Charzo retrieved the food items from the fridge, discovering that it was mostly empty.
"It looks like I need to go shopping again, but... with whose money? Mine? That's impossible, I'm already working like a servant, so it's not right to spend my own money to feed them," Charzo said.
Charzo left the kitchen and knocked on his mother-in-law's door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
"Who is it?" asked Lena.
"It's me, your son-in-law," replied Charzo.
Click!
The door opened.
"What do you want?" Lena asked with a disdainful look.
"The fridge is empty, there's nothing to cook," said Charzo. Lena frowned, puzzled by Charzo's behavior, which was unlike him.
"So?" Lena raised her eyebrows.
"I don't have money for shopping, so I came to ask for some so that I can buy groceries," Charzo explained.
Normally, Charzo wouldn't talk about kitchen supplies, as his focus was solely on cooking and other household chores; shopping was usually the domain of Carry and Carin because they enjoyed it.
"What's gotten into you? It's unusual for you to want to do the shopping?" Lena asked, suspicious.
"I'm confident I can make delicious food, but I've never done the shopping myself to prepare the meals I want to create. So let me shop and cook something different," Charzo insisted.
Lena looked at Charzo with a sullen expression and then handed him 200,000 for groceries.
"This should be enough to refill the fridge," Lena said as she tossed the money to the floor. Typically, Lena would give Carry and Carin about 5 million for shopping, and, of course, the money from their respective husbands remained intact and neatly stored in the ATM.
Charzo picked up the money with a smile and left the house.
"Ha-ha-ha, now I can be free, so by doing the shopping myself, I can do what I want," Charzo said happily.
Charzo headed to the market to look for vegetables and meat.
"Next time, I'll do the shopping, so Carry and Carin won't get any more pocket money," Charzo said smilingly.

"Hm? Where's the theft?" Charzo wondered.
Whoosh...
A man sped past Charzo quickly, followed by a market woman chasing him.
"Thief! Thief! Catch that thief!" the woman shouted.
"Huh? So he's the thief," remarked Charzo, who immediately set off in pursuit.
"Hey Thief! Return what you've stolen!" Charzo yelled, continuing the chase, while the market woman gave up, unable to keep running and opting to stop.
The thief kept running, daringly dashing through the busy street amidst the traffic.
Charzo refused to be outdone; with his agility, he ran and even hopped over cars like an action movie hero, relentlessly pursuing the thief, while the latter nearly got hit, luckily the car drivers stopped just in time.
"Hey jerk! If you want to die, don't do it in the street! If you're going to die, don't make it other people's problem!" a driver yelled out, extremely irritated.
