Traveling back in time to take care of Sung Deok-sun

Chapter 215 2 News

"what!"

"You want to apply to Seoul National University?"

Sung Dong-il dropped his chopsticks on the ground and stood up excitedly.

Lee Il-hwa reached out and patted Deok-sun's head.

"That's strange. Has she become more delicate since coming back from Shuyu's house? Can't stand the room without heating anymore?"

"Huh? He doesn't have a fever?"

Looking at Dad's excited yet slightly incredulous expression, and Mom's strange muttering, I felt a surge of emotion.

The motivation that Deok-sun had just mustered instantly vanished.

Bora shrugged as she watched Deok-sun revert to her listless state and spoke.

"Who knows?"

Upon hearing Bora's words, everyone immediately looked at her. Even Deok-sun was surprised that Bora had a high opinion of her. While she was in a daze, Bora took a bite of her food and spoke slowly again.

"Seoul National University is also short of odd jobs, so you should apply for an odd job there."

"Phew~~", Yu Hui breathed a sigh of relief. Her eldest sister wasn't like her second sister; she wasn't mentally impaired.

"Phew~~", Li Yihua breathed a sigh of relief. Her eldest daughter was normal, but her second daughter was not quite normal.

"Phew~~", Cheng Dongri breathed a sigh of relief. One of them going crazy was enough.

"Phew~~", Deok-sun breathed a sigh of relief...

I'll fucking scare you!

"Sung Bo-ra!!!" Deok-sun stirred her rice with chopsticks, glaring at her with hostility.

"And you!"

"Why don't you believe me? I've made great progress."

Deok-sun looked at her parents pitifully.

"Cough cough..."

"Who said my daughter isn't good enough!"

"Isn't there one at Seoul National University?"

"So, Deok-sun, don't worry, Dad will definitely support you."

Sung Dong-il righteously supported Deok-sun, but seeing that Deok-sun's mood had brightened again, he rolled his eyes and changed the subject.

"But~"

"On the other hand..."

"We should do everything within our capabilities, Deok-sun. Let's try our best first, and aim to get into a university in Seoul, that should be fine..."

Cheng Dongri said, sounding somewhat unsure.

"It's good that you have this intention. Mom doesn't expect you to do very well on the exam. As long as you can go to university, a university in the Seoul area, that's enough."

Lee Il-hwa said to Deok-sun with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll take the test!"

Seoul National University!!!

Deok-sun couldn't hear the words "at" and "region" in their conversation; she only heard the words "Seoul National University"...

Sung Dong-il and Lee Il-hwa exchanged glances, looking at the spirited Deok-sun, and didn't know what to say.

Sung Dong-il silently placed a piece of meat on Deok-sun's plate, knowing that she might not have the same appetite as she did today if she were to suffer setbacks in the future.

Lee Il-hwa sighed. Deok-sun wanted to go to Seoul National University, unless they chopped off Bora's or Seo-woo's brains and replaced them with...

"Oh, right, I wanted to tell you something."

"Deok-sun gave me a fright just now, I almost forgot to mention it."

"And also, honey, from now on, don't start eating unless there are at least three meat dishes on the table."

Sung Dong-il suddenly criticized Lee Il-hwa.

"Huh~?"

"Three meat dishes?"

"I think Deok-sun's brain is fine, but you need to go to the hospital to get it checked out."

Li Yihua laughed at his antics.

"Ugh!! You!"

"How dare you speak to the Deputy Minister like that!"

Sung Dong-il shouted loudly, but a smug smile was already on his face.

(Note: Cheng Dongri was a section chief at the bank at the time, which was a middle management level. Above him were deputy section chief, department head, branch manager, and head of the headquarters.)

“Second...Second Minister?” Li Yihua looked at his smug expression, automatically filtering out his pretentiousness and focusing on the key words.

"Dad, you got a promotion?" Deok-sun and Yu-hui asked at the same time.

Paula also turned to look at her father.

"You four, listen up!"

"From now on, our family can eat meat whenever we want, and buy fruit whenever we want!"

"Don't be stingy anymore, we still have this semi-basement. Once I've saved enough money, I'll find a spacious, big house as soon as possible..."

Cheng Dongri stretched out his hand and gestured to the four people.

"Is it as big as Brother Shuyu's house?" Yu Hui asked.

"Cough cough..."

"Well, it's not that big. Can't you compare it to something a little more suitable?"

Cheng Dongri slapped him on the head.

"Alright, enough with the nonsense, just tell me what happened?"

Lee Il-hwa interrupted the interaction between Sung Dong-il and Yu Hui.

"Oh, what else could it be? It's all because of your husband, I'm hardworking and reliable, that's why I got promoted."

Cheng Dongri kept praising himself.

"Hooray, at least there's hope for the future."

Li Yihua breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Cheng Dongri looking smug.

Now she uses her monthly salary to supplement her household expenses, which makes things a little easier.

"By the way, your salary has increased, but a portion will still be deducted, right?"

Li Yihua was happy for only a short while before she became worried again when she thought about the wages her husband had been deducted for acting as a guarantor.

"Oh, it's alright. The higher-ups have personally spoken up and said that the ratio will be reduced from now on."

"I can bring back eighty percent."

"From now on, the children can eat whatever they want."

Cheng Dongri waved his hand and said magnanimously.

"Um, Dad, I need some pocket money!" Yu Hui said, seizing the opportunity.

"Here you go," Cheng Dongri said, waving his hand dismissively.

"Dad, I want pocket money too, more than Yu Hui," Deok-sun quickly said.

"How greedy! They want even more than the afterglow..."

Sung Dong-il pretended to be thinking, looked up at Deok-sun, and chuckled when he saw her expectant eyes.

"They've all been given."

Deok-sun jumped up happily and started doing the classic dog-leg dance!

Yu Hui clapped along to accompany her second sister's music.

Paula pouted, looking at the lively Deok-sun and Yu-hui, and breathed a sigh of relief. Finally, a huge burden had been lifted from the family, and the atmosphere in the whole family became joyful.

"By the way, Paula, what do you want when Dad gets his salary next month?"

Sung Dong-il looked at Bora, who was just eating quietly, and asked in a gentle tone.

“No need,” Paula shook her head.

"Sung Bo-ra doesn't want it, give me her allowance too." Deok-sun sat down abruptly, craning her neck to look at her parents.

Cheng Dongri and Li Yihua stared at her speechlessly, wondering where she learned such shamelessness.

Sung Dong-il: Just like his mother.

Li Yihua: You're talking nonsense!

"Dad, Mom, I'm full. I'm going out for a bit."

After finishing his meal, Yu Hui got up to leave.

"Hey, you little rascal."

"Don't go running to Soo-kyung's place all the time. Look at your sister, she's determined to go to Seoul National University."

"Your grades are what's most worrying right now!"

"Hurry up and study hard, okay?"

Cheng Dongri looked at Yu Hui, who ran out as soon as he finished eating, and said with a sense of disappointment.

This son, who ranked 1000th in the exam, is even more of a headache than Deok-sun.

"Don't worry~"

"Oh, right, Mom, I saw some sweet potatoes in the kitchen. I'll take some over."

Yu Hui looked at his mother and said.

"Oh, go ahead and take it, take as much as you like."

Li Yihua nodded with a smile.

Yu Hui left happily.

Deok-sun and Bora watched the afterglow with envy.

Deok-sun: "I'm going to Seo-woo's place too!"

"Where are you going?" Cheng Dongri asked.

“Go… study!” Deok-sun replied.

"Since you're so close to Shuyu, why don't you just stay at his place?" Cheng Dongri complained.

"I think it'll be quick," Lee Il-hwa muttered to herself, watching Deok-sun's departing figure and hearing Sung Dong-il's complaints.

Paula was left only to watch the two people leave their seats with envy, and sighed.

"Dingling bell~"

The ringing of the phone suddenly stirred something within Paula, and just as Lee Il-hwa was about to answer it, Paula called out.

"Wait a moment!"

Li Yihua was stunned.

"Mom, I'm here to pick you up. Go eat."

Paula said gently.

Lee Il-hwa and Sung Dong-il looked at the gentle Bora in surprise, which was quite rare.

"Hey?"

"Oh."

"okay."

Paula hung up the phone.

"Who is it?" Li Yihua asked curiously.

"Oh~~~ Um, Sunwoo is looking for Sung Deok-sun."

"Mom, I'm going out for a bit."

Paula gave a hasty explanation, then got up, picked up her clothes, and left.

"Honey, I got a promotion, didn't I?"

Cheng Dongri looked at Li Yihua with suspicion.

"It feels like my family has been destroyed. Everyone is running away while I'm eating."

"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey~~"

"Say something auspicious."

Li Yihua quickly spat a few times and said.
