(Episode 44)
It sure is not easy to earn money.
It's cold.
You're feeling under the weather.
You should've bundled up.
Go home. I'll give out the rest.
Gosh, don't.
It must've been so hard for you.
Just giving out a few flyers is so difficult.
But you've been working on top of doing the house chores.
You must've been struggling all alone.
Thinking about that made me feel bad.
I was too focused on my own struggles...
that I couldn't see how hard it was for you.
I'm... I'm sorry.
And thank you.
Mother.
Gosh, I'm fine.
Go home, okay?
That brat.
Come and check out the grand opening promotion.
Hello, a new supermarket just opened.
Come and check out the grand opening promotion.
Hey, wait up.
- A new supermarket just opened. - Wait up!
Come and check out the grand opening promotion.
Nam Gu got into a car accident?
Shouldn't we visit Nam Gu?
Goodness. Then we'd have to see Ms. Na too.
Will you be okay with that?
I'd do anything to avoid seeing her.
She is Cho Hee's mother-in-law, so we can't avoid her forever.
Nam Gu is injured.
But it's not like he's hospitalized.
Come on. I'm sure Cho Hee is taking good care of him.
This isn't good. I should go see him.
Wait, Jang Geum! Don't go alone.
Who knows what Ms. Na will say to you?
You should take Bo Ri.
What about you? We should all go together, then.
Why should all of us go there together?
Listen. I don't want to visit that family ever again.
I'll go with you, Mom.
I'll be worried if you go there alone.
Hi, Mom.
You're on your way to my place now?
Now is not the best time.
Is it your mother?
Yes. She wants to visit because she's worried about Nam Gu.
Tell her to come.
Okay, I'll see you later.
I was too embarrassed to face her,
but I should see her and reconcile with her.
Let's pick up some fruit on our way home.
Okay, Mother.
Why did you do that, Mom?
Where would you work on this cold day?
Goodness, it's okay.
I got it done quicker than I thought thanks to Cho Hee's help,
and I got paid for the work I did today.
For the first time in my life, I earned money on my own.
But I can't spend this money.
I should frame this and hang it or something.
Mom.
Why do you look like you're about to burst into tears?
Aren't you happy that your mother is healthy enough to earn money?
Mom, please.
You've never even done any housework your whole life.
But you went out to earn money on this cold day.
Just think about how Nam Gu and I must feel right now!
Get some rest, Mother. I'll make your bed for you.
It's okay. Your mother will be here soon.
We should get ready to welcome her.
Oh, Mother is coming?
Yes, she wanted to visit because she's worried about you.
I see.
Is she here already?
Go and see.
Aren't you cold?
My goodness.
Eui Kyung.
What's up? You didn't even call.
If I let this day go by,
I wouldn't be able to muster up the courage again,
and I'd be too ashamed to face you at work.
Let's go. We'll talk outside.
Ms. Seo.
I'm sorry, Ms. Seo. I'm such a horrible person.
Get up, Eui Kyung. Let's talk outside.
Eui Kyung.
I was the one who lost the diamond ring.
I'm sorry I couldn't tell you the truth right away.
The moment I heard I'd have to pay for the ring,
I got so scared.
Yes, the person who put the ring in your drawer...
It was me. I did it.
I thought everything would be okay if the ring was found.
Then I saw your resignation letter in your drawer and...
You saw my resignation letter?
Yes. I was so worried,
thinking that you'd quit.
It's all my fault. I'm really sorry, Ms. Seo.
Who's here?
Well, it sounds like Cho Hee's colleague is here.
Why would her colleague visit her at home on the weekend?
That I'm not sure.
Gosh, I'm getting so curious.
I wonder why she's crying.
Eui Kyung. That's enough, please.
I'm fully aware that I did such a horrible thing.
It all happened because of my fault.
But you took responsibility for everything...
and was going to pay for the ring with your severance pay.
That's why your husband worked as a designated driver.
What did you just say?
Mother.
What she said just now.
Is it all true?
Is it true?
Hey.
Is what I just heard all true?
What's wrong with her? Why is she crying?
Don't be so nosy.
I couldn't help but notice it.
Right, Ri An loves jangjorim. I forgot to bring it.
Ri An loves jangjorim?
Yes. You didn't know?
Are you here to visit Ri An's family by any chance?
Yes. Ri An is my granddaughter. Who are you?
So you almost had to quit because you were asked...
to pay for the ring that went missing at your work.
And that is why Professor Kang worked as a designated driver...
and got hurt?
Mom, calm down and hear me out.
You stay out of this.
Cho Hee, can you not talk? Why are you all quiet?
Did you send my son out there...
to earn money to clean up the mess...
that you made?
You must be determined to get my son killed or something.
It wasn't her fault. It was my idea.
Be quiet! I told you to keep your mouth shut.
Mom!
What? Did I say something wrong?
Gosh, Cho Hee's family is here.
Should I let them in or not? Darn it.
Seok Gu, you are home. Why didn't you get the door?
Ri An's grandmother is here.
Hello, Seok Gu.
It's been a while, Seok Gu.
Hello.
What's going on?
Are Auntie and Cho Hee not home yet?
Hey!
Hello, Ms. Na.
Nam Gu, how are you feeling?
Oh, I'm...
I'm glad you're here.
You should take your daughter.
Sorry? What do you mean?
Cho Hee.
Mom, you should leave.
Bo Ri, take Mom home.
You get out too. Get out of this house at once.
Mom.
Cho Hee, what is going on?
Why is your mother-in-law so angry?
Mom.
Your daughter almost got my son killed.
She makes me shudder, and I refuse to live with her.
So take her. Leave with her at once.
Cho Hee, all your belongings will be sent to you, so get out now.
I can't even stand the sight of you.
Mom, please.
That's enough, Mom. You're being too harsh on Cho Hee.
She didn't do anything wrong.
Shut it, you two.
Ms. Na.
What?
Are you done talking?
What if I am done?
What is going on?
Maybe I shouldn't have brought them in.
Auntie Pa Ran.
What? Sorry, Ri An. Keep on studying.
Don't mind the adults.
Go on and study.
Goodness. I took Cho Hee's side to stop my mother.
But strictly speaking, Cho Hee is the problem.
Whenever there's a problem, it's all because of Cho Hee.
What did my sister do?
Why must you blame her and say that she's the problem?
She is the problem.
The problem began with her.
Gosh, I can't believe this.
And Cho Hee is your sister-in-law. Have some manners.
"Manners"? Goodness.
Look who's talking. Where are your manners?
I'm way older than you.
Then act your age. Act like a real adult.
Being undereducated is nothing to show off!
What? "Undereducated"?
That's rich coming from someone without a high school diploma.
Come on.
Sure, I don't have a high school diploma,
but I'm not rude and brash like you.
What? Hey, in-law!
What? My old in-law.
Darn it.
You are out of line.
Why would you say Cho Hee is responsible for Nam Gu's accident?
And why must you blame everything on Cho Hee?
Don't you know how hard she works...
to support you and your family?
Mom.
To support us?
She thinks she can boss us around just because she earns money.
She caused trouble at work and made my son clean up the mess.
Is that how she "supports" her husband's family?
- Ms. Na. - What?
Mom, please just leave. This is my problem.
I'll take care of it.
Why can't you say anything?
Why do you always say it's your fault?
You always say sorry to them,
and they think it's your fault even when you did nothing wrong!
Mom.
Let's talk about exactly what happened.
I understand Nam Gu got hurt in an accident,
but why is it your fault?
Who should be apologizing to whom?
What do you say, Ms. Na?
I'm sorry, Mother. It's my fault. I'm really sorry.
Hey! Why are you saying sorry?
You're not the one who should be apologizing.
Mom, let's just go. You can't get through to these people.
Yes, Bo Ri. Take Mom and go home.
Come on, Mom.
So many misfortunes have happened since she married my son.
Our family went bankrupt,
and my husband, who was perfectly healthy, passed away,
and even my son nearly lost his life.
Goodness. I should've never let them get married...
even if it'd cost me my life.
That is my biggest regret.
Your family going bankrupt...
and even the passing of Nam Gu's father...
are all Cho Hee's fault?
Are you blaming everything on Cho Hee?
Please calm down, Mother.
This is all because I'm incompetent. I'm sorry.
How could you take your wife's side right now?
She'll get one of us killed at this rate!
When a woman gets her husband killed,
her daughter follows the same fate.
I'm really worried now.
Mother, that's enough.
By that logic,
the same goes for you. Am I wrong?
What? What did you say?
Based on what you just said,
we're in the same boat.
We both got our husbands killed.
My gosh, I can't believe this!
If that is...
what you've been thinking of Cho Hee for all these years,
then I will take my daughter. Let's go!
Gosh, Mom! Why are you being like this?
This is my home. Where would I go?
You fool! Are you going to keep putting up with this?
You don't lack anything.
Why would you put up with them treating you like this? Why?
- Mom. - Had I known...
that you'd have to put up with this,
I would've never let you marry Nam Gu.
Had I known you'd live like this!
- Mom! - Mother!
- My gosh.
- Mom. - Mother.
Please.
Please stop!
All of you. Please stop.
(Hanbit Villa)
Nam Gu, what is this mess?
Cho Hee, what is this?
I'm sorry, Bo Ri.
How are you feeling, Mother?
Mom, are you sure you don't need to see a doctor?
Let's go home.
Kang Rim is on his way. He'll be here soon.
- Let's just go home now. - Mom, please.
Unbelievable.
Both she and I got our husbands killed?
I'm still mourning my husband.
How dare she accuse me of having the same cursed fate?
Come on, Mom. You crossed the line first.
Strictly speaking, you two are in the same boat.
Hey, how could you say that to your mother?
What I mean is... You said some things you shouldn't have said.
Mom.
What?
I'm really disappointed in you.
"Disappointed"?
Professor Kang, even you are being like this to me?
Nam Gu.
I was always proud of having a mother like you,
but I have a lot on my mind right now.
You were always elegant and graceful. What happened to you?
Apologize to my mother-in-law when she pulls herself together.
What happened today...
You're clearly in the wrong.
Nam Gu. How could you...
And you need to apologize to Cho Hee as well.
Working as a designated driver was my idea, not hers.
What?
She's suffered a lot because of my incompetence.
You know that very well.
I really didn't want to embarrass her again,
but I can't even face her right now...
because I'm utterly humiliated and upset.
Gosh, my goodness.
I'm mortified...
to death.
Professor Kang.
Kang Rim, when did you get here?
Just now.
Kang Rim, let's go home.
Cho Hee, what is wrong with you?
Kang Rim.
If you two are having problems, keep them to yourselves.
Why did you have to let things get to this?
That's enough.
She says she'll stay here and keep putting up with this.
There's no point in talking to her.
Mom!
Let's go, Kang Rim.
Gosh, I'm so upset.
Hey, wait.
And you, Nam Gu. I'm really disappointed in you.
Mother! Kang Rim! Bo Ri...
I'll go talk to them.
They're all gone.
What about Professor Kang?
He followed Ms. Oh out.
Cho Hee is in the living room.
Cho Hee is the one who should leave.
Why did my son follow her out?
Mom, calm down already.
How can I calm down right now?
What about my mom?
I saw her off.
Honey.
You two should go and talk to her.
I tried to make her feel better, but it didn't work.
I'll head upstairs, then.
Is this apartment really cursed or something?
Ri An, that must've been really scary for you.
It's all my fault, isn't it?
Ri An, what are you talking about? It is not your fault.
Don't think like that.
I'll get it all sorted out so it won't stress you again.
Dad, it's my fault that you got hurt.
No, not at all. It was just an accident.
No, Ri An. It is not your fault at all.
If I didn't have to attend the academy in Gangnam...
Sweetheart, it must've been so stressful for you.
I'm sorry I didn't know you were under so much stress.
Here.
- It looks delicious. - Honey.
- Yes. - I'm visiting Ye Na's place later,
so I won't be home.
Ye Na's place? Why?
Ye Na's mom invited us to celebrate Ye Na winning the contest.
But the results haven't been announced yet.
That's right. And Ri An gets better grades.
Ri An beat her last time too.
She did?
I suppose Ye Na wasn't feeling the greatest that day.
Ye Na goes to the US every year to study English.
There's no way Ri An will beat her.
True. It's hard to beat someone who studied English abroad.
If Cho Hee's daughter wins the contest,
I'll eat my hat.
I know Ri An will win.
Even last night, I prayed that Ri An will win the contest.
Sa Rang, do not even bring up Ri An's name in front of me.
Why aren't you saying anything?
Because I can't promise you that.
Why can't you?
It's a promise that I can't keep. That's why.
What?
My gosh, Sa Rang. You are a true friend.
You're so awesome.
Try the kimchi stew. It's good.
My, this stew is delicious.
The broth is amazing.
- Don't eat it. - Goodness.
Ms. Seo is taking the day off?
Yes, she called in and said...
she needed to take the day off.
She rarely misses work.
I wonder what's going on.
Is something going on with her family again?
Or maybe she's just angry that she was reprimanded...
with a pay cut.
Professor Kang is on sick leave. What's going on?
Is he ill?
Sun Hae, I have to deal with some stuff now.
Let's talk later.
Okay.
(Assistant Professor Choi Sun Hae)
Yes, come in.
Professor Choi, I'm here to submit the assignment.
You can give it to Dong Ha.
(Hankang University Law School)
Seul A.
I'll be off, then.
Okay, thank you.
No problem.
Did you two fight?
No, we didn't.
I sensed some tension between you two.
Honey, I'll go see my mom.
What? I'll go with you.
You want to come too?
It's okay. I can go alone.
I told you. I owe Mother an apology.
And we must get through this together,
as a married couple.
Honey.
And I've fully recovered.
Look.
I'm totally fine now.
What? Where did they go?
Mom, calm down. Gosh!
You know where Ms. Oh's store is, right?
Lead the way.
Why would you go there, Mom?
What do you think? I need to bring your brother home.
Come on. Lead the way.
Mom, seriously. Why are you being like this?
Lead the way. Now!
(The All-Round Wife)
Do you have some time next week?
Next week? Why?
Why did she have to show up right at that moment?
That must've been so shocking for her.
How could he do this to me?
Nam Gu, did you mean what you said earlier?
Mom, let me explain.
I will earn money so I can brag about it.
Good luck with your interview.
Easy-peasy.
