S1, Chapter 7 (Can't Hurt Little Jae)

The body's original owner kept a tiny jade pendant tied with a rope hidden in his chest. When the trader searched if he had any belongings in him, it was not found.

This pendant was rewarded by the lady who he was serving before. The jade he possessed is of excellent quality and should be sold for a lot of money.

Although this was the only thing left by the original owner, it is not good to be pawned. Still, they don't have any choice. He can only pawn it first and then redeem it when he has money.

Gukk took out the pendant and showed it to Taehyung, "Brother Taehyung, I have a pendant here. Let's go to the pawnshop, and we should exchange for a large sum of money. "

Taehyung immediately shook his head and refused, "No, this belongs to you. You should keep it. Let's just go back. There is no need to pawn it. "

Gukk insisted, "Your legs will be more damaged when we go back like this. Besides, this is not the only problem. The rice at home is almost gone. If you don't buy some, what are we going to eat? If Little Jae eats porridge every day, how can he grow up well? "

Taehyung's face was a bit ugly, but he had to admit that Gukk was right.

At this moment, he deeply realized his incompetence.

Seeing the frustration in Taehyung's eyes, Gukk felt a little bit unbearable, and his voice softened, "Brother Taehyung, I am also a member of this family. Is there anything wrong if I contribute to this family? Do you not want me to be part of your family? "

Taehyung looked at Gukk, his clenched fists slowly relaxed, he closed his eyes, and finally nodded in agreement.

When the two came to the pawnshop, Gukk showed the pendant to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper offered them the price of two taels of silver. Although this price is far from its own value, you can't take advantage of its original value in this small town. Gukk still agreed to take pawn it for two taels of silver. At least this money can solve their current problem.

Gukk didn't rush to leave the town with the money they acquired but instead took Taehyung to buy things together.

They first went to a rice shop and bought a bag of brown rice and half a bag of polished rice to be mixed and cooked together.

Remembering that there were no vegetables at home, Gukk went to buy some vegetable seeds and planned to go back to plant some vegetables in the yard.

If you want to cook, you have to buy tea, rice, oil, salt, sauce, and vinegar.

Next, he went to the meat shop, weighed a pound of pork belly, and bought the pork bones sold separately at a very low price.

Finally, Gukk walked into a pastry shop and bought some plum cakes, which he planned to take back some for Little Jae to eat.

When passing a steamed bun shop on the way, Gukk thought for a while and bought two steamed buns and a meat bun.

When he bought everything, it cost Gukk nearly two hundred yuan. Gukk felt the pain.

After he bought everything, they could go home now. Gukk walked to the donkey cart on the side of the road to discuss the driver's price.

Since Gukk didn't know what price was reasonable, he was almost fooled by the coachman. Finally, he relied on Taehyung to negotiate with the coachman.

They agreed to pay 30 yuan for the ride. Gukk put all the things they bought on the donkey cart and then climbed into the donkey cart with Taehyung.

On the way back, Gukk showed Taehyung the rouge gouache he had bought before and told him about his plans.

Taehyung didn't take Gukk's words seriously at first and treated it as Gukk did it out of impulse, thinking that Gukk could use it for himself even if he couldn't make money.

But now, when Gukk talked about her plan, Taehyung looked considerately.

Before Taehyung served as a soldier, he traveled to many places and met many people. He naturally had a broader vision than ordinary villagers. He knew that if Gukk's skills were really that good, the business would be very good.

Before he joined the army, he had seen what bridal makeup looked like. The usual way of dressing up the lady, they always painted the bride with white powder. They couldn't distinguish their original appearance. To be honest, it's more ugly than not.

Suppose Gukk can make the bride look beautiful and also cover the imperfections on the bride's face. In that case, many people will definitely ask Gukk to put on makeup.

Taehyung looked at Gukk and asked with confirmation: "Can you really do it?"

Gukk didn't dare to say otherwise, but he was absolutely sure of his ability and smiled confidently. "Of course I can. I have promised Aunt Park; first, I will give Minhwa a transformation. You can go with me. "

Taehyung nodded and wanted to see if Gukk could do it.

Gukk turned out to show Taehyung the materials he bought. Afraid of being heard by the coachman, he intentionally approached Taehyung's ear and whispered: "This is the special material I want to use, and it can be made through this."

Taehyung was taken aback when he suddenly approached him. Only to smell a sweet fragrance rushing into the tip of his nose, and the heat of talking brushed onto his face, making half of his face hot. It was not until Gukk finished speaking that the heat receded slightly.

This led to Taehyung's distraction on the next journey.

When they got home, they paid the coachman, put the things away, and then went to Aunt Park's house to pick up Little Jae.

When the two left in the morning, they entrusted Little Jae to Park's eldest daughter-in-law.

Gukk picked up two plum cakes and planned to take them to Aunt Park's house as a gift to thank them for taking care of Little Jae.

As soon as the two entered Park's house, a small shell rushed into Gukk's arms.

"Aunt Gukk! Where did you and daddy go? Why did you only come to pick up Little Jae now? " The little milk voice in his arms was pitiful, and Gukk felt guilty.

"Good dear, it's Aunt Gukk and Daddy are not good. I came to pick up Little Jae so late. Aunt Gukk and Daddy will apologize to you. We will not do it next time, okay? " The little man in his arms was coaxed by his words. He laughed and held Gukk's hand happily.

Aunt Park's eldest daughter-in-law, Park Hyunsik, smiled and said, "This little guy has gone outside a lot of times to see if you arrived. In the afternoon, he simply sat at the hall entrance and stared at the door, looking forward to you two returning. "

Gukk also laughed and handed the plum cake to Hyunsik, "Sister Hyunsik, thank you for taking care of Little Jae for a day. This is the plum cake I bought today for your children to try. "

Hyunsik hurriedly refused. "Don't be sorry. It's not a big deal to bring Little Treasure. Don't be polite. "

"Sister Hyunsik, this is for you children. You have to accept it, or I will be embarrassed to ask you for anything in the future. "

Gukk said that Hyunsik accepted it, but Gukk's impression in his heart became very good. This little daughter-in-law not only grows well, but he can also be considerate.

Gukk greeted the others in Park's house again but didn't see Park Minhwa. It should be in the room.

After saying hello, he took the little guy home.

When he got home, Gukk asked Taehyung to sit and rest and then gave the plum cake to the little guy. Seeing that he was eating softly, he went to the kitchen to boil water and planned to soak Taehyung's legs. If nothing's done to ease Taehyung's leg, it will swell more when he gets up in the morning.

Relying on him of how the memory of Taehyung made a fire, Gukk followed his way, first igniting a handful of grass, throwing it under the stove, and then putting the dry branches in to ignite more fire.

The steps were okay, but there was still a problem in the end. He didn't see it; only bursts of smoke came out, instantly making Gukk choke and cough.

Sitting in the room to rest, Taehyung ran into the kitchen quickly, startled by Gukk's movement, and saw thick smoke inside, and Gukk was coughing in the thick smoke.

Taehyung hurriedly went in and pulled Gukk out, then sat near the stove and turned the furnace a few times with a fire stick. After a while, the smoke disappeared, and the fire started.

Gukk, outside the kitchen, was a little ashamed.

Taehyung looked at Gukk, who bowed his head and did not speak, and the corners of his mouth curled slightly, "It's okay, it's because you piled up too much firewood and the fire can't get up. That's why you have to use a fire stick. That's how you do it. "

It turned out like this. Gukk nodded and walked into the kitchen.

"What are you doing with the boiled water?"

Gukk replied truthfully: "I want to boil some hot water to soak your feet and then put them on your legs. Otherwise, it will become more swollen tomorrow. "

Taehyung was stunned. Unexpectedly, Gukk was still worried about his leg. There was a warm current in his heart. There was a smile in his eyes. He just sat and continued to ignite the fire. "I'll do it. I won't be tired if I sit. "

Gukk nodded, "Okay, then I will go scoop for some rice and cook dinner. I'll just steam the buns that I bought today for our dinner. "

Gukk was about to scoop the rice when he suddenly heard the cry of Little Jae in the hall, and he immediately threw down the things in his hand and ran towards the entrance.

In the main room, Little Jae sat on the ground crying sorrowfully, covering his face.

On the side, an omega and two children were turning over what he had bought.

Seeing Gukk, the two children glanced at their mother. Seeing that the mother didn't say anything, they continued what they were doing, holding the plum cakes in their hands and eating them.

The omega's eyes flickered, and then she smiled fakely, "Oh, this is the wife you bought, Taehyung?"

Little Jae saw Gukk coming, and the grievances in his eyes burst out, and he cried. Little Jae stretched and opened his little hands. "Aunt Gukk, that Auntie hit Little Jae. It hurts. "

Gukk's heart pulled up, and he stepped forward and took Little Jae into his arms, looking at his cheek, making sure he was okay. The bright red palm prints were very obvious, and on his thin and small cheeks, people couldn't bear looking at them.

Gukk's eyes sank, and he shot straight at the omega, with suppressed anger in his voice, "Did you beat my child?"

The omega, who was Taehyung's sister-in-law Kim Yunchen, smiled. She didn't care much. "What do you mean by beating the child? It's because the kids were playing together. It was just an accident. "

Gukk smiled angrily. Accidentally?

It's just talking nonsense with your eyes open!

Gukk yelled and asked, "Heh! I didn't know that the child's slap was so big. Which child's hand slapped him? "

Yunchen didn't expect that the cheap omega bought by Taehyung would not give her face. He even dared to talk back. She looked at him and cried out, "Wow, no one cared about Little Jae for so many years. It's me who took care of him. Now you have only been in the house for a few days, and you came to me and got mad at me. Why do I suffer so much? "

After finishing, she stroked her chest with a look of heartache.
