S1, Chapter 3 (Someone helped him)

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.
