Chapter 149 – Going to the Competition.

A few days later, the fact that Aunt Jeong-hee was pregnant became known to everyone.
As Aunt Jeong-hee boasted, she told Aunt Hyo-seon, and Aunt Hyo-seon told my mother.
Gyung-mi, who comes to the office and home every day, naturally heard about it, and through Gyung-mi, the news of Aunt Jeong-hee’s pregnancy was delivered to Aunt Hye-jeong and older sisters Young-hee.

That night, today, after all my siblings were asleep, I went to the main room and greeted the child in the belly by rubbing her mother’s belly next to her mother.
I think I heard somewhere that it is good to hear the father’s voice a lot since the child was in the stomach, so I stroked the mother’s belly and talked to her belly whenever I had a chance.

“My dear. It’s dad Is my baby sleeping well? Coming out to the world in just a few months. I want to see you soon. Let’s play a lot with Dad when we come out.”

Now, six months later, the mother’s belly was quite convex.
As she put her face on her stomach and talk to me, my mother looked appreciatively at me, gently stroking my hair, and then she suddenly slapped me on the shoulder and she spoke.

“Seong-jin, wake up for a second. Jeong-hee is pregnant. Are you sure it’s not you?”

My mother raised her voice and called my name, and she finally screamed and glared at me.

“Haha. No.. I guess.”

As I avoided her mother’s gaze with a cold face, she immediately pinched my arm.

“Uhhh~ You playboy. Shall I cut off your dick?”

My mother rolled her eyes and ran her hand over my things, and I quickly covered mine.

“No. Then what will Hee-kyung do?”
“That’s right. I can’t live without this now.”

My mother giggled and gently ran my things over her clothes.

“Be careful. I’m not making a baby like that.”
“Hee-kyung, my wish is to have many babies. In the past, even if I wanted to have one, it was impossible…”

When I spoke in a sentimental monologue, my mother wondered what I was talking about.

“There is such a thing. I’ll tell you all about it later.”

When my mother gave me a suspicious look, I subtly averted her gaze and walked away.

“If you want to have a baby, Seongjin, I will give birth to you. If possible, don’t make it with another woman.”

It was the mother who had been talking to me as her mother until a while ago, and now she has returned to the form of her wife.

My mother shyly wrapped her arms around me and buried her face, as if she was embarrassed to say that she would give birth to her baby.

“Huh? Mr. Hee-kyung, including me, has four children now, but is she going to have another baby?”
“Hoho. If it were our dear Nanggun-nim’s children, she would have the confidence to give birth to a dozen.”

Seeing her mother raise her head again and speak confidently, I got goosebumps at the thought that this could really be the case.
It wasn’t a bad feeling, it was an exhilarating feeling that my mother would have another child.

“I love you, Hee-kyung.”

I held her mother tight and kissed her on the mouth.
Even my shy mother hugged me by the neck and passionately kissed her.
Seeing her tongue more active than usual, it seemed that she was stimulated by the news of Aunt Jeong-hee’s pregnancy.

Usually, it’s hot summer, so I sleep with the air conditioner on on the floor and the door open, but today I had no choice but to close the door and sleep.

When Aunt Jeong-hee’s children left, Aunt Jeong-hee would live alone in that big house.
She asked if she would have to take care of herself after giving birth, but how would it be to move out by reducing her house?

But when they talked about it, it was that sooner or later Aunt Hyo-seon would move to Aunt Jeong-hee’s house with her two daughters.
Anyway, since Aunt Jeong-hee’s house was less than 5 minutes away from my house, I didn’t want to go far, and I thought that it would be better for me to go out and play with Aunt Hyo-seon than to live alone with Aunt Jeong-hee.

Hearing that Aunt Hyo-seon had made the proposal, he was so proud that he harassed Aunt Hyo-seon.

But more interesting news came.
After Aunt Hyo-seon moved out, she said that Yeong-hee noona would move into that house.
Younghee noona, who stops by my house every day to talk to me after work, said she was so happy to live right next to me and said that she had finally found her place, and she really liked it.

As she sat and talked with her, Kyung-mi envied her, saying that she would like Yeong-hee noona.
Even though Kyungmi’s house is less than 5 minutes from my house.

The two families moved over two days, the last Friday and Saturday of July.
On Friday, Aunt Hyo-seon moved into Aunt Jeong-hee’s house, and on Saturday, Young-hee and Young-rae moved into the upper floor of our house.

I’m busy with work, and I’m busy with sports because I’m going to the tournament, but now I can see Yeong-rae every day, which I didn’t see often.
She said it was good that Yeong-rae saw me often, and she said that she would take good care of me in the future.
On the moving day, Dong-gu also came with Yeong-rae to help move.

After dinner, Young-hee noona came over to see the liquor table.
After a long time, the four of us, including Younghee noona, talked a lot about school, work, my participation in the tournament, and Dong-gu girlfriend, etc. We drank and hung out until late and then slept together.
Except for Younghee noona, of course..

Young-rae and Dong-gu said they fell into the business class when they were in the second year.
Since they were not good at studying from the beginning, I thought that I would get a job early.

Young-Rae said that he would earn money quickly so that his older sister would suffer because of him, and Dong-Gu was also suffering because of her single mother, but he would quickly earn money and become independent.
I thought I should find a place for both of them next year.

On the third Friday of July, Kwang-shik came to the store for the first time in a month.
Finally, the president of the construction company I was working on raised both hands.
I don’t know how Kwang-shik’s younger brothers and sisters baked and boiled, but they said they decided to take over the company by secretly putting 300 million won in cash into the hands of the president.

I looked at the company’s financial statements and books.
Debt reached 1.5 billion.

If the subway fare in 2017 was 2,000 won, the subway fare in 1990 was 200 won.
If the price of jajangmyeon in 2017 was about 7,000 won, the price of jajangmyeon in 1990 was about 700 won.

Debt of 1.5 billion was a very large amount of money for such a small construction company.
In addition to the apartment construction in Bundang, the company was also doing two local construction projects.
The construction cost was used as collateral to borrow debt from the bank.

Fortunately, if the construction work was completed well and the payment was collected, there was nothing to worry about.
However, since this construction company is a subcontractor of a large construction company, it was not known when the construction cost could be recovered.

Even if a large construction company paid for the construction, if the flow of funds was blocked by a subcontractor, such a small construction company had to wait until it paid.
However, even such a large construction company pays with a bill of at least three months when paying, so of course, the companies below it had no choice but to increase their loans from banks.

“Older brother. Can you pay for this construction like a knife?”
“Hehe. Don’t worry about that. Who am I? I am Jang Gwang-sik. You can receive the construction payment right away from the overdue.”

I smiled as I nodded my head and looked at Kwang-sik hyung.

“And brother. It’s too much money to give the boss. It is a complete thief to ask for 300 million won in cash on the condition that we take on all the debt after running the company like this. The salary of a manager of a large company is 1.5 million won, and Gaepo-dong Jugong Apartment is less than 200 million won. Cut it in half for the boss.”
“Hmm. I heard and saw it. I thought 300 million was handled well. Just meet my boss. “

Perhaps because he was also a simple gangster, Kwang-sik hyung showed a hot-blooded appearance at the moment.
While I stopped Gwang-shik, I continued to talk about the acquisition of a construction company.

Certainly, if I could give 150 million to the president and take over the company, it was almost like taking over the company for free with receivables lying around.
It seemed like they handled the job properly, probably because they were definitely talented ex-gangsters.

As for the shares in the company, I made an agreement with Kwang-shik to give me 34%, Kwang-shik 33%, and my father 33%.
It was decided to finalize the process of taking over the company and the process of distributing shares through a lawyer during the next week, and Kwang-sik went back in a good mood.

That evening, without her mother’s knowledge, she met her father and had a drink at a food stall.
It was my father who hadn’t come home for over a month, perhaps because he was very upset because I hadn’t given him the fried chicken restaurant.
Now, since I put my father’s pocket money into his bank account, he hadn’t come home well.
Still, he used to stop by my house three or four times a month to see his beloved daughter, Jinhee, buying something like painting tools, but last month he hadn’t come.

Still, when I asked to meet him, my father, who had high expectations, rushed over.

While talking about this and that, he told me to work because he would give me a 33% stake in a construction company and a position as managing director.
Then my father was so moved that he took my hand and thanked me several times.
If I hadn’t stopped it, it was an atmosphere that would have made a big bow.

I told her not to worry too much now and to work hard and live comfortably, and I asked her what she would do with her mother.
Her father said that she had no choice but to live because of the pocket money her mother gave her, and he said that he would divorce her because he didn’t have to accept the pocket money anymore.

He asked if there was anyone he would marry again, and he said that he had no remarriage yet, but that he was dating a woman.
I asked my father to postpone the divorce until Sung-hoon graduated from high school, so that he could get a house when he started working at the company, so he could live independently and live with a woman.

My father thought about it for a while and said he would understand that it was because of his children.
Anyway, the younger siblings were afraid of their father, but they didn’t like it, so it wouldn’t be a big problem if they divorced right away.

However, I delayed the divorce because of my child to be born to my mother.
It was because people around her knew the child inside the mother’s womb as the father’s child, but if they suddenly divorced, the mother and child could be suspected.
That’s why I decided to delay the father’s divorce, make the child naturally be recognized as the father’s child, and make it naturally forgotten in people’s heads over time.
My father didn’t even know what I was feeling and was in a good mood, so he drank a lot and died.

Not even a week after Kwang-sik passed away, the president of the construction company decided to hand over the company in exchange for 150 million.
Instead, some executives were given severance pay and resigned, and all other employees decided to take over the employment without leaving the company.

His father also attended the process of taking over the company through a lawyer.
Now that he is one of the largest shareholders in the company and the person who has real power next to Kwang-shik, it was only natural.

I told my father not to pay attention to me and work to his heart’s content, and my father promised to work really hard.
However, it was clear that he would cause a lot of trouble because he was clearly not a business person.

So, while introducing Kwang-sik to my father, I implicitly threatened him to treat him well because he is the president of the company from now on, a person who has the same stake as my father, and also the underboss of the Chun-shik faction.

Gwang-shik also greeted my father by holding his father’s hand roughly and shaking it while making a big impression with his big size in line with my rhythm.
My father had been having sweet dreams for a long time, but when suddenly a gangster appeared as the boss, he looked very nervous.

Perhaps now, to some extent, the father will try not to make mistakes while watching Kwang-shik.
Then, I would continue to use Kwang-shik behind the scenes to move my father so that he could do his job properly.
It’s because I didn’t create a construction company to prepare for my father’s retirement.
How many projects await in the future due to the revival of the construction industry, but would you put all of this into your mouth?

That’s why I’m going to make my father work as hard as possible because he can’t do his job properly, and if he abuses the staff in a high position, the plan may be disrupted.
Gwang-sik hyung-nim said that I was a scary guy when he saw that I was shaking my father while trying to soothe him.

After the construction company takeover process and father issues were resolved, talk of vacation began to come up here and there.

Already last week, Kyungmi and her younger siblings went on vacation.

Kyeong-mi eventually agreed to work as a photographer and model, and as soon as she was on vacation, she went into filming.
Aunt Hye-jeong also left most of her company work to her older sister Young-hee and followed her around.

However, the funny thing is that Soo-yeong noona, who had become friends with Gyeong-mi, was bored because it was her vacation, so she followed Gyeong-mi to the filming set, where she was picked by the photographer again.

Soo-young’s older sister was also 169 cm tall, similar to Gyeong-mi, and unlike her slender body built up through boxing and her cute and pretty face, unlike her mature image, it was said that her picture would come out with Kyung-mi as a set.

So, on the first set she went to play, she accidentally took a picture with Kyungmi, and that was what the photographer liked.
This led to the birth of two great actors who would later be called the two-headed carriage of actresses.
