Chapter 41 The Terrifying Deok-sun
"Eat it!"
After Deok-sun and Bora's fight, dinner time finally arrived. Bora's mother placed a large basket of potatoes in the center of the table, with several vegetarian dishes beside it: potato pancakes, stir-fried potatoes, and potato and tofu soup. The only meat dish was the sweet and sour pork ribs that Liu Shu-yu brought over...
"Has the Second June 25 War (the outbreak of the Korean War) broken out? It's all potatoes! Potatoes! Potatoes! Is this emergency food?" Paula's father was very annoyed, and even stuck chopsticks into the potatoes, shouting at Paula's mother.
“Isn’t it all because of you?” Paula’s mother said calmly, looking at him.
"Dad, you bought a big box of potatoes yesterday, saying that the grandma in front of the station was too pitiful!" Yu Hui whispered to him.
"When did I do that! You brat!" Paula's dad refused to admit it...
"Keep acting! Keep acting!" Paula's mother said, staring at him with an unfriendly tone.
Upon seeing this, Paula's dad immediately grinned and asked Yu Hui, "Didn't Daddy act exceptionally well? Heh~~"
Yu Hui looked at his father, who was forcing a smile. As the person with the lowest status in the family, he could only force a smile and nod.
Paula's dad, who was chuckling, turned around and saw Paula's mom staring at him with an impatient look on her face, and his smile instantly disappeared.
"You've got too much money, haven't you!"
Paula's dad remained silent and quietly prepared to eat the potatoes.
Paula's mother was even angrier when she saw this.
"If you have any money left over, I'd like to spend it too! Ah!"
"Ah~! Ah~!"
Paula's dad was being pinched and talked to by Paula's mom, and he showed a pained expression.
"Oh dear! The children are watching!"
"And also, do you know how good potatoes are for your health?"
"I bought all these potatoes for the children's health! Don't you even know that?!"
"Ouch! Ouch~~ Don't pinch me~~"
Paula's mother, seeing her husband's unreasonable argument, pinched him a few more times in anger.
"That was pretty ruthless~~ Want to change husbands, huh?"
Paula's mom pinched her, and once her anger subsided, she turned to pick up her chopsticks and start eating.
"Oh dear! Deok-sun! It's almost time for the sports news! Let's turn on MBC!" Paula's dad quickly changed the subject to avoid his wife getting angry again...
"It's MBC now, it's not time for sports news yet," Deok-sun said to her father, glancing at the TV and then at her watch.
"Really?" Paula's dad successfully diverted attention and quickly grabbed his chopsticks to start eating.
The television news happened to be broadcasting a rare incident: someone had broken into the studio.
The incident, commonly known as the South Korean wiretapping incident, is being discussed by Paula's father, Paula's mother, and others.
"Sung Deok-sun, Deok-sun!" came a voice from outside the door.
Deok-sun turned around and looked towards the door.
"It's Shuyu again? He's practically wearing out the door!" Paula joked.
"Brother Shuyu! There's been an accident during the news broadcast, come quick!" Yu Hui shouted.
"Shuyu! Come in and have a drink... cough cough! Come in and have a bowl of rice!"
"Hey, Deok-sun, go get some rice for Seo-woo..."
As they were talking, Bora's father turned around and saw that Deok-sun's seat was empty. He was stunned and looked around for a while.
"What the heck? It was here just a second ago! Why are there always things coming and going today..."
Paula complained about Deok-sun's unpredictable appearances and disappearances, while also watching the news reports on TV.
"Look how terrified he is..."
"Hehehe~~~~ Look at his face, oh my god~~~" Paula's mom laughed non-stop, it was a rare sight to see a news live broadcast mishap.
At this moment, Deok-sun...
He's performing a ten-second clothes-changing act in his room...
After changing and preparing to leave, I turned back and started putting on makeup again...
"Oh dear! This is the first time I've ever seen a news broadcast go wrong since I started growing hair! Anything really can happen in this world~" Paula's dad was still talking about what had just happened.
"Crack~~"
"Hello~" Liu Shuyu poked his head out from the doorway and greeted everyone.
"Oh~ Shuyu, come and eat quickly, thank you for the ribs!" Paula's mother warmly welcomed him.
"Mmm! Come and eat!" Paula's dad said enthusiastically.
"No need, I'll invite Deok-sun to come to my house for some handmade noodles!"
Liu Shuyu was startled when Deoksun came out of the room. Deoksun's face was covered with white powder, making it look like she had a layer of putty on her, which made Liu Shuyu both laugh and cry.
Yu Hui turned around and was so shocked that his mouth dropped open. Bora forgot to put her food in her mouth and stared dumbfounded at Deok-sun, who had been covered in a layer of putty.
"Wow, this is even scarier than a TV news accident..." Yu Hui complained.
"Are you crazy? What are you doing? Where are you planning to scare people in the middle of the night?" Paula's dad couldn't resist teasing him.
"I'm going to Seowoo's house for handmade noodles~~~" Deoksun said in a high-pitched voice.
"Let's go, Seo-woo," Deok-sun said, pulling his arm.
Liu Shuyu followed her out, trembling. Today, he was truly completely outmaneuvered by the beauty-obsessed Deok-sun...
"Honey, Shuyu seems to be bringing us food quite often lately! He's such a good boy~" Paula's dad murmured.
"Do you even need to tell me? Everyone knows Shuyu is a great cook, a good student, and has a kind heart. I wish he could be our son-in-law!" Paula's mom said wistfully after praising him.
“Heh~, Mom, there’s a chance~~” Paula said with a smile.
Paula's parents shook their heads and continued discussing the TV news incident. They didn't believe Liu Shuyu would really become their son-in-law. They were too caught up in the situation to think that their ordinary second daughter could find a rich husband.
......
Liu Shuyu's family
"Ouch!!!"
The four were stunned by the shock. Jung-hwan, Sun-woo, Taek, and the doll-fish were all dumbfounded.
"Hey! Sung Deok-sun~ can you please stop scaring people?" Jung-hwan was the first to complain.
"What do you mean!" Deok-sun narrowed her eyes with an unfriendly expression.
"What he means is, Deok-sun, what happened to you today?" Dong-ryong chimed in, unable to resist teasing Deok-sun first.
"Hmph!" Deok-sun stomped her feet angrily.
Taek and Sunwoo remained silent; one understood why she was acting this way, while the other responded with silence.
"Alright, Deok-sun, eat up, it'll get cold soon."
Liu Shuyu took out a large bowl and served Deok-sun a bowl of noodles. The noodles, hand-stretched, were thin yet chewy, a testament to the hard work Liu Shuyu had put into making them.
"Okay, Shuyu!"
“Eh~~~~”
The group couldn't help but shiver again. Sunwoo rubbed his arms, trying to suppress the goosebumps and hairs that had risen on his skin...
......
"...The escape of the prisoner has plunged the area around Seoul into panic..."
Pearl sat quietly at home playing with her toys while the television broadcast a story about South Korean prisoners escaping from their transport van.
