(present)

Is that the girl

whose ill fate killed Song's father

on their wedding night?

She's ill-fated.

Sia sue nang! I hate her!

You have a lot of responsibility on your hands.

Don't let my problems with your mother

break your focus from work.

I never knew that my father put the factory up

to take out such a huge loan.

Are you sure you can do it?

Aren't you just all talk?

Hang in there just a little longer.

Things will get better.

My son will never leave me.

But I'm not sure if he'll leave his wife for his mother's sake.

Let's see how long she'll be able to endure me.

Song, come join me for breakfast. I've been waiting for you.

(Traditional Love)

Yes, Mom.

Excuse me.

Mom.

Did you sleep well

last night?

Song.

It was very difficult...

to get myself to fall asleep.

You understand, don't you?

Mom.

Put your mind at ease.

You need to take care of yourself.

Tell Pim if you want to go somewhere

or are craving something.

She can take you wherever you want.

Isn't that right, Pim?

Yes, don't hesitate to let me know, Mother.

Let's eat.

Don't you think your mother is starting to accept me?

She even let me call her "Mother".

I told you

that these things take time.

Once you give her a grandchild,

she will love you like her own.

I'm going to work.

Please look after my mother.

I will.

A child?

Giao, what's with you today? You've been dropping everything.

I don't feel so well, Madame.

Why don't you go see a doctor?

That's all right. I will feel better after getting some rest.

Go to bed then.

I'll clean it up myself.

Stop it. I'll do it.

That's all right, Mother. I'll clean it up.

You guys go get some rest. I'll take care of it.

Come on.

You offered.

It's your call.

Pim.

Yes, Aunt Giao.

Have you got medicine?

Do you want to see a doctor?

I actually need a small favor from you?

Sure, what is it?

Can you do Madame Hong's laundry?

She hates it when her dirty clothes pile up.

I've put them in a basket in her bedroom.

Sure, I was going to do my laundry anyway.

Also,

I will need you to clean Madame Hong's room

and the rooms downstairs.

Aunt Giao, go get some rest.

I've got this. Don't worry about it.

All right.

I'm counting on you.

Giao.

Go to bed already.

Yes, Madame.

When was the last time Aunt Giao did the dishes?

What the...

Seriously, Aunt Giao?

Do you expect me to do all this laundry?

I thought you had to do laundry. Where are you going?

I'm getting Yod's laundry.

That's good.

Please wash my bedsheets and the pillowcases too.

I usually wash them every other day.

Aunt Giao, why aren't you in bed?

I'm getting my medicine.

By the way, I forgot to tell you that the washing machine is broken.

What do you mean? It was working just fine the other day.

It broke yesterday.

We are waiting for the handyman.

How am I going to wash these clothes?

How about this? I'll take them to a laundromat.

No.

You cannot wash my clothes with other people's clothes.

I don't like it.

What do you want me to do?

Do you expect me to hand wash all these clothes, Aunt Giao?

Wait.

Why does it feel like you are doing this on purpose?

You don't have to do it if you don't want to,

but all daughters-in-law of Chinese families

are responsible for doing the chores

and looking after their mother-in-law

in exchange for their mother-in-law's love and trust.

Is that so?

I should do them too then.

You sound a lot better though.

Do you feel well now?

Bring it on.

Oh my gosh!

What's the matter?

What on earth are these?

What are these?

What's the matter?

Whose bras and underwear are these?

They are mine.

Exactly, they are yours, not mine!

What's going on, Mother?

Did nobody teach you

never to wash those disgusting things with other garments?

Especially my clothes.

Gross. They are dirty and disgusting. It will bring bad luck.

I haven't even washed my clothes yet.

I was going to hang them elsewhere too.

These clothes are all yours.

Well, you offered to do the laundry.

I didn't force you to do it, did I?

It's my fault for trying to please you

by offering to do the chores.

It got you throwing underwear at me.

Do you really wish to please me?

Break up with my son

and get your stuff out of my house then.

I'll even pay you to do it.

No.

Then stop saying you would do anything to please me.

I'm willing to do anything

except break up with Yod.

Never.

You shameless woman!

I've chased you away countless times,

but you just won't leave.

Oh please. So this is the best you can do.

How careless, lavish

and lazy can you get?

Somebody's clearly all talk.

Get lost!

Sia sue nang!

Yod.

What did you buy?

Well.

My mother called and said Aunt Giao didn't feel well.

There's no one to cook dinner,

so I bought food for us.

Listen, Yod.

- Today... - Song.

- Yes, Mom. - You are back.

Yes, I am.

I'm starving so badly I could die.

- Take this. - Give me. Let me help you.

Take this. I'll carry the rest.

Follow me. Come on.

- Song, hurry. - Yes.

- Pim, let's eat. - I'm starving.

I'm coming, Mom.

- Move quicker. I'm about to faint. - There's one more dish.

- Put it on a plate. - Okay.

Wait a second.

- Okay, here you go. - There's a lot of food today.

We've got squid and sausages.

I'm hungry.

Come on.

Now that I think about it,

you should ask Pim to cook for you.

Pim makes many delicious dishes.

My mother didn't want to bother you.

She didn't want to bother me?

It's true. Your wife has been doing chores all day.

I couldn't ask her to cook too.

Sit down.

Sit, Pim. Let's eat.

Everything looks amazing.

- Do you want some chicken? - Sure, thanks.

- Eat up. - I will.

Do you like fried mussels?

Are you good at cooking, Pim?

I'm not bad at it.

You should cook and sell it.

It's easier to make money by selling food than spreading your legs...

wide open.

That's not a good idea.

Yod wouldn't want me either selling food or spreading my legs for men.

How can you say that, Pim?

Your mother...

Your mother started the joke.

Don't you think it was funny?

It's hilarious.

What a joke.

She told me to sell food.

- Let's just eat. - It's hilarious.

- Eat up, Song. - I will.

Are you all right?

Yes.

- Yod. - Yes.

Can we move out?

We can rent a small room somewhere. It doesn't need to be a house.

Wait, Pim.

What's the matter? What happened?

I never thought that I would have to face

such a wicked mother-in-law.

What are you talking about?

Whatever.

You have no idea what I had to go through today.

Of course I know.

My mother called me today.

She said

you helped her with the chores.

You even did laundry, didn't you?

She told you that?

Yes.

I told you before

that your goodwill would win her over one day.

Thank you for putting up with her.

You are the best.

Listen, Yod.

If I keep living with your mother,

I will seriously go crazy.

Let's move out.

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

- Mom! - What is it this time?

- Song, you have to help me. - Mom!

I'm afraid of dying from a heart attack like your father.

I'm scared, Song.

Mom, don't be scared. I'm right here. Don't be scared.

- I'm right here. - I'm really scared.

Song, don't ever leave me.

Please, Song.

Yes, Mom. I'm not going anywhere.

Song.

You have to help me, Song.

I'm here, Mom.

What a great actress.

- It's okay. Don't be scared. - I'm a good actress myself.

Bring it on.

Morning, Mom.

- Are you leaving for work? - Yes.

How are you feeling today?

Same as every day. I didn't get enough sleep last night.

Gosh.

Where's your wife?

She's still sleeping.

She said she did a lot of chores yesterday,

- so she... - She didn't do much.

Giao does the same amount of work but doesn't complain about it.

- Isn't that right, Giao? - Yes, Madame.

She probably just wants your attention.

Mom.

I'm begging you.

Please try to accept Pim.

Pim's doing whatever she can to earn your acceptance.

You are blinded by your wife.

- I love her, Mom. - I don't want to hear it.

You are not a kid anymore.

You are running your father's business.

Don't act like a silly kid crazy in love.

I get to decide who I like or hate.

If you expect me

to forget the fact that your father died on your wedding night,

I can't.

Your wife

will always be a jinx to me. That sia sue nang.

Mom.

If you keep this up,

Pim and I will have to move out.

Then I'll have to split my time up

to spend with each of you.

Are you choosing your wife

over me?

I see. You don't care about me at all.

Aren't you afraid I will die from a heart attack like your father?

Go ahead and leave.

Mom.

I don't want to do that.

Renting a place costs money.

- Especially with our financial... - Why?

We have to be smart with money.

It's the only way to save up.

I'm not hungry anymore.

I'm going to work.

Mom.

I'm begging you.

When you stay home with Pim,

I don't expect you to talk or mingle with her.

Just please don't insult her.

I'm begging you. She's my wife after all.

Time will bond you two together.

Please. Trust me, Mom.

It's almost noon, yet she's still sleeping.

She's sleeping her life away.

I feel so sorry for Song.

His wife is such a sleepyhead.

Are you going somewhere?

I'm going to pamper myself with my husband's money, Mother.

You are honest about using Song's money now.

And look at your clothes. You look like a slut.

Yes.

This slut is going out for some fun.

I'm going to get my hair and nails done.

I broke many nails doing chores yesterday, Mother.

I'm planning to get a massage too.

Mother.

Do you want to come with me?

You could use a facial massage and some Botox.

Your face is extremely wrinkly.

Leave me alone!

Cao za​ bhou!

I mean well.

Doing something to relax will relieve your stress

and get your mind off what's been bothering you.

I would never go anywhere with you.

You would kill me.

Who would do that?

Aunt Giao.

Are you better now?

You surely recovered fast.

I'm leaving now.

I'm going to use Yod's money

to pamper myself.

Giao, did you hear her? Did you hear what she said?

I knew she was a terrible person.

No one can pretend to be a good person forever.

She finally revealed her true self. Did you see that?

Yes, Madame.

Luckily, I forbade Song from registering his marriage with her.

I'm going to chase her out of Song's life one day.

Just wait and see.

Aoy and Chod,

I pretended to be happy

and thought of all of this as a joke

so that I don't go crazy.

My mother-in-law still hates my guts just because she thinks

I'm ill-fated.

- As I face her hatred day by day, - That cao za​ bhou.

I start to question

how long I will be able to put up with it.

I knew she was a terrible person.

No one can pretend to be a good person forever.

I'm going to chase her out

of Song's life one day.

Just wait and see.

Will the love

Yod and I have for each other get us through this hard time?

Or will I go crazy

before that happens?

Our furniture at the mall

and the vendor booth

has been destroyed by the flood.

Isn't the mall going to take responsibility?

The mall is having a hard time too.

The flood did a lot of damage.

The flooded furniture was reserved for our customers too.

We have to produce a new batch.

But right now,

our company is losing money.

What are you going to do?

Can we...

fire some employees?

Can we

fire some employees?

I understand if that's what it takes for the company

to survive.

No, let's not do that.

I'll talk to the bank

and ask for another loan.

I'll show them our contract with the Korean client too.

Don't worry.

We will get through this together.

You must have been under a lot of stress.

Wish me luck, Dad.

Song, you are home.

- Have you had dinner? - Yes.

Are you looking for your wife?

She isn't home yet.

I see.

She said she was going out

to waste your money

by going shopping and getting a facial.

She probably didn't mean that.

The Pim I know

is very careful with money.

She's not the person you used to know anymore.

Also, she uses your money now.

Let's get you to bed.

- I'll walk you there. - Wait.

I've been waiting for you as I have something to tell you.

What is it?

Pim.

You are home, Yod.

Ask her.

Mom.

What's going on?

- I... - Say it, Song.

Mom,

let's talk tomorrow. I'm exhausted.

Stop.

Just say it, Yod. What's the matter?

Pim.

I...

You stole my diamond earrings.

You thief.

Me? Stealing your earrings?

Have you been watching too many TV dramas?

Mother-in-laws who accused their daughter-in-laws for stealing

only seem to exist in the TV.

Are you saying I'm lying?

Are you saying I made this whole thing up to accuse you?

Yes.

Look at her, Song.

See?

No daughter-in-law talks back to her mother-in-law.

Look at her.

Look at the way she's looking at me.

It's like she's going to kill me.

No mother-in-law falsely accuses her daughter-in-law of theft either.

It's not a false accusation.

- Giao. - Yes, Madame.

Tell her what happened.

Her earrings went missing

the day you went in to pick up her laundry.

You spent many hours cleaning up her bedroom as well.

And?

Is that enough reason to accuse me of theft?

It's not just that!

I told Giao to search your bedroom.

Continue, Giao.

I found these.

Aoy, Chod, do you think

prejudice is powerful enough to make someone fabricate a story

so they can frame that person they hate?

See, Song? You saw that, didn't you?

Giao found my diamond earrings in your bedroom.

You hid them under the bed.

Are you going to come up with an excuse?

Hold on, Mother.

Is this how you're going to play?

Do you really think it's believable?

The police are going to laugh at you if you go to them.

So what if they do?

I have evidence.

The evidence you pressed into your own hands?

Oh, where are the CCTV cameras?

Are there any in this house?

- Where are they? - Pim.

- I don't see any. - But I have a witness!

See? She's the witness.

Aunt Giao works for you. Who's going to believe her?

They'll be convinced you two are working together against me.

Where are they?

- Let me have a look. - Pim, don't.

- These? - No, Pim.

- Hand them over, Aunt Giao. - Pim.

Don't do it, Pim. Aunt Giao, give them to her.

Give them to her.

So? These earrings?

Oh, maybe I should file a report against her.

What should I charge her with, Aunt Giao?

- For searching my bedroom. - Mom!

- Or slandering. It's a lot. - Mom!

Mom, don't. What are you doing?

You think you're clever?

Thief!

Thank you for giving me another nickname.

First, you called me "bad luck".

- And now it's thief. - Yes!

You're bad luck and a thief!

Stop! That's enough!

Both of you! How did it come to this?

- We should just go to bed... - No!

We can't leave the problem unsolved.

I have to kick this thief who brings bad luck out tonight!

- No, you can't... - And why can't I?

That's right, Yod. Why can't she?

I can't stand it anymore, Yod.

I've endured it for far too long.

No matter how much of a two-faced woman you are,

I'll never fall for your trickery!

You have to break up with my son

and move all your things out of my house tonight!

Okay.

And tell Aunt Giao to use salt to clean up the bad luck I brought.

- Of course! - Stop! Enough!

Mom, listen to me.

Pim's not leaving this house.

Song, you're obsessed with your wife!

I'm not, Mom.

I'm about to become a father.

Huh?

What?

Pim's pregnant.

She's pregnant with my child.

So are you really going to

kick your grandchild out of the house?

W... wait.

What did you just say? She's...

- She's pregnant? - That's right, Mom.

We could be

having a son.

Then you'll be having

a grandson.

Yod...

I should take her upstairs to rest.

She's pregnant and shouldn't be under a lot of stress.

You should go to bed too, Mom.

Aunt Giao, take my mom to her room.

- Let's go, Pim. - Madame.

- Madame. - Giao!

Is he... Is he...

- Is he about to have a baby? - Yes, Madame!

- Madame! - I'm...

I'm about to become a grandmother?

Yes, Madame!

Giao!

Dear! Dear!

Dear, we're about to become grandparents!

Dear, we're going to be grandparents!

Can you hear me?

Am I about to have a grandchild?

I'm going to be a grandmother!

Oh!

Dear, are you happy?

Are you happy?

We're about to have a grandchild!

Why did you lie to your mom?

Do you think it's going to end the conflict?

And did it end the conflict just now?

Pim.

Pim.

I told you.

My mom just wants a grandson.

Within my family,

whether it's on my dad's or my mom's side,

I'm the only male there is.

That's why I have to do everything to make things right.

But you know I don't like lying.

And look at what your mom and Aunt Giao did today.

They made up a story about me stealing things.

What were they thinking?

She's capable of doing such a thing because she hates me.

Will I be able to stand it if she does something worse in the future?

That's it. That's why I came up with the idea.

If my mom can lie to us,

then we can lie to her as well.

Okay? Don't overthink it, Pim.

I have to take a shower.

Yod,

I'm really not comfortable with it.

And I don't like what we're doing either.

Pim, trust me.

Mom wants a grandchild.

And we'll give her one.

They say a baby can bring people together.

Right?

Countless couples broke up even though they have kids.

Sometimes a baby might not bring people together

but chain them up instead.

Especially if our child's

going to grow up while your mom's prejudiced toward me,

there's no way it'll happen.

I won't have a baby until I'm sure

it's going to be born into a family that's ready to have one

and not be born as someone's tool.

It's not fair for the baby, Yod.

Pim,

I think you're overthinking it.

Hm?

Hang in there a little bit longer.

Things are going to get better eventually,

okay?

I just want people in this house to live in harmony.

I already have my hands full at the office.

I don't want to come home and deal with family problems.

Please? Just hang in there a bit longer,

okay?

And how long do I have to hang in there?

Your mom lied about me stealing her stuff today,

and now you're lying about me being pregnant.

What's going to happen next?

You know what?

Right now, I think

our marriage

is so meaningless and silly.

It's not like that, Pim.

Pim? Pim!

Pim! Pim! Where are you going?

Hm?

To get out of a house that's full of people who hate me.

Pim, come on!

Where are you going?

Pim.

Yod, I can't stand it anymore.

I can't stand it anymore!

And I'm starting to fear your mom.

I understand, Pim.

I understand.

Pim, please give it a bit more time.

Hang in there a bit longer, okay?

(Notice of Intended Marriage Application)

(Songyod)

(Pimpa)

(Certificate of Marriage)

What do you think, my lawfully-wedded wife?

Do you think a marriage certificate will make your mom like me?

But at least

it serves as proof of the love I have for you.

I'll protect you

and take care of you until I die.

I promise.

Aoy, Chod,

it's not because I'm now legally married.

I never really cared about this piece of paper in the first place.

But it's Yod's promise

to love

and take care of me until his final day

that motivates me to endure the hardships.

I'll wait for the day that our family

can be like other families.

You're going to be a grandfather now, Dear.

Are you happy?

In any case,

I can't help but feel sorry for Mother.

But our family was peaceful

during that time.

So all I could do was stay silent.

What is it, Aunt Giao?

Madame told me to make you some herbal soup for the baby.

Mm! That's a very strong smell.

It's "zab san tai bao".

It calls for various types of herbs.

I bought them from a Chinese herbalist in Chinatown.

It helps with the circulatory system, pregnancy,

bloating,

and blood flow.

That sounds very beneficial.

It must be very bitter,

judging by the strong smell.

I stewed the soup all night long.

Last night, Madame came down to check on it at midnight.

Drink it all up

so she can be happy.

Aunt Giao,

about you and Mother accusing me of stealing.

Are we just going to forget about it?

Let's forget all of the horrible things.

You've also been putting up with everything for a long time.

Your child could be the help you need.

Drink up or it'll get cold!

Drink it all, okay?

Ow!

- Ah! - Oh dear.

- I'll help you. - Be gentle!

You'll hurt my grandchild!

It's okay. I'll handle it.

Did she drink the whole thing?

She did, Madame.

Good.

Boil some water

and stew the soup over low heat, okay?

Let her drink it all this afternoon.

The herbalist said you can use each bag twice, understand?

- Yes, Madame. - Good.

Oh? Why are you still standing there?

Uh...

Pim asked me to thank you for the herbs.

I'm doing it for my grandchild.

Anyway, Giao.

I'm being... what do they call it?

A hypocrite?

Oh, don't forget.

Take good care of her. Don't let her lift anything heavy.

She seems clumsy as it is.

Something could happen to my grandchild, understand?

Yes, Madame.

The client from Korea has been emailing and calling us

about the order that's been behind schedule for months.

They said if we can't fulfill the order by next week,

we'll be penalized.

And why are we behind schedule?

Are we short-staffed?

There are still a lot of orders for clients to fulfill.

A lot of the goods were damaged during the flood.

We had to reproduce almost the whole lot.

It wasn't an easy time.

But you've been able to demand payment from the orders

we've already fulfilled, haven't you?

They've postponed it.

I've already got someone on the case.

Why did you let them postpone?

Samret,

there have only been expenses

and no income.

This is bad.

Yes, Sir.

But I've warned you before

about how risky it'd be to deal with the client from Korea.

I know.

If everything falls through,

it'll be my responsibility.

Here's some herbal soup.

Drink now while it's hot, okay?

Sure. But I have to go to the bathroom first.

Thank you, Aunt Giao.

Oh, Song? You're home.

I was about to text you and ask when you're coming home.

Come and sit here.

What's the matter, Mom?

Have you taken your wife to a doctor?

I think it's possible to learn the gender of the baby now.

Work's been very busy at the factory.

I haven't had time to take Pim to see a doctor.

Are you crazy? You can't let this happen.

If you're not going, then tell your wife to go soon, understand?

Why don't you try telling her yourself?

I think it's best if you do it.

Oh, and don't forget to tell her to

have that ultrasound thing. It should be possible to tell now

whether it's a boy or a girl.

And tell me right away, understand?

I actually want a grandson.

I need him to continue the bloodline, understand?

Hi! It's a relaxing night tonight.

I have some products I'd like to recommend.

Check out my shop if you're at home.

Pim, what are you doing?

I'm rehearsing my lines to promote an online shop.

Whoa, is that what you're doing?

- Mm. - Great.

Well, it's boring to stay home and not earn money.

It's actually difficult to talk in front of a camera.

Yod,

maybe I should work with you?

I don't think so, Pim.

It's quite busy

at the company lately.

Is something the matter?

No, we just had to rush production for a major client.

I'm going to take a shower.

Wait.

What about

the...

When are you going to tell your mom the truth?

It's been two months already.

Let's do it this way.

We're going out of town

this week.

And when we're back,

we'll tell Mom...

That I've miscarried?

- I'm going to take a shower. - Okay.

Eat up, Jittra, Koi.

Here. Try this.

Here. Take some more vegetables. Eat your fill.

Hong, I'm so glad to see you happy again.

Honestly,

when your husband passed away,

I was so worried you might not be able to come to terms with it.

By the way, how are things with your daughter-in-law?

Are you two getting along now?

So-so. What else can I do?

She's pregnant now.

The child is my grandchild, so I'll have to put up with the mother.

Every grandparent has a soft spot for their grandchild.

Congratulations.

Thanks.

Excuse me. I have to answer this.

Oh? What was that?

My daughter's been crying in secret

almost every day. She's fighting with her boyfriend.

He's a womanizer.

Well, just break up with him if he's unfaithful.

Why would she choose to be stuck with him?

Look at her. She's perfect.

She has looks, money, and an education.

She should just move on.

Of course. It'd be nice if things worked out that way.

It's a shame Song's already married.

If he was married to Koi,

- we'd be... - We'd be happy by now.

That's right.

We wouldn't have to worry about the spouses they've chosen.

But nothing is certain.

Even if there's a child, if that woman still misbehaves,

I'll tell Song to break up with her

and raise my grandchild myself.

All right!

Then don't ever call me again!

Koi?

- Is something wrong? - Song,

are you here to see your mom?

That's right.

She's in the dining room.

Okay.

Please don't cry.

Thank you.

Uh...

I don't know what happened to you.

But hang in there.

Anyway,

I'll wait inside.

Ow!

- Ah! - Oh dear.

It's okay. I'll handle it.

I'll have to go to the bathroom first.

One of the hardships in life

is to explain your thoughts

to someone who refuses to open their heart and listen to you.

I want to ask you something.

Which hospital have you been going to for antenatal care,

and who is your doctor?

What is this?

Mom, if I don't follow your orders,

- I'll have nothing left? - Break up with that woman

and marry Jittra's daughter Koi!

I think it's time for our children to listen to us mothers.

Are you asking me to come back here

and let the vicious loop resume?

If you're so obsessed with your wife

that you forget about me,

I'll cut you off even if you're my flesh and blood!

Have I wronged Mom this badly?

Please look after her, Aunt Giao.

If he thinks his wife

is better than his mother who gave birth to him,

then let him go!

Sia sue nang!

- Cut! - Swap the camera.

Swap the camera.

Oh, this one's delicious.

- You're hungry again. - Well, it's nice.

I'm scared, Song!

Don't be scared, Mom!

I'm with you now. Don't be scared.

You're still a powerhouse.

We'll have to fight each other again.

She ran out of energy before but has recovered now.

I've been fed.

I got my energy back!
