Chapter 214 Jin So-eun-2
Suddenly, the words her biological older brother Jin Jeong-gun had spoken earlier came to mind.
‘You stupid girl. Do you finally understand that being kind alone accomplishes nothing? Look at that. Thanks to you, those who lived in luxury without entering the mountains are now laughing at you!’
Jin So-eun suddenly recalled that moment.
The moment she had been chosen to go into the mountains with her grandfather…
When none of the four siblings, including Jin So-eun, volunteered to go with him, her grandfather Jin Samong sighed with disappointment.
So Jin So-eun, without even realizing it, had raised her hand alone.
‘I’ll go, Grandfather.’
She hadn’t done it for some grand purpose like reviving Natural Law.
She simply felt sorry to see the disappointed look on her grandfather’s face.
But then…
This was the result.
Because of that, she had been stuck in the mountains for fifteen years, barely managing to emerge into the world, only to find herself drifting around so pitifully in that world she had finally come out into.
All she could do was laugh.
It was utterly disheartening.
It was then.
Jin Gye-gun suddenly said to the young masters.
“Come on, come on! Aren’t you bored staying inside all the time? How about we go take a boat ride now?”
For the people of Gwangju, who lived alongside the ever-flowing waters of the Jukgang River, boating was an extremely commonplace activity.
For the children of the wealthy, the size and splendor of their boats often became a measure of their pride.
