How could you do such a thing?

What?

- What did I do? / - How could you

ask for money in return for raising your child?

I know she's adopted,

but you are her foster mother.

How could you do that?

Mr. Kang.

Out of all people, how could her mother do that?

Just put yourself in Secretary Kim's shoes.

Director Wang's parents

barely approved their marriage.

Don't you even care about Secretary Kim?

Hey.

What do you think you are to push me around?

Are you my husband or what?

You're just a driver. How dare you yell at me?

Whether I ask for money or not,

whether I try to sell off my daughter or not,

Why does it matter to you? Who do you think you are?

- Me? / - Yes, you!

Tell me. Who do you think you are?

I'm...

I'm...

Mr. Kang.

Mom.

What is this about?

Mr. Kang.

Tell me

what this is about.

Mom.

The price for raising me?

Don't tell me that

you demanded money from Ms. Oh.

Well, Secretary Kim.

Why? What's wrong with it?

I put my effort into feeding you,

dressing you and raising you.

I won't marry you off for free.

Plus, that family is rich.

They can afford to pay me.

Did I say something wrong?

Ma'am, you really shouldn't do this.

My goodness. What do you think you are?

Who are you to stick your nose into this?

Who are you to step in like this?

Tell me. Who are you to her?

Mom.

Mr. Kang, please leave for now.

I'll call you later.

- Gosh. / - Let's go in first.

My gosh, I can't believe this.

Gosh, seriously.

Mom.

Did you really say that to Ms. Oh?

Tell me that you didn't.

He's mistaken, right?

It's not true, right?

Come on.

I didn't do anything wrong.

Mom.

You didn't

say that to her, right?

Why aren't you denying it?

I did.

I told her to pay me for raising you.

What about it?

Did you really say that to her?

How could you?

How could you do such a thing?

What do you mean?

Watch what you say to your mom.

I raised you

despite our financial condition.

Were you going to

leave me and Miran behind

and enjoy all the luxury by yourself?

Mom.

Listen carefully.

If you're going to marry him,

find a place for us to live

or take us with you.

Otherwise, I'll never approve of this marriage.

Do you understand?

Even Mr. Kang is concerned about me.

How could you do this to me as my mom?

Okay, I won't marry him.

Are you satisfied?

What?

All right, don't marry him.

Right, don't marry him

and support me and Miran all your life.

Okay?

Goodness.

How could she do this to me?

I'm sorry, Doran.

It's all my fault.

It's all because you have a terrible father.

I can't believe that

she told you to pay for raising her daughter.

You build more affection from raising your child.

What kind of a mother is she?

Are you exaggerating this by any chance?

What are you talking about?

Do you think I'm lying or something?

I'm just asking because it's too outrageous.

But I can't believe she demanded

the average cost of childrearing in 2017.

Mom, did she really say that?

She really did.

Are you suspecting me?

You all can't believe, can you?

If you can't believe me,

go ahead and talk to that woman yourself.

I've never heard of this in dramas either.

We must stop this marriage.

Aside from everything else,

she doesn't know whom her real parents are.

I can't approve of this marriage.

I'm home.

Daeryuk, have a seat.

What is this about?

Did something happen again?

You should reconsider

your marriage with Secretary Kim.

It's all been decided. Why are you like this again?

Did something happen

with Doran's mother today?

Don't be surprised.

Her mother isn't her real parent.

She's an adopted child.

I'm already aware of that.

What? Did you know about it?

Really?

Yes, I heard it directly from Doran.

She recently told me

her late father raised her like a real child.

So you still want to marry her

despite knowing all of this?

Yes, is there any problem with it?

Of course, there is.

Mother. Honey.

Say something!

I get that you're crazy in love with her

but how could you think of marrying an orphan?

Besides, Do you know what her mother told me?

If we want this marriage,

she wants us to pay her for raising Secretary Kim.

Don't be ridiculous.

No matter how much you hate her,

you shouldn't be like this.

I'll go upstairs.

Look at him. Hey!

She really said that to me.

Your girlfriend's mom actually said that to me.

It wasn't me who said that!

What am I supposed to do with him?

I'll go talk with Secretary Kim's mother tomorrow.

We aren't going to be in-laws with her

so there's no need for you to see her.

Daeryuk is being resolute. What else can we do?

We never considered Secretary Kim's family anyway.

We approved their marriage because we like her.

But this is ridiculous.

She was raised from such a lousy family.

I'll never have her as my daughter-in-law.

Daeryuk, we need to talk.

I don't want to talk

about the marriage with you.

Daeryuk.

There's always a reason

when the elders are against your marriage.

Her family background is important

because marriage isn't just about you two.

Marrying a wrong person will lead to problems.

When that happens, you and Secretary Kim

will be left with great pain.

You must be blinded

by love right now.

But she isn't the one for you.

Is it because she's an adopted child?

Or is it because

her mother asked for money?

Well, right.

Are you okay with it?

You don't know what family she's from, so how...

What does that matter

when I love her?

I know what kind of person she is,

how hard she has been living

and how good-natured she is.

I know it all, so what do I need more?

She lost her real parents when she was a baby

but that's not her fault.

I'm disappointed in you.

How could you...

I'll pay her

if her mother demands money for raising her.

You are completely out of your mind.

How could you be so mean to your mom?

Do you not care about me at all?

Do you not care about how I feel?

After everything I've done to raise you.

You mean so much to me

so how could you betray me like this?

You betrayer...

Mom...

I can't believe this.

Honey, calm down.

Daeryuk said

he'd pay her mother to marry her.

He doesn't care whether she's an adopted child.

He said he's disappointed in me

for nitpicking at the fact that she was adopted.

He doesn't feel like my son.

I don't think he is.

Here.

Honey.

We were so happy

when we gave birth to Daeryuk.

Since he was little, he was healthy and smart.

He was good at playing soccer and the piano.

He was good at studying too.

I don't even wish that she was from a rich family.

But we should know what her family is like.

Secretary Kim...

What if she's a daughter of a criminal?

What if her parents were evil?

Just the idea of it gives me the chills.

I'm so embarrassed that

I can't even tell anyone about this.

How...

How am I to sit in a wedding hall

with a woman who wants money for raising a child?

Honey...

Am I that wrong?

Say something, honey.

Am I wrong?

It's so embarrassing.

Calm down now.

Sir.

Why are you out so late?

It's quite cold.

I was trying to cool off my headache.

Is it about Director Wang's marriage?

My wife is strongly against it

since Secretary Kim was adopted.

I wonder why someone would abandon

a pretty and kind girl like Secretary Kim.

I'm sure her parents had a hard time as well.

The problem is,

I don't know what her parents were like.

Sleep well, Mr. Kang.

Yes, sir.

I'm not Doran's father.

I don't even know who she is.

Rather than living as a murderer's daughter,

it'd be best if she lived as an orphan.

Doran did nothing wrong.

Doran is completely innocent.

Please accept

my poor Doran.

Mom.

Even after I'm married,

I'll still go to work

and earn money

to support you and Miran.

So please don't say such things again.

It really upset me.

You brat.

Why do you think I said that?

If you marry and move out,

Miran and I will be left here alone.

I got scared and worried about how we'd get by.

I didn't think that I'd marry so soon.

But Mom.

I love Director Wang.

I don't want to leave him.

I want to marry Director Wang.

But if you do this,

what am I supposed to do?

After your dad died,

I relied on you like my husband.

Thinking about you leaving us after getting married...

It's like the sky is falling down on us.

I'm scared.

How am I supposed to live

once you're married?

I'm sorry, Mom.

But even after I get married,

I will never forget

you or Miran.

So Mom.

Please let me go.

Honey.

Dongcheol.

Why did you die so early?

How am I supposed to live now?

Mom.

My wife

suffered a huge shock after meeting your mother.

The same goes for me too.

I apologize.

It won't happen again.

It's just another thing we need to solve.

What I want to know is

what kind of people

your birth parents were.

My birth parents?

Tell me all you know.

I apologize.

I also don't know

what kind of people they were

or who my birth parents were.

Okay.

All I know is that my late father

brought me home and raised me.

Sorry for asking something so painful.

It's okay.

But it's something that we deem important.

Of course.

We're done. You can go.

Okay.

Bye.

Father. What did you talk about?

You should go and comfort her.

I shouldn't have mentioned her birth parents.

Did you mention her birth parents?

Director.

It's okay.

If you want to cry,

you can.

I only know

the parents who raised me.

Until now, I thought the parents

who raised me were my birth parents.

Others may speak ill of my mother,

but to me

she is the only mom I have.

I resent her so much

but she's still my mom.

Doran.

The people who raised you are your parents.

I don't care who your birth parents are.

So don't cry.

It's okay.

Why is Madam Park meeting Doran's mother?

What if things get worse?

Madam Park.

Do you disapprove of Secretary Kim?

Why would I disapprove of her?

I'm always thankful for her.

Why?

Are you afraid that Daeryuk and Secretary Kim

won't get married in the end?

Yes.

If they were to break up over Secretary Kim's mother,

it would be heartbreaking.

That's why I'm going to see the woman.

You don't have to worry about that.

Madam Park.

Do you mean that?

Yes.

In return, you can't tell anyone that

I came here today.

Eunyeong can't find out.

Yes, ma'am.

I understand.

Are you in?

Is Secretary Kim's mother in?

Why did that man come back here?

Is he going to complain again?

What is it now?

Madam Park

is here.

Who is here?

I'm Wang Daeryuk's grandmother.

How do you do?

Oh, yes.

How do you do, ma'am?

What made you come all the way over here?

I heard that you were unwell.

I'm in and out of consciousness.

But I'm doing fine today.

I came here to ask you

something about our children.

Okay. Please go ahead and ask.

My daughter-in-law says that

Secretary Kim was adopted.

Is it true that you are not her birth mother?

Yes.

It's not that I gave birth to her

but I raised her since she was a newborn baby.

So I'm practically her mother.

Then as her mother,

you said you wouldn't marry her

unless we pay you for raising her.

Did you really say that?

Yes, I did.

I couldn't believe my ears.

In my whole life,

I've never seen a mother who asks

for what went into raising her daughter.

Is it true

that you won't marry your daughter

unless we pay you for raising her?

I was just saying that.

It's not that I deposited the money with you.

I wouldn't force you to pay for that.

But as you can see,

this is how I live.

Doran is the breadwinner of our family.

I depend on her to get by.

If Doran gets married all of a sudden,

I don't even know how I'm going to support myself.

When I was seven months pregnant,

my late husband brought in Doran

and asked me to raise her.

She's not my baby

nor my husband's.

Despite being poor,

we managed to send Doran to college.

We just started making a decent living.

But she wants to get married all of a sudden.

I will just lose everything.

I can't do anything but cry.

That's just what I meant

when I talked to Ms. Oh.

I know it was a bit too much.

I'm sorry.

Is this enough

for you to accept

your daughter's marriage without worries.

It's 300,000 dollars.

What? My gosh.

Please take this money

and never ask my future granddaughter-in-law,

Doran for money

and cause her trouble ever again.

Can you promise?

Of course.

If I had enough money to live by,

why would I give Doran a hard time?

Then

please give me

a written promise for that.

A written promise?

Madam Park, thank you. Please take care.

Goodbye.

Bye.

I can't believe this!

The money wouldn't go anywhere, would it?

One, ten, hundred, thousand...

This is really 300,000 dollars.

I have 300,000 dollars.

Gosh, my heart is pounding.

300,000 dollars?

Give them the money back right now.

- No. / - If you take the money,

it will put Doran in an awkward position.

Just return the money.

No. I won't.

You just died and left me alone.

Why are you telling me to return the money?

I will never do that.

No!

Mother, I'm home.

Aren't you busy now?

No. I went to the association meeting

and was on my way back to the office.

Why? What's the matter?

I just met

Secretary Kim's mother.

Did you...

Yes. I gave her money.

She really did live in a pitiful living condition.

I guess she really had to say such a thing.

I just gave her money

to make Daeryuk and Secretary Kim feel comfortable.

Okay. I'm glad you did.

Don't tell Eunyeong about this though.

Only the three of us,

you, me, and Secretary Kim's mother know of this.

Okay?

Yes. By the way,

we don't even know who her birth parents are.

I'm not sure if we can approve this.

A lotus flower blooms in the mud.

Under a mother like that,

Secretary Kim grew up to be a decent person.

It means she's naturally a good girl.

I know.

It's her parents' fault to abandon her,

not Secretary Kim's.

Exactly.

And Daeryuk is

unlikely to give up on her.

Let's stop giving them a hard time

and set the wedding date.

Okay. Let's do that.

What?

Honey, when did you come home?

What are you two planning on

without me?

We're not planning on anything.

We were just saying that we should

marry Daeryuk with a good grace.

He's right, Eunyeong.

Now that they are getting married,

let's just approve of it with blessings.

If you keep opposing their marriage,

they will hold a grudge for their whole lives.

I'm telling you again.

I will never approve of this marriage.

I'm sure he will regret it later.

Eunyeong.

What use is it for us to oppose the marriage?

Daeryuk wants to do it anyway.

Daeryuk is not my son.

He's your grandson and your son.

So you two can take care of it.

I will stay out of it.

I can't believe this.

So are they approving their marriage?

Mother, are you going out?

Yes. Ms. Cho.

- Yes. / - Call Mr. Kang.

Yes, ma'am.

Hello, it's me.

Me?

I'm making red bean soup for my friends.

Your mother-in-law is coming too.

She left home just now.

Just now?

Gosh, this will get soggy.

The rest of them are almost here.

Mom, I'm going out.

- Okay. / - Mom.

Your soup is not the problem right now.

Things have turned upside down here again.

Mother was arguing with

Father and Grandmother just now before she left.

Why? What happened?

They already approved of Daeryuk's marriage.

My gosh.

Something must've happened

when Eunyeong went to meet her in-law.

What? You know it right away.

You know what?

Secretary Kim's mother told Mother

that she wouldn't marry her daughter

unless they pay for raising her.

What? Secretary Kim's mother

wouldn't marry her daughter

unless your family pays for raising her?

That's ridiculous.

What kind of mother does that?

Are you sure she's her real mother?

You're amazing!

You always say the right things!

Mom. You know what?

Secretary Kim was adopted!

Adopted? Was she?

Yes.

Mother opposed their marriage again.

But Grandmother and Father approved of it.

This is devastating for Mother right now.

I feel so bad for Eunyeong.

Hongsil, what are you talking about?

The secretary

who's dating Daeryuk is adopted?

What? And her mother

asked Eunyeong to pay for raising her daughter?

How much?

Daya, I'll call you later. I'm hanging up.

How did you guys get in?

That's obvious.

Your son opened the door for us.

I see.

I'm not going to take long. Stay nearby.

Yes, Ms. Oh.

It's no one else but Eunyeong.

Do you think she'll let anyone marry her son?

I heard her mom also asked for money.

In my opinion, this marriage is already over.

This marriage is never going to happen.

But doesn't Madam Park need that secretary?

Then, won't Eunyeong's husband allow her?

Although Eunyeong won't want their marriage,

isn't her husband a very devoted son?

Hongsil, what do you think?

I'll bet 50 dollars on the side that it won't happen.

Then, I'll bet 50 dollars on that it will.

What about you, Hongsil?

That's enough.

Are you watching a basketball game or what?

Eunyeong is about to faint.

I'm here. The door was opened.

Eunyeong!

Have a seat, we were about to begin.

Okay.

Sorry, I'm late.

That's fine.

We thought you couldn't come.

What are you talking about?

We heard everything.

That Secretary Kim is

a foster child.

My goodness, and her mom asked for money?

How much did she want?

Have you ever heard of anything like that?

What?

You are so tactless.

Don't you get it?

What I'm saying is

that she is an awful person.

Got it?

I see.

She's so terrible.

Hey! Is this some kind of a joke to you?

The fact that I'm about to become in-laws with

that terrible lady entertains you?

No, that's not it.

We just feel bad for you.

Who did you hear that from?

Pardon?

Hongsil.

Did Daya tell you?

And Did you tell them?

No, Eunyeong.

I didn't mean to...

Na Hongsil.

Does Daya always report you about my family?

It makes sense for Daya. She's immature.

But aren't you supposed to

teach her not to talk freely about our family?

I can't stand this.

Eunyeong.

Have a seat.

That's right. Settle down.

Have some red bean soup.

It's been a while since you had her soup.

I don't want to hear it!

Isn't that Mr. Kang?

It's not even a volunteer day but I get to see him.

So lucky!

Hold on.

Who is this?

Guess who?

Hongju.

Ta-da.

Did I surprise you?

Wouldn't you be?

But, Mr. Kang.

We're not at a church, yet we run into each other

coincidentally.

This is very great.

It's chilly out, go inside.

Really? I'm not feeling cold at all.

You seem bored, I'll entertain you.

I'm not bored at all.

Don't worry, and go inside.

I know you want me here, don't pretend otherwise.

What is that?

My, Mr. Kang.

This scarf looks good on you.

You look dandy.

Did you buy that?

You are fashionable.

No, this was a gift.

A gift?

Who gave it to you?

Why would you ask?

Was it a male?

Or a female?

What?

Mr. Kang.

Yes.

- Mr. Kang. / - Yes, Ma'am.

- Let's go home, hurry. / - Yes.

Eunyeong, why are you leaving so soon?

Stay a bit more.

No, I'm leaving.

Why?

Who gave that scarf to Mr. Kang?

Guys don't give each other a gift like that.

It must be a lady.

Who could that be? Who gave that to him?

Who?

(The next episode will continue soon.)
