Episode 38

My brother dined out with his aunt.

Ziqiu went out

early the morning.

He bought us McDonald’s.

Didn’t sleep well?

Slept badly

Why only three?

You forget Little Orange is in our house?

I told you before.

Mingyue went home yesterday.

Did you forget it?

Jianjian.

I found a very good

drama script.

You want to play?

How do you know it?

You will definitely go back to acting.

How can you work

in the museum?

But I didn’t expect

you to change your mind so soon.

One of Zhuang Bei’s friends

is a drama director.

He asked me to audition

for a role.

Go ahead.

You can play it if you succeed.

If you fail,

then go back to work.

You support me?

If I don’t play well,

won’t you laugh at me?

Of course I support you.

It’s your dream.

If someone says I plagiarize

and I’m not qualified to make wood carving,

what do you think?

He talks nonsense!

How could you plagiarize?

The wood is like

plasticine in your hands.

Your hands

are born

to carve wood.

I also think

you were born to be an actress.

I’ll call for leave,

and make an appointment for audition.

I learned my lines yesterday.

Fighting.

Little Orange, get up to eat.

You’ll have to work later,

won’t you?

Hurry up.

Can you

come in?

I saw the wires of the headphones

on your workbench

have exposed.

Long term use of headphones is bad for hearing.

So after work yesterday,

I bought you a sound box.

Thank you for

allowing me to live in your room.

After moving with my mother today,

I will go home.

Actually, I don’t like pink.

Why don’t you

like pink?

Girls all like pink.

This is a gift from me.

You don’t like it?

OK, OK.

Pink sound box is also

suitable for my temperament.

Thanks for your gift.

When you go back,

don’t keep fighting with your mother.

Even if you get angry with her,

she’s still your mother.

You have to face each other, right?

You don’t have a mother. How do you know?

I haven’t eaten pork,

but haven’t I seen pigs run?

Look at Tang Can and Mingyue.

They are living examples.

You should take warning from their examples.

You know?

What’s wrong with them?

I’ll tell you later.

Anyway,

after you go back,

if anything happens,

you can tell your brother

or me.

Why should I tell you?

Can you help me quarrel with my mother?

I can’t help you quarrel with your mother.

But I can help your mother fix you.

Go eating.

Wait.

Say it.

I treated you badly when I was a child.

Sorry.

When did you treat me badly?

Goodness!

That was in the past.

You still remember?

You just woke up from the dream?

How could I

hold a grudge against you?

Go eating.

Sister Tang Can.

Sister?

Today, my mother will move

to Building 8, just at the back.

So I will move home today.

So close!

It’s good.

You won’t have to

hide the remote control anymore.

I didn’t.

I’m just used to

leaving it out of place.

I didn’t hide it.

I really didn’t hide it.

Morning.

Morning.

You came so early today.

Are you OK?

I’m OK.

I have to work,

and handle orders.

Boss.

Have you found your picture?

Not yet.

You’re still in the mood

to work here.

I really admire your composure.

The furniture factory

has sent an email

to ask about the plagiarism

and whether there is any infringement.

The first batch of semi-finished crafts

has been made.

If there is any infringement,

it will be plagiarism,

and we have to pay the penalty.

Why did you hit me?

I’m for her good.

Can you leave it alone?

Go back to work.

What’s wrong?

It must be Zhou Miao.

We publicized

the sale of copyright,

which made others envious.

So he contacted the factory.

Otherwise, how could the factory

know so soon?

From the perspective of others,

maybe they

are doing the right thing

to resist plagiarism.

Come on.

I used to

like Yufei so much.

You even like Zhou Miao.

It’s not surprising that you like Yufei.

Sorry.

Ziqiu.

Can I leave work

two hours earlier today?

What’s up?

My mother is moving today.

I want to go back

and clean up the house with her.

OK.

Only strawberry mousse

and chocolate mousse are available?

Yes.

There are fewer kinds of desserts.

But we have no choice.

They are unsalable.

How about we

change it into a fast-food restaurant?

Go on with your work.

Zhao Huaguang

Send the hospital address

to me.

Are you available this afternoon?

Some days later.

I’m in Hengshan Mountain now.

Why did you go there again?

I need the picture now.

Aren’t you supposed to look after your father?

Temples in Five Mountains are said to be effective.

I’m going to all these temples to pray.

I just came out from Zhurong Temple.

I’m going to Mount Tai in Shandong

to pray for your grandpa.

How about the picture?

Is that so important?

Why does our Zhao family

have such

an unfilial son?

Especially for the control of lines,

the rhythm...

The rhythm is very important.

Then, for our

rehearsal today,

I think...

Are you ready so soon?

Director, I read the script all night.

I want to try out as soon as possible.

OK. Come.




How about your audition?

You...

You failed?

It doesn’t matter.

Just think I’m nosy.

Don’t be so sad.

I made it.

They said I played well

and applauded for me.

I got the role!

Really?

Really?

Mom.

Why don’t you wait inside?

Your father’s already here.

I want to wait for you.

Mom.

If my father insists on

divorcing you,

you have to be prepared.

Don’t worry.

I’m here with you.

Let’s go.

My mother likes

steamed baby lobsters.

OK.

Use less minced garlic.

Alright.

And a steamed

bass.

How big is it?

About one kilo.

OK.

That’s all. Thank you.

Please wait a moment.

Do you have an affair?

I’m not that shameless.

You insist on divorcing me.

Isn’t it because of

another woman?

It’s because I can’t stand the oppression

you’ve been putting on me for so long

that I want to divorce you.

It has nothing to do

with anyone else.

We are well-educated.

Since you want me

to make it clear,

we’ll say it in front of our daughter

and let her judge who is right.

Just say it.

We’ve been married for so many years

and you’re the decision-maker in our family.

I can’t have

any objection.

Neither can Mingyue.

You are our

commander-in-chief.

We must obey

your orders absolutely.

Anything that does not please you

is not allowed.

I’m just a section chief at work.

You always complain that

I don’t make progress.

I... I did that for...

Jin Yuxiang, don’t interrupt.

I have no voice at home

for half my life.

We’re getting divorced now.

You should let me finish.

Well, you...

When Mingyue was at home,

we were suffered together

and I could stand it.

But now it’s like I’m in prison.

You’re a prison guard and I’m a prisoner.

There’s no chance

to relieve myself.

I can’t step on the mopped floor.

I can’t make noise while eating.

I can’t lie in bed before having a bath.

Everything you think

is healthy,

I have to eat

happily.

I’m in my fifties.

And we’ve been married for decades.

When we had a row, you complained to my mom

and your mom.

Then they

called me in turns

and told me not to make you angry.

No!

I want you to develop

good hygiene

and eating habits.

Did I do wrong?

You are right.

And it wasn’t a complaint at all.

I was so upset

that I mentioned it to them.

OK. OK. You’re all right.

I’m going to divorce you anyway.

Do you want the deposits or the house?

Qi Guoqing.

We’ve been married for more than 20 years.

Now you want to divorce me.

All these years,

who am I living for?

I live for both of you

and for our family.

I’ve ran our family so well.

Now I’m old,

and you want to divorce me?

It’s not easy for you.

I admit that.

In these years,

you have taken good care of

Mingyue and me.

But living with you

is so depressing and exhausting.

I thought

I’d just make do with it.

I can do whatever you say.

But the purchase of a house

makes me feel that

you won’t

reflect on yourself.

You’ll only get more extreme.

No!

I said I wouldn’t buy it, didn’t I?

And I’ve already

refunded the deposit.

On top of that,

I’m not buying a house to gamble.

Well...

Didn’t I do it

for our family?

You can do anything in the future.

Now Mingyue is working.

It won’t affect her if we get divorced.

In the future,

I will care about you

as before.

Whether you wanna continue to be a reporter,

or go to Beijing,

I will support you.

I’ll always be on your side.

OK.

OK.

If you really want to divorce me,

I agree.

We’ll meet tomorrow afternoon
at Civil Affairs Bureau.

Enjoy yourselves. I’ll go first.

I will not interfere

- with your new life. - Mom.

Mom.

Let’s

finish the meal first.

I have something to tell you, too.

Dad.

You decide to divorce,

and I respect your decision.

But I think

after you divorce my mother,

you will regret it.

You’ve lived with my mother

for more than 20 years.

You cooked

only a few times.

You never have to

do housework.

Every day you get home,

the hot meal is ready.

You live in a comfortable house

and wear clean clothes.

All my grandparents

are looked after by my mother.

Interpersonal relations among relatives

are all managed by my mother.

Everyone praises my mother

for her housekeeping and competence.

For these,

I don’t deny.

I…

I’m not good at these.

I’m busy with my work.

My mother has to work, too.

My mother drove me

to and from school

and weekend classes.

I remember when I was in junior high school,

it rained heavily one day.

My mother was on a business trip

and she called you to pick me up.

But you drove

to my primary school.

When I was little,

I liked you very much.

Because you didn’t control me.

You thought everything I did

was right

and good.

My mother was very strict with me.

I couldn’t do anything

to satisfy her.

But then I grew up,

and I realized that

you didn’t control me

just because you were afraid of trouble.

You didn’t argue with my mother

not because she was right,

but because you were afraid of trouble.

Every time my mother lectured me,

you would say that

my mother was right.

Then you would give me 200 yuan

and apologized to me.

What do you want me to do?

Fight with your mother every day?

Harmony brings wealth.

Dad, there is no harmony in our family.

Both you and me

are escaping problems.

In order to fail to reach the admission mark

of the University of Political Science and Law,

in the college entrance examination,

I chose to fill in one less answer sheet

instead of striving for

my favorite college and major.

What do you mean?

That means

all my rebelliousness

was expressed in the wrong way.

My confrontation with my mother

is only known to me.

Qi Mingyue, you...

Why are you so silly?

How dare you?

I don’t know.

I just know that

I didn’t even think

to ask for your help.

Because you wouldn’t offend my mother

because of me.

My mother has such a personality that

she doesn’t discuss with others.

Isn’t that what you connive at?

To avoid arguing with her,

you allow her to do anything.

You’ve made her like this,

and now you’re going to abandon her.

How did I make her like this?

Mom,

don’t worry.

Even if you get divorced,

you can still have a good life.

And you still have me.

Coming.

Aren’t you living in other’s house?

Why are you mopping the floor?

Just have someone clean it.

Let me do it.

Give it to me.

I’ll do it.

Where is aunt?

She has her own business.

You call me

and I’ll come back to do it.

You abandoned me,

didn’t you?

What?

How could I

abandon my mother?

And I found out that

I really look like you.

You are my daughter.

Of course you look like me.

Have some water.

Yes, I look like you.

If Yun were here,

she would also look like me.

What?

Crazy.

Where have you been these days?

I...

I went to work

in Ziqiu’s coffee shop.

Why did you work there?

Don’t go anymore.

Why can’t I go?

Can’t you see that he

hates us?

He Ziqiu didn’t come to

your brother’s birthday.

Now he offers you a job.

What is he thinking?

What does he want to do?

Mom.

Ziqiu is not

the kind of person you think.

Can you stop

thinking bad of people?

Everyone

has a lot of things

to do every day.

They don’t have time

to hate us.

Persecution mania.

What are you doing? It hurts.

Have you been ensnared

with honeyed words?

You betrayed me.

It’s not betrayal.

I’m telling you the truth.

What truth?

You’re just brainwashed.

So is your brother.

I’m your mother.

How can I harm you?

Why don’t you listen to me?

Or are you bored with me,

disgusted with me,

so do not want to listen to me?

Come on.

Alright.

I have nothing to say to you.

It’s no use saying anything.

What do you mean?

You just don’t want to listen to me.

I can hear nothing. I can hear nothing.

I can hear nothing.

Ziqiu, why are you here?

I wanna see who’s

working so hard.

I’ll pick you up from work.

I brought you coffee.

Thank you.

Zhou Miao, coffee time.

I don’t drink it.

I’m afraid it will keep me awake all night.

He didn’t sleep well last night.

Leave him alone.

It doesn’t matter.

Three cups of coffee.

I’ll drink it.

Thanks.

My pleasure.

Ziqiu.

You don’t work tonight?

I’ve already asked for leave.

Let’s go home for dinner tonight.

OK.

Call Ling Xiao

and tell him.

I told him.

He told us not to wait for him.

Can you hurry up?

Don’t waste time.

OK, wait for me to wash my hands.

Let’s go.

OK.

I’m off, Juan.

Bye-bye.

Bye-bye.

Ziqiu, come to visit us when you are free.

Bye-bye.

What’s wrong with you?

Look at her.

It seems as if nothing has happened.

We are more anxious than her.

I told you before.

There is no evidence.

No one will listen to you.

I don’t believe

it’s so hard to find a picture.

I don’t think she has the picture.

She has.

Li Jianjian said so.

Why do you believe her so much?

What do you mean?

Juan,

you are so naive and innocent.

Have you

ever suspected that Boss Li plagiarized?

No one will admit to plagiarism.

Look at Yufei.

He is a minor celebrity

in the circle.

He has works and talents

and has curated exhibitions.

Does he need to plagiarize?

So what exactly do you mean?

I have said so clearly.

I realize that you’re the only one

who thinks Boss Li is talented.

In my opinion,

her works are just average.

She is at best

a craftsman,

not an artist.

Yufei is different.

He’s always with artists.

For a long time,

he was in the city of arts, Paris.

I think,

she can’t prove it.

She signed a contract

with the furniture factory

formally.

If she breaks the contract, she’ll pay the penalty.

It’s a large amount of money.

You want to pay with her?

How silly you are.

It has nothing to do with you.

You run a studio together.

You deserve the return on your investment.

Plagiarism is her own business.

Besides,

we are also victims of plagiarism.

We’re good enough that she doesn’t have to pay us.

So what exactly do you mean?

You idiot.

I mean

she signed the contract

in her name.

If you break up the partnership with her,

you won’t have to pay the penalty.

Why do you have to

pay with her?

Break up?

Yes.

Let’s make a partnership.

I will graduate next year.

Juan,

I know you are kind.

But think about it.

I won’t hurt you.

I’m for your own good.

Good advice is harsh to the ear.

I’m serious.

I wish I could take my heart out

to show my sincerity.

Alright, don’t say anymore.

OK.

How about I take you out

to something delicious tonight?

I have no appetite.

I’m going home.

Alright.

Then go back and think about it.

Wait.

Apron.

Shall I take you home?

No need.

Did Dad Ling

do in this way?

Just pour

the water. Pour it.

Right. Whatever.

Drink it.

Eat melon seeds.

Thank you.

Ziqiu.

How about Uncle Li

and your mother?

What do you mean?

You haven’t been here these two days.

It’s amazing.

Your mother came to Uncle Li

and asked him to teach her how to cook

your favorite dish.

Then,

she saw Grandma Qian and Ms. Zhang

eating noodles here.

Didn’t my father break up

with Ms. Zhang?

Break up?

They didn’t even hold hands.

But Ms. Zhang

is really sarcastic.

She said she liked Uncle Li’s good morality,

but he liked beautiful women.

Uncle Li blushed with shame.

At this time,

your mother came forward and said that

you like his good morality,

and he likes my pretty face.

You’re not much nobler than him.

Ms. He Mei is so cool.

I heard today that

Uncle Li asked your mother

to go to the bookstore tomorrow.

They start dating now?

Why didn’t he tell me?

I guess he’s embarrassed.

I’m not stopping him from falling in love.

He really is...

Don’t sell me out.

Mind your steps.

Dad.

You haven’t had dinner yet.

Why drink tea?

Hurry home.

I’ve got everything ready.

Just go back and cook them.

OK, I got it, Dad.

Go on with your business.

What are you

thinking about?

No, nothing.

Go ahead.

We’ll go home right away.

Dad.

Ziqiu.

What’s up?

If my father and

Ms. He Mei get married,

we will be

on the same household register.

What?

You don’t agree?

No, not that.

Didn’t she dump Dad before?

It’s been over twenty years.

What if she dumps Dad again?

And Dad is simple in relationship.

I’m afraid he gets hurt.

Yes.

Let’s go

to the bookstore tomorrow?

No!

Please.

No.

Ziqiu.

I said no.

Ziqiu.

No way.

I’m not your boyfriend.

Stop acting in a cutesy manner.

It’s useless.

Alright.

I’ll go by myself tomorrow.

I advise you not to go.

Go wash the dishes in the kitchen if you stay.

Bye, Dad.

Let’s go. Hurry.

Bye, Dad.

See you, Dad.

Which table?

Ling Xiao.

Your mother moved today?

Yes.

Do they need help?

I don’t think so.

I’m not sure.

Don’t say that at dinner.

Dad Ling, have a rib.

Jianjian,

do you have

any news to tell me recently?

Dad, I...

I can’t have news every day.

Life is like pure water.

No fun at all.

Pure water.

Ziqiu, what about you?

Nothing.

Is your business good?

Good.

It’s profitable.

What about you?

What are you going to do tomorrow?

I...

What else can I do?

I just go to the restaurant,

and then

go to the market

to buy food.

What are you doing?

Secret.

Secret?

When you three get together,

nothing good will happen.

What if it’s a good thing?

Secret?

You’ll make trouble if you get together.

Secret?

Don’t make trouble.

I’ve talked to the director.

I’ll learn my lines

in two days,

and then I’ll quit.

You don’t have to

pick me up to the theater,

as if you are my broker.

It’s convenient for me to take a taxi here.

It’s OK. I’ll drop you off on the way.

Come on. It’s out of the way.

Do you have a crush on

the heroine of our play?

What are you talking about?

I can’t even remember

what she looks like.

Come on, she is lovable.

You like girls who look lovable, don’t you?

When I’m familiar with her,

I’ll ask for you.

Don’t be a matchmaker.

She doesn’t look as good as you.

What do you mean?

Am I plain looking?

No, I mean…

You are good-looking.

So you’re out of luck.

You don’t like

good-looking girls like me.

Poor taste.

Bad luck.

At that time, I...

Alright. Alright.

I don’t care anymore.

I was impetuous

and acted on impulse.

I’d rather be your buddy.

You are loyal to friends.

I’ll talk to my mom

about it tomorrow.

If she doesn’t agree,

I’ll…

I’ll keep fighting.

Listen to me, take it easy.

Go back and talk to your mother nicely.

If you can’t,

I’ll go back with you and talk to your mother.

Are you crazy?

Why are you going back with me?

Mingyue.

Aunt, you are here, too.

Yes.

Tang Can, you got off work?

Well, I’m leaving now.

Send me WeChat message if you need anything.

OK.

Is he your boyfriend?

No, no, no.

He’s my senior,

and good friend.

Tang Can, take my mom home first.

I have something to talk to him.

What do you want to see him about?

Legal advice.

I’ll be back soon.

Mingyue also knows him?

Yes.

Aunt, let’s go home first.

OK.

Zhuang Bei.

Zhuang Bei.

I’m not going to your house.

Don’t worry.

I won’t bother you anymore.

I know. I know.

I...

I just want to apologize to you.

Sorry.

You...

Why did you suddenly apologize to me?

You showed your affections to me before.

I shouldn’t have done that to you.

It’s a thing of the past.

You just don’t like me.

And

you have the right to refuse me.

Yes.

I have the right to refuse you.

But I shouldn’t

have refused you like that.

I should be grateful

that you like me.

And you really

did nothing wrong.

But I discouraged you

and hurt you.

I’ve been thinking about

why

I was so disgusted

and afraid of your affection to me.

I couldn’t figure it out, so I just kept thinking.

But now I figure it out.

I don’t hate you.

I hate myself.

Why?

You may not know me well.

I am a person

with low self-esteem.

I really can’t think of

any advantage in me

that makes people like me.

You told me

you fell in love with me at first sight.

I was actually scared.

Because once you knew

exactly who I am,

your illusions about love would be shattered.

How... How could it be?

You would.

Because...

Because I am a person

who likes to escape,

I’m afraid of trouble

and indecisive.

I feel like

I’m a wimp.

I’m also very,

very afraid of letting people down.

I really hate

being like this.

I had thought that

if I were a boy,

I would not like

such a girl.

Love at first sight

is really scary.

That means

in his eyes,

she is radiant

and perfect.

I’m not that kind of person.

I have

many shortcomings.

After tearing off my disguise,

I’m a coward.

So you

tear off your disguise now?

Yes.

Li Jianjian told me,

her brother said that

people grow up in an instant,

and only people themselves

know this moment.

I didn’t understand that

until…

My father and my mother got divorced.

I knew I should grow up,

and I should support my family.

That’s my responsibility.

Your... Your parents...

Get divorced?

Maybe I

shouldn’t say that.

But I think

their divorce

is not necessarily a bad thing.

And don’t

underestimate yourself.

People have shortcomings.

I have many shortcomings, too.

I’ve also

hurt a girl

who confessed love to me.

I really regret it now.

People always make mistakes, right?

Thank you.

After what I did to you,

you still comfort me.

Don’t say that.

But seriously,

you know,

you make programs

to help so many people

in need.

There are very few people

like you in the world.

You are really beautiful and kind.

Thank you.

You are a very nice person.

It’s my fault.

Alright.

Stop it.

When you see me,

don’t hide

from me.

No, no.

You can forgive me.

I’m very grateful

It’s all in the past.

Don’t

mention it.

Zhuang Bei,

you are handsome and good-hearted.

You flatter me.

So can I add you

on WeChat?

Maybe

not.

I’m just kidding you.
