Original subtitles

Good. Endure it a bit longer. Put some strength into it. -=Episode 4=-

Fine. Push again. Push. That's right.

What about Father?

He wants a grandson so much.

Hyo Seon.

Father, please. You mustn't let Cheong Nan enter this family.

I cannot live together with her.

We can bring up Ra Gong properly.

Madam.

This is my answer.

Even if you want to bring up a son,

Don't try to snatch my Ra Gong. Try to bear a son yourself.

Aigoo. You've worked hard. You've worked hard.

I've been working as a midwife my whole life, but I was never this nervous.

Come. Take a look at your beautiful healthy baby. Here.

It would be better if you had had a son. You already have 3 daughters .

I am sorry.

Don't be sorry. Not in the least.

You have to name the child. Did you pick a name already?

What will you name her?

Ha Na. Jang Ha Na.

Yes. It's a new beginning. We'll take it one step at a time.

Ha Na means a new beginning.

Ha Na. Aigoo. That is a good name.

For a split second, I thought I lost everything and was desperate.

I felt like I was heading towards a cliff.

This child brought me back.

This child made me believe in miracles again.

This child isn't just my fourth daughter.

Jang Ha Na. She is my living hope.

-= 7 years later =-

Elder sister. Do you see anyone coming?

I don't see anyone coming.

So, let's move.

Yes, we can start now.

To the side. To the side a bit.

Side. Side.

The dates have fallen.

Sister, you're the best.

I'm the greatest.

Come over to this side.

Fine. This side.

You've worked hard.

With your help it wasn't as hard.

Thanks to you, I am not as tired as usual.

Yes. Thank you.

Here, your reward. Take this money.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Mother! Mother!

Mother!

Walk slowly. Don't fall down.

The girls are all grown up now.

I would really like to have more children in the future.

Yes, that's right. I am living for my daughters.

Hello. Ha Myeong and Ha Na are here.

Okay. Welcome.

Did you come to pick up your mother?

Yes.

We helped Mr. Kim with the charcoal. He gave us 500 dollars.

We got some milk. This is Mother's.

And the granny we pick up newspapers for gave us snacks to eat.

And she gave us these rice cakes.

Our Jang Ha Na is adored by everyone.

Today, you went out and touched everyone.

Ha Na is really popular.

Although nobody likes me, everybody likes Ha Na very much.

Thanks to her, I am able to get some pocket money and cakes as well.

How could anyone not like Ha Myeong?

Everyone must like my reliable and handsome daughter.

It's because I'm very stupid.

Where did you hear that? Don't say stuff like that.

Kai Yeong said it. He also said I am big.

And that although I am old enbough, I cannot go to school.

Because I'm stupid.

That's not true.

If you say something like that again, Mother and I will scold you.

Yes. I will be scolded if I say I'm stupid.

Don't scold me.

I take back what I said.

Elder sister is the best.

Hurry, we have to go and prepare dinner.

See you again.

Let's go.

You have worked hard. See you tomorrow.

Okay.

Please eat.

Younger sister, sorry. I'm too fat.

Sister is fine.

Come and sit next to me.

Yes, that's right. Everyone make space.

Hurry up and eat.

Ha Myeong's mom. Ha Myeong's mom.

All of you eat first. Mom will go out for a moment.

Okay, Mother.

You still insist on not going.

Please, understand. I cannot leave.

You owe me rent for 6 months already.

You want me to understand?!

You didn't even give me the deposit. How many times did I ask for it?

I can't stand it anymore. Vacate the room.

Sorry. My second daughter started attending junior high school.

The school just started. We cannot move now.

I will find a solution. Please give me some time.

I know that you have problems. But do you think I have it easy?

If you ask for time again, I won't listen to you.

I warned you.

Ajumma. I said I want to wear this to a friend's birthday party.

It is not ironed.

Miss, the birthday party is tomorrow.

I planned to have it dry-cleaned it today.

Saek Ra's birthday is today.

Is that so? Could you wear something else?

I know you have a dress that looks exactly like this one.

It is not the same.

It doesn't have a bow and the buttons aren't red.

Ajumma. You used the rag to clean my things again.

What? I did not.

You already said that you don't want me to touch your things.

I didn't clean it.

I can tell that you wiped the cover. See?

What is this?

Sorry. Sorry, Young Master.

The birthday party got postponed until tomorrow.

Go and dry clean this.

Don't touch this ever again.

Ra Gong. Let's go to the playground.

Yes, Sister. Let's go to the playground.

This seems a little outdated.

But this one is not too shabby.

Do you have my size?

Not this one. But, we have other styles.

Let me see them.

Yes, Madam.

Madam, Chairman will be back early to eat.

Chairman's car is already leaving the research institute.

You said he was meeting with a congressman today.

It has been cancelled.

Customer. Customer.

Father, I have prepared a special mixed meal.

Grandpa, please eat.

Fine.

Ra Gong's mother, have you eaten?

Come to my room for a moment.

Yes, Father.

What's wrong that Chairman called you? Something must be going on.

Let me finish eating. I have to go see him.

What have you done wrong?

Nothing. Really.

Did you use the credit card too much again?

I didn't.

Did you spend cash then?

I did not.

Are you going to do plastic surgery?

Don't you dare do it.

I won't.

How would I be able to face Father?

Then, what's wrong?

Granny. Mother.

I want to eat with Grandpa and Ra Gong.

Na Hui. They are eating the same meal we are.

What is the difference?

Is something wrong with eating with us?

Even if we eat the same meals, I want to eat with Ra Gong.

He and Grandpa are always eating together.

The rice they eat seems much tastier.

There is a difference.

Yes, that's right. I though you would feel that way.

Fine. Let Granny think about it.

Please eat.

Madam.

Finish eating and go see Chairman.

I heard you went to the school.

Yes. I went there to celebrate the New Year.

I even brought fruits for the teacher.

I went to the school to ask if they are having any difficulties.

Why did you ask about the school affairs?

I was just passing by and thought of it.

Set up an education fund

In the name of the late Min Seok.

It is appropriate as he was a professor there.

Set up the fund.

Then, they won't have any financial problems.

Make sure the funding is used only for education.

Don't ever go to the school again and interfere.

I didn't interfere.

Whatever. Just don't go to the school again.

If an investor appears at the school, it is considered an insult to the professors.

Don't you have anything to say?

Yes, Father. I absolutely won't go there again.

Yes, I won't ever go again.

If you go to the school meeting again, I will consider it as you intentionally making me lose face.

You understand, right?

Yes, Father.

Sit down. Sit down.

I told you not to go to the school meeting.

Why don't you listen to me? Do you want to be scolded?

I wanted to know how Na Hui is doing. She worked so hard in the sports competition.

I am not allowed to do anything or say anything.

You know very well that Chairman hates it when you interfere with school affairs.

It angers me so much, that I have just listen to others and obey them.

Let me live the life I want.

This is all because of you.

What? Why I am the one at fault?

You show too much weakness in front of Father.

Father never said we had to eat separately.

Everytime you come, we have to eat separately.

Even Na Hui has to eat with us.

Should I go to the Chairman then? I bet he will say that it is fine and add a pair of chopsticks onto the table.

We don't belong to the family.

It is exactly because of this that I am careful about not bothering Chairman.

Isn't it because you and Grandfather worked for Hwang Su Soy Sauce?

Isn't that the reason why you always lower your head?

You're not Chairman's servant.

What are you saying?

You're not a servant.

Now, I am this family's daughter-in-law.

I've been their daughter-in-law for 8 years.

Ra Gong is already in junior high school.

Shouldn't we be doing whatever we want to do?

I feel like I am choking here.

Na Hui must also continue living like this.

The child is ambitious.

You know that Chairman treats grandsons and granddaughters differently.

He may treat them differently.

But Hye Seon's daughters were allowed to eat with their grandpa.

I understand. I also have such thoughts. You have to wait a while longer.

21st president, Jeon Do Han.

This was presented to my late father.

It is a memento of my father.

But, why are you giving this to me?

I don't have anything valuable.

Please, give me more time.

Tomorrow, very early in the morning, I will go to work at the construction site.

I will give you the money soon. Take this as a guarantee.

I beg of you. Don't evict me.

My two daughters are attending school.

You know our situation.

Please.

I don't need a wristwatch.

I already have a new tenant. I can't help you.

Your mother will be coming back late.

Today, Pyo Ho will be coming home very late.

Don't wait for her and go home.

We want to go home with our mother.

We must wait for our mother to return. We will go home together.

We're not going without her. My mother has worked hard.

I want to carry her back.

Fine.

The oldest one is slow and the youngest is still so young.

The suffering of Ha Myeong's mother is endless.

Mother. Mother.

Don't be sick.

Are you all right?

These past few days, your face has been very pale.

Have you eaten at all?

Yes, I'm all right.

I will carry this. You go and carry that.

Thank you.

Mother. Mother.

Mother.

Mother.

Mother. You can't be sick.

Didn't you promise

to protect us? How can you do that if you're sick?

Then you can't be sick.

Don't cry.

Mother. You can't be sick.

Sister, don't cry.

Mother is already sad enough.

Yes. I shall not cry. I am always shedding tears.

I'm going out for a moment.

Ha Na, Mother is all right. Don't worry.

Ha Myeong's mother! Ha Myeong's mother!

You should vacate the house. How come you're still lying down?

Do you think if you act like this I will take pity?

No. No, it's not like that.

I was injured. I will be all right if you let me rest for today.

Really.

One more day. I don't want to hear that.

I've told you several times to vacate the house.

Fine. Fine.

Mother. Mother.

The doctor wanted me to name a guardian.

So, I called Eldest Aunt on the phone.

What happened? How could it come to this?

She is malnourished and her back is injured.

If she continues like this, it will kill her.

Fortunately, I've come from the States.

What do we do about her?

Ha Na, stay here and wait.

Eldest Aunt will go and talk to your mother.

You idiot, bringing up four children.

How can one person do it?

At the construction site, you carried tens of thousands of bricks.

Was that the solution?

You have four mouths to feed.

But, what will you do when your health is bad?

Please stop.

Please don't say anything for now.

It has been very difficult for me, Aunt.

So for now, please let me get some rest.

How tired you must be.

You were being evicted from your house.

Ha Seon and Ha Jin, if we had left,

wouldn't have been able to go to school.

I cannot move.

I cannot move out, Aunt.

You need help.

First, send Ha Seon and Ha Jin away.

I'll take them in until your circumstances improve.

You can't, Aunt. I can't be separated from my children.

You can't be separated? You and your children won't survive.

Ha Seon is also suffering from malnutrition.

The child is still growing. What are you going to do?

You will die. The children will die too.

The youngest has no birth certificate.

If she doesn't have a birth certificate, she can't go to school.

How is she going to school?

All of you don't have medical insurance.

What will happen if one of you falls sick?

My situation is also not so good.

But, in the United States, I can still get by.

I will be responsible for Ha Seon and Ha Jin until they finish secondary school.

Meanwhile, you must find your path in life.

Ha Seon. Ha Jin.

Leave with Eldest Aunt.

You must work and study hard.

Yes, Mother.

You must write to me often. Call Mother too.

Don't cry. They're going to the United States to live.

They won't be going to a bad place.

Yes, that's right, Aunt. They're going to a good place. I'm sorry.

Right. That's right. It's a good place.

The United States is 95 times bigger than our country.

For food, language and land,

the bigger the better.

That's what Younger Sister, Ha Na, said.

Fine. Fine. Let's go. Quickly, go. Let's go.

That is our things.

It was urgent so I packed up your things.

Find another place.

Don't bother saying anything.

Find another place.

Ajumma, I beg you not to be like this.

It's so late. Where would I go? Where do I bring the children?

I don't care.

Right now, is there someone in a more difficult position than me?

Is there someone even more desperate?

I don't know. I only know that this is my most difficult time.

I only have one request.

I don't expect anything else.

How do I protect my children?

Tell me.

As a mother, how do I protect my children?

Tell me.

For the children, what should I do?

Mother, don't cry.

You must be worried. Sorry, Ha Na.

I'm sorry because I'm a daughter.

Daughter, why? You have nothing to apologize for.

I know about the matter with Hwang Su Soy Sauce.

I've heard you and Eldest Aunt talk about it.

If I were a son,

Mother wouldn't have to suffer.

If I were a son,

you wouldn't be sick.

Sisters also wouldn't have had to go abroad.

It would have been good if I were a son.

Sorry for being a daughter, Mother.

It would have been good if I were a son.

This, is this valuable? You can't use this.

Ajumma, I will still give you the money.

Just wait a few days.

I will go and get some money.

Meanwhile, take this wristwatch.

Okay.

Thank you.

Ha Na.

Yes, Mother.

Mother will protect you and Elder Sister.

But, you must help Mother. Can you?

Yes, Mother. Tell me.

I will do anything.

Mother. Mother.

Mother.

What's wrong? What's wrong?

Hye Seon appeared in my dreams.

I feel uneasy.

I don't understand why Hye Seon was in my dream. I'm very confused.

She was kicked out 8 years ago.

Why am I suddenly dreaming about her?

Everything is fine, right?

Of course, everything is fine. What can happen?

Forget about the time with Hye Seon. Your position has already been established.

Doesn't Secretary Kim know

that we separated Hye Seon and Father?

To Hye Seon, it was Father who kicked her out.

Yes, and Father thinks Hye Seon left on her own.

It's almost Ra Gong's father's memorial day.

So you should be in a sad mood.

Really?

Father, I am Ha Myeong's mom. Are you well?

It's been a long time since I've seen you. I don't know what to say first.

I'm writing this letter because have something to say.

Youngest has come to the age where she will attend primary school.

But, he cannot attend primary school.

So, I have contacted you.

It's been 8 years since I left the family.

I've experienced a lot of things during this period of time.

When I left home, I was already pregnant.

I wasn't sure whether I could safely give birth to a child.

I was very worried, but I gave birth to the fourth child.

This child is a boy.

My husband picked his name when he was alive.

He's called Jang Eun Seong.

I thought you got off work.

I came to see Chairman. Is he around?

He's not here. Chairman went for a walk.

Where did he go? I will find him.

Why did you come here?

Why are you so surprised?

It's like you were caught doing something.

What is that? Hand it over.

It's a letter for Chairman.

As though I don't know that, understand?

I'm asking you what it's about.

What does Hye Seon want? Is she asking for money?

Or is she remarrying?

Father, I am Ha Myeong's mom. Are you all right?

Hye Seon gave birth to a son.

Ha Na, when you acted,

what kind of roles did you play?

I acted before as a teacher, a mother and a father.

I've also acted as a doctor and a nurse.

Our Ha Na is a great actress.

Compared with other kindergarteners, I'm good.

So now, Mother wants you to act in a game.

Can you do well?

Yes, Mother.

From now on, you are my son.

Not a daughter, a son.

Very soon, I'll bring my son to see Father.

Ha Na, while you play the acting game,

you need to use another name.

What will I be called?

Jang Eun Seong.

Your father said if I give birth to a son, he must be called Eun Seong.

Jang Eun Seong.

Ha Na, now, you are Jang Eun Seong.

Yes, Mother.

Mother, it's so huge. Is this Hwang Su Soy Sauce?

This is Hwang Su Soy Sauce.

This is where Grandpa lives. Father and Mother used to live here.

Hwang Su Soy Sauce.

-=Next Episode Preview=-

Hye Seon gave birth to a son.

What did Ha Myeong's mom say?

You want to put your son on Chairman's family registry?

The family registry is an important issue.

How can you have me excluded?

I didn't expect that I would need your permission.

Where did that child come from?

Do a paternity test.

You. What is your name?
