“Really? Do you think this dress suits me? This is a limited edition.”

“Somehow, it’s a difficult dress for anyone to pull off, but it suits you so well. You have such a refined eye.”
Refined, indeed. To Hyun Seo, it looked vulgar. It was so tacky that it would be hard for anyone to pull off, just as she said.

If Hye Mi had any taste, she wouldn’t be ignorant of that, and it was utterly absurd that she was fawning and saying it suited well.

“That’s right, you and I have the same taste. We’re so much alike, just like mother and daughter.”
“I also feel like you’re my real mother.”
“Speaking of which, how are your parents?”
“They’re doing well, they asked me to send their regards. Every time I go to my parents’ house, they always tell me to be filial to you.”
“It would be nice if Hyun Seo was like you. He shows that he grew up without a mother.”
“Haha, you can’t compare me to him.”
The conversation between the two, who were laughing and chatting, was unknowingly grating on Hyun Seo’s ears.

Ah, it’s so absurd. If they’re happy, they should be happy, why am I being dragged into this like an eavesdropping spirit. Am I the seasoning in their conversation? They keep dragging me into it.

Unable to stand it any longer, Hyun Seo interrupted.

“That’s right, exactly. You can’t compare Do Seo and me. At least I don’t badmouth my mother when I turn around, unlike some people.”
Only then did Hye Mi notice Hyun Seo in the living room and was surprised and flustered.

“Oh, oh my! When did you get here, brother?”
Hye Mi was scared that Young Suk might have heard what Hyun Seo said. If she heard that she was badmouthing her because of her temper, she wouldn’t stay still.

However, Young Suk had already heard what Hyun Seo said.

“What did he just say?”
“Ah, brother! When have I ever badmouthed mother? Why are you trying to cause a rift between mother and me?”

“Sowing discord, isn’t that Do Seo’s specialty? Don’t you think I was just sitting quietly, not knowing that he’s been coming and going, causing friction between my mother and me?”
“No, brother, you’re really talking strange.”
Young Suk, who had been quietly listening to the conversation between them, blurted out as she pleased.

“Hey, where are you going around sowing discord about your Do Seo! You’ve seen my flaw, but when did Hye Mi see it? You’re making up things that don’t exist.”
She was scolding Hyun Seo and stepping in to take Hye Mi’s side.

Even if that Hye Mi did such a thing, the character of her inlaws wasn’t ordinary, so it was burdensome to deal with them.

In the end, it was easy to pick on Hyun Seo, who had nothing. Even his poor biological mother had passed away. He was a daughterinlaw with no one on her side.

“Mother, should I tell you all the bad things Do Seo has said so far, right here? I have an excellent memory, you know.”
Young Suk seemed about to explode at Hyun Seo’s behavior, but she hesitated.

She was momentarily at a loss for words, thinking that Hye Mi might have recounted all the bad things she said about her, along with the flaws of Hyun Seo she had seen.

“And, I have a request for Do Seo, from now on, when you shop for your stuff, use your own card. Don’t use my husband’s card.”
“When have I ever used your father’s card?”
“The card mother uses, it’s our Do Ha’s card. Do Seo’s family is welloff, aren’t they? Surely, you’re not so desperate that you need to leech off mother, right?”
Hyun Seo, who usually never stepped forward, acting as if he didn’t exist, was holding on to the conversation today as if he had made up his mind, which left Hye Mi quite flabbergasted.

Was he always this articulate? Then why was he always quiet before?

“No, how can you say such things about our family?”
“How can I see them? They treat Do Seo like leftover rice.”
“Where do you get the idea that my family treats me like leftover rice? Brother, don’t speak so carelessly.”
“I’m not speaking carelessly. I’m basing my words on evidence. If Do Seo wants me to provide proof, I will. Do you want proof?”
“……”
“And from now on, try to be a good daughterinlaw with your own money, not just with your mouth.”
Hyun Seo felt like a weight had been lifted off his chest, having finally said what he’d wanted to say for so long. He’d been holding back for the sake of domestic peace, but now he wondered why he had bothered.

Ju Hyuk was taken aback by this side of Hyun Seo.

In fact, he had often seen this side of his sisterinlaw when they were very young.

Back then, it was cool, but now it made him feel very uncomfortable. It was embarrassing that his wife was being humiliated.

Ju Hyuk, who had been gauging the atmosphere among the three women, threw out a comment to change the subject.

“Ah, sisterinlaw! We haven’t eaten dinner yet. Could you give us some food?”
Hyun Seo glanced at the kitchen. She realized she hadn’t smelled any cooking.

“What time do you think it is……”
Seo San’s wife also felt awkward, smiling uncomfortably at Hyun Seo.

“I was going to prepare it, but my motherinlaw said she was waiting for my younger motherinlaw.”
Hyun Seo let out a small sigh. She hadn’t prepared a meal in days due to morning sickness, yet every mealtime was like this.

Well, they didn’t know about the pregnancy yet.

“I can’t do it today. Auntie, please prepare dinner.”
“Don’t ask the auntie, please make us something delicious, sisterinlaw. Your cooking skills are better, you know. That’s why we skipped dinner and came here, hehe.”

Hyun Seo looked at the face of his younger brotherinlaw, who continued to speak despite the tense atmosphere, in disbelief.

Who would be pleased by praise about their cooking skills in this situation?

Though these people had always acted this way, making the situation not entirely surprising, Hyun Seo couldn’t help but feel bitter about how he had been accommodating them up until now.

“Do Seo can make dinner for mother today.”
“Eh? Me?”
“Why? Can’t you do it?”
