=Episode 28=

Anyone who hasn't been through the kind of pain you have

doesn't have the right

to judge your choices.

Since I was little,

my mom told me

the most important thing in life was a career.

That's what she said,

and that's how she lived.

But now I realize

that in her heart,

her career was never the most important thing.

It was always her family.

Maybe

even she didn't realize that herself.

Until you go through setbacks,

you don't really know

what matters most.

Just like us.

We didn't come together

because we were in love.

But that doesn't stop us

from loving each other deeply now.

Right?

So...

give your mom a little more time.

Give yourself some time.

Looking back,

you've seen me

at my worst.

Because we are husband and wife.

You don't have to pretend to be strong in front of me.

Not before,

not ever.

(Mathematics Department Teaching Office)

Everyone,

(Educators must first be educated.) I'm honored to announce

some good news today.

Ms. Mu Shanhe's paper

will be published in the latest issue of China Science.

Congratulations.

Come.

Congrats.

Alright.

Back to work.

Mujing,

come here for a moment.

Professor Wu.

You haven't been in great shape, have you?

No, I'm fine.

I've known you for years.

You've never made

such a basic calculation mistake before.

I'm sorry.

It's alright.

But your result

is the foundation for your entire group's follow-up research.

Revise it together.

That won't be necessary, Professor Wu.

I'll take full responsibility

for correcting the results myself.

I don't want to burden everyone else.

How can you manage all that on your own?

I can.

Trust me.

Yang,

come.

What are you looking for?

Stop laughing.

It's summer.

Why are you wearing a scarf?

Look at this.

If I go to work like this

and people see it, it's embarrassing.

But wearing a scarf

in this heat just draws more attention, doesn't it?

Then what should I do?

Vice Director, you wanted to see me?

Xia,

what happened?

This is outrageous.

It's a new society.

How dare he lay hands on her?

You were hit?

Comrade Xie Xiaoxia,

well,

don't be afraid.

After work tonight,

I'll represent the factory office

and visit your home

to speak with your husband.

This involves intentional injury.

We'll report it to the police

and let them decide

how it should be handled.

Exactly.

Don't worry.

We won't allow the female worker

to be harmed for no reason.

Chief Wang,

the Publicity Department

should publish a few articles

to call on all the female workers.

If anyone suffers

domestic violence,

report it to the factory office.

The factory office will be their family.

We will stand up for them.

Vice Director Chen,

I'm worried

some female workers

would rather swallow their pain

than let family matters become public.

That's true, Vice Director Chen.

Xie Xiaoxia

never mentioned any of this before.

We often saw her wearing medicated patches,

and she told us it was for the cold.

If today's injury on her face

hadn't been impossible to hide,

I wouldn't have noticed.

Alright.

Chief Wang,

notify all workshop directors

and have them check in one by one

with every female worker.

If there are any unusual situations,

do home visits one by one.

Okay.

Let's go.

We're leaving, Vice Director.

Come.

Vice Director,

I now seriously suspect

that Comrade Fei Ni's husband, Fang Muyang,

may also be engaging in violent behavior.

I saw Fei Ni wearing a medicated patch

earlier today.

And she hasn't used the factory bathhouse

in a long time.

But I heard

her relationship with her husband

is quite good.

Many women care about their pride

and don't dare speak out.

Vice Director,

for protecting Fei Ni,

could I visit

their home

and look into it?

I was the one who uncovered Xie Xiaoxia's situation.

I have some experience.

If Fang Muyang

leaves any clues,

I'll be able to spot them.

Then I can ask you to step in

and stand up for Fei Ni.

Alright.

Go ahead.

But

before anything is confirmed,

don't spread rumors or make a scene.

Understood, Vice Director.

Who is it?

Feng Lin?

What brings you here?

Fei Ni, I'm here on behalf of the factory office for a home visit.

Feng Lin,

have some coffee.

Fei Ni,

if you've suffered any grievances, just tell me.

I'll report everything truthfully to Vice Director Chen.

All the female workers and I

will stand up for you.

Feng Lin,

I haven't suffered any grievances.

Fei Ni,

a lot of people at the factory envy you.

They say you married well.

Now that I've seen your place,

the house is quite spacious.

But whether a woman is truly happy

can't be judged by the size of her home.

As the saying goes,

only the feet know if the shoes fit.

Some people swallow their pain

out of pride.

I'm here to give you a chance.

You need to seize it.

Otherwise, if you're bullied again in the future,

don't blame us for not helping you.

Feng Lin,

thank you for your concern.

Fang Muyang and I

have a very good relationship.

If there's nothing else,

I won't keep you.

That won't do.

I've come with a task.

I must look into

what happens in your family

and announce it to the whole factory.

Feng Lin,

would you be especially happy

if I weren't living well?

What are you talking about?

I'm here representing the factory to care about the workers.

You must explain

what happened to the injury on your neck.

It's a mosquito bite.

How big was the mosquito that you needed a medicated patch for?

Take it off and let me see.

That's definitely not a mosquito bite.

It was a one-meter-ninety mosquito.

I'm not 1.9 meters tall.

I'm at most 1.88.

You're lying.

I was rounding down.

I'm really not 1.9.

Look, when I hug you,

your head reaches my chin.

Look at the height of our noses.

Our noses...

are about the same height.

How is that the same?

What is this? Why is it so bitter?

Feng Lin,

even if you don't like coffee,

you can't spill it on the sofa cover.

It's just a piece of cloth.

I'll compensate you.

A piece of cloth?

Fine.

Pay for it then.

Give me

40 yuan.

Come on.

40?

Fang Muyang, are you trying to scam me?

Feng Lin,

it's not about the money.

This sofa cover

is entirely hand-crocheted.

My mom's students made it together

for her back then.

And it's a complete set.

If one piece is stained, how can we use the set properly?

How am I supposed to explain it to my mom?

But I...

I don't have that much money.

If you don't have the money,

write a letter of apology.

Alright.

I'll write it.

I have some requirements

for the letter.

It must be

sincere,

beautifully written,

and most importantly,

you must use the word "clarity".

There can't be any errors.

Fine.

I'll write it.

Off you go.

Lin Mei, you're finally here.

What happened?

Mom, Dad.

That darn Wang Tengda is to blame.

He got your brother to secretly take on private driving jobs at night.

He isn't that experienced at driving,

and he got into an accident late at night.

He broke his leg.

What did the doctor say?

The doctor says

he needs to stay in bed for at least three months.

And even when it heals, (Watch on www,kisskh,id to support Admin)

he'll probably limp.

Can he still drive?

How could he drive after something like this?

The transport team already issued a notice.

He's been fired.

What's he going to do for the rest of his life?

What am I going to do?

What can I do?

You.

You.

You all have to provide for me now!

Why do you think I went out driving at night?

Wasn't it to earn more money to pay you back?

Keep your voice down.

We'll talk about that later.

Lin Mei,

look.

Right now,

Mom and Dad have to stay home to take care of Jianshe.

I can't take too many days off work.

I have to look after your brother and work at the same time.

Isn't Fei Ting working in the canteen?

The factory isn't far from here.

Could he bring us

some food?

Didn't you hear her talking to you?

You don't want to send food?

Perfect, I didn't want to eat it anyway.

Good.

We don't have time to send it anyway.

You want us to provide for you? Aren't you ashamed?

What do you mean you went out driving

to pay Mom and Dad back?

You stole the money.

Say that again!

Aihong, look at his temper.

I can't bear it.

He is yours.

Lin Mei.

He's just stubborn.

Don't argue with him.

Don't hold her back.

Let her go!

Get lost!

Bye, Dad, Mom.

Lin Mei.

Lin Mei!

Dad, Mom, we're leaving.

Fei Ting, please.

We're leaving, Aihong.

You!

Why were you yelling?

You've driven Lin Mei away.

All this will fall on me in the end.

So what?

You're my wife.

If you don't take care of me, who will?

I can't.

You'll starve to death.

Go!

All of you, go!

Stop it, will you?

You shouldn't have yelled!

Enough.

You!

Lie down. Lie down.

You're really

driving me crazy.

How was it, Fei Ni?

The suggestion I gave you was pretty good, right?

It's all your fault.

People kept staring at me in the factory all day.

Feng Lin looked at me so strangely.

She probably thinks you hit me.

You could just say your husband kissed you.

Have some shame.

I'll let you slide this time.

Do me a favor.

Name it.

The male lead in my novel

is about to return to the city

and get assigned to a Western restaurant.

Isn't that me?

Exactly.

I'm in your drawing,

and you're in my novel.

That's a perfect complement to each other.

Can you tell me

some interesting stories about the restaurant?

I need material.

That's easy.

I have a coworker.

Everyone calls her Ms. Xu.

Ms. Xu?

She's from Sichuan,

so she has a strong accent.

I heard

that just to communicate better with everyone,

she studies Mandarin with her coworkers during the day

and stays up at night learning English.

How's her progress?

Let me show you.

Madam.

These are Italian noodles.

Sir.

Eat what?

Even though she speaks English with a Sichuan accent,

she can communicate with foreign customers.

That's impressive.

Do you remember

our manager, Peng?

Your service

must be elegant.

And you,

when you see a customer,

smile.

I don't think

being strict

is a problem.

The problem is, he was strict with others

but was always thinking about

how to take advantage of the restaurant himself.

Whenever he cleaned the bar counter,

(he'd wipe the counter with one hand)

(while slipping bread into his pocket with the other.)

Then he'd switch hands

to wipe the counter

(and sneak sugar cubes into his pocket.)

Switched again

and poured coffee beans into his pocket and took them home.

That's stealing.

That's why he got caught later.

We've got a new manager,

Luo.

He's the stingiest person I've ever met in my life.

Either

he complains that we use too much ketchup.

Why are you pouring so much ketchup?

If it's not enough, the customer will ask for more.

If they don't finish it, that's wasting national resources.

Or he complains that the fries are cut too thick.

Fries this thick? Did you cut them to match your size?

If the customer can't finish them, that's a waste.

Or he says the steak portions are too big.

Too big.

Basically, he only has one line.

What a waste.

So wasteful.

Your body won't be able to

handle that much tea.

I can handle it.

I have to correct all the calculations

as soon as possible.

Otherwise, it'll affect the schedule.

Pushing yourself like this will make you more likely to make mistakes.

I won't.

I never make the same mistake twice.

Coming.

Qu Hua?

Dad,

I'd like to talk with you and Mom.

Come on in.

Come.

Did Fang Mujing send you?

No.

There are some things

I wanted to talk to you about.

Do you know

why Fang Mujing married me in the first place?

It was because of her background.

She had no way to pursue

the career she loved.

So

even though she knew

I only saw her

as a substitute for my late girlfriend,

she still married me without hesitation.

At that time,

she wasn't marrying me.

She was marrying her career.

Dad.

Mom.

I know you feel this is unfair.

I wouldn't dare say

I can completely understand how you feel.

to tell you

what kind of person I know Fang Mujing to be.

The first time I met her

was on a train.

Back then,

she had cut ties with you.

But she still

secretly kept the family photo

tucked inside her math textbook.

Later,

I started to think about

marrying her.

But I still had some reservations

about her background.

So I asked her

whether she had completely cut ties with you.

Do you know

what she said?

My father's surname is Fang.

My mother's surname is Mu.

That's how I got my name.

How could I possibly draw a line between us?

My parents may have made mistakes,

but they never did wrong by me.

Father's surname is Fang.

Mother's surname is Mu.

How much risk did Mujing take

to say something like that?

Mom,

you may not know.

That in her heart,

you've always been the goal she strives for.

Although

she doesn't talk about you often,

whenever she mentions

your past achievements,

she can't hide the pride in her voice.

Mom,

you always taught her

that no matter what difficulties she faces,

she must pursue her own career.

She's done that now.

But you've shut her out.

I don't think that's fair.

This photo.

She tore it, and then taped it back together.

She tore it so no one else would find it.

And taping it back

was because she feared she might never see it again.

Let me ask you.

Do you love Fang Mujing?

Not treating her

as someone else,

but loving her.

Yes.

We've taken many wrong turns.

But I'm certain

that we truly love each other.

If one day, Fang Mujing, for the sake of her career,

had to sacrifice you,

would it hurt?

It would.

But after the pain,

I would still support her.

Ms. Mu.

There's something

I need to return to you.

Remember this.

Next time,

if you tear it,

don't tear yourself apart.

If I don't tear myself apart,

then I might tear you apart.

Some things were cleared out from home.

This is yours, right?

(Mom.)

I got two perfect scores.

Really?

(Fang Mujing: 100) That's wonderful.

What reward do you want?

I want that mirror of yours.

Here.

It's yours as a reward.

Thank you, Mom.

I'll keep working hard.

Mom.

Alright.

Don't cry.

Okay, no more tears.

Alright, come on.

Everyone, look forward.

Smile.

( Watch on www.kissasia.co, .club, .be, .org, .net, .id, .xyz )

One.

Two.

Three.

What a great photo.

You looked lovely as a child.

And even more now.

Thank you, Qu Hua.

Break up?

Wang Defa, what do you mean?

Exactly what it sounds like.

I think the two of us

shouldn't stay in a relationship right now.

What do you mean?

Have you forgotten

how you pursued me back then?

I did like you back then.

But things are different now.

What's different?

Because I was assigned to the workshop now?

Yes.

Because you work in the workshop.

Before I went to college,

who was I seeing?

Someone from the factory office.

And after college?

Now I'm dating a workshop worker.

Then what was the point of college?

Wang Defa.

Have you forgotten

how you got into college?

Who recommended you for it?

You did.

But what did you promise me back then?

You said once I graduated,

you would get me into the Publicity Division.

But now?

Forget about me.

Can you even get in yourself?

Feng Lin.

Love is a choice.

Breaking up is, too.

Let's part on good terms.

Don't come looking for me again.

Wang Defa!

What are you doing?

I just

need to go to the hospital.

Stew this.

Aihong.

Aihong.

Fei Ting, you're here.

I brought you some food.

Thank you.

Well...

Lin Mei

is still upset with us?

The bone soup in here

was her idea.

Have a seat.

Watch him finish this.

I'll go get some water.

Okay.

Come on, sit.

Time to eat, Song.

I don't want any.

Song.

Don't worry too much.

With your leg injured, you can't drive anymore.

But I thought it through on my way back.

You could work as a block. One side higher, one side lower.

That way the leverage works better.

Looks like fate is pointing you there.

Is that even a decent thing to say?

Of course it is.

Song,

I know quite a few chefs.

If you really want to learn,

I can introduce you.

Fei Ting,

let me tell you,

there's no way in my life I'd become a cook.

Song, that's not being a cook.

A prep cook.

The one who chops vegetables.

Not even qualified to handle the cooking yet.

Look at this knife work.

So precise.

If you're willing to learn,

you could master a skill like this too.

You...

Fine, don't eat then.

But you can't push yourself like this.

Come on, lie down.

You're still recovering.

That's really well cut.

If you don't want to eat,

at least have some soup.

Lin Mei asked for it to be made.

(Decision on the Dismissal of Feng Lin's Worker Status. Aug 26, 1977.)

The machines are destroyed. Feng Lin is being dismissed.

The machines burned out. They can't even be repaired.

This is really serious.

Oh...

Ms. Liu,

what happened?

Feng Lin

caused a production accident.

I heard

several machines in the sizing workshop were burned out.

They can't even be repaired.

She was dismissed.

Look.

(Decision on the Dismissal of Feng Lin's Worker Status. Aug 26, 1977)

(Worker Feng Lin of the Sizing Workshop violated operating procedures.)

(Resulting in a major equipment accident at the factory.)

It's my fault.

Vice Director Chen,

please don't dismiss me.

Do you realize

that because of your mistake,

two machines were seriously damaged?

It caused heavy losses to our factory.

With an attitude like yours,

this cannot be tolerated.

I'm sorry.

Vice Director Chen.

I promise there won't be a next time.

You're not apologizing to me.

The factory office

has already issued the dismissal notice.

Your housing

has also been reclaimed.

Fei Ni.

Fang Muyang.

(Jiangcheng No. 1 Textile Factory)

What's the rush?

Our house is back.

Really?

Feng Lin caused a production accident

and was dismissed.

The factory decided to return the house to us.

Fang Muyang.

We have a home now.

You were living here just fine.

Why should you move out?

Dad.

The factory housing has to be occupied.

If no one lives there, it'll be taken back.

Then let them take it back.

It's not like you two have nowhere to live.

That won't do.

That's the home Fei Ni and I have.

And this isn't your home?

Dad.

You won't let us move out.

Is it because you'll miss us,

or because without Fei Ni,

no one will help sort your manuscripts?

Don't talk nonsense.

Fei Ni,

if you don't want to move, then don't.

Don't listen to him.

Dad,

I've truly been very happy living here lately.

I've treated this as my own home.

But

Fang Muyang and I

really want a little home of our own.

It's alright.

If you miss us,

we'll come visit.

Alright?

Fang,

don't make things difficult for them.

You can't insist they stay and keep you company

just because you're getting older.

They have their own lives.

Didn't you hear Fei Ni?

They'll still come back.

Exactly.

Our Ms. Mu really has wisdom.

Such a broad vision.

What a flatterer.

Dad,

this is what I was thinking.

Look, my sister and brother-in-law still live in the hospital dorm.

Once we move out,

they can move back in.

You'll still have company.

Your brother-in-law agrees?

Does your sister?

Of course.

I've already asked them.

They're happy to do it.

Really?

Alright.

This way,

they can

discuss research topics together.

Discuss research topics with me?

So they're not close with you anymore?

Close, of course we are.

What are you two standing there for?

Start packing.

My little treasure is back.

(With the resolve of Yu Gong who moved the mountains,)

(no difficulty is too great to overcome.)

Chief Wang.

Fang.

Fei Ni.

You're finally back.

- We're back. - Come. Let me help.

- Careful. - It's fine.

What is this? A piano?

Yes.

My parents' piano.

That's quite something.

Come on.

Easy.

Careful.

Come on.

Fei Ni has moved back.

(Follow the Communist Party) Come help. Stop playing. Come on.

Look at this.

Parents are so generous.

They gave us such a nice piano.

My parents can't play anyway.

Giving it to you

is putting it to good use.

Then,

let me show you what I can do.

Comrade Fei Ni,

please.

- Who's playing the piano? - It sounds wonderful.

It really does.

Yes.

It must be Fei Ni's place.

(Inpatient Department)

Aihong

is off to work?

Try some.

Song,

you've been here ten days.

It's about time to be discharged.

You need to think about the future.

I know

you don't want to be a prep cook,

and you look down on being a chef.

But think about it.

When you go home,

you can cook a meal for your wife and child.

Watching them eat their fill,

and enjoying it.

That's a real kind of happiness.

I've got something to do.

I'm heading out.

Lin Mei made these wontons.
