Chapter 28 – The Lazy Man's Worries (3)

“Usually men ride horses. How many times have you seen a man riding alone in a carriage?”

"hmm……."

Wisanho thought that Jang Il's words made sense.

If you were of high status, you would prefer a palanquin over a carriage, and if you were going a long distance, you would almost certainly be accompanied by an attendant.

There was one person riding in that large carriage, and if it was a man, it was an unusual sight.

“Who is riding it?”

“Confucius.”

The coachman whispered softly inside.

“That beggar just now seems to be Jang Il, the beggar of openness.”

“Did you notice and follow me?”

“It seems like a coincidence.”

After a while, a soft voice was heard from inside the carriage.

“I heard that Sogeulgae Jang-il rarely leaves Gaebong. He also has a reputation for being a fox. Do you think someone like that would have met us without any trouble?”

“One, he really seemed clueless. If the opening had moved, it wouldn’t have moved in this way.”

“I see.”

The voices inside the carriage died down.

The coachman drove his horse slowly so that his master could think inside the carriage.

“I guess that’s fine. Just in case, instruct them to erase as many traces as possible from Infinity.”

“Understood, Your Majesty.”

The coachman nodded and asked cautiously again as he continued to drive the horse.

“But, Confucius.”

“Tell me.”

“Don’t you feel sorry about abandoning everything you’ve built up over the years?”

“It’s a shame.”

Although he said it was regrettable, his tone of voice did not show any sign of that.

“But what’s more unfortunate is losing everything while clinging to a small foundation that has already been built.”

“There weren’t any particular problems.”

“Everything is wrong when someone else interferes.”

The man's voice was cold.

“Throughout history, small ideals have often turned into big obstacles. In martial arts, the most important thing to watch out for is intervention with unknown intentions and masters whose identities are unknown. Even if I personally step forward and punish them, the situation will not recover. A master like that cannot have grown alone, and there must be someone behind him. So…….”

The voices heard slowly died down.

“It’s better to just let it go. It’s not a matter of winning or losing, it’s a matter of attracting attention or not.”

“Hmm, I see what you mean.”

But the coachman thought that the master riding behind him had too strong a fastidious disposition.

Usually, when an obstacle appears in front of you, you try to move it away, but doesn't his master just turn around when an obstacle appears?

“Do you think it’s excessive?”

“No.”

“Your brother has already achieved visible results. Even though he is lacking, I think your younger brother is also doing his part.”

“…….”

“The biggest problem is wasting time, time.”

“I will follow.”

The coachman drove the carriage silently without saying anything else. However, the person inside the carriage was still staring outside with sunken eyes.

'What is that guy's true identity?'

The top priority was to find out who the boy master was who suddenly appeared and ruined all the plans.

He thought that this might be a great obstacle to their great undertaking, so he began to write a letter to send to his family.

“Are you saying that you will rebuild the Holy Water Temple?”

Jin So-ah couldn't understand what Wi Yeon-ho was saying.

Doesn't the holy water market already exist?

So where are he and his sister?

“The Seongsujang is running well.”

“It must be an anonymous doctor.”

Jin So-ah's mouth was glued shut as if it had been glued to rice cake.

“No one would think of the place you are in as the old holy water place. Would anyone think of it as just a place where the descendants of those who used to live there live?”

“You are right.”

As Ha Dae-bong began to make a fuss, Wi Yeon-ho put strength into his shoulders and continued speaking.

“That’s just how people are. People become great and their scale grows, but when the scale grows, the people inside also seem great. No matter how great your medical skills are, it’s hard to get recognition if you look like you are now.”

“Hmm.”

Jinsoa nodded.

In that case, those who came to see them in the past in pursuit of the fame of the holy water market would often turn away after seeing their shabby appearance and young age.

“If we want to revive Seongsujang, we must start by putting up a sign in a large and beautiful place.”

“But I don’t have money.”

“Ugh.”

Wi Yeon-ho groaned at Ha Dae-bong's nagging.

“Hey, do you have any money saved up?”

“I am a salaried worker. On the outside, it may seem like I am making a lot of money through battlefields, but it is not me who is making the money, it is the battlefield owners. I am just a branch manager.”

“But I think you must have collected quite a lot?”

“When I take my own money, it’s called embezzlement in technical terms. In the usury business, trust is important. Trust with customers is important, but trust between employees is also important. If I had done something like that even once, I would be hanging by now.”

“……Is that usually called trust?”

“The meaning may be a little different, but please understand that it means that trust is just as important.”

Wi Yeon-ho looked at Ha Dae-bong with pitiful eyes. However, Ha Dae-bong was extremely upright.

“So, you’re saying you don’t have money to invest?”

“That’s something people don’t know. People like me think I make a lot of money, but in reality, I’m just building up my credit. I can make money later, but right now, it’s not easy to make money.”

“The clothes are high-end?”

“Imagine going to the battlefield to deposit your money, and seeing someone who looks very poor.”

It made sense.

“So, in the end, you’re saying you have no money?”

Wi Yeon-ho turned his head and looked at Jin So-ah. He knew very well that the situation was obvious.

“Okay.”

Wi Yeon-ho let out a deep sigh.

“But the above is a small threat.”

"huh?"

“Can you really revive the Holy Water Palace?”

“If you have money, there’s nothing you can’t do.”

“But I’m so young?”

"under?"

Wi Yeon-ho scolded Jin So-ah as if asking what she was talking about.

“You, have you seen the original building?”

“Yes, I saw it.”

“Did your father take care of all the patients who came there by himself?”

“……That’s not it.”

“Aren’t there other members of your assembly besides you and your sister?”

"you're right."

“You actually only have a few patients to see. I don’t expect great medical skills from a young person like you. You’re just… a signboard, to put it simply.”

“Hey, sign?”

“Actually, you’d be more efficient hanging on the front door than sitting in the examination room.”

“I think it would be a good idea to have the clinic outside the main gate.”

“Oh, that’s a good idea?”

Jin So-ah, who was watching the actions of Wi Yeon-ho and Ha Dae-bong, who were getting hit hard, let out a sigh.

“Even if it were possible, doesn’t that mean you don’t have money?”

“I have money.”

“You said that the money that the above group has is not enough.”

“That’s not what’s important. What’s important is your will.”

"yes?"

Wi Yeon-ho looked at Jin So-ah with sleepy eyes for a while before opening his mouth.

“Do you have the will to make Seongsujang the best member of the Central Plains again?”

“……I don’t think it was ever the best in the Central Plains?”

"anyway!"

“Of course there is!”

“No matter what hardships and trials come along?”

“As a man, you are born once and die twice! If I can be called the best doctor in the world, I am willing to endure any ordeal.”

"okay?"

Wi Yeon-ho smiled faintly.

“Bring me a pen and ink.”

At Wei Yanho's words, Ha Daebong asked his subordinate for some writing brush and ink. When the door opened and the writing brush and ink came in, Wei Yanho held out some paper.

“Okay, write it down.”

“……What are you talking about?”

“I, Jin So-ah, swear that from now on, I will only practice medicine as a doctor at Seongsujang and that I will follow the instructions of Seongsujang’s owner, Wi Yeon-ho.”

“Why, why is the above-mentioned So-hyeop the owner of Seongsujangju!”

Wi Yeon-ho said with a sullen face.

“Do you have money?”

"no."

“Is there a building?”

"no."

“Do you have any food to eat right now?”

"no."

Wi Yeon-ho laughed in vain.

“So you’re asking me to take you, a person with no money and no manners, and make you the owner of Seongsujang?”

“……That sounds like a very shameless thing to do.”

“No, thank goodness.”

Wi Yeon-ho clicked his tongue and pushed the paper in front of Jin So-ah again.

“To the outside world, you’ll be called the owner of Seongsujang. I know that if someone like me gets close to the doctor, only the eyes of the doctor will be harsh. But the money I make there is all mine.”

“Then what do I eat to live?”

Wi Yeon-ho turned his head and looked at Ha Dae-bong.

“What did you say?”

“I am a salaried worker.”

“Did you hear that?”

Jin So-ah rebelled with a blank expression.

“Are you asking me, a descendant of the Seongsujang, to work and receive a salary? And by building a new Seongsujang?”

"huh."

“Above, this doesn’t seem right.”

Jinsoah rebelled fiercely.

“Of course, I desperately want to succeed. I desperately want to revive Seongsujang. I desperately want to show my sister, who is trying to tie me down, that I can stand on my own. But that is only when I stand on my own.”

“Oh.”

Wi Yeon-ho nodded repeatedly as he watched Jin So-ah speak with her eyes full of enthusiasm.

“You’re a man.”

“You’re a man.”

It was as if I was watching a boy break out of his shell and become an adult right before my eyes.

“It’s so fresh.”

Wi Yeon-ho also agreed with Ha Dae-bong's words. That kind of appearance is something that only a boy of that age can show.

“I appreciate the offer, but I will find my own way. Doing as the above-mentioned suggestion suggests does not seem to be my path.”

Jin So-ah's eyes were full of gunfire.

This is a scene where you can feel the power of a prestigious medical school. Jin So-ah was suffering, but Jin Ye-ran's education was definitely raising her to be a doctor without any shortcomings.

“Well, okay.”

It's a very good decision.

Even Wi Yeon-ho acknowledged that a man must have that level of spirit.

However, passion is just passion.

“But… isn’t there one problem we need to solve before that?”

Wi Yeon-ho put his hand into his bosom, took out a piece of paper, and handed it to Jin So-ah.

Jin So-ah looked at the documents that Wi Yeon-ho handed her with a bewildered expression.

“What is this?”

“Proof of loan.”

"yes?"

Jin So-ah received the document with trembling hands. It was a document stating that Jin So-ah had previously signed a contract at a gambling house to repay the twenty nyang to Wi Yeon-ho.

“……The above small business?”

Wi Yeon-ho said, yawning.

“It’s a man’s way, a man’s way, and it’s all good. Then pay me back first.”

“…….”

Jin So-ah was someone who felt deep in her bones that life was a battle.
