"The rotten little bastard! Ought to be fried to death in shit-water! And he dares threaten me?"

Han Deogim was in a real rage.

It was Madam Han who had changed the shitty nappies of the man who had just threatened her over the telephone.

Her unnie Han Okja, always left to look after the children alone because of a businessman husband.

Each time another child was born she went to her with the best seaweed for a new mother.

Whenever she had time she came and went, kept her company in talk, and watched the children grow along with her.

How great the happiness had been, changing the nappies of the little ones.

Her unnie Okja clung to him and stopped him time and again, but by then he had ceased to give his wife's words any ear.

Han Okja, who trusted the old goat and leaned on him to the end and waited on him without a word.

It was about then that she was parted from her youngest son Ha Donghwi, both of them still living.

The youngest son, the one of all her children her unnie cherished above the rest.

Han Deogim had watched the whole of that house's affairs.

When her unnie Okja died she cut the bond with the Ha house.

And after long years the bond has come round again.

Thanks to Ha Tae-ung, young and bold with it!

Han Deogim has already had her heart…
