[Episode 27]

What's this?

Take it.

This much?

I made good money this month.

There will be more next month.

I bought a piece of clothing for you. I'll go get it for you so you can try it on.

No, I'll try it on later.

Are you tired? I'll boil water for you to wash your feet.

Let me hug you for a bit.

Yining,

you didn't come visit me for a while.

Did anything happen?

Mom, don't overthink. I was just too busy to come visit you.

I do miss you.

My brothers have moved out. You must be lonely at home.

I heard on the phone a while.

They made you mad.

Are you okay?

How long ago was it?

Why didn't you care about me until now?

I was too busy.

What kept you busy?

Are you buying a home?

Well, just opening my business.

Oh, mom, I have a group of reliable friends

who know how to import many great shoes. They're all big brands. Excellent.

Well, now I have my supply of goods.

But I lack a little capital.

Do you want to help me out?

I've given you what I could,

but I'm really running out of money.

Mom, you know what? I'm doing it for your sake.

I'm making money for this family, right? Then I can support you when you're old.

How come you don't rely on me?

Do you still rely on Wang Yiding who gets bossed around all the time?

Your brother quit his job a while ago.

He wanted to start his business too.

Your sister-in-law hasn't taken care of you since a long time ago.

She keeps the money. There's nothing I can do.

Qiao Sanli. Qiao Sanli.

Ever since she married into this family, I haven't had a good day.

Yining, where are you going?

- You said you had no money. What's the point of staying here? - Yining,

you're my son.

Not that I don't want to help you, but I really can't.

What's special about being your son? You still can't help me.

Stand aside.

Yining! Yining!

- Did you have a fight with mom? - Stand aside.

Mom.

Mom.

Mom! Mom!

Mom.

Hello, Yining. Mom fainted

after you left.

We're at the emergency department of Drum Tower Hospital. Come over now.

Okay. Got it. I'll go back when I have time.

I'm busy right now. Take care of her for now.

Alright.

Got it.

I'm fine now.

I don't want to have a checkup. No checkup!

- Mother-in-law. - Why are you pulling me?

You fainted at home, so you must be hospitalized.

Ma'am, you must do a checkup.

If anything's wrong with your body, it needs to be treated.

Don't be headstrong, or there will be serious consequences.

I'm not staying in the hospital.

Once I stay in the hospital, I can't go home anymore.

Our family is like that.

- I know it. - Mother-in-law, today's medicine is more advanced.

It's so much better than it was back then. Do a checkup at least.

Nothing can compare

with the comfort of me sleeping in my bed.

If I were to die, I'd die in my own bed.

- Mom. - "Mom. Mom. Mom." Don't say "mom" anymore.

Whoever wants me to be hospitalized, I'll die.

- Mother-in-law. - Mom.

[Female. Born in 1974. 24 years old. 165 cm tall. Undergraduate. From Shaanxi. Settled in Nanjing. Young, pretty, gentle, considerate. Pager no.: 720657]

Sir, are you here to look for one?

Me?

You can say that.

So yes or no?

It depends on the conditions.

Why don't you put some introductions here?

I'm not like them.

They put someone's age, height and weight on a piece of paper.

Everyone can see it.

It's like looking for a babysitter.

Looking for a babysitter.

- You do it quite mysteriously. - Not at all.

Twenty...

Are you twenty-five years old?

Sir, you're good at telling jokes.

That's my daughter.

Wife, here. Drink some water.

Husband, this man said... Why...

(chatter)

I don't see anyone normal.

Someone robbed me! Catch the robber!

Someone robbed me!

Someone robbed me!

Catch him! Hurry!

I wish you fell to death!

Why did you rob me?

You got it back.

Are you okay, sir?

Call the police. Call the police!

It's not good.

My waist used to be fine

as long as I turned my waist. Now I can't do it.

I'm getting old.

Look. I'm fine walking.

Once I bend down a little, it hurts.

- It's uncomfortable. - What should we do?

Buy me some medicated plasters.

I'll go lie down in my bed.

Buy Musk Strengthen-Bone plasters.

Come out. Come out.

- Come on. - Take another taxi home.

No...

Take another taxi home by yourself.

I'm not sending you home. I'll pick you up tomorrow. Go home.

Simei, are you back?

So soon. Have you bought me plasters?

Simei!

Why are you quiet?

Simei, why are you sitting here?

Chenggang, is Simei sitting outside?

Why doesn't she respond to me when I talk to her?

Simei, what's wrong?

What's wrong, Simei?

What's wrong?

What's wrong?

- It's not moving. - What's not moving?

- The baby isn't moving. I... My baby isn't moving. - What's wrong?

- Father-in-law! - What's going on?

It's not moving.

Where's eldest brother? I need eldest brother.

- Where's eldest brother? - I'm here.

Eldest brother, I'm scared.

Simei, don't be scared. The doctor who's going to deliver your baby is a good friend of Sister Nanfang.

She's a very experienced obstetrician.

But our mom died because of this. I don't want to die.

Stop talking nonsense!

Is your situation the same as our mom's? Stop it.

Eldest brother, if I die, remember the good side of me.

Don't think about those times when I pissed you off.

Stop talking nonsense! Do you listen to me?

I do.

Simei, it's going to be fine. We're not worried.

Everyone will be waiting for you outside.

Your second brother is going to bring your favorite soup over.

Also your sister and Demae Yiding.

All of us will wait for you. Qi Chenggang will wait for you too.

Brother Min and Sister Xingyu will come over as well.

Where's Chenggang? Where's Chenggang? You...

Simei. I'm here. Simei.

Simei. I'm here. Simei. Don't be scared.

Are you happy now? I'll tell you what, my mom died like this.

I certainly won't surive it. Even if you look for someone else,

you must wait till I die. Did you hear me?

No, you won't. You won't.

- Eldest brother, I'm not giving birth. - You're fine.

- You're fine. Simei, don't be scared. - I can't do it!

Simei just said, "Are you happy now?" What did she mean?

Simei is just too scared.

Not just Simei, even I–

When I saw it,

I've said I won't contact you. Don't contact me.

Sanli. Sanli.

Come over and take some rest. You look more stressed than you were when you had a baby.

Of course I care about Simei.

Simei's surely going to be fine.

But if you stress over it and have a fight with Chenggang,

it won't help Simei, right?

I just think...

It's fine.

Second Aunt.

- Second Aunt. - Sanli.

Take your time.

- Second Aunt. - Simei–

- Second Aunt. - Yicheng.

How's Simei doing now?

Slow down.

Simei...

I can't imagine what it's like for her to be a mother.

Children have their own blessings. You don't have to worry.

I don't know when I can have grandchildren.

Second Aunt, don't rush Weimin.

Can I not rush him?

If I don't rush him, I'll be too old for grandchildren.

Alright. Sit down first. Here.

Time flies.

Last time

I waited outside the delivery room

feels like yesterday.

- Shufang. Shufang. - Second Aunt.

- Call a doctor. - I'll call a doctor over.

Doctor! Doctor!

- Hang in there. - Hang in there.

[Drum Tower Hospital]

Eldest brother.

Eldest brother. Why did it suddenly get worse?

Didn't she almost recover?

Last time she called me, she said she almost recovered.

Exactly. Why is she being hospitalized again?

She didn't want to worry us, so she hid it from us.

Actually her disease keeps getting worse.

See? I've told you.

I've told you to go back and visit her. You didn't listen. You didn't even call.

You don't deserve to be her daughter.

I don't deserve to be her daughter?

Qi Weiyi, are you qualified to say this as her son?

Have you gone back once since mom remarried?

I... I'm not like you.

I often call her. I care about her.

You often call her to ask for money, don't you?

- Who asked for money? - Alright. Stop it.

Most importantly,

we take turns looking after her during this period of time.

We can't let Uncle Ma do it all.

Eldest brother, mom decided to remarry Ma Yulin.

Second brother and I opposed it, didn't we?

Mom was fine back then, but she's like this now.

I think Ma Yulin is responsible for it.

So mom should be taken care of by him.

That's right. Exactly.

It should've been like this.

When she remarried, everyone was fine.

Now it's like we have to be responsible for it.

Does it even make sense?

Qi Weiyi, Qi Xiaoya.

It's our mom who's lying in there.

But we didn't agree to let mom find us a stepdad.

Alright. Your mom and Uncle Ma are still in there.

Hospital. This is a hospital.

Uncle Ma.

Uncle Ma, are you tired? Why don't you take some rest?

Xiaoya and

Weiyi are right.

I should be responsible for what happened to Shufang.

I apologize to you all.

Uncle Ma, don't do this.

Don't worry.

I, Ma Yulin, am Wei Shufang's husband.

No matter how she's doing,

I'll be responsible.

Back then she wanted to marry me

as much as I want to take care of her now.

I won't and I can't complain at all.

Don't worry about your mom.

Don't worry that your mom will disturb you.

Alright. My wife needs to rest quietly.

Please do me a favor.

Go home now.

Everyone

will get old eventually.

- Uncle Ma. - Yicheng.

Sorry for that.

Every family has a skeleton in the closet.

Actually, there's more conflict in a family.

Our family is like that too.

Your family have fights but are united.

Some families are never united.

Brother, Ma Yulin said it himself. Don't blame it on us.

Brother, then...

I'll go now.

Call me when anything happens to mom.

When this girl entered the delivery room, I was extremely worried.

I didn't expect her to have the baby this soon.

She's young after all.

Hold her.

- Take your time. - My daughter.

- Little baby. - Simei, wait here for us. Your father-in-law and I will go back

- and cook some soup. He'll bring it over soon. - Exactly.

Thank you, mother-in-law.

Let's go.

Take good care of Simei.

It's a girl. So pretty. Right, Simei?

Don't you dislike it that it's a girl?

What are you talking about? Why would I?

I'm so happy about it. I like daughters.

I was hoping to have a baby girl.

Don't you want boys?

Who wants boys? They stink.

Girls are great. They smell great and are pretty, right?

Oh, my dad told me to give this to you.

They both are on cloud nine.

Couldn't you tell just now?

You heard it?

Quite good.

What do you mean by that?

This thing is quite good. Not major, not minor.

But it shows you their true colors. Pretty good.

Now is your turn to give me a lesson and say pleasant words.

Outsiders can't judge your family matters.

I've finally realized what's going on in your family.

Now that I think of it, I think my siblings are quite cute.

I don't care.

You finally know

who treats Second Aunt well now.

Yicheng,

what should I do?

Okay, tomorrow. I'll pick you up tomorrow.

I do miss you. How could I not?

Of course. I was thinking of you today.

Do you really want me to tell you?

Okay, then listen closely.

However many minutes I don't see you

is the amount of time I'm missing you.

Sanli, what are you doing over there?

Brother, let me tell you something.

Hurry.

[Pharmaceuticals representatives are forbidden to enter medical area"

Okay.

Simei, are you thirsty? Let me pour you some water.

Do you have no shame? How long has it been since your daughter was born?

Have you no shame?

Brother, he's wronged!

- He's really going to change! - Qiao Simei, what did you tell me when you got married?

Did you forget?!

- Let go! I'm going to kill this bastard. - Just go!

Brother, don't hit him!

Don't hit him!

Don't hit him, please.

Brother, please.

Sister Sanli.

I worry too much about you!

It's okay.

It's okay.

It's okay.

Qi Chenggang is not someone you can depend on.

You and I both know that.

Be mindful.

Save a path for yourself in the future.

Don't careless dive into the whirpool

and drown yourself!

I will change!

Big Brother.

Is this situation going to be settled like this?

What can we do?

Simei is determined

to be devoted to Qi Chenggang.

Why is Simei so foolish?

It's fine, let her do whatever.

She still has to live her life.

She's struggling right now.

After her mind clears, she'll realize.

Okay, I still have things to do, so I'm leaving first.

Be safe.

Nanfang?

- Teacher Qiao. - What's wrong? Are you sick?

I have a small fever. I came to see a doctor and get some medicine.

You do look a little pale.

- Did you come by yourself? - Yes.

You haven't picked up your medicine yet, right?

Yes, I'm going to.

- I'm resting here. - No, I'll go get it for you.

- There's no need! How can I let you do that? - No, no.

Listen to me and rest here.

- It's fine. - Thank you!

Stay put a little!

Can you not stay put a little?

No, it's a friend you know that called.

Are you finished or not?!

Don't be mad, Simei.

Are you finished or not?!

Don't be angry, Simei.

It's my fault.

I was foolish.

She keeps clinging onto me.

Forgive, Simei. Forgive me!

I will peacefully live with you in the future!

I'm serious. I promise, Simei.

I will. I really will.

Second Brother brought chicken soup for you.

I'll get you a bowl of chicken soup.

This apartment is from the government. It's close to the District Agency.

I usually move here and live at home during the weekends.

- Thank you. - No problem.

It's pretty nice here.

Nanfang.

We might have owed each other back then.

How about this, I'll make you something to eat. I'll go check the fridge and make something.

You don't need to. There's nothing in the fridge.

I usually don't cook at home.

Aside from instant noodles, I don't have anything.

Besides, when your friend is sick,

and you care for them like that,

do you not need to work?

First, I don't have that many friends.

Second, my friends wouldn't be sick every day.

Third...

That's the third reason?

I'm just picking my friends.

Where are you going?

S-Since there's nothing here, I'm going to buy some groceries.

What do you like to eat? You can tell me.

I'm not picky. You can just buy whatever.

Okay, get some rest.

(chatter from TV)

(chatter from TV)

Simei, you're awake?

What do you want to eat? I can make it for you.

Sister Sanli.

Here, Simei. Drink some chicken soup.

You need to keep yourself warm, do you understand?

After giving birth, no matter what season,

you must keep yourself warm.

I bought you

shoes with a thicker and softer sole.

Where's your knitted hat?

You need to wear it.

If you get sick during the postnatal month, it will affect your whole life.

Sister, let me ask you something.

How did you know Chenggang...

I heard him on the phone.

With that woman.

Why did you have to be nosy and tell Big Brother?

Big Brother and Brother Cheng are so conflicted right now.

- My family is in the middle, so I feel uncomfortable too. - Qiao Simei.

Is what you're saying making sense right now?

I didn't mean it like that.

But I'm just saying that Chenggang can change slowly.

He already said to change.

With you jumping the gun like that it's...

Fine, Qiao Simei. Just blame that I'm nosy.

You'll taste the consequences in the future.

Don't cry in front of Big Brother then.

Sister...

Where are you going?

Are you not going to accompany Simei?

I'm going home. Yi Ding's mom is living there right now.

Someone needs to take care of her sickness too.

Didn't you get a professional aide?

I can't leave it all to Auntie.

Dad, Simei is going to stay home.

If something happens, step in and help.

The housekeeper will come in a few days.

Am I someone to take care of someone else?

Which woman doesn't have a child?

- Which woman— - Enough, enough!

Just bear it for a few days and go out less.

What kind of attitude is that?

She just gave birth to a daughter.

She'll have to pay back money in the future, too.

Drink some more.

What's wrong, Mom?

Sanli, I know.

You have a kind heart.

Before,

I was wrong to you. Don't hate me.

I'm sorry to you guys.

I'm sorry to Yi Ding.

Mom, what are you talking about? I'm your daughter.

How could children hate their own mother?

No, you don't know.

Yi Ding...

He's not my real son.

After I married Yi Ding's father,

I never had a child.

My older sister said to adopt a child.

Maybe then I could get a child of my own.

So...

- You adopted Yi Ding? - After I adopted him,

he was barely three years old. He was skinny like a monkey.

That time, I was truly caring to him.

Yi Ding was respectful and was a good child.

Two years later, I was pregnant with Yingning.

With two children, the living condition was also bad.

I didn't have a job, so I thought about sending him back.

People will be kind to each other

when nothing bad is going on.

When something happens, the human heart

will change for the worse.

Yi Ding's father

wasn't willing to let him go.

People... A person's heart...

You can't solve problems in one step.

No... I...

I was bad to Yi Ding.

- I... - Does Yi Ding know?

No, he doesn't know. He doesn't want to know.

He won't think like that.

He's a good child.

He's good? He's good and you're still bullying him!

He's good and you still say he isn't?!

He worked hard for this family since he was twenty-one years old.

You haven't treated him well once!

Your heart isn't growing sideways.

You don't have a heart in the first place, you old hag!

You're being punished now aren't you? Aren't you?!

You're right.

I am being punished.

I'm so sick now.

My actual son

is living his days without worries.

He is living comfortably.

He won't even come and see me.

Sanli, I know

you and Yi Ding have a kind heart.

You will be rewarded.

I promise

I will remember how good you are even from Hell.

I beg of you.

Don't split with Yi Ding.

Don't leave Yi Ding behind.

Live your life together well.

I won't split with Yi Ding.

We'll stay together forever.

It's my fortune to have met Yi Ding.

Why would I give up my fortune?

Based on what you just said about Yiding,

I'll send you off in the funeral service. Don't worry.

Auntie Liu, cook me a bowl of noodles with pork liver.

There are freshly-bought pork liver in the fridge.

Xiao Qiao, I really don't have time.

Also, I'm here to take care of the baby.

Hello?

The nanny isn't good? Think of something yourself then.

I'm not the owner of a nanny center.

Qi Chenggang rides a taxi everyday.

He knows a lot of people. Make him think of something.

Sister Chen, do you have any nannies that you're close with?

- Yes. - Then can you introduce me to some?

Of course.

This way.

Big Brother.

Auntie, please come in.

This is my sister, Qiao Simei.

This is Auntie Yang, a very experienced nanny.

Hello, Auntie.

Let me hold her.

This baby is so beautiful! Look at her eyebrows and soft skin.

Her hair is dark too. She's like a doll!

Auntie Yang, thank you. I have something to do, so I'm leaving first.

Qiao Simei, be respectful to Auntie Yang.

I know. Thank you, Big Brother.

There's no need to thank me. You can thank your sister.

Big Brother!

Big Brother!

Why did you come outside? It's so cold, go back in.

Don't be angry at Chenggang anymore, okay?

Big Brother. Big Brother.

I know you're doing this for my own good.

But Brother Cheng said he'll change.

He's really nice to me now. He knows to come home early and care for the child.

Forgive him.

Why would that matter?

Am I the one living with him?

So what can I do then?

You're someone important to me.

He's also someone important to me.

If you two can't get along, what will I do?

I'll be really upset.

What is your daughter's name?

Qiaoqiao. Qi Qiaoqiao.

I think it's pretty nice. I hope she'll be smarter than her mom in the future.

- Big Brother, you're the most caring to me. - You're an adult, what are you doing?

Am I as caring as Qi Chenggang?

Take the money.

Enough, go back inside.

Big Brother, be careful!
