Jae-ik, prosecuted for murder, coercion, and a total of 13 charges, was convicted on all counts and sentenced to imprisonment.
Jae-ik, who received an unfair imprisonment sentence, immediately appealed, but the second-instance court rejected the appeal, blaming the trial court instead of showing remorse.
Hannah, who assisted in Jae-ik’s crime of attempting to murder Hyo-jin, avoided criminal punishment. This was due to the special provision for relatives, which prevents prosecution for aiding a crime among family members.
Seizing the hidden assets of Kang Jae-ik and Isabel in a civil lawsuit, Gyo-hwan planned to recover every penny from Jae-ik that his grandfather had received.
The court ordered Jae-ik to pay 850 million won to each bereaved family member who had suffered prolonged mental pain and sorrow due to Jae-ik’s crimes.
Sun-hye and Yong-hoon, after successfully completing the correction in the juvenile court with the compensation money paid by Jae-ik, donated the entire amount for children without homes to return to.
They couldn’t bring themselves to use the money received after losing their child for their own well-being.
Buying a house and spending their old age there wouldn’t make it comfortable, and buying delicious food to eat wouldn’t make it palatable. It was money received after losing a child.
Preferring to be born into this world, they gathered to honor the deaths of their own children by first donating for children born without caring parents.
Early in the morning.
Hyo-jin, panting with breath, shouted to Gyo-hwan and Seung-yul, who followed behind her on the forest path covered with dense fallen leaves.
“Father, we’re here.”
Gyo-hwan spread out a mat in front of the pine tree where Hyo-jin’s parents were buried, and Seung-yul, who came prepared, set up the memorial food carefully.
“Grandfather, grandmother. Please try this. I asked grandma about the food you like, and Dad and I made it ourselves.”
Pork belly boiled with ginger, garlic, onions, and leeks, pickled cabbage. Crispy radish strips and a refreshing seaweed soup with floating ice.
Seung-yul, who carefully poured makgeolli into a wooden cup that Gyo-hwan handed him, raised his hands in a polite bow and stood up.
It was the first meeting to greet Hyo-jin’s parents, so he wore a suit and even tied a tie.
“Grandfather, grandmother. Hello. My name is Choi Seung-yul, and I’m now in the third grade, turning ten.”
Even the birds chirping around stopped singing and listened to his clear voice tinged with laughter.
“I don’t remember being in my mom’s belly, but thanks to grandfather saving my mom, I could be born healthy like this. Thank you very much. I will repay Mom’s love that Grandfather bestowed on me and make sure to be filial to my mother! Please watch over us to see if we’re practicing well from heaven!”
Hyo-jin, who had been watching the scene with a pleased expression, raised her eyebrows as if waking up.
“Son, why do you keep calling me mother?”
Feeling a distance.
“Father, you also call grandma mother, don’t you?”
“Didn’t I tell you not to call me father?”
This time, Gyo-hwan, who is Seung-yul’s father, raised his eyebrows and responded sharply.
He already looked like an old man.
Seung-yul, who began learning honorifics in the third grade, kept calling Gyo-hwan and Hyo-jin father and mother, confusing them.
Even though he said he could call them that when he became an adult and got married later.
“Don’t you greet grandfather?”
Gyo-hwan, in response to Seung-yul’s banter, scattered the remaining makgeolli around the pine tree, knelt down, and sat.
“Father. I’m really sorry for misunderstanding all this time. You must have felt very unjust, haven’t you?”
Rather than being grateful for being a lifesaver, he made his beloved daughter cry.
Regretfully, the coldest treatment of Hyo-jin to clear her mind at that time was the most regrettable.
Even though Gyo-hwan did not give up saving Yul and his mom from the burning car, melting his fingerprints.
“Father, like how you protected our Yul and his mom, I will now protect the remaining family in your place and live on.”
Hyo-jin, Hwang Sae, and Grandma.
“Mom, Dad. Did you hear? Thanks to Dad, I now have two men who love me like this.”
Although Dad left early.
“At first, I wondered if living like this was right because I felt so sorry for Dad. But now I know.”
Dad is happy when I am happy.
If I live unhappily, giving up the person I love for a lifetime under the pretext of honoring Dad, Dad will be even more heartbroken, right?
“So I believe that it’s a gift from Dad in heaven, and I’ll live lovingly. I won’t forget the love Dad gave me. Dad should rest comfortably with Mom in heaven, without working, right?”
Don’t do substitute driving or delivery.
I’ll be happy with Mom and Dad.
Hyo-jin lowered her head and closed her eyes to hide the warm tears.
The fresh breeze blowing through the pine trees cooled the warmth in her closed eyes.
Between the rustling leaves, it seemed as if the voices of Mom and Dad were coming through.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
