Chapter 182 The Vanished Mothers
Phoenix Hall Alley, nearing the end of the year.
The door to the salamander's house opened, and the head teacher stretched while holding a broom.
Put the broom aside and do a few chest expansion exercises first.
Next, let's do some hand and foot joint exercises, and finally stretch our hamstrings.
"Alright! Ready!!"
After giving himself a shout, Donglong's father bent down, looked straight ahead, and quickly... tied his shoelaces.
After all that grand warm-up, it turned out to be just sweeping fallen leaves in the alley...
.......
The fallen leaves in the yard were blown by the wind and flew towards Deok-sun's house.
The falling leaves were blocked, but the phoenix flew into Deok-sun's living room through a hole in the window.
The already unheated home became even worse.
Deok-sun, who was sitting at the dining table, shrank her legs.
"Dad, can we move?" Deok-sun sniffled.
"Why all of a sudden, why are you saying you're moving?" Cheng Dongri slurped up his spoon.
"It's so cold~ I feel like I'm going to freeze to death~" Deok-sun said aggrievedly.
"Oh dear~ you little rascal, if you're cold, learn from your dad and wear thermal underwear underneath~", Sung Dong-il unzipped his thermal underwear and showed it to Deok-sun, but a gust of cold wind made him quickly zip it up again~
Seeing this, Deok-sun reached out and rolled up her sleeves, revealing a red thermal undershirt.
"I've been wearing them for a while now!"
"Look~ Sung Bora's hands are freezing cold~"
"It's as cold as ice!"
Not content with just one demonstration, he also casually grabbed Paula's hand and rubbed it together.
"Leave me alone~" Bora said, angrily shaking off Deok-sun's hand.
"My eldest sister's hands are naturally cold," Yu Hui said, speaking up for their father as he watched his second sister's exaggerated reaction.
"Ah~"
"It's Dad's fault for letting you down~"
"However, let's hang in there a little longer~"
"Things will be fine once the debts are paid off~"
"Oh, by the way~ don't you like going to Shuyu's house~?"
"I'll just go to his place during the day to enjoy the warmth."
Sung Dong-il finished speaking with remorse, and less than two seconds later, he started giving Deok-sun another 'bad idea'.
"Okay~", Deok-sun felt a little embarrassed after hearing what her father said.
"By the way, does Shuyu have any alcohol he doesn't drink? Could you ask him for me while you're at it?"
"Just say it's me~ no~ just say that all of us uncles are happy to help~"
Sung Dong-il suddenly chuckled and started ordering Deok-sun around.
“Ah…” Deok-sun opened her mouth wide, speechless as she looked at her father.
"Ahem... well, on another note..."
Where did your mother go?
Sung Dong-il quickly changed the subject.
"They disappeared right after serving this bowl of soup early in the morning."
"Who saw her?"
"Bang, bang, bang," Cheng Dongri banged on the table.
Deok-sun and Yu-hui shook their heads.
Paula just kept eating and didn't say a word.
..........
Jung-hwan's House
Kim Sung-kyun brought over a pot of seaweed soup, and Jung-hwan and Jung-bong looked at him with suspicion.
"Dad, where did Mom go?" Jung-hwan asked.
"I do not know."
"First thing in the morning, after putting on a bunch of makeup on my face."
"I'm heading out now~"
Kim Sung-kyun replied while serving soup.
Jung-hwan and Jung-bong looked at each other, their eyes filled with doubt.
"Eat quickly~"
"It'll get cold soon."
Kim Sung-kyun picked up the bowl and handed it to Jung-hwan, then took a spoonful of soup.
"Ah~"
Jung-hwan watched his father coaxing the child speechlessly, then reluctantly took the bowl and spoon.
.........
Sunwoo's family
Sunwoo scooped up some rice and vegetables with a spoon, blew on them to cool them, and then brought them to Pearl's lips.
"Ah~~"
With Sunwoo feeding her, Pearl obediently finished the food in the spoon.
Where did Mom go?
The pearl, having swallowed its food, posed a profound question~
"I don't know, Mom didn't tell my brother yet~"
Sunwoo shook his head and continued feeding Pearl.
"Magical girl~Mingqi~~Mingqi~~"
The sound of an animated cartoon came on the television.
Pearl immediately got up and started dancing. Sunwoo looked at Pearl, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Pearls~"
"Shall we eat first?"
The pearl remained silent, only dancing endlessly.
"Seriously, I get like this as soon as I hear this song~"
Sunwoo looked at Jinju with a smile, then picked up a spoon, scooped up some rice, and put it in his mouth.
............
In a temple, four women are sitting in the hall.
Kneeling in a row were the three missing Phoenix Hall sisters, while on the other side was a fortune teller dressed in retro clothing with somewhat fantastical makeup.
"What do you want to be?" the fairy asked, looking at the three of them.
The three sisters looked at each other, and finally the eldest sister in the middle, Ms. Leopard, spoke up.
"Um... hello..."
"All three of our children are the same age~"
"I'd like to ask about my future prospects~"
"Um, my son is doing quite well in school."
"Can you get into Seoul National University?"
"Ms. Leopard asked with a smile."
"What about me? Will my son be able to get into Seoul National University?" Sun-young asked as soon as Ms. Leopard finished speaking.
"I have a daughter, and I'd like to ask if she has a chance of getting into a university in Seoul?"
Li Yihua wasn't as confident as her two sisters, and asked a broader question~
"Ask them one by one..." The fairy closed her eyes, listened to the three people's requests, and slowly began to speak.
"Then I'll go first," Ms. Leopard said to the two people on either side, and asked again.
"My son is a good student, but you also need some luck when it comes to exams!"
"Um... is it possible for me to get into Seoul National University?"
Ms. Leopard inquired earnestly.
"Great fortune is coming," the fairy opened her eyes and said slowly.
"What?" Ms. Leopard didn't hear clearly.
“This year, there will be great fortune for your eldest son,” the fairy said confidently.
"What?!" Ms. Leopard was surprised that the question was directed at Jung-hwan, but the answer was Jung-bong.
"Oh my god!! Sister, that's amazing! How did you know you had an eldest son?" Li Yihua covered her mouth and whispered to Ms. Leopard.
"Is this your eldest son?" Ms. Leopard asked again to confirm.
"Well, the younger one will be fine without any problems, but the eldest son is quite worrying, isn't he?"
