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

Chapter 249 Sung Dong-il, who cares about his image, and Kim Sung-kyun, who undermines him.

As the plane flew overhead, Luo Meilan stood in the yard, holding a basket of pickled vegetables, looking up at it.

"Bang~"

The iron gate to the courtyard was pushed open, and Cheng Dongri strode up the steps.

"Paula's Dad!"

Luo Meilan called out.

"Oh! Zhengfeng's mom, are you pickling vegetables?"

Cheng Dongri smiled and replied.

"Where's Paula's mother?" Luo Meilan asked, peeking behind him and not seeing Li Yihua.

"He's in the back, chatting idly with Sunwoo's mom in the alley," Cheng Dongri replied casually.

"Is Paula's mother alright?" Ra Mi-ran asked with concern.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just a medical check-up."

"Why do you ask everyone about something as trivial as a chicken feather?"

"Absolutely no problem, I'm perfectly healthy."

Cheng Dongri said in a loud voice.

Upon hearing this, Luo Meilan breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Cheng Dongri was about to leave, Li Yihua came up to him.

Luo Meilan quickly put down her basket and walked over to her.

"Sister, the checkup is fine."

"They said there's a small tumor, benign, and it won't cause any problems."

Li Yihua knew what she wanted to say, and directly asked to confirm the news again.

"I'm telling you, you women are just worrying about nothing."

Sung Dong-il acted dismissively, as if it were a trivial matter.

"Aigoo! President Cheng!"

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Kim Sung-kyun pushed open the door, shouted, and walked toward Sung Dong-il.

"I'm so happy to see you."

"that......"

Kim Sung-kyun opened his mouth.

“It’s nothing, nothing at all,” Cheng Dongri said, anticipating his words.

Kim Sung-kyun shut up.

"We're so in sync! You already know what I'm going to ask before I even say it."

"As expected of you, President Cheng."

Kim Sung-kyun turned to look at Ra Mi-ran and Lee Il-hwa and praised them.

Upon seeing the two of them, he couldn't stop talking.

Oh, right, Deok-sun's mom, you didn't know that, did you?

That day I went to Shuyu's house, to President Cheng, um...

"Hey! I'm telling you, if you're going to drink, just drink, what's there to say!"

Cheng Dongri interrupted.

Drinking? Kim Sung-kyun was puzzled for a moment.

"No, that day you..."

"Ahem, alright, I have some wine at home, stop talking, I'll treat you to a drink."

Sung Dong-il interrupted Kim Sung-kyun again.

"What a wonderful thing! What kind of wine is it?" Kim Sung-kyun asked, puzzled but respectful of the wine...

"Sake! What else would you like to drink?"

"Ginseng wine, ginseng wine!" Kim Sung-kyun seized the opportunity, knowing that Sung Dong-il had a jar of his own homemade delicacy.

"I……"

Cheng Dongri glared at him, almost wanting to hit him.

But seeing Li Yihua and Luo Meilan behind him, he could only grit his teeth.

"Wild ginseng wine it is!"

Cheng Dongri felt uncomfortable under his gaze and just wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible, so he even took out his treasured ginseng wine.

"Honey, I'm going to have a drink with Paula's dad."

Kim Sung-kyun said to Ra Mi-ran.

"Yeah, let's go."

Luo Meilan waved.

"Should we invite Phoenix Hall as well?"

"It's not fun drinking just the two of us, is it?"

Kim Sung-kyun was being pushed away by Sung Dong-il, but he still couldn't stop thinking about Choi Moo-sung.

"Okay, okay! Bark, bark, bark!!!"

Cheng Dongri gritted his teeth.

"Ouch! How can you have such a strong grip?"

Kim Sung-kyun suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder...

Luo Meilan and Li Yihua watched the two of them go home arm in arm.

"Your husband has this kind of good stuff?"

"So willing?"

"You've even brought out the ginseng wine?"

Luo Meilan clicked her tongue and made a clicking sound as she spoke.

"Oh, he also said he wanted to save that ginseng wine for Paula's wedding."

"I usually value this more than my own life, I don't know why you're being so generous today."

Li Yihua was both amused and exasperated.

"I'm happy today!"

"What else can happen?"

"Let's go grab a couple of drinks."

Luo Meilan raised an eyebrow at Li Yihua as she spoke.

"Oh dear, sister, then I shall gladly accept your offer!"

Li Yihua smiled somewhat shyly.

"What should we do about Sun-young?" Ra Mi-ran asked.

Should we call her?

Li Yihua then remembered, "Oh right, my younger sister is still helping me with work. It was supposed to be my turn to work today."

"Why don't you guys drink it? I'll go get the younger sister back."

Li Yihua said shyly.

"Oh dear, why are you coming back?"

"Take the wine and go to the shop to drink. They also have food there, so I don't have to cook for myself."

Luo Meilan suggested.

"Yes! That's a great idea!"

Li Yihua clapped her hands, eager to follow Luo Meilan to get the wine.

"Why bring any more alcohol? We have everything in the store."

"Just pay up~"

.........

Cheng Dongri placed the wine on the table. Inside the Phoenix Hall Watch Shop, three men stared at each other.

Sung Dong-il: My heart aches so much I can't breathe~

Kim Sung-kyun: Ginseng wine? I see the wine, but where's the ginseng?

Cui Wusheng: What day is it today?

"Hey, Deok-sun's dad, where's the ginseng?"

Kim Sung-kyun pointed to the large glass bottle and asked.

"Hey! What's wrong with your eyes?!"

"Can't you see this huge ginseng?!"

Cheng Dongri pointed to a ginseng root hanging from a rope in the center of the bottle; the rope was almost as big as the ginseng root.

Jin Chengjun's eyes widened. He adjusted his glasses, almost thinking he was seeing things. It turned out that the one in the middle was a ginseng root. He was also wondering why there was an empty rope tied in the middle of the wine.

He thought the ginseng had become a spirit and run away, so he left the rope behind...

"Hey you two, what's gotten into you today? Why are you all so happy?"

"You've even brought out the ginseng wine?"

Cui Wusheng asked curiously.

"I guess Deok-sun's mother had a check-up today, and there's nothing wrong."

"Our president Cheng can finally put his mind at ease."

"Finally in the mood for drinking today! Oh! Right?"

Kim Sung-kyun looked at Sung Dong-il and said.

Cheng Dongri's lips twitched slightly, and he turned his head to the side and rolled his eyes.

"Even ginseng wine can't shut you up, you keep spouting so much nonsense."

"Hurry up and drink! Drink!"

"Didn't you want to drink?"

Upon hearing this, Kim Sung-kyun no longer cared about where the ginseng was or where his father was.

He opened the lid, picked up the wine container, and filled the three people's wine glasses.

After hearing this, Cui Wusheng finally understood that Cheng Dongri had this side to him.

He couldn't help but shake his head, smile, and pick up his wine glass.

"Cheers~!"

The three of them clinked glasses.

"I never thought that our 'tough guys' also have a tender side."

Cui Wusheng couldn't help but make a joke.

"Hey! Phoenix Hall!"

"How come you've become just like this thing?"

"What do you mean by 'iron-blooded yet tender-hearted'? This is just human nature."

"I don't believe you wouldn't be nervous if something happened to your family."

After downing a glass of wine, Cheng Dongri immediately started babbling on and on.

"Hey! President Cheng, you're wrong about that."

"In this alley, if you're asking who's the most composed, it's none other than the head of our Phoenix Hall, the father of the famous Go prodigy, Cui Ze."

Kim Sung-kyun praised Choi Moo-sung without reservation.

"Ouch~"

"You've put it too much, you've put it too much~"

"No, no, I don't deserve it!"

Choi Moo-sung quickly waved his hand, signaling Kim Sung-kyun to stop bragging; he was exaggerating.

The trains have all flown into the sky.

But judging from his beaming expression, he seemed to be enjoying it quite a bit.

"Even so, what's it to you? That's a matter for the Phoenix Hall father and son."

"Look at you, I don't believe you're better than me."

Cheng Dongri glanced at Cui Wusheng and couldn't really find fault with him, so he could only stick to Jin Chengjun.

"Haha~"

"Our 'respected' President Cheng, I'm afraid you don't know him yet?"

Kim Sung-kyun put on an air of importance and spoke slowly.

"As the pillar of my family, I'm always involved in everything."

"Fixing the electricity today and the water tomorrow, these are just small things, how could they be difficult for me?"

Kim Sung-kyun leisurely poured drinks for the three of them, and began to boast about how he had cleverly and bravely fixed the 'electrical system' in his house.

Cheng Dongri rolled his eyes repeatedly as he drank one glass of wine after another.

What followed was a heated verbal battle between the two after drinking.

The atmosphere inside the room was quite strange, a mixture of joy, frustration, and arguments.

Only Cui Wusheng chuckled, not participating in their argument.
