METEOR GARDEN

EPISODE 22

Huaze Lei.

I guess it's normal to feel offended

when you see someone being touchy-feely.

It does feel awkward
to be caught in the situation.

Usually, we'll just laugh
and brush it off.

But you care about it

because it's Daoming Si, right?

Who said I care about it?

Besides,

it's good that they're doing well.

If you can't hold it in, it's fine to cry.

You don't have to force yourself
to be strong.

Can I lean on your back for a bit?

Dad, Mom, I'm home.

Shancai, you're back.

What's going on?

Dad.

Did you make a bad investment again?

Or are you two...

Your dad's boss ran away
with the company funds.

What? And you didn't stop him?

It's too late.

Right now, only the ones
who weren't involved are left.

Anything else that has any worth

has been taken away
by the bigger shareholders.

I'm sorry, my dear.

What are we going to do now?

Your dad and I will need to stay
at the village for a while.

Why?

We thought we could sustain for a bit

by doing deliveries
while your dad looks for another job.

But your aunt at the village called today

and said that your uncle is sick.

It's hard for her to care for him and make
a living by fishing at the same time.

So she asked if we could go and help her.

Is he okay?

He's not critical right now.

He'll need time to recover,
but it will take a while.

So...

Am I going to stay here by myself?

No, I'll pack and go with you.

Shancai.

You need to stay here alone.

Why do you think your dad and I
are working so hard?

We want you to do well at Mingde.

You can't let this get in your way.

What about Dong's Private Kitchen?

Are we going to give up?

More reason for you to hang in there.

I need your help
so I can create new dishes.

Did you forget?

This is our dream.

Shancai, don't be scared.

I'm here.

When are you coming back for me?

I don't want us to be separated.

We don't want to leave you behind either.

Once your uncle is well again,

when we've saved some money,

we'll come back here.

That's right.

While we're away,

you need to be strong, okay?

Okay.

For now,
you'll need to look after yourself.

Mom.

All right. We'll call you often.

We'll keep in touch through WeChat, okay?

Okay.

Xiaozi.

You've had the long face
since you came back from the hotel.

Your dad is worried about you.

You refused to tell us
what happened at the hotel.

The manager there said
the glass was shattered.

The room was in a mess.

Did you fight with Daoming Si?

Do you want me to call him?

Go ahead and call him
if you want to embarrass me.

I heard from his mother.

You've been going out a lot
with a girl named Shancai.

Isn't that girl very cunning and tricky?

Did she cause trouble at the hotel?

Stop talking about it already.

-I'm just worried that she's using you.
-Mom.

Shancai is a good friend of mine.

I won't let anyone talk bad about her.

Even if you talked bad about her,

I wouldn't forgive you either.

Okay.

All good.

Now, I can sleep.

Today is the first day of living alone.

I wonder if Mom and Dad
have arrived at the village.

What on earth?

Who is it?

Shancai.

The voice sounds familiar.

Could it be...

Xiaozi?

Hi.

Your neighborhood is so dark.

I tripped a few times coming here.

The street light is broken.

It's okay. It doesn't matter.

I came here today because I wanted to...

-I want to say--
-Sorry.

I don't want to hear it.

Xiaozi.

My parents went back to the village.

From today onward,

I will be living here alone.

I was wondering why I didn't see them.

I'm going to be very busy from now on.

I don't have time
to think about other things.

Next time you want to talk to me
about something,

I might not be able to give you any time.

Shancai.

Do you hate me?

I...

Don't get me wrong.

Actually,

it's fine if you hate me.

Because...

Because I lied to you.

That day, Si and I

didn't do anything.

He told me...

that he can't be with me.

What...

That's impossible.

At first, I was really confident.

I thought if I stood before him,
he wouldn't be able to say no.

I didn't think

he would be so adamant.

He's heartless, isn't he?

I already told my mom

that I'm not going to see him again.

Why?

I thought you two were doing
well together.

I get it now.

I shouldn't force someone
to be with a person they don't love.

But because I like Si,

I got to know you.

I'm glad.

Shancai.

Will you still be my friend?

Of course.

Listen.

I want you and Si to be happy together.

Don't mind me.

Stop lying to yourself about how you feel.

I came today to tell you this.

I'll go now.

Wait.

Xiaozi.

Are you angry?

Do you know why I dumped Daoming Si?

Why?

Because he said...

"My thoughts are filled with Shancai."

Tell the consul

that I'll be at the party.

Don't worry about it.

-Sure.
-Mom.

I need to go now. See you.

What is it?

Xiaozi and I are a no-go.

What are you talking about?

I already made myself clear.

I don't like her and I'll never marry her.

Go to the He family right now
and apologize to Xiaozi.

If you do that,
I'll agree to look past this matter.

I did nothing wrong.
Why should I apologize?

I told you.

The one I like is Shancai.

I will not marry anyone other than her.

I told you very clearly too.

Dong Shancai will not set foot
inside our house.

Not even in her next life.

What's the point of a business marriage?

If Xiaozi and I end up being miserable,

is that fair to her?

You're still young.
You have no idea what life is about.

Or I should say
you know nothing about love.

Yes.

I know nothing.

But who gave you the right
to control my life?

I gave birth to you.
So you should listen to me!

I will obey everything else.

But on this, I will not.

I rather not be your son.

I wish I was not Daoming Si!

Stop right there!

Cheers!

You're staying alone.

You should change to a safer lock.

Thanks.

How's the safety here?

Is it safe to live alone?

It should be okay.

The street light looks broken.

The landlord has reported it.

It'll be fixed soon.

Where is Si?

He should be here.

-He's the only one missing.
-No.

Why?

Why what?

My house is too small.

There's no space.

The floor is already shaking
with the three of you.

Having one more person here
will probably cause an earthquake.

There are too many people.

Anyway,

I wonder what Si is up to.

He's been missing.

Si and Xiaozi are progressing well, right?

Hey, Shancai, how are they doing?

You should ask Daoming Si, not me.

It's probably Si.

Open the door.

Hurry up.

-Hello, ma'am.
-Hello, ma'am.

Mrs. Daoming.

Why are you...

Shancai.

I thought we wouldn't see
each other again.

But there's something I want to ask you.

What exactly did you do

to split Xiaozi and Si apart?

How much longer

are you going to get in Si's way?

You can't just accuse me.

I didn't do anything.

Simply accuse?

I know you won't admit it.

What I don't understand is

why such a nice girl

would do something so despicable.

Ma'am.

Aren't you acting below your dignity here?

Sorry.

Are you talking to me?

Are you criticizing me?

Ma'am.

I think it's probably a misunderstanding
between Si and Xiaozi.

I know very well whether or not
it's a misunderstanding.

You can shut up.

Shancai.

Let me make something clear.

You and Si belong to different worlds.

Your family background,

lifestyle and way of thinking
are completely different.

Imagine this.

If he takes you to a business forum,

will you feel inferior
because you can't participate

in the technical discussions?

If he takes you to a royal banquet,

are you going to be embarrassed

because you don't know
proper table manners?

Even if you marry into our household,

you won't get used
to this sort of lifestyle.

I never wished for that kind of lifestyle.

I know where I stand.

I know I'm not suited

for those supposed high-society etiquette.

Then why are you sticking to Si?

Obviously, you're a gold-digger.

I'm not the one sticking to your son.

And I have no interest in your money.

Hypocrites are the worst kind of people.

How much do you want?

No need to beat around the bush.

By the way, I heard your parents

went back to the village.

If you had known,

you should've accepted the money.
That would've solved the problem.

You brought these boys to your house
so they could defend you?

This must be one of your tactics too.

Don't think you could bully me
just because I'm young, you old hag!

What did you say? Say that again.

Old hag!

Yes, I'm calling you that.

If you worry about your precious son,
you should put a collar on him

and latch it onto your waist
so you can bring him anywhere you go.

Are you done?

Uneducated as expected,

talking to me like that.

I don't need you to decide
whether or not I'm educated.

Maybe for you,
I am just a weed in the garden.

But I never betrayed my conscience.

I've never done anything

that would stop me
from holding my head high.

Honestly, right now, I feel bad for you.

You are the worst person
I've ever met in this world.

In your eyes,

there are only you and your son.

You don't treat anyone else as humans.

You're not welcome in my world.

Get out.

I said leave!

Shancai, you're incredible.

Did you guys see
the expression on her face?

She looked like
she's about to burst a vein.

Shancai, you always call yourself a weed.

The explosive power of the weed
is awe-inspiring.

That's right.

Because I couldn't take it anymore.

So Si and Xiaozi broke up?

I had a feeling they won't last very long.

But it ended really quickly.

Shancai.

What are you doing to do now?

Si's mom will not just let this go.

Lei is right.

You need to prepare yourself.

You can't keep running away.

I'm not running away.

I won't admit defeat.

The more she tries to bully me,
the stronger I must be.

I will unleash the spirit of the weed
and fight until the end.

How are you doing to do that?

She's the superwoman
of Asia's best hotel chain.

Not to forget,

the empress of Daoming Group.

So what?

She's still human.

You're too naive.

She's powerful enough

that she could squash you
like squashing an ant.

Squash?

With a blink of an eye,

you'd turn into dust.

Stop beating me down.

One moment you're supporting me,
the next you're scaring me.

We're not trying to scare you.

We're just outlining the situation
so we can find a solution.

Well...

How about this?

I'll think of a way to become
a woman she's happy with.

What kind of reaction is that?

What do you think about going out with Si?

I have no intention of doing that.

Good idea.

First, date Si and then tell his mom,

"I, Dong Shancai, am serious
in my relationship with Daoming Si.

Don't even think
about ruining our happiness."

Good idea.

What?

Next, you can give birth to a baby.
That's how you win.

Don't you think Si's mom
will throw their kid off a bridge?

You guys are talking nonsense.

I never thought about
wanting to be with Daoming Si.

Hey.

Did I say something

really bad?

You said,

"I might be a weed.

But I won't let anyone belittle me.

You're not welcome in my world.

Get out. I said, leave."

You said that.

Do you think I can take it back?

Can I pretend that I didn't say it?

Spoken words are like spilled water.

There's no turning back.

As long as Si likes you,

confrontations like these are inevitable

even if you didn't say that earlier.

No matter what,

we will support you.

Yes, do your best.

Yes, we will support you.

All the best.

Fighting with Daoming Si's mom?

What did I get myself into?

What a witch Daoming Si's mom is.

He had to grow up in such harsh reality.

His world must be full of obstacles.

So why...

Why do I still want to be involved
with Daoming Si

and worsen the situation?

Such a familiar sight.

When school first started,
Huaze Lei was here playing violin.

I really looked up to him.

And now,

he's become a great friend in my heart.

I don't know why,

but when he's playing the violin,

it feels like nothing in this world

can't be solved.

There is no discord and no struggles.

I'm back.

Shancai, how was your day today?

I miss you so much.

In order to help your uncle,
Dad has been learning to fish.

Unfortunately, your dad gets seasick.

The first time he went out to sea today,
he vomited non-stop.

He wasn't much help at all
and had to be looked after.

So we didn't earn much
because of today's low catch.

I'm very sorry.

I can't give you extra allowance.

Shancai,

you need to be more frugal
with your part-time earnings.

Things aren't going well,
but we are working hard.

Shancai, take good care of yourself.

We're not with you
so you must stay strong.

My dear daughter, we miss you a lot.

I heard you.

Take care of yourselves too.

I miss you and Dad too.

Don't worry about me.

Things will get better.

Who is it?

It's me, the landlord.

Thanks.

Mr. Wang, is something wrong?

Ms. Dong.

Sorry to say this.

I have to stop renting out this place.

Why?

Did something happen?

It's an emergency.

My daughter's mother-in-law

needs money for her operation.

I already have someone who is
interested in buying this house.

How about I return the rental fees
you previously paid?

On top of that,

I will give you an extra 500 yuan
as compensation. Is that okay?

But I'm...

I...

I know.

It's unfair to you.

But it's hard for me too.

I need this money urgently.

I have to pay the hospital bills.

I hope you can help us.

Maybe you can stay with your friends?

Please.

Thank you.

Mom.

Does the house...

Mom.

I wanted to ask

if the house at the village is okay?

I really miss you and Dad.

I've got a bit of a problem here.

But I'll settle it soon.

NEW UPDATE FROM DONG SHANCAI

CHASED OUT FROM THE HOUSE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT

WHAT AN EXPERIENCE!

Did she really say that?

Did she really say she'll challenge my mom
because of me?

Too bad you weren't there.
It was jaw-dropping.

We wanted to tell you sooner,
but you've been missing.

Right, I need to see her.

I want to hear it from her.

Wait.

A tough girl like Shancai
will never admit it.

So what? I'm going to see her now.

Hang tight.

We should talk.

About what? We can talk later.

Don't stop me.

Si, have you thought about
how to deal with your mom?

No. I'm not going to deal with her.

You know how my mom is.

Why ask?

So it's game over for Shancai.

Your mom can have her head any time.

I won't let that happen.

Where did you get your confidence?

Have you ever gone against her
at anything since childhood?

Yeah, talk is cheap.

We can forget the past.

But it concerns Shancai now.

All right.

She's my woman. I'll handle it.

Are you done questioning? I'm going then.

Si, I hope you're prepared.

If your mom is serious, Shancai is dead.

She's in such a predicament
because of you.

Lei means

you should have a plan
before going to see Shancai.

Si, do you understand the situation?
Don't you need a plan?

A plan for what?

That stupid Shancai.

She never tells me any of her problems.

She's all alone now, without help
and getting bullied by my mom.

I won't let her go through this alone.

I'm going to her right now.

Hey.

He's acting like
he's the only gentleman here.

I can understand.

If I were a girl,

I'd be touched by his action.

He'd be perfect if he wasn't so stubborn.

Shancai, what happened? Are you okay?

Shancai, want to come to my place?
I'll wait for you.

Shancai, where are you? I'll come get you.

Just yesterday I challenged the old hag,

saying I'll fight her.

But now,
I don't even have a place to stay.

What should I do?

How will I survive?

Why can't you just stay by my side?

I'm very happy.

Because you said no matter what,
you won't let my mom come in between us.

From now on,
I will do my best to protect you.

Wait a minute.

First, let me go.

-You're holding me--
-No.

You're finally in my arms.

I'll never let go.

Who knows where you'll run to?

Who said I'm running?

What is all this, then?

I packed up because I got chased out.

Why didn't you tell me?

I was about to tell you.

Can you not leave me?

Daoming Si.

I can't stay here.

Why not?

I'm telling you to stay here.

I can go to Qinghe's house

or Xiaoyou's.

I don't want to stay here.

Stop it.

Qinghe? Xiaoyou?

They're not your boyfriend.

Daoming Si.

Can't you think about me for once?

Think about what?

-I have plenty of rooms here.
-That's not the point!

The point is,

I just confronted your mom.

I can't stay here.

-It's ridiculous.
-Perfect timing.

You wanted to challenge her, right?

This is our chance

to tell her properly.

I am back with Shancai!

-Come and get me!
-Hey.

What a ruckus.

Where are your manners?

There are rules

in this household, no?

Ms. Yu.

You're still alive?

Mr. Daoming Si.

Still a joker as always.

Like you said,

I'm still alive and kicking.

Stop it, Ms. Yu.

No need to be so formal.

Just call me Si.

Saying my full name with honorifics

is a little over-the-top.

I'll skip the honorifics then.

Si.

It's been a while.

You are still

such a troublemaker.

What's going on?

Who is this grandma?

Your mother is away in London.

Before she left,

she asked me to come back
and hold the fort.

Without her here,

someone needs to run the household.

So,

everything is in my scope.

Okay.

I'll tell you right now.

This is my friend, Shancai.

From today onward,

she will be living here.

So you're Shancai?

Hello.

I'm Dong Shancai.

This grandma looks ancient,

but she's got a strong aura.

Since Si

is adamant about staying with you,

I won't make things hard for you.

Good decision.

I'll get Shancai to help
with the chores in the house.

Ms. Yu!

Ms. Yu, have you got dementia?

Shancai isn't here to work.

I remember.

Even your dad didn't dare
talk to me like that.

Young people nowadays

seem to take things for granted.

They really believe

-that there are free lunches.
-You old piece of...

She's...

We're friends.

What's wrong
with her staying here for free?

I know.

Society has changed.

Young people always want it easy.

But I am

an old, traditional person.

I believe having
the right attitude is important.

Why can't Ms. Shancai work in exchange

for room and board?

Of course I can.

Ma'am, you shouldn't look down on others.

I wouldn't want to stay here

for free anyway.

Do you know how to clean?

Are you a hard worker?

Of course.

I helped my mom with chores
since I was young.

-I know how to cook too.
-That's enough!

I don't agree.

I didn't ask you to stay
to become a servant.

I'm the man.

I should look after you.

I think your grandma makes a lot of sense.

I have no money

and nowhere to go.

So I need a proper reason to stay.

-That way, I can protect my pride.
-No.

There's no way I can let you

be a cleaner here.

-But--
-Enough with that.

I will never agree.

Fine. I'll go then.

What era are we living in?

There's nothing wrong
with friends staying over.

Ximen and Meizuo come here all the time.

This isn't about right or wrong.

It's about willingness.

I don't want her to belittle me.

Shancai.

Are you sure you want to be a worker here?

-Yes.
-You...

You piss me off.

Don't expect me to be lenient with you

just because you're Si's friend.

You'd better be prepared.

You hear me?

Yes.

I can't hear you.

Yes.

Are you a mosquito?

Yes!

Good.
