She swerved to the side and stopped right before she hit the railings. She called me right after it happened. I was so shocked by it and yelled at her to quit her job. But...
I'm fine. No problem. I almost got in a car accident, but I didn't. I was fine. Most people who sit there are like that. It was a close call but it ended as an exciting event. An exciting event! (Wow...) It's a critical stage when you're 4 months pregnant. You came to a sudden stop. Didn't your stomach hurt or anything? No. I called my husband right after it happened. "Oh my god! This is what just happened to me!" He got worried, but I told him I was fine. So I told him, "I'm okay." Don't worry. She had to renew the contract recently. She did it without telling me. Do you mean her work contract? They renew it every 3 months. Then she'll be close to the due date. Why did you renew it without telling him? You could give birth in the next 3 months. Right. You'll be 9 months pregnant by then. I knew we would end up in an argument. I believe that my husband must love me and what I do as long as I am happy doing it. If you love your husband, and since he's worried about you, shouldn't you help him out a little? I could work a little less, but it's not work to me because I love it. It's not work. If you planned on working this much couldn't you have gotten pregnant a little later? Did you ever talk about that? Was it a surprise? Was it an exciting event? My husband made a mistake. What an exciting event! (Embarrassed) What is it, Daniel? Why are you embarrassed? Oh my. Yes, that's good acting. He doesn't know anything. She's from a different culture. She actually seems to be doing well. I'm being persuaded by her. She's a great person. People who don't know us think I'm making her work even when she's pregnant. Our acquaintances... Aren't you being too harsh? What's worse is that my mother-in-law... She may be upset that her daughter works too much. She doesn't live far away. She lives just 5 minutes away. Let's meet his mother-in-law. Hello. Hello. Are you her mother? I thought you were a friend. - You're his mother-in-law? / - Yes. - Unbelievable! / - Unbelievable! How old? Oops. Please excuse me for asking. I was born in 1963. In 1963? Wow, you look so young. (Wow) Do you understand your son-in-law's concern? I do. My daughter works too much. What mother would like that? When are you most worried about your daughter? When she was a senior in high school her father passed away from cholangiocarcinoma. You went through that pain. I couldn't make ends meet by myself so she studied and got scholarship. She's a great daughter. She even worked two jobs. She worked so hard in the past and she's doing the same thing even now. It's quite upsetting. I want her to put her health first. I think he's afraid to see you. (Sigh) - He should. / - He should? I opposed when they decided to get married. He came to see me after they started dating. - What parent would say yes to that? / - Right. But after they got married, I was nice to him. I treated him very well. You speak in a dialect when you get angry. I have no choice. So I was really good to him. I'm a very nice mother-in-law. You seem like it. - Right? / - Yes. I make him breakfast before he goes to work, I do the laundry and babysit their son. It's an exciting event. People around us tell him, "You must've saved a country in your past life!" That's why he has such a great mother-in-law. (Unbelievable) She's praising herself. It must be tough looking after the two. Yes, it was tough. When? I went through 3 surgeries after I came to Korea. Really? I had a surgery for thyroid cancer. Oh. I had a hysterectomy. Then after a year they found a stone in my gall bladder so I had to remove it.
