A NETFLIX SERIES

Hi, honey.

-Hi, baby.
-Look. Where am I?

-I don't know.
-Is it beautiful or what?

Look at my new clothes.

Do you like them?

It's beautiful.

It looks great on you.

The class is about to begin.

-Bye, honey.
-Love you.

Do you breastfeed him?

Why do you show him your breasts
every hour?

I'm going to meet
my ex-boyfriend in secret.

I have to convince my fiancé to trust me.

You're going to meet your ex-boyfriend?

-Yes.
-But you're going to get married.

I need to make sure.

When I see him,

I'll know if I can stay faithful
in the marriage forever.

Is it a good idea?

It's not natural to stay in love

with the same
person for the rest of your life.

Some studies have shown that

only a certain species of c*ck
can do that.

What is your c*ck…

No. What is your ex-boyfriend like?

-What is he like?
-Yes.

He's tall,

handsome,

strong,

huge,

and hard.

I used to ovulate whenever I saw him.

He was so perfect that

I suspected he had some secret identity.

Like a k*ller

or a secret agent.

Really?

If he was so perfect,

why did you break up with him?

Back then, we just…

Good morning, girls.

-Good morning.
-Good morning.

It's a long story.
I'll tell you next time.

Listen. If he weren't crazy for me in bed,

I would believe that

he was so perfect that he could be g*y.

g*y?

Welcome.

Thank you.

Come in.

It's a beautiful place.

Not bad. It's new.

Hey…

Yes?

Who painted your portrait?

I painted all these myself.

-Yourself?
-Yes.

Were these dishes made by yourself too?

Yes.

What have you got?

Nothing. A typhoon is coming.

My mom asked me to bring some snacks home.

No. These aren't proper enough for you.

I'll bring something better next time.

But…

Let's see.

This is proper enough.

What?

I'm good at stir-frying instant noodles.

Do you smell that?

It smells good, right?

Stop looking at me like that.

You make me nervous.

Go to my study.

I have a lot of books. You'll like them.

-Really?
-Go ahead.

I'll be ready in no time.

-Thank you.
-Sure.

He's really talented.

Senior?

Are all your friends

as fit as you are?

He's just my triathlon friend.

Just a friend?

Does it look so obvious?

I knew it.

Yes, he's g*y.

And he confessed to me once.

But I'm not g*y.

He can't force me to love him.

Yes.

Yes!

Is he really not g*y?

I love girls.

Always have.

It's done.

You're so talented.
It took you no time to do it.

It doesn't matter how long it takes.

It's satisfaction that matters.

It doesn't matter how long it takes…

Is that your sexual philosophy?

Pull yourself together, Chen Ru-rong.

It's not something that you'll say.

Yes. Didn't you say that you want

to have a pet?

Do you want a cat or a dog?

I'm thinking…

To choose

is another form of abandonment.

Can I be so greedy

that I take both?

Of course.

You're qualified
to take as many as you can.

I mean, you're perfect.

I would believe you

if you claimed that you're Bruce Wayne.

I'm not that good.

I have my own dark sides.

Dark sides?

Mr. Grey.

Do you…

want to be my playmate in bed

and my pet in life?

I'm just kidding.

Did I scare you?

I'm sorry.

So cute.

I'm not scared.

I'm in my new set of lingerie today.

WHAT'S BETTER
THAN BUYING SMALL OBJECTS?

Don't you know readers these days
have low expectations?

It's not up to their standards.

The leading lady is too old

and the theme is hard to understand.

All my girlfriends, ex-wives, and bedmates

have taught me one thing.

What a woman wants is not the truth.

Why do you dig out what's inside of them?

Why don't you do it to me?

I want to show the dilemma
of a modern lady

torn between getting married
and being single.

No.

You just need to create
the most exaggerated

and abnormal dialogues.

You should learn from them both.

No, I can't do it.

I can't combine the dialogues of a romance

and the action of a porn video.

We don't have one,
so people would want it.

Think about

the royalties when you're famous.

When you succeed,

you'll be a popular sex master.

Imagine that.

Can you put down your phone and eat?

When your friend is here,

I'm going home to play video games.

You're disgusting.

There she is.

-Hi.
-Hi, Ms. Chen.

Sit down. Come on.

No. I have a date
with my personal trainer.

I don't want to disturb your girls' talk.
I've got to go.

Wait, honey.

Come here.

Sit down.

Look at you.

You haven't finished your meal.

You'll be hungry.

And you might want to cheat on me.

Here.

Are you

so inseparable?

You're going to Okinawa, right?

You mean the Okinawa
that we're going together?

Have fun in Okinawa, Ms. Chen.

I have to go, baby.

-Bye.
-Bye, honey.

A cunning biology teacher.

What are you doing?

Aren't you going to Okinawa
with your fiancé?

Why is it me now?

You'll do me the favor, won't you?

I'm going with my ex.

Your ex?

Your ex-boyfriend?

But you were just kissing him

in front of me.

I didn't know it'd turn out like this.

It's because of
the retrogression of Venus,

which makes me reconsider getting married.

It's the retrogression of your brain.

Are you cheating on your fiancé?

Not yet, but I'm about to.

You haven't slept with him,

have you?

No, not yet.

But I've been playing
with his testosterone.

What are you talking about?

Yes.

I tease him.

But he can't get it.

Just like an athlete's abstinence
for the three months before a match.

He'll sh**t himself out

on the track in one go.

sh**t what out?
Why don't you sh**t out a rocket?

You're a hipster.

I heard that they ask
NASA scientists to abstain themselves

because the sex urge

maximizes your brain
and physical strength.

You don't need a rocket.

An abstinent man

is a rocket himself.

My ex-boyfriend

has fallen into my trap of love.

In Okinawa,

when I'm in my sexy bikinis,

I'll find out if he has upgraded himself
in the past few years.

What trap?

You're stuck in your own trap.

I'm going to press your head
into your salad

to make you reflect

what you're thinking.

Do you know?

My granny said that

my name, Zhai Ren-hou,

was taken from the phrase
"a kindhearted disposition."

It's a shame that

my name is one character short.

My mission is to find

the lost character which is "heart."

I think

we should talk about us getting married.

And…

Invite our kids for a meal together.

Well…

He has the best son in the world

who owns a business

and has a lovely wife.

I'm what I am

because of the money

that my mom left me.

Dad,

Mom loved their sesame paste here,

remember?

I'll introduce you.

This is Auntie Mei-mei's daughter,
Ru-rong.

She's a Chinese teacher
in a senior high school

and a novelist too.

A novelist?

What have you written?

My daughter-in-law loves reading.

She organizes a study group
with her friends.

Maybe they've read Ru-rong's books.

My novels aren't that popular.

Don't be modest, Ru-rong.

Your books sell well.

For example, Marry a Wealthy Man,

My Handsome Doctor,

and the one with a long title…

Five Ginseng Athletes and…

It's "handsome," Mom.

Five Handsome Athletes
and a Locker Room.
Yes.

Marry a Wealthy Man
is mainly about investments

and money management.

My Handsome Doctor is actually about

doctor-patient relationship.

Five Handsome Athletes is about

how exercise makes you healthy.

MARRY A WEALTHY MAN

I know those books.

You're Rong-zi, aren't you?

You see?

You've read them.

Ru-rong has won many awards.

And her books sell well.

We've been encouraging her
since she was little.

I didn't actually read them.

I took a glance at those titles

on the bottom shelf

with some comic and porn books
at a convenience store.

-That's enough.
-I didn't--

I don't want to talk about it at mealtime.

We'll lose our appetite.

But…

I need to tell you something.

You see, I'm in charge
of all the money in the family.

My dad doesn't have a cent at all.

But if he's going

to date the old lady,

I won't say no.

If he is going to move in with you,
I won't say no either.

But you'll never get anything from him.

You…

Hey, son…

What are you talking about?

Mom spent her life

earning everything we have today.

I need to guard Mom's share personally.

You're guarding it for yourself,
aren't you?

You don't know
what my mom did to this family.

My dad is too kindhearted to tell you.

I'm sorry,

but I need to tell you the truth.

My mom…

She's pretty.

She owns a flat and her savings.

I don't know what your dad
wants from my mom.

I'm sorry,

but I also need to tell you the truth.

Dad,

I think Ms. Chen
is hesitant about marriage.

Why don't you sign a prenuptial agreement

to prevent further complications?

You're a businessman indeed, Mr. Zhai.

He doesn't even let go
of any cents of his money.

Mom,

do you still want to marry him?

They think what you want is his money.

To be frank,
one can't get married casually.

Not many women can be as smart

and capable as my mother-in-law.

Look at the old lady.

Look at how you're dressed,
especially your hat.

It's the style

of a mediocre housewife.

Do you think

you can blend well with us?

I think you're…

Who's old?

A housewife has her own worth.

Any questions about it?

We have no questions about it.

We just don't want to lower
the standards of our conversation

in this family.

Look, if we talk about bargain sales

or coupons or giveaways

in a supermarket every day,

how do we teach our children?

Don't say that, honey.

The old lady can teach us a lot

such as how to marry a rich man.

You wrote a book

called Marry a Wealthy Man, right?

You can call me old,

but don't you dare insult my daughter!

Let's go.

Why does an old woman
want to marry a rich man?

What are you looking at?

Nothing.

I like how you're dressed.

You went out with your sister

and you're going home now?

-Yes.
-I…

What the…

My mom's complaints.

It's nonstop.

MOM'S COMPLAINTS

How much do you earn a month?

When your dad was alive,

I lived well.

Now I have to worry about your future.

And you're always shouting at me.

And money is an issue now.

Why don't I

just k*ll myself?

Mom!

-Mom!
-I'm going to meet him!

Don't do that!

Mom! Don't do that!

Disobedient brats!

-Don't do that!
-I'm going to tell your dad!

-Don't!
-Don't!


What the hell?

My sister, you have to help me.

I'm pregnant

-and the baby's dad cheated on me.
-Get in my place.

I just can't do it alone.

If you don't help me,

I'm…

I'm going to k*ll myself.

Don't stop me.

Don't stop me.

I'm going to k*ll myself.

Don't stop me.

I'm going to k*ll myself.

Crap!

Crap!

Crap!

It's all crap!

My sister!

-Mom, don't do that!
-Don't stop me!


-You disobedient brat!
-Don't do that!


Whatever you want, get it with a loan.

Get a loan without a gage.

We're honest. We're fast.

Just shop away.

WRITING WORKSHOP,
LET'S LEARN FROM LITERATURE EXPERT

WRITING WORKSHOP, 30,000 DOLLARS

It's all your fault!

I can't find a better man than you!

How annoying!

This one is a letch.

This one is always crying.

I don't like how he's dressed.

This one is as silent as an oyster.

This one is stingy.

ZHAI REN-HOU, YONG

Mei-mei?

Wait.

Wait for me.

You finally agreed to come out with me.

Why are you ignoring me?

Do you know?

I need my family's consent to get married.

I can't control what my son thinks.

Mei-mei?

Come on.

We've been honest with each other.

If you have anything to say,

just talk to me.

You're talkative now.

But you didn't stand up
for Ru-rong and me.

Your son is like a dad to you.

He has his own principles.

Mei-mei, I…

I apologize for them.

Okay?

I'm sorry.

I'm sorry.

I don't deserve your apology.

I'm but a lowly housewife.

Mei-mei?

Don't be mad.

It's not easy for me to meet someone

who is completely honest with me.

It's rarely seen at our age.

We're not the same.

Your child is not your child.

But my child is always my child.

Mei-mei!

Mei-mei?

Stop following me.

Go that way.

That way.

I want to get married.

It's my goal to get married.

I won't waste my time with you.

Come on.

I thought you agreed to come out with me

because you've forgiven me.

Forgiven you?

I'm here hiking to say goodbye.
We meet and part merrily.

I quit.

Mei-mei.

Mei-mei?

Please.

I'm begging you, okay?

-Let's talk about it.
-Kindhearted?

You're just a wimp.

I'm not the heart you're looking for.

Let go of me!

-Don't be mad at me.
-I hate you!

-I'll scold my kids later.
-Let go! What are you doing?

Mei-mei!

I'm coming, Mei-mei!

-Yong?
-Mei-mei!

What has the b*stard done to you?

-What are you doing here?
-What has he done to you?

-What are you doing here?
-I…

My goddess was calling me.

I must respond to you.

-Sorry. Wrong number.
-No, it's not.

I know you miss me.

Come here.

Don't be scared. I'll protect you.

You're the cheating married man.

What are you talking about?
I'm not a cheater.

-You are a cheater!
-No, you are!

Mei-mei is my soulmate.

What soulmate?

I met her earlier than you did.

-So what? Mei-mei is mine!
-What?

-Stop fighting!
-She's mine!

Mei-mei is mine!

-Stop fighting over me!
-She's mine!

Get out of here!

-No way!
-Go away!

Mei-mei!

It's dangerous.

Ms. Wang,
there's a fracture in your hip bone.

We've operated on it.

It takes six months to heal.

Be careful in the first three months.

Hey, doctor?

This is my daughter.

Are you married?

Thank you, doctor. I'm sorry.

Are you getting divorced?

Let's keep in touch.

Mom?

Don't do that, okay?

It was embarrassing.

Thank goodness you're still alive.

What exactly have you done?

Do you miss your dad?

What?

Do you miss your dad?

I'm lying here and feeling sad.

If he were still here,

I wouldn't have been suffering like this.

You finally know how nice he was.

Yes. I realize that

not many men can be as nice as he was.

He was nice to me and to you too.

I had a lot of suitors,

but I chose him because of one thing.

Which was?

He was patient.

When I was in school,
he waited at the gate.

When I was home,

he waited downstairs.

When the others left after ten minutes,

he stayed for three hours.

I think you were born to t*rture him.

It was not t*rture.

It was a trial for him. What do you know?

You're shameless!

My mom is resting!

Don't do this.

Look at that, Mom!

I'm here to visit you, Mei-mei.

Don't do that!

-I couldn't stop them, Mom.
-Mei-mei!

Mei-mei! I came in first.

-So--
-But…

I'll stay longer.

Nonsense!

Longer? We'll see.

Mei-mei?

Mei-mei,

one hundred roses.

Each one of them is you.

I guarded them with my life

on the MRT.

Who are you?

Come on.

The MRT? You don't even own a car?

Mei-mei, don't worry.

If you can't walk,

I'll drive you every day.

-It's great.
-Driving a car is dangerous.

Who knows what your crazy wife
is going to do?

If you can't brake it in time,

you'll be dead.

I can tame that tigress of mine.

Do you have the guts?

Can you do that to your son?

-Can you?
-I…

-Can you?
-Shut up, both of you!

Stop fighting over me!

By car, by the MRT, or by airplane,

just leave me alone!

I…

I'd rather spend

the rest of my life

all on my own.

-Ru-rong, Min, see them out.
-It's your fault.

-Yes, ma'am.
-Yes, ma'am.

I'm sorry, Mr. Zhai.

-Let my mom rest.
-Gentlemen.

-But I've arrived just now.
-Let her rest.

-I'm sorry.
-I'll give her the gifts.

-I'm sorry.
-Mei-mei?

-Come on.
-Stop crying.

-Thank you.
-See them off.

-My mom needs a rest.
-Let's go.

My mom needs a rest!

"Stop fighting over me!"

How exciting to say that!

You're good.

And you were so factitious.

Learn from me.

While I'm at the hospital,

you should visit me often.

Maybe you'll find your Mr. Right here.

Believe it or not,
it's easy for me to kick you out of bed.

It will be painful enough to shut you up.

You're horrible.

You can't trust an unmarried woman.

-You…
-Auntie Jin is here, Mom.

I called a taxi for those two.

I can't believe you broke your bones
for a man.

Auntie Jin, don't underestimate her.

It's for two men.

Those two that you saw.

Take your time. We're out of here.

-Let's go.
-Why?

Come on.

What took you so long?

Aren't you my best friend?

Once I saw the text, I rushed here.

I've been engrossed in online shopping.

I stayed up shopping last night

and spent a lot of money.

I saw the text when I woke up.

Online shopping?

You can't touch anything.

What's the fun?
Do you have nothing better to do?

But at least

I'm safe and sound.

Unlike you.

You fell down the slope.

I thought you visited Lu Yi on set.

He wanted me to visit him,

but he was upset when I got there.

It's so difficult.

What's wrong with these men?

All talk and no action.

And they hesitate to do everything.

Spineless b*stards.

Yes.

You should get well soon

to keep dealing with them.

By the way…

I've brought you something.

Look at it.

Put on your glasses.

See?

"Video calls."

What's that?

It's obviously useless.

No, it's very useful.

You can't do anything

but stay in bed.

So you'll stay home

and sit in front of the computer.

Just dress yourself up

to talk to whoever is in it.

With the lights and filters,

nobody knows how old you are.

Forget it.

It's exhausting.

I'd rather grow old and stay single

with my two washed-up daughters.

I'll eat whatever I want

as long as I'm happy.

Yes.

Being happy is important.

I bought this online.

If you don't like it, maybe I'll buy you…

Some sex toys.

Sex toys?

You've gained weight.

Look at your belly.

You're not pregnant, are you?

What are you talking about?

I'm in menopause.

And we always do it

with protection.

You're still doing it?

Really?

He's only 40-something.

We do it every couple of days.

When I don't have a piano lesson,

we stay home all day long.

-To do what?
-Play with all kinds of instruments.

Instruments?

Yes. Come on.

Do you want to try it?

-I can't believe it!
-Come on! Let's try it!

-It's not exciting enough! Come on!
-Playing instruments?

Come on.

-Take it easy, Mei-mei.
-Be careful.

Yes. Wait here.

Be careful.

-One, two, three!
-Two, three.

Come on. Two, three. Go!

Be careful.

Lean on me, Mei-mei,

not on the wall.

Are you all right?

-Come on.
-Yes.

Don't worry. I can do it.

Come on.

Here.

-Okay.
-Good.

-So glad I'm home.
-Yes.

I'm going to unpack.

I need to go to the bathroom.

Easy here.

Be careful.

Okay?

Are you going to take off my pants?

Okay. I'll leave.

Hello?

Hello, Min? You're home?

Mom is all right, isn't she?

Yes.

I'm writing my novel here.

-Can you take care of Mom?
-Me?

No.

I work night shifts.

Why are you writing it there?

You can do it at home.

I have my deadlines.

If I don't finish it soon,
Mom will blame me for not earning enough.


Mom keeps nagging me.
I can't do it at home.


Can you change your shifts?

Cha's company went bankrupt.

He hasn't been paid for three months.

I need to work more night shifts.

That leech is sucking your blood again?

I can take it for a while

until he finds a job.

-No. I've told you that he's a parasite.
-Thank goodness we're home.

-It began to rain heavily suddenly.
-You just don't listen.

-I'll take you out later.
-That's it. I have to go.

-Yes.
-I…

You're skinny,

but you're strong.

Yes.

It's hard. Do you want to feel it?

Like a washboard.

You can do the laundry with it.

Okay.

I've got a cute bottom too.

It's all right. Come on.

And my thighs.

My thighs.

-Yes?
-Hard, right?

Isn't it strong?

What more do you want?

Listen. It's the right size.

You don't need a large pot

to cook some chicken soup.

Everybody has one like that. Right?

If you're cooking chicken soup,
just tell me.

I love chicken soup.

I'll definitely eat it all.

-Hey!
-First, you…

-You're home.
-It's…

This…

Hey!

Don't look at me.

Mom bought them.

Six items in all.

Take a look yourself.
I don't know what she bought.

SUPER SEARCHING GLASSES

SEARCHING ABILITY INCREASED!

I've found five. Where's the sixth one?

Buy a Switch

and get the far infrared sauna bath
for free.

When you sit in it with the far infrared,

you'll look five years younger.

Buy it. I mean it.

Only five years?

Just buy it.

Use twice and be ten years younger.

Buy it.

But why do I have to pay
for what you want to buy?

No, Mei-mei.

Whatever I ask you to buy
is made just for you.

HIGH GRADE SCREEN MONITOR, NT 29,999

TOTAL CREDIT CARD SPENDING:


Are you getting your dowries ready?

What are you talking about?

These are all daily necessities.

I can't do anything

but stay home.

And yes. Auntie Jin was right.

Online shopping is fun.

They've got everything.

And Cha just told me about the website.

With 2 clicks,
what you want will be here in 24 hours.

You pest.

You're trying to drain us dry

in the disguise of a caretaker.

-Stop!
-Hey!

Don't blame him.

Except for his vocational training,

he has been with me all day long.

He's better than you two.

Those things that you bought…

How much money did you spend?

What have I done?

I paid for them all with my credit card.

But I pay your credit card bills.

You pest!

-You g*dd*mn pest!
-System upgrade…

Where is he?

-Go back to the room.
-You…

No. If he keeps doing this,

-Get inside!
-we'll be drained dry.

Where are you going?

We asked him to keep Mom company at home.

He told me that Mom shopped online.

How would I know she got out of control?

Mom loves shopping. Don't you remember?

Buy it!

Buy it!

Yes.

You g*dd*mn pest!

Return everything that Mom bought

or I'll feed you pesticide every day!

But why?

I need those things.

The rice cooker, vacuum cleaner,
and water boiler.

You need those too.

-Yes.
-But I…

What?

Return the television set.

But the old one was sold
to the recycle yard.

You deserve it.

It's the best punishment for you.

-You're the only person who watches it.
-Hey!

But I watch it too.

Don't remit her any more money.

She's out of her mind.

I have no comment.
I don't earn much anyway.

But is that a good idea?

You pest!

But…

I used to pay with it.
Why can't I use the card now?

-Okay. May I have your name again?
-Wang Mei-mei.

-Wang…
-Wang Mei-mei.

You're not the primary credit cardholder,
Ms. Wang.


-I can't provide you…
-What primary credit cardholder?

I'm a cardholder anyway. All right?

I need to use it. But I can't.

What's wrong with you?

Just let your supervisor know.

I paid a lot with it every month.

Come on.

I don't want to talk to you.

Sign here.

Bye.

Bye.

Thank you.

It's late. You're applying for a job?

No, I'm not.

Then why are you still here?

Don't you recognize me?

I'm the live-streamer

who eats high-calorie foods.

Don't you remember?

I'm quite famous.

No.

But…

don't you remember

the girl in your lingerie
who slept with your boyfriend?


What are you here for?

Is Cha still nagging you?

Quite the opposite.

I want him to keep nagging me.

I love him very much.

But I don't want to date him in secret.

I don't mind that he has two girlfriends.

And I want you to agree with me.

So he didn't break up with you.

I trust my instincts.

Min!

I was afraid that I might not like you.

But after talking to you,

I know that we can be friends.

See? We're wearing the same T-shirts.

It's normal that we're in love
with the same guy.

I don't know what to say,

but…

I don't think that I hate you.

Min…

I promise I'll tell you everything

that happens between us.

Like…

When and where we date.

Tomorrow is my birthday.

He promised to spend the day with me.

So that's his vocational training.

He said he spent time with his mom
on Tuesdays.

He was with you?

Yes.

The community committee came
to collect money,

but my purse is empty.

Poor me.

I'll give it to them tomorrow.

I don't even get to watch television.

I'll get you television
with built-in streaming.

Maybe I'll find myself
a domestic home crafting job,

like we used to do.

I'll get to earn

some pocket money

to sustain myself at least.

I don't want you to squander money,

but I'm not mistreating you.

The house is yours.
My sister and I can earn a living.

You have Dad's insurance money.

What are you moaning about?

Stop being a drama queen.

Go online, honey.

Sicily Queen and others
are waiting for you.

Just a second.

I heard that they're going to launch

a limited edition of this T-shirt.

I love the pattern very much.

Speaking of it,

I want the limited edition Switch.

That pattern of yours

is nothing but a heart with two eyes.

Just buy it.

Go ahead.

I want to buy it,

but there's no discount

for a limited edition.

And I don't buy clothes
without a discount.

I'll show you.

See?

I never buy one without a discount.

I'm dying here.

Come on. Help me.

They're all waiting for you.

To hell with them.

Okay.

Honey,

I'm wondering…

if you and your sister

can pay me for being a caretaker.

What?

Pay you?

Yes.

Don't you think that

I've taken good care of Mei-mei?

Let's start this month.

If you pay me,

you can focus on your work,

your sister can focus on writing novels,

and Mei-mei can focus on recuperating.

And I get to have a job with a salary.

I'm smart, right?

k*ll several birds with one stone.

How much do you think we should pay you?

I've Googled it.

The monthly salary for a caretaker

is this.

But I'll give you a discount.

I'll take this.

You got paid the day before yesterday.

Why is my account empty?

Fine.

I'll use these.

These gift certificates

are worth 30,000 dollars to pay you.

I found these gift certificates

while I was changing bedsheets.

No, don't. Don't be mad!

Where's the money?

-What? What's this? Why?
-My boss ran away.

The company went bankrupt.

I found these gift certificates

-in our office
-Give it to me!

that are worth 30,000 dollars.

-Why did you hide them?
-You…

Where's the money?

Chen Ru-rong!

Stop!

I've sustained you for so long.

What good have you done?

Stop!

Give me money!

You disobedient brat!

What are you doing so late at night?

I have to work tomorrow.

I can't sleep.

Your dad gave me money on time
every month.

I didn't have to worry about it.

-You pest!
-It hurts!

-You selfish b*stard!
-Calm down!

I'm telling you. Calm down!

I've had enough!

What are you doing? That's money!

You're giving me those?

Those are his. Ask him.
Ask him whom he's giving them to.

Chen Ruo-min! You're drunk again!

Leave me alone!

What are you doing
in the middle of the night?

But why aren't you in bed?

Your sister didn't give me money.
I'll give her hell!

Your dad just left me.

Do you two want to abandon me too?

Who wants to abandon you?

Haven't we been cleaning up after you?

Why are you mentioning Dad again?

A woman can't be free without money.

I'm in a wheelchair. I can't go anywhere.

You should at least give me money.

Do you want money?

Fine. Give her those gift certificates.

Give her!

Stop it, Chen Ruo-min!

Mom, can you please calm yourself down?

But I don't want to.
I want to let off steam.

There's no better way
than buying small objects.

Small objects?

What small objects? Tell me.

Yes, big objects. So what?

You can't get yourselves married,

but don't blame me for dating online.

I can buy whatever I want.

What? Do I need your permission
to do everything?

Come on.

I don't want to fight with you.

Can we all calm down?

The three of us are family.

We need to get along well, right?

And I promised Dad

that I'll take care of you two.

Take care of us? Where's the money?

How much did we spend on you?

And you don't give me
living expenses anymore?

You good-for-nothing!

How did your dad die?

It was all your fault!

-You nagged him to death!
-Shut up!

You just can't keep your mouth shut.

You're accusing me
of being good-for-nothing.

Is that the truth?

If Dad were here,
he would never let you say that to me.

Your dad?

Your dad!

Your dad?

Your dad!

What are you doing?

-What are you fighting for?
-Wang Mei-mei!

-Why did you smash Dad's picture?
-Are you guys done?

Are you out of your mind?

-You need a doctor!
-Stop it!
