The traditional meeting with the in-laws ended smoothly, but Malhee’s worries deepened.
Although he promised his son-in-law a generous 2 billion won, he heard that the current house might fetch a maximum of around 1 billion won if sold well. Despite visiting several real estate agents, they all gave similar advice.
Sell the house for 1 billion, cancel insurance, savings, and fixed deposits, sell the unused items in the house, and even sell the car, and it might add up to 1.1 billion. How much could they secure with a credit loan? How much had Heeuk earned? How much could Heejin contribute? Would it reach 1.5 billion if they emptied everything? Would it really work?
No matter how much he thought about it, reaching 2 billion seemed impossible. However, lowering the mentioned amount now felt like damaging his pride. In the local community, whether it was 1 billion or 2 billion, they could easily provide it, but they couldn’t say they were struggling to gather 1 or 2 billion. Above all, they hoped their only son could start married life without any problems.
“Should I resort to borrowing money?”
Once the house was handed over to his son, he should be able to repay it afterward.
While contemplating various options, Hyunji approached and asked.
“Mother, what’s on your mind? You look troubled.”
The prospective daughter-in-law, who came to discuss the wedding date, had been smiling all along but observed Malhee closely and frowned. Having grown up without any shortcomings, Hyunji was always clear and bright, respectful to adults, and a clever child who knew how to take care of herself.
“Mother, please tell me. I’m your daughter-in-law now. It makes me feel bad if you’re suffering alone like this.”
Seeing Malhee remain silent, Hyunji encouraged her even more.
Could she tell this child the truth? Would it be less humiliating than talking to this child’s parents?
“Well, you see, I…”
Malhee cautiously began her confession.
Listening to Malhee’s honest story, Hyunji showed a sincere reaction without a hint of mockery or disappointment.
“Oh, I see. You’ve been through such a thing.”
“I… I’m really sorry.”
“No, Mother. I’m fine. If you’re suffering because of that, it must have been painful for you.”
Hyunji understood Malhee with broad-mindedness and firmly held Malhee’s hand.
“I’ll tell Dad about this soon. Don’t worry too much.”
After pouring everything out to Hyunji, Malhee’s eyes welled up with tears. Wiping away her tears, she made a request to Hyunji.
“Yes, thank you. And… don’t mention this to Heeuk yet. If he finds out I had such worries, it’ll be even harder for him.”
“Of course. I’ll keep quiet.”
Hyunji nodded smoothly and lightly tapped her knee, as if something had come to her mind.
“Oh, this might not be a big help, but I just thought it might offer a little assistance. Mother, have you heard of cryptocurrency?”
“Cryptocurrency? Is it something related to karaoke or washing machines?”
“No, it’s not.”
Hyunji smiled as if finding Malhee’s response amusing and reached for Malhee’s phone placed nearby, pressing something firmly. Completely relying on Hyunji now, Malhee shared her bank account number and even handed over her ID, as instructed by Hyunji. After a while, Hyunji extended the phone again. The screen displayed the number ‘1,000,000.’
“Mother, I installed an app for you. I linked it to your account and put in my own million won.”
“What… is this?”
“I created something called a coin wallet. This is a coin that will soon turn into 2 million won. They say it will double in a week and at least eight times in a month.”
Malhee’s eyes widened at Hyunji’s assurance. People these days seemed to earn money in various ways, and now, our prospective daughter-in-law knows how to do this too. It felt like transitioning to a strange world.
“So… this is not some kind of points; it’s real cash, right? Like stocks. Can you really convert 2 million won into real money?
“Yes, it’s similar to stock investment. However, there are no lower or upper limits, so it’s different from stocks. If it hits big, it might be incomparable to stocks.”
“…”
“So, you shouldn’t invest a large amount. It’s safe to make a small investment of about a million won in a stable coin like this, Mother. You can withdraw it to your account anytime.”
“Really, this will turn into 2 million won in a week?”
“Yes, it’s a coin. Still, don’t believe it too much. Just watch.”
Despite Hyunji’s advice, Malhee didn’t hear it well. What was engraved in her mind was the fact that the current one million won would soon become two million won or maybe even four hundred million won someday.
“How do you know about this?”
“My dad does business in Dubai, so he can get this kind of advanced information about that area.”
Since it was information passed on by Hyunji’s businessman father, it felt even more trustworthy. Malhee’s cheekbones became so prominent that they almost covered her eyes.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
