Andrew, who suppressed his excitent until the rcenaries were out of sight, turned to Joshua as soon as they were gone with a wide grin on his face.
Hey! We can make money! We make 1 shilling a day from tomorrow!
Well done, hyung! Hyung is the best!
What are you talking about? Youre the one who ca up with the idea!
That continued for a while, as they yelled complints at each other, relishing in their success.
Rockefeller hyung will be happy too! Its not even dangerous work!
Of course hell be happy! If its 1 shilling then our entire family can eat until our stomach bursts everyday!
That evening, while they were having dinner, Rockefeller was surprised with the sudden news from his brothers.
What? Youll be running errands?
As though he was unable to contain his excitent, Joshua kept wiggling in his seat as he talked,
Yeah! From now on, well be delivering the rcenaries their ingredients. The rcenary ajusshi said to co to camp starting tomorrow!
Really?
Rockefeller considered it for a mont.
Although there was quite a distance from the camp to the village, its wasnt so large a distance that the two boys would get lost. It was about a two-hour roundtrip by foot. And it was safer than one would think since there were camps for hunters and woodcutters nearby that they could run to for help if anything did happen.
Then thats good. Earning one shilling a day by running errands isnt bad at all,
Right? You think so too, dont you, Rockefeller hyung?
Of course, well done. But since its near the forest, you should go straight to the hunters camp or the woodcutters camp if anything does happen. Hyung is okay with what you want to do, but you know I hate dangerous work.
Of course!
Joshua answered and Andrew spoke up confidently,
Rockefeller hyung, dont worry, thats the place where I always go to play with friends. Uncle Tompson and Uncle Bill are always there as well, its completely safe. Dont worry, nothing will happen.
Alright, but even so, you never know what might happen so always consider you safety first no matter what youre doing,
Got it!
Turning his attention away from the two brothers who had found a little job for themselves, Rockefeller looked to the remaining two of his siblings,
What about you Leo? How was your day? Did anything happen?
It did.
It did?
Leo, who rarely spoke and spent his days quietly had a different answer than usual. It piqued Rockefellers interest,
What happened?
Well. I went to the church with Lucia. The priest who gave the shilling from last ti said to visit, so I did.
So you visited the church,
Yeah. And they gave us bread. Its the daily bread for young worshipers. The ajusshi said that if we want to eat bread again, we should go every weekend,
At the news that Leo had take Lucia and visited the church, Andrew pulled a disgruntled face,
Why go to the church? That place is so boring,
Right, the church is boring, you should have co with us instead, it was really good today, Joshua agreed.
Just because.
As Leos voice began to lose strength, Rockefeller decided to encourage him a little,
Its alright, you did well. Going to the church isnt a bad thing. From now, if you get bored, you can go as often as you want,
Really?
Looking into Leos sparkling eyes, Rockefeller felt a little burdened.
Leo was normally quiet, he didnt speak out much and nothing seed to interest him, he didnt have strong opinions so he didnt fight like Joshua and Andrew did either.
This Leo was different from the one Rockefeller usually saw. The only ti he had been engaged was when he had talked about the ajusshi from the church who had given him the shilling.
He must have really liked the church if he looks that excited to go.
Leo, you can go to the church as you like. Theres not a single person here who will stop you going to the church.
At that, Joshua mumbled under his breath, as though he was just talking to himself,
If Leo goes to the church then itll be hard for and Andrew-hung to take the ingredients.
The priest ajusshi said to visit on weekends. I can help hyungs during the other days,
Rockefeller spoke up,
No. Leo is always the one looking after Lucia so he doesnt have to go out and work. Its okay for you to stay back,
At those words, Joshua and Andrew couldnt protest.
Like Rockefeller said, Leo was the only one who usually stayed at ho to make sure Lucia was looked after.
Right, since Leo looks after Lucia, thats fine,
Looking convinced, Andrew also raised his voice to agree with Rockefeller and despite looking a little disappointed that they had lost Leos help with the errands, Joshua too, eventually agreed,
I get it. Looking after Lucia is work too, so Leo should take good care of her,
