Chapter 149

Picked Up on the Way

At the concubine sound that came out from a six-year-old child’s mouth the inside of the house turned upside down.

Even Yu Jong-tae and Taeseong Group security guards who were in the living room came and watched holding breath.

“Haaaa······.”

Only sighs come out.

“What freezing concubine, not such so forget.”

“Can’t forget. To me the husband only one person older brother······ heok!”

The vermilion bird sitting on Yerin’s shoulder spread wings wide and [Cheep cheep!]

Yerin hurriedly blocked the mouth with both hands.

“Heueung, what to do. Said can’t just carelessly say such going around······.”

[Cheep cheep!]

“If consider not heard··· won’t okay? Heueung.”

“Haaaa······.”

Headache.

The head throbs.

Mother smiled awkwardly.

“If making our Jeong-hyeok the husband anyway wouldn’t wife be better than concubine?”

“Heard a tilting scale. Heard older brother too excessive for me to embrace.”

[Cheep cheep!]

Beside Yerin the vermilion bird opened the beak wide and vomited flames whoosh whoosh.

Yerin lowered the head deeply and fiddled fingers.

“Water more than the vessel naturally overflows, treasure fallen in the hands of a powerless person like a disaster.”

“······.”

“Heard because met a precious person with heavenly luck the destiny unraveled well so able to aim even the chaebol house concubine seat. Even with only that overflowing excessive luck to me.”

I ground teeth.

“If keep saying concubine······ such nonsense sound one more time I will really get angry.”

“Then I will go there again? Chased from this house? Ah, shouldn’t······.”

As Yerin stomped feet not knowing what to do, mother quickly recovered the spirit.

“No, Yerin. Who says such sounds? Jeong-hyeok did? Saying chase from this house?”

“······.”

The gaze mother looking at me narrowed.

“Surely the concubine sound also Jeong-hyeok took out? This bastard······!”

“No. That the vermilion bird deity informed.”

“There, Yerin. Don’t know what bad guy said such nonsense to young you······.”

“Not nonsense. I also know my subject well.”

“Yes?”

“I, no parents. An orphan. From young the maternal grandmother raised.”

Mother flustered and couldn’t readily answer.

Yerin spread fingers and counted one by one and said.

“Heard our house a shaman house for generations. In a word the sound not a house that can form political marriage with older brother.”

“Yerin, even just me ordinary······.”

“A shaman house, worse than an ordinary general family house. Because political and business world famous figures came and went until the threshold wore out, wary lest own shame leak.”

“······.”

“I also a shaman. Do exorcism, offer ritual for others and pray for luck and accumulate merit work. Offering money, so do receiving money. So all look down.”

“······.”

“A shaman, the very bottom, so a person who listens to the words of abandoned souls that even beggars don’t look out. A job that listens to people’s complaints and comforts.”

“······.”

“So I more familiar with night than day, shady side than sunny side, misfortune than happiness.”

Yerin smiled powerlessly.

“But Jeong-hyeok older brother a person who will stand in a brighter and higher place than anyone from now on and shoulder to shoulder with famous figures.”

“Yerin.”

“Will discuss the future of the country and companies, grip money and power in one hand, a big figure whose every move national luck and company luck will fluctuate.”

“······.”

“I with many flaws will only become an obstacle not even help. Then shouldn’t.”

Father and mother dropped mouths open and looked at Yerin.

Not remarks a six-year-old child would do.

The vermilion bird was cheeping proudly, but such not even visible to adults’ eyes.

“So how dare I covet older brother’s wife seat? Even concubine excessive.”

“Haaaa······.”

Yerin lowered the head deeply and gripped the shaman robe hem.

“Will live quietly not annoying as if there or not stuck in Samcheong-dong lifelong. Absolutely won’t cause trouble to older brother.”

“······.”

“Will effort not to become a bad concubine who is jealous of older brother’s legal wife and fights and causes discord. Firmly determined.”

“······.”

“So please don’t say even concubine not okay and get out.”

“······.”

“Will straighten body posture mind posture and offer ritual for older brother lifelong and accumulate merit. Still not okay?”

Adults were dumbfounded.

Mother, father, grandmother Ok-bun and helper aunts of course even Yu Jong-tae and Taeseong Group security guards.

“Haaaa······.”

I ended up covering the eyes with both hands.

How on earth to clean this up······.

Yu Jong-tae raised a thumb.

“As expected our Young Master! Different from the sprout!”

Taeseong Group security guards also nodded heads like a broken car doll madly.

“Uwa, really amazing! This not a proposal?”

“When I was eight years old cursed saying will kill if girls come close!”

“A woman aiming for the concubine seat from already!”

“People’s eyes all the same? Even to children’s eyes our Young Master looks cool!”

Father scratched the temples.

“Yerin, how old did you say now?”

“One, two······.”

“Six years old.”

Because counting fingers again I intercepted the answer first.

“Yes, six years old. Seems still quite young to discuss the concubine seat.”

Mother also quickly recovered the expression.

“Yes, Yerin. And as far as I experienced our family not a family that picks and receives people calculating conditions background so.”

“Mother sat in that seat thanks to the child. Different case from me.”

“Yes?”

“No confidence to give birth to a precious son as much as older brother.”

“······.”

“Then will receive the offering money as reserving the concubine seat, and look at mother father’s this year’s luck.”

This kid secretly driving a wedge?

The vermilion bird enlarged the body and strongly raised flames.

Yerin half closed the eyes and began to count finger joints.

“The problem mother is boiling the inside now. Will solve refreshingly within a few days. The important seat that was empty empty will fill tightly with people who help mother and father.”

“Oh my!”

“Called from a far warm place. A glorious promotion blessed with glory and luck. No better connection than this.”

“Oh my······! If only so good!”

Mother’s eyes sparkled.

“Let’s see······. Mother will soon be able to connect the connection with the maternal family again.”

“Oh my!”

Mother covered the mouth with a hand.

Father was a doubtful expression, but because mother concentrating too much didn’t say other words.

“Father will be beaten quite a lot. Still close eyes tightly and get hit as hit. Have to so to untie the twisted connection.”

“Twisted connection?”

The indifferent father flinched.

“A matter of untangling the connection that completely turned away again. Won’t be easy.”

“Prepared.”

“No need for other things, put older brother forward and bend and enter enough. What use having a well-born son. See the virtue at this time.”

“Can’t so. No thought of putting the only son forward as a shield.”

Yerin didn’t add this or that and just smiled gently.

Raised a hand and pointed the direction in the air.

“More hidden land than the land held now. A lot in the south including Busan. Even more in Japan. Holding enormously a lot selecting only golden land.”

Mother and father looked at each other.

“That will all become Jeong-hyeok older brother’s share.”

“No, no way.”

Mother shook the head.

“Our house has a bit of land because farming but that’s all. Moreover I also have a younger sibling······.”

“If asking the maternal grandfather will know.”

Yerin smiled gently.

“Because a foundation that will become a large strength to older brother don’t forget. Don’t regret hitting the ground later.”

As father tried to open the mouth something, Yerin completely closed the eyes and turned the head.

“Father, hope Jeong-hyeok older brother’s younger sibling a girl?”

“······!”

“I will offer hundred-day ritual from today. Then will come looking before long.”

“What?”

Father tried to close the mouth that was trying to open wide.

The crumpled brows straightened, the indifferent expression erased instantly.

Father stuck the body tightly to the table and pricked ears.

“If before long··· about when?”

“Let’s see. If the most auspicious month returning after finishing the hundred-day ritual······.”

Yerin carefully counted finger joints.

“Around Chuseok probably can hear good news.”

“Oh!”

Father smiled widely and greatly rejoiced.

Father urgently rummaged the pocket and took out the wallet.

Even gave the wallet itself in Yerin’s hand.

“Offering money. If insufficient say more. Ritual? That also claim as much as need.”

“No. If only permit me the older brother’s concubine seat enough.”

“Will it work with the concubine seat? Yerin, have dreams largely.”

“So aiming for the concubine seat ambitiously? Don’t want to become a seasonal mistress or one-night partner.”

“······.”

A strangely realistic ambition.

Yu Jong-tae raised a thumb and stuck out the tongue.

“With this level a match made in heaven? Is this words a six-year-old child would do.”

Yes, that not.

Now the vermilion bird is chattering through Yerin’s mouth.

Yu Jong-tae smiled slyly.

“As expected our Young Master’s pair! Different from the sprout!”

Grandmother Ok-bun lamented low.

“Even an eight-year-old Jeong-hyeok a woman attaches, when on earth our Cheol-gu······ erai!”

“Wait a moment.”

Yerin half opened the closed eyes and looked back at grandmother Ok-bun.

“Misfortune struck the son.”

“Me? Our son? Cheol-gu?”

Grandmother Ok-bun pointed at herself with the ladle held.

Yerin nodded.

“If don’t want to be discovered as an unnatural death soon have to enter under this house’s eaves right now and avoid the pouring shower.”

“Un, unnatural death?”

“Because got caught in the whale fight and the shrimp back burst.”

At the sound of whale fight there was something pointed.

‘The U-gwang union protest quieted, the criticism toward U-gwang subsided, so about time to move slowly.’

Uncle Cheol-gu bought resentment because of the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger.

Because of that the inspection bureau director and senior agents were cut, and the central intelligence director’s bribe corruption also revealed.

Grandmother Ok-bun tilted the head.

“Our child not a child who goes around getting beaten······.”

“Bad connection and grudge entangled at the workplace. The poison arrow already determined and shot once, can luckily avoid even the third?”

At the words third grandmother Ok-bun was shocked.

“Third?”

“The son luckily saved life twice thanks to the precious person.”

“Jeong-hyeok saved when almost died dragged to the Seobinggo water torture room······.”

“One more. Passed one more death crisis in this house.”

This answer Yu Jong-tae intercepted.

“Correct. Some guys crossed the wall at night, brought as many as two guns. Just then security strengthened by the Young Master’s request so avoided the disaster.”

“Such a matter to our Cheol-gu! I not even knowing such!”

“Without older brother’s help hard to avoid this death luck. Because an upper line that can’t handle moved directly.”

There was something guessed.

‘Seems the central intelligence director and U-gwang chairman determined and stepped forward.’

Yerin looked back at me.

“Older brother, how about sending far across the sea considering saving a dying person once and entrusting older brother’s work?”

No, how knew?

‘Koreagate. Was pointing Uncle Cheol-gu as the right person to take charge and solve that.’

Anyway was thinking of sending a note to U-gwang Chairman Kim Dae-sik through President Shim.

Along the way also making performance for Uncle Cheol-gu.

“A person who will call great luck if together with older brother. Ability also outstanding more than thought, virtue also follows.”

Right words.

I already saw the virtue of the U-gwang Construction bribe ledger Uncle Cheol-gu had thoroughly.

“If properly supporting fire from afar a connection that will repay older brother more than expected.”

“Not the time for me to do this here! Aigo, Cheol-gu!”

Grandmother Ok-bun ran to the living room where the phone is.

Before long the helper aunt and Taeseong Group security guards each held offering money in hand and stood in a long line.

“Don’t push there!”

“Hey, newbie. No yielding to the heaven-like senior?”

“Where senior junior in seeing fortune? No mercy!”

Whoosh.

Then as the front door opened a bear-like large body entered with a whoosh.

“Hey, Taeseong Group security guards. Why the door lock like this? The main gate and front door were wide open?”

Uncle Cheol-gu laughed heartily and put a hand on the waist.

Above Uncle Cheol-gu’s head the underworld countdown [3 days] was sparkling.

“Madam Kang, work time long passed. Shall we date with the son after a long time?”

“Aigo, Cheol-gu! You came just well!”

“What’s the matter? Didn’t know our Madam Kang would welcome me so? Indeed!”

Uncle Cheol-gu smiled innocently and held out a black plastic bag with a whoosh.

“You like such? Picked up on the way.”

It was silver pills and puffed rice.

Yerin smiled brightly.

“Then will settle grandmother’s offering money with this.”

For a shaman who just opened the kidney business the offering money recovery very certain.

A desirable attitude.

Yerin held out the silver pills and puffed rice snatched from Uncle Cheol-gu to me with a whoosh.

“Picked up on the way. Hehehe.”
