I AM NOT A POOR SON-IN-LAW

CHAPTER 9-JOSEPH BEGINS TO TAKE REVENGE

"WHAT?" Instantly, the shrieks of the householders could be heard. The people who were unhappy with Joseph's happiness were stunned. They were not happy to hear that. It left them with nothing to insult Joseph with anymore.

"Honey, are you serious?" asked Katty with a beaming face. Finally, after all this time, her husband got a job too. She was happy because from now on he wouldn't be insulted by her family anymore.

However, it seemed like Katty was too happy to let Joseph continue. After Joseph did so, the sound of laughter could be heard throughout the house. They were extremely pleased with Joseph's explanation. They immediately looked down at the man and laughed at him.

"Yes. Mr. Gawali gave me a job as a cleaning service in his office," Joseph added.

"Hahaha! Cleaning service? Hahahaha." The sound of derisive laughter rang in both Katty and Joseph's ears.

 Katty, who heard her husband's explanation, was shocked. Katty wondered what kind of job her husband had gotten. However, in the end she still had to be disappointed that her whole family was laughing at her husband again.

"Hahaha! I told you, he is suitable to be a cleaning service. Look, he's been offered the same job I offered him a while ago. What's her salary worth if she's just going to be a cleaning service?" Lucky was the one who laughed the loudest.

"Hahahaha!" Truly, the laughter annoyed Katty. However, it was different with Joseph. That man was smiling silently. He was imagining what it would be like if the people laughing at him knew that he worked not as a cleaning service, but as a company owner. Joseph was looking forward to that day.

"That's enough, you guys are too much! Honey, let's go to our room!" said Katty.

Katty who had had enough in the end immediately pulled her husband's arm to go to the room. With quick steps and a lot of energy to pull her husband's arm, she was now upstairs. She immediately pulled her husband's body and entered his room. There she began to sit down while facing her husband.

"Honey, did Mr. Gawali really give you a job? Did you accept it?" Katty immediately asked the question that her family had discussed earlier. Joseph who heard her immediately nodded. He saw a twinkle in his wife's eyes. Was Katty not angry that he was working as a cleaning service?

"Not yet. I still have to think about it. I'm afraid of embarrassing you. So, I haven't accepted it yet."

Katty smiled fondly when she heard that. She knew her husband cared for her very much. For her sake, Joseph did not immediately say yes, despite the fact that he would be the boss of the company where she worked later.

"Why are you embarrassed? It's okay, you just accept it. While looking for another job, you just accept the job. I won't be embarrassed. As for the insults from my family, I can turn a deaf ear. So, you don't have to worry."

Josep nodded his head in appreciation of his wife's words. He pulled Katty's body and hugged her. He held her tightly. A woman like Katty should not be wasted. She won't. Wait until the time comes, Joseph will turn things around.

"Honey, but I'm still worried about the 100 million dollars Lucky was talking about. I can't get that much money overnight. My savings aren't enough, how can I get that money in an instant?" Katty looked panicked.

Having finished with that conversation, Katty now began to discuss something else that was very important. Of course, the 100 million dollars that she and her husband had to collect the next day. Honestly, it had been bothering her since noon. She didn't know where to find that much money, especially now that it was late. Katty couldn't possibly get the rest of the money.

"You just calm down, Honey. Don't worry about it. Let me think about the money. Now you go to bed, right? You have to rest early so that you can wake up early tomorrow and see Dad. I wonder if Mr. Gawali kept his promise or not, okay?"

Joseph pulled his wife's body to the end of the bed to get some sleep. However, it seemed like the 100 million dollar issue was really on Katty's mind. She did not want to sleep now.

"Honey, I can't sleep. I..."

"Didn't I tell you not to think about the money? Now you go to sleep, it's late night." Joseph covered his wife's mouth with the palm of his hand.

Katty shook her head at that. She was still faithful to her seat and did not move from there at all. She was still worried about the matter.

"I know! How about I sell the jewelry you gave me yesterday? It seems very expensive. I could get more than 100 million dollars. How about it?"

"No way!" Joseph forbade.

Katty was surprised to hear Joseph say that in a slightly raised tone. Afterwards, the man immediately rubbed his forehead, which was a little dizzy. How was he supposed to tell his wife that the 100 million dollars for him was very little? He could get it easily.

"I'm really tormented about this. I can't stop thinking about it. I have to find a way to get the money and it seems like selling the jewelry yesterday was a good idea, so..."

Katty who was busy talking because she found a good solution to the 100 million dollar problem immediately closed her lips. Joseph quickly kissed his wife on the lips to stop her from talking. With that kiss, little by little the anxiety in Katty's heart began to disappear. She was starting to calm down now.

"Honey, you don't have to think about the money anymore, okay? It's already my responsibility as one of the sons-in-law in this family. I promise, I will get the money for your dad's surgery. In fact, I'll pay the full cost. I won't let Lucky pay for it too.

Joseph gently closed his wife's eyes. Katty who got that in the end complied. Slowly her body began to be covered with a thick blanket by her husband. She was not allowed to open her eyes for a moment. It seemed like Joseph was really sure of his words.

"You don't have to think about it anymore. I won't embarrass you this time. Trust me," Joseph whispered in his wife's ear and then lay down beside her.

*** 

The next day, Lucky, who was already in the hospital, arrogantly went to the administration room to pay for the surgery for his father-in-law. With the 200 million dollars he had prepared, he immediately paid for his father-in-law's surgery. 

He put on his haughty face because since the trip Lucky had noticed Joseph sitting on the chair in front of the administration room. He had done this deliberately to let Joseph know that he was superior to him.

However, instead of the fear and anxiety Lucky got from Joseph's face, the man looked calm and even had a smile on his face. Lucky who saw it was instantly hot. However, just as he was about to pay, his aura of arrogance returned. 

"Hi, I'll pay for the surgery for my father-in-law, Mr. Barta Smith," Lucky said to an administrative assistant at Rose Hospital.

"I'm his son-in-law," Lucky added, actually lifting his chin. He deliberately made Joseph look helpless, even though he was the one who would be helpless soon.

"Oh, you're the son-in-law of a patient named Mr. Barta Smith too? I'm sorry, but the fee for the operation has already been paid, 300 million dollars. So, you don't have to pay anymore," the clerk replied. 

"WHAT?" Lucky gasped in shock when he heard that. He was confused by what he had just heard. 300 million dollars, who had paid that much money?

"Yes. Mr. Joseph Guezz has paid for Mr. Barta Smith's surgery," said the administrative assistant, which immediately made Lucky shocked.
