standing by the bed.

A tall man caught his eyes, dressed in sackcloth, with patches piled on his clothes. His long black hair was tied behind his head in a bun, his skin was honey tonned, and he had bland facial features.

Gukk knew that this was the man who bought "him" yesterday from the trader for two taels of silver. The man in front of him was the owner of the house.

At that moment, the man bent down slightly and saw Gukk's eyes cast on him. His brows were slightly furrowed, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort? "

Gukk shook his head slightly and replied softly, "I'm okay."

The man did not relax his brows when he heard his answer. He looked at Gukk with complicated eyes.

After a while, he said: "Don't worry, I won't force you to do anything. I just didn't want you to be sold to that old man. "

After finishing this sentence, he pursed his lips and said, "When you recover from your injury, I will let you go. You can focus on your recovery and stop thinking about other things. "

Gukk listened to the man silently, feeling helpless. He sighed.

The original owner of this body was once a highly regarded maid, serving the Hong family's Matriarch, a prominent family in the city. Gukk was pretty beautiful, so he was valued by the Hong family's Eldest Young Master and wanted him to serve him. The original owner also had the mind of climbing the dragon and being the phoenix, so he was secretly eyeing the Eldest Young Master. The Matriarch unexpectedly knew his motives. The Matriarch took advantage of the time when the Eldest Young Master went out to meet his friends. She hurriedly sold the maid and specifically explained to the trader that she must sell the person to a distant village. That is how the trader brought him to this village.

Initially, the lustful old man in the village saw that the original owner was beautiful, and suddenly he took out one and a half tael of silver to buy the original owner. After seeing that the one who bought him was a bad-looking old man, he started crying and saying ‘he would rather die than surrender himself to the old man.’

This commotion was seen by Kim Taehyung, who was chopping wood in the corner. He suddenly thought of his younger sister, who had the same situation as him. He felt sympathy for a while, so he had decided to buy the original owner for two taels of silver.

Taehyung successfully bought the original owner, but he was very unwilling to surrender himself to a farmer when he saw this dilapidated house. Still, he couldn't run away by himself, and he couldn't survive even if he ran away. Left with no choices, he decided to swallow rat poison in the corner of the house without thinking. When he woke up again, he became "Jeong Gukk," who transmigrated in the body.

Gukk quickly weighed his current situation and found that he couldn't live alone.

This Great Kim Dynasty's setting is quite conservative, and the restraints on omega’s were even higher. Omega can't show up alone to make money if their family backgrounds are unknown. What's more, wherever they go now, they require household registration. The original owner was a slave. Now he has been sold here. He didn't have a place to return to. He didn't even have a household registration. Let alone money to support himself, and he has no place to go if he was to leave the village.

Right now, the only thing he can rely on is this family, the Alpha in front of him. Although it was still unclear what the nature of this alpha was. The Alpha was able to buy the original owner for two taels of silver to prevent him from binding himself to the perverted old man. Now he is even willing to let him go. It would not be a bad idea to stay here. It's better than going out and wandering away from the unknown.

“In this case, let's retake a look at the situation. It's not a big deal, and I could find another way.”

After thinking about his current situation, Gukk settled down and looked up at the Alpha in front of him. He smiled lightly and slowly said, "Thank you for buying me yesterday. I couldn't think straight last night. I'm okay now. I won't be like that anymore, so please don't worry. " After speaking, he hesitated and looked at the Alpha: "Now I have nowhere to go, and I don't have a household registration. If you don't dislike it, I want to stay here. "

Taehyung was slightly surprised seeing that his attitude suddenly changed.

Initially, he recklessly bought him out of sympathy when he remembered his sister, who experienced the same situation. He recklessly spent the remaining two taels of silver he had and bought this omega without thinking, but he would take responsibility for him since he bought him. For the sake of his reputation, he is willing to marry him, but it seems that this omega did not want to stay here. Taehyung didn't want to force him, so he had made up his mind to let him go. Who knew? He suddenly said he wanted to stay.

Taehyung twisted his eyebrows, "Did you think about it carefully? Do you know what it means to stay with me? "

Of course, Gukk knew that this was an ancient period; once he stayed, he would become his wife.

Then he nodded his head firmly and replied: "I know, and I am willing. I hope Big Brother can keep me. "

Taehyung tightened his lips, looked at Gukk for a moment, and finally nodded after a long while, "You can stay, but as you can see, if you continue to stay here, you will not have a good life, just by looking at my house's condition."

Gukk nodded again, "Thank you, Brother." After speaking, he smiled at Taehyung, "Brother, my name is Gukk. You don't have to be formal with me. But I still don't know what to call Brother in the future. "

Now that he was about to stay, Taehyung's mentality suddenly changed a little, and then looking at Gukk's soft smile, Taehyung acted strangely for a moment, and his voice was a bit tight, "My name is Kim Taehyung." After that, he added the sentence, "The meal is ready. I'll bring it to you." Then he walked limping and hurried out of the room.

Gukk found that Taehyung's leg was limping, and it seemed that he had a problem with his left leg. When he walked, he dragged his left leg behind his right leg. Was his leg injured?

Now that he didn't know what was going on, Gukk put it down. He is much better now, and he didn't feel uncomfortable, unlike the first time he woke up. After Taehyung went out, he got out of bed, put on his shoes, and went out.

When Gukk left the room, he saw the main room. The space was not big. The ground was filled with soil. There was a table in the middle, which was probably used for eating. Some farm tools were placed in the corner of the house.

A separate cabin was built against the wall outside the back door, with a tall chimney standing upright, which should be the kitchen.

Gukk walked to the kitchen and happened to meet Taehyung, who came out with his rice bowl. But Taehyung frowned, "Why did you come out? I'll bring the food for you. "

Gukk shook his head quickly, "You don't have to do that. I'm fine now. I don't need to eat in bed. I'll just eat with you. " Gukk said as he was about to pick up the bowls and chopsticks from Taehyung.

Taehyung avoided Gukk's hand and walked to the table, "I'll hold it. You can sit down and take a good rest. "

After putting down things, he walked to the door of the hall and shouted to the courtyard: "Little Jae, come in for dinner."

As soon as the voice fell, Gukk heard thumping footsteps, and the next second, a little bean came in.

The little boy looked like he was three or four years old. He is wearing linen clothes with patches on his clothes. The sleeves and trouser legs are a lot short, which is very unfit. The small body is skinny, as if it was just skin and bones. Looking at him made people pity him. Only those big black and white round eyes will make people think it was quite lovely.

Gukk was observing the little bean, and Jaehoon also saw Gukk. The running footsteps started to go slow, a trace of tension flashed in his eyes, his hands subconsciously grabbed the legs of the trousers on both sides and looked at his father timidly.

Taehyung waved to him, "Little Jae, come over for dinner."

Hearing Taehyung's call, Jae slowly moved and came to the table, but he did not dare to stay beside Gukk. He ran to the opposite side of Gukk.

Taehyung looked at Gukk and introduced: "Gukk, this is Little Jae, this is my son. His mother passed away when she gave birth to him. " Then he patted Jae on the head and pointed to Gukk and said to him: "Little Jae, this is." At this point, he suddenly got stuck, and he didn't know what Jae would call Gukk.

Gukk calmly looked at Jae, who had some nervousness flashing through his eyes. Gukk looked at Taehyung's puzzled look. He smiled slightly and took the initiative, "Just call me Aunt Gukk for the time being. If Little Jae wants to change it in the future, then he can change it, as long as he's happy. "

With Gukk's words, Taehyung breathed a sigh of relief, and followed Gukk's words, and looked at Jae again: "Little Jae You can call him Aunt Gukk. " Jae looked at Gukk's eyes timidly. With a glance, he lowered his gaze quickly, put his little hands together, and twisted them, and after a long while, he softly called "Aunt Gukk."

Gukk also responded simply.

...**********...

...TBC...

(A/n: I don't know if you will like it or not! Still trying to come up with a good plot to entertain you. If you have any questions, you can reach me through comments. And before skipping the story, tell me your point of view about this plot.)

The family of three had lunch together. It was said that it was lunch. In fact, it was just a pot of water and whole-grain porridge, with more water and less rice, with some dried yam, and the side dish was a plate of pickled vegetables.

Gukk couldn't swallow it. He could clearly feel the sensation of thick stubble scratching his throat. The snow vegetable was also a ball of pickles; she could only swallow it slowly without any oil.

Gukk looked at Taehyung, who was sitting next to him. Taehyung ate quickly. As if he was eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea. Even the little bun on the opposite side took his own spoon, scooping the porridge one by one, carefully and conscientiously. Little Jae chewed and swallowed the food, eating very seriously, seemingly satisfied.

It seems that this family is indeed poor. With their situation, Taehyung could still spend two taels of silver to buy him. Maybe the two taels of silver were the only money they had. If he didn't transmigrate to this body and the original owner left, Taehyung's loss would be a lot.

Gukk didn't eat the tasteless porridge. First, he couldn't eat it, and second, he had no appetite.

Taehyung saw that he didn't eat much. He frowned, "You don't want to eat it? There is still in the pot. "

Little Jae also looked over curiously because of this.

Gukk shook his head, "I'm full. You should continue to eat. "

Taehyung glanced at Gukk for a moment, nodded, and continued to eat.

Watching his father continue eating, Little Jae lowered his head and picked up the small spoon to scoop it up.

Lunch was finished quickly. Gukk thought that he would live in this family, and he had to integrate into this family, and he stood up and picked up the dishes.

Taehyung stopped him, "You are still sick. Go back and lie down and take a rest. I'll take care of it. "

Gukk shook his head and continued to clean up, "I am almost fine now, and I don't feel any discomfort. I can do these tasks. Let me clean it up. "

Seeing his resolutely, Taehyung no longer stopped him, but he didn't feel at ease. Taehyung followed Gukk into the kitchen.

This is the first time Gukk has seen such a kitchen. The kitchen is not big. A large stove platform is built against a wall. There are two large pots on the stove and tiny pots in the middle. There are many branches, firewood, and hay on the stovetop, which should be used to burn the fire.

Next to the stove, a wooden cabinet was so dark that the original color could not be seen. One foot was gone, and it was padded with stones. Next to the cabinet is a large tank of water.

Gukk understood the things in the kitchen roughly. He put the bowls and chopsticks in his hands into the pot. Gukk picked up the water scoop made of the gourd on the tank's lid, scooped out water from the water tank, put it in the pot, and then placed it back on the lid. Gukk found a rag on the top of the lid and brushed up the bowl.

Although Gukk didn't do much housework in his previous life, and everything was done by an aunty, he still knew how to do basic housework, so he knows how to do it.

Seeing him clean up the bowl, although his movements were not swift but looked very serious, Taehyung was relieved.

‘When I bought him before, I heard the trader roughly say that his background was a big maid from a great family, and a big maid from a big family in the city, knowing that he was more stylish than the Omega’s in the town, and he was raised in a good environment. The daughter-in-law in the village is very different, so he had already prepared that he would not do anything. Now it seems that it is better than he thought. At least he's willing to do something.’

Seeing that there was no problem on his side, Taehyung picked up the pole and the bucket, "I'll go to the village to pick up some water, and I'll be back in a while."

Gukk nodded, but looking at his back carrying the bucket away, he felt a little confused. His legs are so stiff. Can he really come back with two buckets of water? Will it be unstable and fall?

But after thinking about it, he had also picked up the water for the water tank before. It was not the first time that he picked up water. It should be no problem, so Gukk relaxed and washed the dishes carefully.

After washing the dishes and chopsticks, Gukk put the dishes in the upper layer of the cabinet next to them. There were only a few scattered plates inside, and there were only three bowls, all of which had gaps, and none of them were complete.

Gukk sighed. There really isn't a good thing in this home. ‘If you change it, you have to change everything. It's all about money. For the current economic level of this family, that's a luxury thing.’

Gukk opened the door under the cabinet again. There were only two cloth bags inside. One was filled with a small half bag of brown rice. The other was only had little flour. I don't know if it's enough for half a month.

When the kitchen was about to be cleaned up, Taehyung came back with two buckets of water. Gukk saw clearly how Taehyung was carrying water. His leg was limping, and his body was indeed a bit unstable, but he tried to stabilize his upper body. To make the bucket less shaking, so every step he took, not much water was spilled. When he reached the kitchen, there were half of the buckets left in each bucket. All of which is poured into the water tank and makes the water tank full.

Taehyung wiped the sweat from his forehead, watched the kitchen had been cleaned, and let Gukk come back to the room to rest, "It's okay, you can go back to the room and rest."

Gukk couldn't find anything else to do, he nods at him, "Okay, then I'll go back to my room." After thinking about it, he glanced at Taehyung, "Then what about you?"

"I'm going to hoe the weeds in the field now and come back in the evening。"

Gukk thought of the little bun again and went into the hall, but he didn't see anyone and asked Taehyung: "Where's Little Jae?"

Taehyung didn't care. "He went out to play, don't worry about it. He will come back when he's tired. You go and rest now. "

Gukk was a little worried. The little bean ran outside but remembered that this was in ancient times. It seems that the children in the village are like this. Looking at Taehyung, who didn't care, he pursed his lips, no longer said anything and entered the room.

Gukk lay down on the bed, still unable to sleep, staring at the thatch roof above his head.

He didn't know why such a bizarre thing happened to him. He used to think that such a thing would only exist in novels. He didn't expect it to happen to himself, but no matter what, he was given a chance to live again. He should cherish it and live well with this new life.

This is an ancient period. It is unrealistic on your own. All Gukk could do was stay here, have a reasonable identity, and then think of ways to improve his family's conditions.

As for Taehyung, he has no way to choose, but according to his current attitude, he is not bad at all. If he continues to be good, he can cultivate their feelings and become a real couple.

In his previous life, he was devoted to work and unintentionally didn't marry. When he was in his thirties, he wanted to have a family, but he didn't find a suitable partner. Sometimes he was too tired and wanted someone to lean on him but couldn't do it. In the end, he didn't even know what he was desperate for, but life pushed him to rush forward desperately, and he wasn't able to stop. Gukk didn't expect God to stop him in this way.

Maybe, if he changed his lifestyle, he wouldn't have to feel so much pressure, he wouldn't have to fight everything alone, and he would have a partner who shelters him from the wind and rain and a cute little child by his side. That would be an ideal life to live.

Thinking about it this way, he felt it wasn't as bad as he thought it would be.

At that moment, he heard a rustling sound in his ears. Gukk looked at the door and saw a small figure half-hidden outside, only showing his little head. Seeing Gukk looked over, he quickly turned and hide.

Gukk smiled, knowing that Little Jae was still there, and he whispered: "Is it Little Jae? Come inside. "

After speaking, there was no movement from the door.

Gukk waited patiently. After a while, the little head was exposed a little bit, looking at Gukk on the bed with timidity, curiosity, and desire in his eyes.

Gukk smiled more gently, invited him, "Little Jae, Is it okay to come over and see Aunt Gukk?"

Everyone who knew him in his previous life regarded him as a fierce Omega. In fact, few people knew that he actually liked children very much. Every time he sees a baby held by someone, he would look at it secretly. He wanted to kiss and hug each little baby, but unfortunately, he had never had a chance to have a baby of his own.

Seeing Little Jae now, he actually likes him very much. Although he is not his own child, he will regard him as his own child from now on. Gukk didn't mind the issue of whether he was his biological mother or not. As long as he is diligent, the child will know that he is good to him and will give the same response.

Under Gukk's patient persuasion, the little bun finally moved out slowly, slowly approaching Gukk with his small steps, and finally walked to the bed, twisted his tiny hand, and looked at him with his big black and white eyes.

Gukk was enamored by his cute eyes and asked him softly, "Little Jae, how about Aunt Gukk take you to bed? Is it okay? "

The little guy looked at Gukk blankly without speaking.

Gukk asked again, and after a long time, the little guy nodded gently.

Gukk hurriedly sat up, stretched out his hands, and hugged the little bun beside the bed. Although his body was very stiff when he hugged him, he did not struggle and obediently let Gukk embrace him.

Gukk took off his shoes, took off his outer clothes, stuffed him into the quilt, and laid down with the little bun. He was very close to him.

Gukk could feel that Little Jae wanted to approach him but didn't dare to approach him. He was not in a hurry and started talking to him, "Little Jae, how old are you this year?"

Little Jae was a little nervous and stretched out his hands and showed his four fingers; with his milky voice, he said, "Four years old."

Gukk smiled and praised him, "Little Bun is so powerful. He knows that this is four. You are awesome! "

The little guy was so shy when he was praised and completely forgot the tension. His eyes narrowed, and he stretched out a small palm to cover his mouth and smiled secretly under his palm.

Gukk was softened by his small movements. He held one of his hands and made his voice softer. "What did Little Jae play outside?"

Little Jae answered quickly, "I was looking at the little ants who were moving things. The little ant is small, and the thing they were carrying is big!. "

"Oh, isn't it? The little ant is so powerful. " Gukk responded to his words and moved closer to him, holding his small body and gently stroking his back.

Little Jae answered quickly this time, "The little ants are small! but powerful! "

Gukk watched him speak and couldn't help but sigh secretly. This child is really good.

Under Gukk's touch, Little Jae fell asleep while talking.

Gukk looked at him, carefully hugged him in his arms, and soon fell asleep with the little bun.

...********** ...

...TBC ...

(A/n: Next update is coming soon. Hope you like the story.)

When Taehyung came back, the house was quiet. He put down his hoe and looked back and forth. He didn't see anyone. When he finally walked into the room, he saw a sweet scene of Little Jae and Gukk sleeping together.

Taehyung stared at the two people embracing each other. He was in a daze, and his heart was a bit touched as if he felt for the first time what it felt like to have a wife and child at home.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with marrying and having a wife.

Without disturbing the two people who were sleeping, Taehyung quietly came out of the room and went to the kitchen. He started to prepare their dinner.

When Gukk woke up, he saw the little boy in his arms looking at him with his big black and white eyes, without speaking.

Gukk smiled and gently pressed a kiss on Little Jae's forehead, "Little Jae is already awake?"

Little Jae did not expect to be kissed, so he immediately felt shy and stretched out two small hands to cover his little face.

Gukk was amused by his little reaction. He kissed him again and then hugged him, "Little Jae, it seems that it was already late. We need to get up and see if your father comes back. "

Little Jae slowly lowered the hands covering his face, nodded, and got up immediately. He picked up the little clothes placed on the bedside and put them on himself.

Gukk found that the child was very sensible. At a young age, he would eat by himself and put on his own clothes. Could it be that the children of this period learned to be independent?

Gukk dressed properly, took Little Jae off the bed, helped him put on his little shoes, and led him out of the room.

Hearing a movement coming from the kitchen, Gukk led Little Jae to the kitchen door and saw Taehyung sitting behind the stove, burning some wood to make a fire.

"Brother Taehyung, are you back?"

Taehyung nodded when he saw them, "Wait a little longer, and the rice will be ready soon." Gukk was a little embarrassed for a while, and he had to cook after working in the day, and all he did was sleep at home, just like a rice bug. This action should not be seen by the villagers, right? In the future, this can't be done again.

But when he saw the burning stove, Gukk remembered that he didn't know how to light such a stove. Even if he was to cook, he didn't know if he could do it.

Gukk felt that the first thing he had to do was learn how to make a fire.

Even before Gukk could see how to burn a fire, the dinner was ready. It was the same as the one they ate at noon, except that it was thicker.

Gukk didn't eat much at noon. The original body was hungry for several meals. At this time, he felt very hungry. So when he was eating, even though it was still difficult to swallow, Gukk tried to eat it.

Halfway through the meal, someone came inside the house.

Little Jae first saw the people coming in and shouted: "Grandma."

Gukk and Taehyung only saw the people coming.

The visitor was an old omega who looked like she was in her 50s. She was thin, with a slightly curved back, rough and caramel skin, most of her hair was gray, and her clothes were shabby. She looked like a person who had been tired for years.

It turned out that this was Taehyung's mother and Little Jae's grandmother.

Seeing his mother, Taehyung quickly got up and welcomed Mother Kim in. He made her sit in a chair, "Mother, we are eating. I will serve you a bowl. "

Then he went to the kitchen.

Mother Kim hurriedly held her son, who was going to the kitchen, "You don't need to. I have already eaten. You guys eat it quickly. "

"Mother, have you really eaten?"

Mother Kim nodded, "Yes, hurry now and eat."

Taehyung nodded and sat down to continue eating.

Mother Kim glanced at Gukk a lot since she came in, knowing that this daughter-in-law bought it by her son with his money. People in the village were talking about how his second son bought a wife at a high price. Her eldest daughter-in-law also said it to her at home. She didn't believe it at first. Seeing Gukk, she had no choice but to believe it.

Mother Kim cleared her throat and asked Taehyung, "Taehyung, is this the wife you bought yesterday?"

Taehyung glanced at Gukk, saw his head bowed down to eat. He nodded and answered his mother, "Mother, his name is Gukk."

Mother Kim glanced at Gukk again, secretly saying inwardly that ‘she had never seen a beautiful young omega like this in her long years of living, but he just looked good, and beauty can't feed you. Look at that weak and delicate look. He looks like he can't lift heavy things. Well, besides, he was bought for two taels of silver. If you add a little more, you can buy a cow.’

She couldn't help but complain that her second son didn't know how to discuss with her first before buying him.

Mother Kim wanted to say a few words about Taehyung, but it was useless since he had already bought him and she couldn't say it in front of Gukk. She swallowed her words again and remembered the eldest son's wife. The purpose of dropping by here. She didn't know how to speak for a while。

Seeing Mother Kim sitting there without speaking, the atmosphere was a bit awkward for a while. Taehyung took the initiative to speak, "Mother, what did you come here for today?"

Seeing Taehyung taking the initiative to speak, Mother Kim was relieved and answered Taehyung's questions: "Well, Taehyung, it's like this."

Her expression was a bit stiff, and she glanced at Gukk, who was sitting down and eating seriously. She bit the bullet and said, "Your Eldest Brother's son will be here soon. Your elder brother is in a difficult situation and wants to ask if you have any money in your hand to give to your nephew. "

Mother Kim said, lowering her eyes, not daring to look at the eyes of her second son.

In fact, it was her daughter-in-law who heard that her second son spent two taels of silver on buying a wife. She thought that the second son had hidden a lot of money, so she regretted that she didn't ask for more money the last time, and now she let her come here and ask for more money.

Taehyung's voice was a little heavy, "Mother, I have already paid for the support for my older brother and sister-in-law."

Mother Kim was a bit silly, rubbing her hands, "Taehyung, you have not been at home for so many years. If it weren't for your older brother and sister-in-law to raise Little Jae, Little Jae wouldn't have survived either. You should thank your older brother and sister-in-law for taking care of Little Jae for many years you are gone. "

Taehyung remembered that when he came back, he saw his son's skinny look, but his elder brother's son, Kim Mingyu, was fat and white, and his son was only wearing shabby clothes that could not be seen decent clothes. Standing on the ground, the rice bowl lay heavily on the table with a loud noise. His eyes sank suddenly, his lips tightened, his aura suddenly became a bit terrifying, and the scared Little Jae didn't dare to eat anymore. He glanced at Taehyung, then looked at Gukk timidly. His eyes seemed to be seeking shelter.

Gukk hurriedly took Little Jae over and sat in his arms, patting his little back.

Seeing Little Jae seemed to be a little afraid. Taehyung restrained his emotions, his expression improved. He looked at his shivering mother, his eyes were a bit complicated, and his voice was a bit difficult, "Mother, my disability allowance totals 15 taels of silver. I have already given 8 taels to my eldest brother and sister-in-law. I didn't get anything when I came back. I still spent two acres of land on buying this house. The remaining money was used to buy Gukk. The money on hand has long been gone. "

Mother Kim was a bit uncomfortable being told by Taehyung, and she didn't feel guilty in her heart.

In the past, the family needed to send a soldier to serve the country. Otherwise, they would have to pay 50 taels of silver. Their family couldn't afford to pay 50 taels, so they pushed the Taehyung to enlist. Now that Taehyung was crippled when he came back from the battlefield, he had to take Little Jae out to live by themselves and separate from them. As a mother, she knew that she should be sorry for her second son, but she couldn't help him. Now the eldest son is in charge of the family, and she has to rely on the eldest son and let him support her.

Mother Kim thought of this and couldn't stay any longer, so she stood up awkwardly, "Okay, mother knows, Mother is going now."

Mother Kim went out quickly, Taehyung did not send her away, but the atmosphere after that was low.

Gukk heard a little bit. Taehyung should have gone out to serve as a soldier for many years, but now he is returning home. His older brother and sister-in-law asked him for money.

For the rest of the story, Gukk doesn't know. He could figure it out later if he had a chance.

After the family had dinner in silence, Gukk cleaned up the dishes and took them to the kitchen to wash.

After cleaning up, the night was approaching, the surrounding started to get dark.

Taehyung boiled hot water for them to use.

In fact, Gukk was feeling uncomfortable. He wanted to take a good bath. Looking at Taehyung, who was sitting under the stove boiling water, Gukk said, "Brother Taehyung, I want to take a bath."

Taehyung paused and thought of his home. There is no bathtub, only a small basin for washing his face and a footbath. He usually takes a bath directly with cold water and does not need a bathtub.

Taehyung hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't have a bathtub at home, so I can only wipe it with the washbasin first." But he secretly remembered that a bathtub must be made.

Gukk nodded. Wiping with water is better than not washing.

After the water started boiling, Taehyung filled the wooden barrel with hot water and brought it to Gukk's room. Then he gave him the basin to wash. After thinking about it, he found a good linen cloth and handed it to Gukk as a towel. Finally, he found one of his best clothes for Gukk to change and wash temporarily.

"Thank you, Brother Taehyung." Gukk truly appreciated his thoughtfulness.

Taehyung didn't say anything, nodded, walked out of the room, and closed the door as he went out.

Gukk took off his clothes and washed his body with a linen cloth dipped in the basin's hot water. When the water started to get cold, he added some hot water.

Finally, after washing, he feels refreshed.

Gukk put on Taehyung's clothes. Although there were patches on them, they were not as many as what he wore. Gukk doesn't dislike it. Some of them are good, but for him, the clothes are a bit too big. When he wore it, it was too big for him. Gukk thought for a while. He tore off a piece of cloth from the old clothes, turned it to a belt, and tied it tightly around his waist...

Gukk opened the door of the room and saw Taehyung making up something in the moonlight. Hearing the sound, he looked up.

Gukk smiled embarrassedly, "Brother Taehyung, I am done. I'll pour the basin."

Taehyung nodded, put down the things in his hands, walked into the room, and was about to take out the basin.

Gukk was surprised and quickly stopped him, "Brother Taehyung, no, I will do it myself."

Taehyung easily avoided Gukk and continued walking outside, "It's heavy, I'll do it."

Gukk pursed his lips, a little ashamed. This was the first time someone helped him pour the bathwater.
