I Became Park Jeong-ui’s Nephew - Chapter 291



Only Noblemtl

He became Park Jeong-ui’s nephew. – (291)

[When the eldest brother died, the family decided to make Onan marry his sister-in-law, saying that the eldest son should continue the line. However, Onan spilled his semen on the ground, which offended God and cost him his life. – Genesis 38:9]

This is America,

Today again, a sensitive topic shook American public opinion.

According to the Bible, Jacob had 12 sons, who are important figures who became the founders of the 12 tribes of Israel today.

The problem is that their customs were the seeds of disaster. At that time, there was a custom in Jewish tribal society called levirate.

A system in which a wife remarries her husband’s brother if her husband dies early.

If a widow gives birth to a child this way, the child is legally recognized as the ‘child of the deceased husband’, and the wife can also claim ownership of her husband’s property.

“Wait a minute, then what am I?”

The problem is that this leaves the position of the man who provided the seeds ambiguous.

Even if I have a child with this woman, the child will not be mine, and my brother’s property will go to his wife. What benefit will this have to me?

So, Onan in the Bible sprinkled his semen on the ground.

By modern standards this may seem like a natural behavior, but at the time it was unacceptable based on moral standards.

“As a younger sibling, you should have a sense of responsibility to protect your older brother’s property and family!!”

“How can you be so selfish?!!”

According to Jewish law at the time, if a brother refused to support his sister-in-law, he would be publicly humiliated.

If he had simply refused to marry his sister-in-law, he would have suffered humiliation and ended it, but Onan was executed for spilling semen on the floor.

For the Jews, semen, the seed of life, is life itself.

The very act of spilling this on the floor was considered a terrible crime in Jewish society.

This is the background to how onanism influenced Judaism and Christianity today, and why the church treats masturbation as a crime.

But now that logic no longer works in modern society.

In North America, a whopping two-thirds of the population uses contraception, and condom sales have increased by 34% over 20 years.

How can enjoying sex be condemned in a society like this? The problem is that there are too many irresponsible outcomes.

An estimated 17 percent of American babies born this year will be born out of wedlock.

The situation is similar in Europe, which has broken free from religious taboos.

“Society is becoming too dirty. We need to return to the original doctrine of Christianity. Pregnancy before marriage is a great sin not only to the person but also to society.”

In some ways, that’s not wrong.

Onan’s spilling of his semen on the floor clearly showed that he had no intention of taking responsibility for his sister-in-law and child.

It may have seemed like a selfish act at the time, but by modern society’s standards, it showed a determination not to do something that was irresponsible.

But why do young people these days abuse sex?

I’m not saying that you should enjoy sex, but shouldn’t you take responsibility for your own actions?

17% of newborns in the United States are illegitimate. Can this be allowed in the name of freedom? Then who will take responsibility for these children?

In fact, this problem is not unique to the United States.

In Korea, where the preference for sons still remains, the newborn ratio in 1990 was 114 males and 100 females.

Although there are actually slightly more boys born than girls, doesn’t anyone see this as an artificial sex ratio?

In fact, in Korea, the probability that a third child will be a boy is as high as 79%.

The first and second children are also girls, so it doesn’t have to be a third child either. That’s why there are so many girls who are aborted.

If we just leave this alone, what will become of our country in the future?

Should we accept that aborting a girl because she wants a son is a natural order? However, if the government were to implement a birth control policy, the backlash would be considerable.

“Oh my~ You’re implementing a one-child policy?”

“Then I guess I should just have a son and stop having children.”

A scenario that is obvious even without looking,

In this situation, what policy should the government adopt? As the abortion of female infants has emerged as a serious social problem, the head of the Republic of Korea has also made a decision.

***

“From now on, aborting a female fetus will be considered murder.”

“Your Majesty, won’t the people’s discontent grow stronger?”

“That’s none of my business. Stop talking nonsense and just do it.”

“Ah… Okay, I understand.”

This is the Wonsubu in Geumneung,

I raised my voice in front of the administrators.

How did it work? I watched for a while, but now the abortion of female infants has gone too far. Are you going to fill the entire country with men who want sons?

The incident in which Mao Zedong exported 2 million young women overseas, resulting in a sharp decline in China’s population, remains a laughing stock in history to this day.

Such things are happening again and again on the Korean peninsula, and we are just going to leave it alone?

There is no need to laugh at Mao Zedong and call him stupid.

This is not something that can be solved with words, and requires extreme measures. In the worst case scenario, we even considered importing foreigners.

For example, India currently has over 40 million refugees.

India is currently in the midst of a civil war as the left-wing ruling party, the Congress Party, oppresses the Sikhs.

Sikhism is the second largest religious sect in India (100 million people) after Hinduism and Muslims, and many people are migrating abroad to escape religious persecution.

In fact, 200,000 Sikhs have recently immigrated to Canada.

If the current trend continues, Korea will have to accept 100,000 girls from India every year.

The situation is dire, but public opinion is unable to discern what the problem is, and this has been happening for over 10 years, so it is pointless to try to persuade public opinion one by one.

In the future, abortion of female infants will be considered murder, and if this policy does not work, a drastic measure will be taken: accepting female infants from overseas.

“Pure-bloodedness? I don’t know about that.”

Koreans don’t like to mix with Chinese and Japanese, but that’s their own delusion.

Later on, a farce will unfold where there is no bride for one’s son to marry, so one must import a bride from abroad.

However, it is thoughtless to insist on Korean pure blood.

To demonstrate my determination, I registered two girls in my family register.

Korea has long pursued a policy of ‘the state raises orphans’, and my being baptized as a Catholic and serving as a godfather is an extension of that policy.

But now, just being a godfather is not enough. Wouldn’t public opinion be convinced if the head of state were to register and raise an orphan?

But here the legal representative cautiously brought up the subject.

“Your Majesty, please stop registering the children.”

“Why?”

“If you register those children, there may be problems with property distribution later. It would be better to take action in advance…”

I am the richest person in the world,

As we grow older, we will need to dispose of our assets in some way.

Can I leave my fortune to those children then?

It’s not like I can’t do something about it. I can just raise those kids as my own daughters.

Above all, I am the type of person who sees through to the end once I start something, so I had no intention of quitting midway.

***

“Yeonsu, can you come to my office for a minute?”

“Yes, sir.”

This is a youth protection facility in Gyeongseong.

Yeonsu Lee, who turned 15 this year, followed the director into the office.

She lost her parents at the age of 3 and lived as an orphan, but thanks to the support she received from society, she grew up to be an upright girl.

I heard that someone has been sponsoring you for over 7 years, so I think I should at least express my gratitude to them later.

But here the identity of the sponsor was revealed.

“Yeonsu, you said you wanted to know who your sponsor is?”

“Yes, but the director didn’t tell me until the end.”

“Haha~ There was a reason for that. He does a lot of charity work.”

“is it so?”

“Yes, he was baptized in the church and became the godfather of orphans. Now he is the godfather of over 500 children.”

“Wow~ 500 people? That’s huge.”

Lee Yeon-su opened her mouth wide.

I don’t know who that person is, but they said they took care of 500 orphans, so how could they have shown affection to just me?

But the real surprise started from now on.

“Actually, he contacted me a while ago. He said he doesn’t have any children of his own and wants to adopt a daughter… How about you becoming his adopted daughter?”

“Me?”

“Yes, you are well-behaved and have dignity, so you won’t be ashamed to be his adopted daughter. What do you think?”

Lee Yeon-su was sparing with her words.

Living in a shelter isn’t bad, but it wouldn’t be so bad if someone were my fence. More than anything, to a child who had been an orphan for over 10 years, having parents was a dream and a romance in itself.

“I want to adopt that person’s daughter.”

“Really? I don’t even know your face, so is that okay?”

“You said you’ve been supporting me for over 7 years. Then I don’t need to think too deeply about it.”

“Haha~ Okay, then I’ll say it like that.”

From that day on, Lee Yeon-su spent several days with her eyes wide open.

What kind of person will be my adoptive father?

I tried to let my imagination run wild, but the reality was more dramatic than I imagined.

Some men came to the shelter,

Among them, a man of strong build opened the back door of the car.

“Let’s ride.”

“Do I have to go far from here?”

“Father is now coming from Geumneung to Gyeongseong. If you wait at the hotel, you can meet him.”

What kind of unexpected development is this?

What bothered me more than anything was having to follow those scary-looking people.

But it was not something she could run away from, so the girl ended up getting into the backseat.

My heart was pounding with excitement and vague fear at the thought of meeting my adoptive father soon, but anyway, the car arrived at its destination.

‘Is this a hotel?’

The girl sensed something.

This is not a hotel, but Changgyeonggung Palace. Although the entrance has been remodeled to resemble a lobby, this is not a hotel for civilians, but a building owned by a head of state.

The girl froze as the car entered the lobby as if it was just passing by.

The moment it was confirmed who the adoptive father was, he did not move an inch until the bodyguards in the front seat opened the back door.

“Okay, let’s get off.”

“Ah… no. Something seems wrong. This isn’t a hotel, is it?”

“The commander said he would arrive in about 40 minutes. Please get off quickly.”

A bodyguard who kindly confirms the kill,

The girl who got out of the back seat went through the lobby of Changgyeonggung Palace and went to the reception room.

The watercolor paintings and ornate chandeliers that filled the walls were dazzling, and I found myself hunching over even though I had done nothing wrong.

Is it really true that the head of state will appear here in 40 minutes?

The unrealistic development made my head spin, but luckily a comrade appeared here.

A girl who looked a little younger than him, he had just met her today, but since they were in similar situations, the two of them immediately hit it off.

“Have you come to see your adoptive father too?”

“Yes, you too, sister?”

“Yeah, do you know where this is?”

“I don’t know. Where is this place?”

A child who is still young and cannot understand the situation,

Lee Yeon-su eased the awkward atmosphere by explaining in detail what kind of place this was.
