We would like to apologize in advance for any misunderstandings.

(present)

Please try to accept Pim.

At least,

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

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

I'm about to become a father.

But you know I don't like lying.

I'm really not comfortable with it.

What is it, Aunt Giao?

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

How are things with your daughter-in-law?

Are you two getting along now?

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.

Pim,

what medicine are you taking?

You're pregnant.

You have to be careful with what you take.

It's an antacid. It should be fine.

How long will we have to keep paying the penalty fee, Samret?

I've been rushing everyone involved.

At least, I think we'll be able to get into the system

by next month, Sir.

Please try your best.

I will.

You applied for a high-interest loan with your piece of land.

I really sympathize with you.

But why don't you

try talking to Madame Hong?

It might be better if you borrow money from her.

No, Samret.

I can't let Mom be under any stress.

The thing is,

the doctor said Mom's at risk of having a stroke.

Thank you very much for understanding me.

Yes, Sir. I'll do my best.

We'll fight this battle together.

Giao, are you finished? Why is it taking so long?

I've finished, Madame.

Ugh.

- Ow. - Oh?

What's the matter with you?

I think I twisted my ankle, Madame.

Oh? Then how will you be able to come with me?

I can still walk, Madame.

Are you going out to collect rent, Mother?

Yes.

I can come with you instead.

I'd rather you not.

You might cause trouble like last time again.

I won't, Mother.

I promise I'll behave this time.

All right. Get changed and come down quickly.

Yes, Mother.

(Madame Hong's Market)

I'll have two bags of fish balls.

Oh, meatballs as well.

I'm going to make clear soup.

Aoy, Chod,

I don't have a mother,

but I got to look after Yod's mother.

The chicken looks very tasty.

- Look at these, Pim. - During that time,

I couldn't help but feel happy.

Do you like it too?

- I do. - Even though it was a short while,

Really?

- I didn't know that. - if Mother hadn't been prejudiced

- against me in the first place, - Two bags of dipping sauce too.

- we would've gotten along. - Here.

I'd have been so happy.

Here you are.

- Hello, Madame. - Hello, there.

What vegetables would you like today?

I'm in a good mood today. You're in for a huge treat.

There's no need to give me too much.

My daughter-in-law might not be able to carry the groceries.

It's very little. It won't be too heavy.

No, no.

She's pregnant right now.

It's okay, Mother. I can carry them.

Really, Madame?

Congratulations!

I guess you're becoming a grandmother now.

I'm happy for you.

How many months now?

Oh, that's true.

How many months along are you?

It must be around 2-3 months, right?

You're still young. It isn't easy to tell.

- All right. - Take the lot, Madame.

But not too much, okay?

- Oh, that one looks nice. - Which one?

- This one is too. - This one?

That's enough. I don't want too many.

I have to go to the bathroom first.

What medicine are you taking?

It's an antacid. It should be fine.

What about my rent?

How's business today?

Mm. It's okay.

Sri, how have you been?

- Oh? Madam, hello. - Hello.

What about my rent?

- You always pretend to forget. - Here it is.

Oh. Madame, wait.

Here's a sea pike.

It's still fresh.

Steam it as a supplement.

I heard you're pregnant.

It's okay. But thank you.

Just take it.

She's giving it to you. Accept it.

You're doing it again.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

- Oh? - Madame, I almost missed you.

Where were you? You weren't at your stall.

I was unloading inventory out back.

I heard your daughter-in-law's pregnant.

So I've prepared this.

Pork neck.

It's good for her health.

What should I do with it?

It's up to you.

Steam or boil. It's healthy.

- All right. - Here.

Will you be able to carry everything?

I can do it. It's okay.

It's fine. I'll carry it for you.

You're pregnant. What if you fall over from carrying these?

- Here. I'll carry it. - Will you be fine?

Of course. Really.

Right, Giao.

Put these in the kitchen.

Oh, there is more in the car too.

Yes, Madame.

I'm going to go upstairs and rest.

That's a good idea.

Take a nap and get some rest, okay?

I will have Giao steam some fish for you this evening.

Okay. Thank you, Mother.

Oh, Giao?

Why are you standing around?

What do you want?

Yes, Mom? What's the matter?

Come home right away.

What's going on?

Don't ask any questions.

I don't think so, Yod. It was fine when we were at the market.

Maybe she called you about work?

Okay.

Madame wants to see you.

What's the matter, Mother?

Can I help you with anything?

I want to ask you something.

Which hospital have you been going to for antenatal care,

and who's the doctor?

Don't tell me you haven't done it.

Uh...

I find it strange as well

because your pregnancy is barely noticeable.

It must've been three months since the day Song told me.

And I noticed you haven't been gentle with my grandchild.

- Mother... - Do you think I'm stupid, Pim?

Is that why you and Song lied to me?

But I was actually stupid

for trusting someone like you.

Mother,

I think you might be misunderstanding something...

Get away!

I'm misunderstanding something?

Then can you tell me

what this is?

Pim,

you told me you're pregnant.

So why are you taking medicine for menstrual cramps?

Answer me!

There!

Answer me!

- Mother... - I'm not your mother!

Mom?

Mom?

Do you still think of me as your mother?

Or do you think I'm a fool?

- Mom... - Don't touch me!

- Mom! - Song,

you and your wife

lied to me about being pregnant, didn't you?

- Didn't you? - Mom, well..

Why?

Why did you lie to me?

Do you think I'm stupid, Song?

Mom.

No!

I just didn't want you to chastise Pim.

I want to see us living in harmony.

Oh, so it's my fault?

No...

I'm the reason behind your wrongdoings, aren't I?

- Aren't I? - No...

- You ungrateful punk. - I'm not saying that, Mom!

- You're ungrateful. - I didn't mean by that!

- Mom! - I'm partially at fault too.

Go away!

Mom!

Song,

you brought this ill-fated woman home.

Then you lied and said she was pregnant!

You lied to me

and tricked me into being happy.

I was bragging to everyone.

And I told everyone at the market today.

And what happened?

You wronged me!

I'm going to be humiliated.

People will laugh at me if they find out

I was fooled...

by my son and his wife.

Is this what you two want?

Mother.

- Mom, well... - Mother, that's enough.

Please don't tell him off.

He did it

because he didn't want you to hate me.

I'm really sorry.

Don't apologize to me.

You're ill-fated!

I'm even more certain now

that you really are ill-fated

and that you bring about misfortune to my family!

My husband died suddenly,

and now Song's an ungrateful son.

Everything that's happened was because of you!

You!

Mom! Mom, don't!

Mom, that's enough! Mom!

Mom!

Mom, don't.

- It's because of you. - Mom.

That's right.

It's my fault.

Everything happened because of me.

I'm sorry.

Pim!

Where are you going?

Aunt Giao, can you come and help Mom?

- Pim! - Madame!

- Calm down, Madame. - Pim, where are you going?

- Pim! - Go!

Go away, you ill-fated loser!

Leave and don't come back, Song!

- Madame, calm down. - Giao.

- Giao... - Madame.

My heart hurts.

Oh, Madame.

- My heart hurts so much, Giao. - Madame.

Calm down, Madame.

Take a seat.

- Giao. - Yes, Madame?

- The medicine... - The medicine?

Yes, Madame.

- The medicine... - Please take a seat.

Pim!

Pim!

Where are you going?

Are you asking me to stay here and put up with all this?

And where would you go?

Anywhere but here, Yod.

Pim.

Please, Yod...

Pim, you know I'm worried about you.

Just tell me where you're going.

I don't know.

I don't know either. Just let me leave.

You should stay and look after your mom.

Pim...

I'm sorry.

I shouldn't have lied to her.

I shouldn't have brought you into it.

I'm sorry, Pim.

Pim?

Pim!

Call me if you go somewhere.

And if things get better,

you have to come back to me, okay?

I'll talk to Mom. Okay?

Are you asking me to come back here

and let the vicious loop resume?

Huh? Yod?

Pim.

We're husband and wife.

We can't abandon each other.

Okay?

Anyway, I'll call you later.

Pim?

Don't worry about me.

Pim? Pim!

My heart hurts.

Get some rest, Madame.

Mom?

Would you like a hot drink?

Mom,

would you like some medicine?

Go away! Get out of my sight!

I don't want to see your face!

Mom.

Have I wronged Mom this badly?

Madame was very happy about having a grandchild.

She kept buying herbs and supplements

and told me to make tea for your wife every day.

She told me to take good care of her

in hopes of having a grandson.

She talked to your father's portrait every day

about their grandchild.

Then she found out everything was a lie.

How sad and disappointed do you think she is?

Do you realize now how badly you've wronged her?

It's my fault.

I approached the problem with a simplistic solution

and didn't think it through.

Please look after Mom, Giao.

Call me if there's anything.

Welcome to the voicemail system...

Pim, why would you turn off your phone?

Where are you going this early?

Giao!

Why is the tea cold? Useless!

Make me a fresh pot. Go.

I'm sorry, Madame. I'll get to it right away.

Mom,

everything that happened

was my idea. It was my fault.

Pim didn't have a hand in it.

She was just going with the flow.

I don't want to listen to this.

Pim's very sorry.

I've been trying to reach her all night, but I...

And what do you want me to do?

Do you want me to go out and look for her as well?

It means you're not truly remorseful

even though you're apologizing to me.

You only worry about your wife.

You're always defending her.

Well, good riddance.

She probably won't have the gall to face me now

because she's lied too much.

Mom.

It's not like that.

So what?

And tell her

not to set foot in my house ever again.

And just so you know,

you might be my only son

but if you hurt my feelings

and choose your wife

over me,

I won't mind cutting ties with you.

Mom, this is getting out of hand.

I'm serious.

And if you keep this up,

I will be ordained as a nun

and donate everything I have.

I won't leave you and your wife a penny.

- Mom, what are you talking about? - Just wait and see

if I'm being serious or not.

Hello, Jittra.

You have arrived? Okay, I'm coming.

Mom!

- I'm heading there. - Mom!

I'm cutting ties with my son.

I never thought he would do that to me.

Maybe he had no choice because you were too harsh on his wife.

Gosh.

We both have

our own problems.

What's going on with you?

Your son won't break up with his wife,

but my daughter

got cheated on.

Koi can't eat nor sleep.

She's been crying nonstop.

I had to take her to a psychiatrist.

Is it that bad?

Yes.

I was afraid

she would get depression.

So I got her help.

But she's doing better now.

Don't you think

that our children are incapable of managing their own lives?

That's why they need us mothers.

Just like how my parents arranged my marriage with Pong.

Jittra.

It's time

our children listen to us.

And it's time for us

to take control.

Welcome to the voicemail service.

Why did you turn off your phone, Pim?

Darn it.

Come in.

What's the matter, Samret?

What is it?

Are you quitting?

Yes.

Me and a few of your father's employees.

Why, Samret?

How can you abandon me?

We are not abandoning you.

Our salaries are quite high.

If we quit,

you can use this money to pay other employees

without having to reduce their pay.

Everyone's been patient.

I know you took out a loan

with a very high-interest rate

- so that we... - You are sacrificing yourselves.

Don't even think about it.

No one is leaving the company.

We will get through this together.

Sir.

I'm saying this as your father's close friend.

I've known you since you were a kid.

Your father didn't ask you

to work in management

because he knew

it wasn't in your area of expertise.

Are you saying

I'm a good-for-nothing

who can never live up to my father?

Samret.

If our company...

If I don't have your help,

the company will face many issues.

Cash flow is

our only issue right now.

And every company is having the same issue due to the pandemic.

Things are

getting better.

And I promise...

to pay back every penny

I owe you guys.

How long will it take

to resolve our cash flow issue?

Are you going to keep taking out more loans?

I'll talk to my mother.

You might be my only son

but if you hurt my feelings

and choose your wife

over me,

I won't mind cutting ties with you.

Hello, Pim. Where are you?

I've been worried sick.

I'm at my condo.

You could have called.

I was up all night worrying.

Are you coming home today?

Home?

It's not my home, Yod.

I was just a tenant.

Come on, Pim.

How's your mother doing?

Well.

Nothing's changed.

Has she hosted a superstitious ritual to curse me?

Pim.

I'm begging you.

Let's fix this together. Don't worry about it too much.

As long as your mother sees me as a jinx,

it won't be easy to fix.

Please, Pim.

I'm coming to your place

this evening.

See you.

Gosh.

Hey.

I thought you would be out

until the evening.

Let's just cut to the chase.

Your job is to listen to me and do as I say.

Break up with that wench

and marry Koi, Jittra's daughter.

Mom.

You controlling my life is one thing.

But you and Jittra

are controlling Koi's life too.

We are not in a TV drama, Mom.

Why can't I mistreat you

when you mistreated me?

Listen carefully.

It's different this time.

If you don't do as I say,

you can pack your bags and leave.

So you are kicking me out

just like that.

What about the factory?

What about it?

I'll just hire someone to manage it.

Are you saying

I either do as you say

or be left with nothing?

That's what I said.

Life is short.

It's time I live my life the way I want.

And I'm sick of having to see that despicable woman.

If you don't do as I say,

then you are dead to me.

Song!

Song!

Song.

Madame.

Song is gone.

Song...

It's fine, Giao.

Let him go.

If he chooses his wife

over the woman who gave birth to him,

then let him go.

Let's get you upstairs.

Madame.

- Madame. - My head hurts.

No!

- Madame, sit down. - No!

- No! - Sit down.

- Madame. - No...

Sit down.

No...

Madame.

No...

- No... - Do you want to see a doctor?

Do you want to see a doctor?

What am I

supposed to tell

the doctor?

Do I tell him

that my son broke my heart?

Song!

Poor you.

Song!

- Song! - Madame.

It's all right.

Break up with that wench

and marry Koi, Jittra's daughter.

If you don't do as I say,

you can pack your bags and leave.

Hello, Aunt Giao.

Where are you?

Is something wrong?

Is Mom all right?

She went to bed.

She said her head was aching,

and her heart was breaking.

I see.

I never thought

that things would come to this.

Think carefully

before you do something.

You know how your mother is.

Yes, Aunt Giao.

Is there anything else?

Your mother actually ordered me

to call and tell you

to do as she says

or don't come back again.

Are you drunk?

Pim.

No matter what happens...

I love you.

The restaurant downstairs is still open.

This is your garlic pork.

And this is my chicken basil,

as usual.

Thank you.

Hey, Yod.

The manager asked if we are renting the place monthly or annually.

I told him monthly. What do you think?

That sounds good.

Let's move back here then.

Anyway, can you get my stuff from your house?

Bring your clothes too.

You can leave some clothes here.

But I won't be coming here

every day.

Yes, I know.

But you must come here whenever you can.

Otherwise, you can say goodbye to your favorite garlic pork.

You don't have to take care of me anymore.

What?

I have to. I'm your wife.

Oh, right. I forgot to make coffee for you. Wait a second.

You drink

one spoon of coffee...

and two spoons of sugar.

You might be my only son

but if you hurt my feelings

and choose your wife

over me,

I won't mind cutting ties with you.

Song.

Can I say something?

Everyone is born

with only two parents.

And all you have left is your mother.

I'm sorry, Mom.

Song...

My son.

Song...

I'm here, Mom.

Song.

(Three months later)

Yod?

Let's go.

(Traditional Love)

Don't solve a problem by "lying".

Nobody wants to be lied to,

even if it's for peace of mind.

Did you break up with your wife and marry Koi

just to get your inheritance, Song?

I love Pim a lot,

but I want to save

Dad's factory more.

Are you going to a temple?

It's his guardian angel.

Your garland

is a piece of trash.

Listen carefully

and put it in your brainless head.

Song is getting remarried soon.

We will never have a happy marriage.

Since you don't see me as a human,

listen carefully then.

I'm not divorcing you.

What?

- Is it hot? - No.

- It's not hot? - It's actually boiling hot.

It's so hot.

- What? I see. - I'm saying it's hot.

- It's very hot. - Yes.

- Poor you. - Poor me.

See?

The house

is quite old.

Just now, they filmed me running out of the bedroom

and into Madame Hong's bedroom. I ran across many rooms.

My feet are all dirty.

This place is really clean though.

The air is dusty fresh in the morning.

My lungs are filled with dust.

It shows how dedicated...

- our actors are. - That's right.

Please watch the show.
