Returner's Magic Laundry

Chapter 52

“Ah, Purum is your grandfather. Yes, I know.”

“I’m glad you remember. He ordered the laundry to leave the clothes… … I made a recommendation. ho ho ho.”

“Ah, your grandfather did a good job. If he’s come for that, he doesn’t have to.”

“No. Command… … No, it was recommended, but we were also curious. You get compliments.”

“Then you may be disappointed.”

I can’t, though.

“There is nothing wrong with what Mr. Baek said. He was a man who always treated people with kindness. That’s why I came all this way with a single word. Please take care of these clothes. If it’s okay, we’re thinking of entrusting the clothes with a contract. It’s not good to give our clothes to multiple people around. When one person does it, it is reliable and good.”

“Ah… … Yeah.”

“Since Mr. Baek lived in Gangnam and grew old, she wanted to live in the place where she lived as a child, so she moved to this neighborhood. That’s why your face has improved a lot.”

“… … .”

“But coming to this town, I can see why people like it so much. It is a cozy and warm neighborhood. Anyway, please take good care of these clothes. Laundry can be ordered by people who work, but I came here directly at the request of Mr. Baek.”

“Ah yes. Picking up the clothes is not a problem, but delivery will be a bit difficult since it is far away.”

“Don’t worry about that. Our knights will send you clothes.”

“Yeah… … Then I will clean it up.”

The ladies went out of the laundromat again, hurriedly got into their cars and set off.

The guests who were watching from the outside flocked to see what was going on.

“Who is Annam? They look just like rich wives, don’t they?”

“Oh, I left my clothes and left.”

“What, come all the way from Gangnam and drop off all your clothes. The movie Laundry must have been rumored. Isn’t that why you don’t take our clothes?”

“Is it possible? My best guests are the guests of this world building. All clothes entrusted to me are equally precious and should be treated with respect.”

“Oh my, it’s pretty. Now that winter is over, we will come to drop off our winter clothes.”

“Yes, thank you. Have a cup of coffee before you go.”

“It must be like that since I stopped. ho ho ho.”

As the guests returned, I twisted my body and sang a silent delight.

“Yes!!”

At this point, I started to wonder what Purum did when his grandfather, or teacher Baek, were young.

If I could move those wives by order, I think I would have done a pretty big job.

I couldn’t stand it because I was curious, but it was hard to go and ask.

‘Are you real estate? Did you say teacher, professor? no… … If I was a professor, I wouldn’t have made a lot of money. What? wonder.’

I looked at the clothes lying on one side.

Washing these clothes for just one year was sure to make a lot of money.

‘Still, the delivery has to go.’

Humming his hum, he pulled out the laundry cart again, packed his bags, and left the laundromat.

one year already.

Now, the uphill road looking up at the entrance of the town was familiar.

I opened my mouth wide and made a sound.

“Laundry~ Washing~”

Then, every once in a while, you hear the sound of a window opening, followed by locals carrying laundry.

Some even took food and not laundry and put it in my mouth.

The little boys in the neighborhood I got to know about greeted me by calling me by their respective titles, such as older brother or uncle.

All of a sudden, I was becoming another familiar landscape of this world-dong.

Then, from somewhere, the sound of a child’s whining and the mother’s scolding was heard.

“Oh, I hate it. I mean, this is good.”

“It’s dirty. you bought me a new one why is he like this You decided to throw it away! Don’t even suck it.”

“Oh, I don’t like it. I will have this.”

“Why is he like this today?”

A twisted doll was held in her child’s hand, and when her mother forcibly took it, she collapsed into her seat and burst into tears.

As I approached, the child’s mother made a bewildered face.

“Oh, Mr. Annam. Sorry. Is it noisy? I’m so stubborn about throwing away the doll because it’s old and worn out.”

The child’s mother is Kim Bong-suk, who works as a cashier at Purne Mart.

She was the face she saw every time she went to the mart, and she had a name tag on, so she knew her name.

Kim Bong-sook was famous in her neighborhood in a different sense.

Her husband’s injection is so famous that no one in the world knew about this child and her mother.

The police did not come to the scene once or twice because he fell asleep on the street, in a public phone booth, in front of someone else’s door, or in a public toilet if he drank alcohol.

How heartbroken Kim Bong-sook is, is there anyone who doesn’t know what’s inside of her?

The child sitting in the swarm was a five-year-old child named Yoo Jeong-ah.

She had occasionally seen her play with one of her dolls next to her mother at the grocery checkout.

It was also allowed by the owner of Fourne Mart Park because it was so bad.

“Can I talk to Jung-ah for a moment?”

“Yes, yes.”

I sat on one knee and made eye contact with Jung-ah.

Looking at her doll, it was old, and it looked dirty with indelible stains even after washing.

There were also mold marks, so it didn’t look good for hygiene.

“Jeong-ah, what’s this friend’s name?”

“… … four… … la.”

“buy it?”

“Come.”

“Oh, your last name is Oh. Osara. your name is pretty Jung-ah, do you want to keep being friends with him?”

“… … Yes, he is my friend.”

“Even if you wash it, it doesn’t get clean, and you keep putting it in your mouth, biting and sucking.”

Kim Bong-sook added an additional explanation.

Still, I’ve seen Jung-ah at her mart put her doll in her mouth and chew it.

“Jeong-ah, our Osara wants to take a bath. Did Jung-ah hear Sarah say too?”

Yoo Jung-ah hesitated for a moment, then nodded her head.

She couldn’t have said the doll, but the timid Jung-ah was a child she could admit to anything.

“Can Mister Sara give her a bath and take her to her Jeong-ah? She said Sarah really wants a bath today. She frowns because she hasn’t bathed her in 100 years. If Jung-ah doesn’t take a bath for a day, she smells.”

Yoo Jeong-ah hesitated for a while, and then she slowly nodded her head.

“It won’t take long. Perhaps by this evening she will be able to meet Sarah.”

“… … Really?”

Yoo Jung-ah slowly held out her doll to me and hid her face behind her mother’s legs.

I took the doll and got up.

“My Osara, can I wash it and return it to you? It’s probably better than running it in the washing machine at home. Wouldn’t it be okay to not throw it away if it was clean?”

“Yes, thank you. If it’s that doll, I never let go of it, but Annam is good at convincing the baby.”

“I used to be obsessed with one thing in the past. Then my father used to persuade me like this, wash me clean and give it to me.”

When I was young, my parents were too busy to play alone, so there were many times when I played with dolls as friends.

I was very obsessed with that doll.

Yoo Jung-ah thought that too.

“Then please. By the way, I have something to do laundry for my husband’s winter and spring suits. Would you like to go together for a while? It’s close to home.”

“Oh yeah? Then go with me.”

Together, she stopped by Kim Bong-suk’s house, waited outside, and received clothes.

“Jeong-ah, our Sarah is going to meet tonight. Are you going to take a clean shower as well?”

“… … Yeah.”

Yoo Jung-ah just smiled and looked up at her mother.

Her mother also smiled as if responding to her Yoo Jung-ah’s smile.

When she came down from town, her laundry was full.

“No, what kind of laundry do you have so much?”

“I guess it’s because the seasons have changed now.”

“I’m raking in money. Scrap it.”

“Hehe.”

Looking at the full laundry, I felt full even if I didn’t eat.

As she came down the crossroads, I heard someone hastily calling me.

“Mr. Annam!”

When I turned around, I saw Kim Dae-soon of Nara Bank running around in a uniform.

“Uh, hello. what are you doing I saw you at the bank yesterday too.”

I was still a regular customer of Kim Dae-soon.

“Last time, there was an accumulation-type fund. That three-year-old was a hit.”

“Oh, is it? Really?”

Of course he knew it was going to be a hit, but he pretended to be surprised.

We already knew that AG assets invested 2.5 billion won in ‘Tomorrow Communication’ and earned 100 billion won in profit.

I was still thinking of going to the bank to buy it back.

“How much will the proceeds be?”

“A whopping three hundred million.”

“Well… … It’s smaller than I thought. I guess I should have added more savings back then.”

In fact, it was more than expected.

“Anyway, everyone with this fund was a jackpot. I put it in and took it out once for performance.”

“Oh my, why did you do that?”

“Hey, I will. However, at that time, Annam gave me the fund, so I barely managed to make up for it. Our manager is very hungry. Oh, but are you going to buy it back? It is an open type, so you can buy it back.”

“Yeah. I want to buy it back.”

After all, mutual funds were a flashy fad at this time, and then they ran into a crisis.

Of course, it comes back to life after a few years, but that was something to think about then.

It was a fund that only had to lose money if it stayed longer.

“Then I will prepare the documents. Come to the bank later.”

“Yeah.”

“Oh, and can we do laundry with our bank uniform group?”

“of course! It makes sense.”

“We left it at the laundry upstairs, but I asked to change it right now. Annam deposits a lot in our country’s bank, and she plans to deposit the proceeds this time as well. ho ho ho.”

It was a high-end business.

“Yeah, it’s not like I’m going to be carrying around cash anyway.”

“Wow, really? It was just something I said. Thank you!”

“Then it’s a win-win for each other.”

“Yes, it is. ho ho ho. Thanks to Annam, my performance this month is also at the top.”

Dae-soon Kim was excited and returned home.

‘Only good things happen today, did you have a good dream yesterday?’

Or the ‘beginning of legend’ in the forest?

When I went back to the laundromat and opened the door, Kami jumped in first from where I was playing.

After going inside and organizing my clothes, I grabbed Cami and held her up.

“Kamiya, I am rich! Heh heh!”

I’m so glad I hugged Cami tightly and rubbed her face and started pushing my mouth away with her front paws.

The fur on her belly made her face feel more bubbly and softer.

When it seems that I don’t want to let go, Kami becomes impatient and turns into a liquid, escaping to the second floor.(Read more @ wuxiax.com)

“Cami! You can’t change here!”

“Hey!”

The answer is good.

She brushed off the tickling hoodie that stuck to her face, and ran her vacuum cleaner.

Because of her fur, she trained her to spend less time in her laundry.

Perhaps realizing my intentions, Cammy only used her laundry as an exit.

She mostly played with guests on the second floor or in the front garden.

She picked up Yoo Jung-ah’s doll from the corner of the laundry cart and placed it on the table.

When she sniffed it, she smelled stale.

She was a cloth doll about 30 cm tall, wearing blue suspenders and a white tee, and her reggae hair hanging long.

‘I have to tear the cotton off and wash it properly.’

Her white clothes had turned yellow, and her suspenders were very faded, and there were a lot of stains that couldn’t be removed easily.

‘First of all, this is going to take some time, so I’ll have to do it in the evening when there are no guests.’

She once pushed her doll to one side of the table, took the ledger and unfolded it.

The ledger was kept in a safe deep inside the two-story house.

In fact, there is still only a ledger in the safe.

Not yet… … !

A graph is drawn on the back page of the ledger, with a red dot in the middle in 2006.

Next to the dot, the words 2 billion were stamped.

2 billion won in profits from the first movie being a big hit.

Of course, the director who directed the first time would receive a lot of money if it was 50 million won including the cost of the screenplay.

In addition to that, it was a small percentage, but he even signed a running guarantee contract, and in the end, the production cost was not enough, so he invested a part of the money he bought and sold this laundry building, and it was barely a profit.

However, she has been on a downtrend since the film she has shot since then, and before her return, her life is negative.

My current goal is to reach that red dot before 2006, before that.

It may someday be reached with the laundry’s income and the money and proceeds from selling coffee beans, but considering the current trend, it will be much later in 2006.

I am buying and collecting a little bit of stocks that will one day hit the jackpot whenever I can afford it, but that was also for the purpose of long-term investment.

I wish I could buy a lottery ticket, but… … .

‘Lotto?’

Speaking of lottery, in June 2014, I bought it once to add to the cost of a movie.

Why didn’t I think of that?

‘Oh, I think I’ll think of something.’

At that time, I bought the lottery with the feeling of catching a straw, and of course, at that time, I did not even win the first prize, let alone 5,000 won.

However, in order to match the number, the number 1 was copied and written down on the note.

‘3, 6, 18… … .’

I remembered until

Because the number 3 times 6 is 18, I quickly memorized it.

But the number on the back… … uh… … .

‘I’m going to eat an apple.’
