Episode 4
Thank you.
Sorry for bothering you so much.
I'll treat you to dinner when it's done.
There's only one day left of the weekend.
I also have homework to do.
I asked someone to
let you be crammed into the tutoring class of math.
One student of the teacher
got admitted to Peking University last year.
Your math is kinda weak.
You failed to solve one big problem.
It's because the math teacher
set the wrong problem.
It's one of the twelfth grade.
But Wang Yajie got a full mark.
You'll have to
get along with some good classmates
like Yajie
instead of always
staying with Li Jianjian.
I won't restrict you
to making a friend,
but you have to making friends
with those who're aspirant.
Then you can interact one another.
Okay.
I usually talk about
problems with Wang Yajie.
You're so well-behaved.
Well, what about sending you
a digital camera
on your birthday?
Are you serious?
Thank you, Mom.
But I have one condition.
You'll have to get a better score
than Wang Yajie in the next exam.
You used to rank second
when you were in junior school.
You have to prove yourself.
Okay.
Goodbye, Mom.
What do you wanna eat for dinner?
I intend to go to a cafe
and do a paper
with Wang Yajie together this evening.
And we'll have hotpot together.
Fine. It's okay.
Do you have enough money?
Treat your classmate to dinner, will you?
Mom, could you please give me another 100 yuan?
I give 300 hundred yuan.
Mom, you're always the kindest.
Goodbye, Mom.
Hello, Mentor.
Hello.
Catch the ball.
Zhuang Bei.
He Ziqiu, fighting.
That man who looks like a chimpanzee
is the best friend of my second brother.
Which one?
Except your second brother,
all the others look like a chimpanzee.
The one who looks like the most
is named Zhuang Bei.
Fighting.
He Ziqiu, fighting.
He Ziqiu, fighting.
He Ziqiu, fighting.
He Ziqiu, fighting.
He Ziqiu, fighting.
Water, water, water.
Here it is.
Okay. Thank you.
Have a look at it.
What?
You drew a painting of me?
Let me have a look.
I drew it seriously.
It looks too ugly.
Why?
Look at the leg and the arm.
It doesn't look like me, does it?
You're smelly. You're smelly.
You're sweating heavily. Stay away from me.
Stay away from me.
You're avoiding me because of my smell?
Well, let me wipe my sweat with this.
You're avoiding me because of my smell, aren't you?
He Ziqiu,
take it away. Go take it back and wash it.
You wanna make me wash clothes for you again.
No way.
Handsome Ling,
someone is waiting for you outside.
Hand it out for me.
I remember when I left,
you were a child.
How fast time flies!
You've grown up.
I can hardly recognize you.
I live in Singapore now.
And I got married again.
I know.
Grandmother has told me.
Okay.
Then you must have know
you've got a younger sister now,
whose name is Chengzi.
She always wanna
see you.
Why does she wanna see me?
I don't know her at all.
But you run the same blood
in your veins.
She can be counted as your relative, can't she?
Do you have anything else?
I'm leaving first.
I heard…
I heard your father
is still busy with work.
And he doesn't get married again.
So he always keeps you staying
in the place of Li Haichao.
Is Li Haichao nice to you?
Your father pays him, doesn't he?
Has he spent all the money on you?
Father Li doesn't take care of me
because of money.
It's not what I meant.
I mean, if you
feel aggrieved
or uncomfortable,
you won't have to bury it in your heart.
Remember to tell your grandmother…
Have you thought too much?
Father Li treats me as his own son.
I treat him as my own father,
and I'll take care of him when he is aged.
You've had a new family
while I have mine.
I have no idea why
you come back.
And you even judged
my family.
You left
me to Jianjian at that time, didn't you?
I'm sorry.
I know I did something wrong…
I'm sorry.
But I didn't have any other option then.
At that time,
I myself really wasn't
good.
If I had kept you
by my side,
you would have been hurt
more heavily.
I wasn't able to
take care of myself then.
Leaving you behind wasn't…
I do miss you.
Why hasn't he come out yet?
Hey, Li Jianjian,
go inside and drag him out.
That's his mother.
Hasn't she left Ling Xiao behind?
She has been caring nothing of Ling Xiao for so many years,
and she didn't make a call to him.
How could she be regarded as a mother?
It's true.
But
haven't you ever thought about finding your mother?
Why should I?
Are you asking me to beat you?
Are you an idiot?
They treat us like rubbish
that they could throw away and find back
as they want, don't they?
It's fine. It's fine.
It's fine that you haven't thought about it.
Don't get angry.
It's because you were being spineless.
Fine. I'll go back to my class.
You can wait here by yourself if you're willing to.
When I find a job
in Shenzhen,
I'll fetch you there.
Mom,
you should come to fetch me as soon as you can.
Mom,
you should come to fetch me as soon as you can.
I'm really sorry.
Could you forgive me?
Do you have anything else?
I'm leaving.
I…
Don't you know that the Academic Director has been finding
couples who are in puppy love around the school?
Don't let our fathers know
we met her.
Have you heard me?
Yep.
Stand still, the two of you.
The boy and girl.
Which class are you in?
Let's run.
Stop, the two of you.
Hello. Welcome.
How many guests?
I've made an appointment with my friend.
The guest should have been inside.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I'm late since I had something to do in the police station.
It doesn't matter.
I've been waiting only for more than one hour.
I used to wait longer.
I did have something to do in the police station.
Have some tea.
Oh.
It's Tie Guanyin.
I don't like it because it might hurt my stomach.
Give me a cup of water.
I'm thirsty because I've said so much
in the police station.
You accent
has changed.
What? Has it?
It's quite obvious.
You look younger.
Our child has grown up.
How could I look younger?
Thank you.
Thank you for taking care of
the school thing of my daughter.
Well.
You should take this
and finish the admission procedures in the school. Then it's done.
Sorry to bother you.
It's not a big deal.
I also heard
my mother always asks you for help.
She did these inappropriately because she's aged.
You can refuse her as you want.
Your mother is the grandmother of Ling Xiao.
She's a relative.
I'll help her if I can.
You're always
warmhearted as you used to be.
I married you
because of it.
Your husband will
come to work here for merely half a year, won't he?
Do you have to transfer your daughter here?
Transferring to another school
isn't good for the study of a child.
It's because
I have to come here to take care of my husband.
My husband thinks
a family should stay together.
And a child should always be by the side of her parents
instead of making her parents yield.
So I'd better transfer my daughter here.
It's the best
cultivation for my child.
Well.
Right. Right. Right.
Company means the most to a child.
You finally get it.
Well, I'm leaving.
Well…
Feel free to say it.
I'll help you if I can.
There's nothing important.
But
I went to meet Ling Xiao.
Who allowed you to do it?
I think I haven't seen him for long.
Besides, both my mother and elder brother said
I should pay more attention to him.
I have to stay here for half a year this time.
And Chengzi hasn't seen her elder brother yet.
I thought they are siblings.
They
should meet each other.
Chen Ting, you've gone too far.
Show your concern for him?
Why shouldn't you have done it earlier?
You've been away from him for ten years.
Now you wanna show your concern for him.
You should have asked him
whether he wanted to meet you.
I just wanna make up to him.
As his biological mother,
it's proper for me
to meet my own son.
You get to know you're
his biological mother.
You should have done it earlier.
You don't know it's always
a nightmare for Ling Xiao, do you?
Is it caused
by me alone?
Aren't you on the same team with me?
I was sick then,
so I took
all the responsibilities.
But over the years,
have you done what a father should do?
You left your child in the place of your neighbor
without taking care of him.
You paid your neighbor some living costs each month.
So that's it?
Li Haichao had to take care of
three children.
Do you think he could take care of him well?
Ling Xiao told me
he treats Li Haichao as his own father.
Does it mean if you hired
a maid for him,
he would treat her
as his own mother?
Li Haichao is his own father.
So what?
Then who on earth
are you, his biological father?
I'm telling you
never to meet Ling Xiao
and find him in the future.
I'm begging you
to let us go. Okay?
You're making trouble.
Have you finished your mathematics assignment?
Let me check.
I'm not able to do it.
Haven't I told you
how to deal with the problems?
I'll do it as soon as I finish drawing.
Second brother.
Yep.
What are you doing?
Let her draw since she likes it.
Isn't the broom dirty?
Hurry and do your homework.
Father Ling.
Father Ling is coming back.
You're doing your homework, aren't you?
Dad.
Ling Xiao,
well, today…
What's up?
Nothing.
Do your homework.
Hey, stop.
Stop wiping the floor. It's been pretty clean already.
Go back home.
Haichao.
Go back to do your homework.
What are they gonna talk?
Of course it should be something
we couldn't know.
Do your homework.
Chen Ting
went to the school
to find Ling Xiao today.
She hasn't contacted you
for so many years. How come
she went to the school
without noticing you in advance?
That's the thing.
I met her today.
Well, she acted
insufferably arrogant.
What a lofty lady she has been!
She even talked about the cultivation with me.
We talked about
the transferring thing of her present child.
She said she couldn't let her daughter be away from her,
which pissed me off.
Well, does it mean our Ling Xiao
was supposed to be away from his own mother?
I'm telling you she must
have said many
unpleasant words.
Have you asked Ling Xiao about it?
I wanted to ask him just now.
But I found he seemed unwilling to talk about it.
You have to ask him even if he doesn't wanna talk about it.
Why should I have to ask about it?
Have a look at them. He seemed to be happy just now.
I think
he might not care about it so much.
I've warned Chen Ting
not to go to the school
and find Ling Xiao in the future anyway.
Has she promised you?
The words I'd said were quite harsh.
But according to her personality,
I'm not sure.
You have to deal with the thing well.
I know.
Well,
you shall ask Ling Xiao about it
when you have time.
He always tells you everything.
Okay. I'll figure out a way.
Don't worry.
Someone, help.
Help.
Someone, help.
Help.
Someone, help.
Anyone here?
Open the door.
Pigsy, Wang Doudou.
I don't think it's proper.
Brother said it would be fine.
Help me out, pigsy.
Let's go.
Hurry up. Hurry up. Hurry up.
Li Jianjian, give me back the umbrella.
Li Jianjian, what are you doing?
I'll go tell your father.
Dad, I'm back.
Ling Xiao.
Good boy.
You're back.
You've grown taller.
Grandma, why do you come here?
Your mom sprained her ankle.
So she asked me
to cook for you in two days.
Ling Xiao,
I've heard from your mother
that she's too busy
to bring your younger sister to you.
Come here,
Chengzi.
This is your brother.
Are you too happy to move?
You've been saying
you wanna meet your elder brother
all the time at home.
Come here. This is your brother.
Hurry and come here.
Brother.
You're my brother.
How did you practice at home?
Say something.
Brother, nice to meet you.
I'm Qin Meiyang.
I'm in the first grade of primary school.
I've prepared a gift for you
when I come here.
I hope you would like it.
Take it.
Who allowed you to take her here?
Go sit there, my girl.
Come here. Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Don't look at it.
Hurry and call your Father Ling.
Let him come back as soon as he can.
Do you want a candy?
Chengzi is your biological sister.
You haven't met one another before,
but biologically speaking,
except your parents,
she's the closest one to you.
I don't need a younger sister.
I've already had one.
Li Jianjian, that kind of younger sister,
can't be compared with a cousin.
So how could she be compared with Chengzi?
Li Haichao took care of you
because your father paid him.
How could you be that silly?
If you judge my Father Li like this anymore,
don't come here again in the future.
What?
Do you wanna
split me up?
You're too naïve.
Will I frame you as your grandmother?
Don't you know who's nice to you?
I know it for sure.
Could you please not come
to find my father anymore in the future?
Is there a relationship between him and you?
You don't have a son or a son-in-law, do you?
You…
How could you say like this?
Who taught you to act like that?
Leave here with the child inside
when you finish acting the play.
Don't come to bother us anymore.
You…you…
How could you talk like this?
Who taught you to say this?
What a rude child you're!
Grandma. Grandma.
Don't hit him. Don't hit him.
I'm teaching him a lesson.
He's not well-behaved.
You can talk to him without hitting him.
Father Ling will be distressed when he know it.
He'll feel distressed if I hit him for once.
It seems he hasn't been hit before,
so he's not well-behaved.
He deserves it.
Since he's ill-bred.
He's not.
It's fine. Go inside.
Jianjian.
Grandma, well,
if you wanna talk with him, please talk inside.
You're standing in the rain.
Your…your shoes are getting wet.
Wow, the shoes you wear are new.
Enough. Enough.
What an ill-bred child!
What the hell?
What an annoying old lady!
You're leaving, aren't you?
Shall I call a taxi for you?
No need. I'll go by myself.
Will my brother go with us?
No, he won't.
And you're gonna stay here too today.
You'll stay here.
Since you won't have to go to school tomorrow.
Have fun with your brother.
Behave well.
Sure.
You can't leave her here.
Don't worry.
I won't leave her in your place.
It's none of your business.
If Ling Xiao doesn't take care of her,
he can leave her
in the street.
What?
Nope.
You can't leave the child here.
Hey.
Well,
is the old lady out of her mind?
Who are you?
Li Jianjian.
Why do you call my brother
Brother?
Because he's my brother.
How could it happen?
My mom said
my brother has only one sister, who is me.
She merely gave birth to my brother and me.
Besides,
you don't have the same last name.
Yours is also different from mine.
Then you're supposed
to have the same last name, Qin, as me,
aren't you?
Nope.
Your mother abandoned him in the first place.
There's no relationship between him and you.
Do you know?
You're talking nonsense.
Mom would cry
each time
she thought about my brother.
Mom said
we didn't live together,
but our hearts were connected.
What are you two doing?
Why do you say this to a child?
I'm also a child.
You've been such a big girl…
How could you say…
Where's his grandma?
She's left already.
You know you should come back, don't you?
I think you would have been
flowed away by the heavy rain.
There's so much work in the police station.
You mean…
I won't count on you anymore.
I'd rather call 110.
If I should come here as a policeman,
it would be a lot faster.
I'm going home first.
I haven't finished my homework.
Ziqiu, Jianjian, let's go back.
Brother, where're you going?
Brother.
Brother.
Take umbrellas with you.
They're going home.
I'm here to take you home.
I don't wanna go home. I want my brother.
Brother.
Behave well.
The uncle is a policeman.
If you don't behave well…
Right. Right. Right.
Shall I take you home?
I don't wanna go home. I want my brother.
Brother.
Brother.
You…
You can deal with it as you want.
I want my brother.
All I want is my brother.
How much does the Chinese cabbage cost?
Two yuan for 500 grams.
The price is up.
It's not.
Vegetables are more expensive than they were.
The vegetables sold in town are always expensive.
I can buy one kilogram of it
in our county.
Granny,
we've trimmed it before.
So there're no withered leaves.
Please don't trim it anymore.
If you keep trimming it, there'll be only the flowering cabbage.
The leaves I trim are withered.
It's okay. Weigh it up.
Granny,
someone like you had better
come to buy vegetables
when our stalls are about to be closed.
The vegetables are sold at a cheaper price then.
You're a vegetable seller,
how could you say like that?
You don't allow your guests
to pick and choose your vegetables, do you?
You're looking down upon me.
Have a look at my daughter.
Does she look like anyone who can't afford the vegetables?
I'm telling you
both my daughter and son-in-law
are high-ranking administrators in Singaporean companies.
They drive a Benz when they go out.
They're loaded.
Why do you say these to him?
I'm sorry. She's old.
How much is it?
Two yuan and nine jiao.
Don't give short weight.
Granny, see for yourself.
Does it cost two yuan and nine jiao?
Okay. Okay. I get it.
Okay.
Here you're. Give me the change.
I mean,
you sent Chengzi
to the place of Ling Xiao,
he wouldn't be happy with it.
You have to give him some time
to accept the truth.
Besides, what you've done
won't work.
You sent the child
to the store of Li Haichao
while Ling Heping
sent her back.
You don't get it.
What I intend to do is let Chengzi
stay with her elder brother
and make him get used to it.
The child has been deserted
by you for such a long time.
If you don't take the initiative to communicate with him,
who will break the ice?
But now,
when I meet Ling Xiao,
I have no idea what I should say.
When I meet him,
I even feel
scared.
You got divorced silently.
What did I say in the first place?
You got divorced
and you didn't take care of your child.
You must end up with
regret.
What happens in the end?
I didn't agree
you got married with Ling Heping.
I introduced the colleague
of your elder brother
whose parents did business in Beijing to you.
And he looked mighty.
He did look mighty.
Since he weighed 90 kilograms.
Could you please stop
talking about the past?
Isn't your current son-in-law good?
You were
so lucky
to meet him.
Besides,
stop bothering
Ling Helping all the time.
You don't have your own son, do you?
I know I have my own son.
I do it on purpose.
That I bother him always
is because I wanna keep in touch with Ling Xiao.
You know, Ling Heping
is so kind and honest
that his own son is almost gonna
call Li Haichao father.
But he's
still happy with it.
You can only
count on me
to scheme it for you.
What's up? You don't wanna play basketball, do you?
Yep.
Let's continue.
Nope. What do you mean?
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you actually?
It's not your mother who came to find you.
Why are so perturbed?
Even if I tell you the whole story of our family,
you won't understand it.
Yep. I really don't get it.
The Handsome Ling
is always unique.
Even if he doesn't wanna admit it,
she's his mother anyway.
Qin Meiyang
is his uterine sister anyway.
Is he too hardhearted?
If you don't get to know the whole story,
could you please stop judging it?
I can stop,
but why did you push me?
I make it clear to you that
there're five members in my family in total.
The others don't belong to my family.
Then why do you keep finding your mother
who doesn't belong to your family?
Why I keep finding her is to ask her
why she abandoned me.
And I've to take back the money
belongs to my father.
What if she says
her family was in trouble at that time?
Do you mean your mother would abandon you,
if her family was in trouble?
I mean it.
What if she was
a junkwoman?
Your mother was
a junkwoman.
Is it what I meant?
Hey. Come on. Forget about it. Forget about it.
I'll accompany you to pick up your younger sister.
Let's go have hotpot.
You can go by yourself.
He Ziqiu.
Do you know her?
I'm sorry. I mistake you for someone else.
It doesn't matter.
Who do you mistake her for?
An elder brother.
What?
Nope.
An elder sister.
You scared me to death.
I thought you mistook her
for your mother.
I'm coming.
You hardly remembered the time
when you played basketball.
I happened to meet Qi Mingyue
and her mother.
Her tutoring class has just been over.
The bus is coming.
Let's go.
♫Thinking of the first time that I held your hand,♫
♫you held me so tight as if I was everything to you♫
♫One is getting bigger,♫
♫while the other is getting smaller♫
♫Time brings us♫
♫together in our lives♫
♫Good night♫
♫Goodbye♫
Liberation.
♫My children,♫
L-i-b-e-r-a-t-i-o-n.
♫maybe when you leave here♫
Why do you know a boy of
the twelfth grade?
He's the second brother of Li Jianjian.
L-i-b-e-r…
Didn't you call him He Ziqiu?
He's a cousin of her?
Nope.
It's…
He Ziqiu's mother almost
got married with Li Jianjian's father.
And then…
Well, he's her second brother anyway.
Liberation.
You even know him.
Do you still play with Li Jianjian?
Nope. I'm the monitor.
I've to know something about the family backgrounds
of my classmates.
Qi Mingyue,
you're going through the crucial time.
You've to take study as your priority.
Don't think about anything else.
Mom, what are you talking about?
I'm an experienced person.
When you get admitted to university,
I won't restrict you.
Mom, haven't you always asked me
to stay with those who are good at studying?
Li Jianjian's second brother
ranks top 10 in his class
while her elder brother has ranked first in his grade
since he entered the school.
He must get admitted to Peking University in the future.
Are you serious?
Why do I lie to you about it?
Mom, you're driving.
What an elder lady she is!
She took advantage of her seniority.
She always takes Chengzi
here when she's at leisure.
She's that aged
and she's an elder of us.
We can't kick her out of our place,
can we?
The elder can
do whatever she wants here.
You are not able to figure out a way.
What else can I do
since I'm an outsider?
What are you talking about?
How could you treat yourself
as an outsider?
How come I'm not an outsider?
I'm neither a family nor an outsider.
You're narrow-minded.
Don't worry.
The child himself
knows who's his real family.
We'd better bear it.
It'll only last for a few months.
We can bear it.
But will our children be able to bear it?
Haven't you seen how depressed
Ling Xiao was in these days?
Besides, Ziqiu and Xiaojian
were unhappy.
Right.
But Ling Xiao
has to get used to it, doesn't he?
They're his own mother and grandmother.
And Chengzi
is his half-blood younger sister anyway.
These things can't be changed.
Ling Xiao is too sensitive.
If he can be as unconcerned as Ziqiu,
that'll be great.
Okay.
We'll bear it if you say so.
If the child needs you,
you don't care about him.
When he grows up,
you won't be able to discipline him.
Haichao,
you've cooked so many dishes.
What about not frying the beans?
Why not cook it?
What else can I do?
What I can do is cook dishes.
When children are
unhappy,
a meal prepared by me can make them full
and feel kinda happy.
Why do you stop me from cooking it?
I just wanna cook one more dish.
Why do you stop me?
Cook it. Cook it. Cook it.
You can cook it and I'll continue to peel the beans.
Do it. Do it. Cook the dish.
Hello.
Hello, Mentor.
Does Ling Xiao's grandmother
take his uterine sister
to your place each time?
They not only come but come at the time for dinner.
People who come to our noodle restaurant are our regular guests.
She makes the people of the whole community
know the thing of Chen Ting.
She takes advantage of her seniority, doesn't she?
Doesn't Ling Xiao's father take care of it?
Ho.
Not to mention my Father Ling.
He avoids her faster than anyone else.
Don't marry a man
like my Father Ling.
Not to mention the husband thing,
your elder brother is about to be taken away.
Be taken away?
By whom?
Chengzi.
Is she gonna take your elder brother away?
They are the siblings
who are related by flesh and blood, aren't they?
So what if they're related?
Does it mean there's a magnetic field between them?
They can be connected when they meet?
Haven't you heard about the boring
lifestyle news?
There's always a Xiaoli
who was abandoned
but tries her utmost
to find her biological parents.
When she finds them,
her parents will always complain tearfully
that they were forced to
abandon the child at that time.
But in fact,
they do love the child.
And then Xiaoli and her biological parents
will embrace one another and cry together.
Then they'll bury the hatchet.
My elder brother is named Ling Xiao.
He won't be like Xiaoli.
You don't get my point.
No matter how they were abandoned,
they'd like to find
their biological parents,
which means
consanguinity
is like a spell
that is magical.
What happened to your second brother
is pretty popular.
Generally speaking,
those people will take part in some relative-seeking programs
when they grow up.
My elder brother and second brother
are different from someone else.
Our family will
fight against the outsiders.
Li Jianjian,
I do envy of you.
I also want a brother
who can both be nice to me
and distract
my mother.
Then I'll live
an extremely happy life
instead of being miserable.
I have to attend the tutoring class at weekends.
I'm exhausted.
I don't understand the
pain of a child from an only-child family.
Having a successful second marriage
is awesome, isn't it?
Look at that aged lady,
she's showing off all the time,
carrying that Chengzi.
Ow!
Has she forgotten what happened in those years?
And that Chen Ting,
she was so cruelhearted
that she even abandoned
her own son.
How dare she come back?
When a person gets elder,
he'll know the importance of having his own child.
Not to mention
how well Ling Xiao studies!
He must have good prospects.
It's good for Chen Ting to get divorced.
She also went through a hard time then.
Looking at her husband and son,
she would think of
her late daughter.
She totally went into
a dead end.
If she hadn't got divorced and left,
she would
have died.
She wouldn't have been where she is now.
In my opinion,
only when a person
can live a good life for himself,
he'll be able to be a good person.
Right. How could a beggar
care about others' business?
Even a beggar should
feed his own child, shouldn't he?
Am I right?
Yep.
That's what a mother should do.
Well, it's your turn.
Episode 4
Thank you.
Sorry for bothering you so much.
I'll treat you to dinner when it's done.
There's only one day left of the weekend.
I also have homework to do.
I asked someone to
let you be crammed into the tutoring class of math.
One student of the teacher
got admitted to Peking University last year.
Your math is kinda weak.
You failed to solve one big problem.
It's because the math teacher
set the wrong problem.
It's one of the twelfth grade.
But Wang Yajie got a full mark.
You'll have to
get along with some good classmates
like Yajie
instead of always
staying with Li Jianjian.
I won't restrict you
to making a friend,
but you have to making friends
with those who're aspirant.
Then you can interact one another.
Okay.
I usually talk about
problems with Wang Yajie.
You're so well-behaved.
Well, what about sending you
a digital camera
on your birthday?
Are you serious?
Thank you, Mom.
But I have one condition.
You'll have to get a better score
than Wang Yajie in the next exam.
You used to rank second
when you were in junior school.
You have to prove yourself.
Okay.
Goodbye, Mom.
What do you wanna eat for dinner?
I intend to go to a cafe
and do a paper
with Wang Yajie together this evening.
And we'll have hotpot together.
Fine. It's okay.
Do you have enough money?
Treat your classmate to dinner, will you?
Mom, could you please give me another 100 yuan?
I give 300 hundred yuan.
Mom, you're always the kindest.
Goodbye, Mom.
Hello, Mentor.
Hello.
Catch the ball.
Zhuang Bei.
He Ziqiu, fighting.
That man who looks like a chimpanzee
is the best friend of my second brother.
Which one?
Except your second brother,
all the others look like a chimpanzee.
The one who looks like the most
is named Zhuang Bei.
Fighting.
He Ziqiu, fighting.
He Ziqiu, fighting.
He Ziqiu, fighting.
He Ziqiu, fighting.
He Ziqiu, fighting.
Water, water, water.
Here it is.
Okay. Thank you.
Have a look at it.
What?
You drew a painting of me?
Let me have a look.
I drew it seriously.
It looks too ugly.
Why?
Look at the leg and the arm.
It doesn't look like me, does it?
You're smelly. You're smelly.
You're sweating heavily. Stay away from me.
Stay away from me.
You're avoiding me because of my smell?
Well, let me wipe my sweat with this.
You're avoiding me because of my smell, aren't you?
He Ziqiu,
take it away. Go take it back and wash it.
You wanna make me wash clothes for you again.
No way.
Handsome Ling,
someone is waiting for you outside.
Hand it out for me.
I remember when I left,
you were a child.
How fast time flies!
You've grown up.
I can hardly recognize you.
I live in Singapore now.
And I got married again.
I know.
Grandmother has told me.
Okay.
Then you must have know
you've got a younger sister now,
whose name is Chengzi.
She always wanna
see you.
Why does she wanna see me?
I don't know her at all.
But you run the same blood
in your veins.
She can be counted as your relative, can't she?
Do you have anything else?
I'm leaving first.
I heard…
I heard your father
is still busy with work.
And he doesn't get married again.
So he always keeps you staying
in the place of Li Haichao.
Is Li Haichao nice to you?
Your father pays him, doesn't he?
Has he spent all the money on you?
Father Li doesn't take care of me
because of money.
It's not what I meant.
I mean, if you
feel aggrieved
or uncomfortable,
you won't have to bury it in your heart.
Remember to tell your grandmother…
Have you thought too much?
Father Li treats me as his own son.
I treat him as my own father,
and I'll take care of him when he is aged.
You've had a new family
while I have mine.
I have no idea why
you come back.
And you even judged
my family.
You left
me to Jianjian at that time, didn't you?
I'm sorry.
I know I did something wrong…
I'm sorry.
But I didn't have any other option then.
At that time,
I myself really wasn't
good.
If I had kept you
by my side,
you would have been hurt
more heavily.
I wasn't able to
take care of myself then.
Leaving you behind wasn't…
I do miss you.
Why hasn't he come out yet?
Hey, Li Jianjian,
go inside and drag him out.
That's his mother.
Hasn't she left Ling Xiao behind?
She has been caring nothing of Ling Xiao for so many years,
and she didn't make a call to him.
How could she be regarded as a mother?
It's true.
But
haven't you ever thought about finding your mother?
Why should I?
Are you asking me to beat you?
Are you an idiot?
They treat us like rubbish
that they could throw away and find back
as they want, don't they?
It's fine. It's fine.
It's fine that you haven't thought about it.
Don't get angry.
It's because you were being spineless.
Fine. I'll go back to my class.
You can wait here by yourself if you're willing to.
When I find a job
in Shenzhen,
I'll fetch you there.
Mom,
you should come to fetch me as soon as you can.
Mom,
you should come to fetch me as soon as you can.
I'm really sorry.
Could you forgive me?
Do you have anything else?
I'm leaving.
I…
Don't you know that the Academic Director has been finding
couples who are in puppy love around the school?
Don't let our fathers know
we met her.
Have you heard me?
Yep.
Stand still, the two of you.
The boy and girl.
Which class are you in?
Let's run.
Stop, the two of you.
Hello. Welcome.
How many guests?
I've made an appointment with my friend.
The guest should have been inside.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
I'm late since I had something to do in the police station.
It doesn't matter.
I've been waiting only for more than one hour.
I used to wait longer.
I did have something to do in the police station.
Have some tea.
Oh.
It's Tie Guanyin.
I don't like it because it might hurt my stomach.
Give me a cup of water.
I'm thirsty because I've said so much
in the police station.
You accent
has changed.
What? Has it?
It's quite obvious.
You look younger.
Our child has grown up.
How could I look younger?
Thank you.
Thank you for taking care of
the school thing of my daughter.
Well.
You should take this
and finish the admission procedures in the school. Then it's done.
Sorry to bother you.
It's not a big deal.
I also heard
my mother always asks you for help.
She did these inappropriately because she's aged.
You can refuse her as you want.
Your mother is the grandmother of Ling Xiao.
She's a relative.
I'll help her if I can.
You're always
warmhearted as you used to be.
I married you
because of it.
Your husband will
come to work here for merely half a year, won't he?
Do you have to transfer your daughter here?
Transferring to another school
isn't good for the study of a child.
It's because
I have to come here to take care of my husband.
My husband thinks
a family should stay together.
And a child should always be by the side of her parents
instead of making her parents yield.
So I'd better transfer my daughter here.
It's the best
cultivation for my child.
Well.
Right. Right. Right.
Company means the most to a child.
You finally get it.
Well, I'm leaving.
Well…
Feel free to say it.
I'll help you if I can.
There's nothing important.
But
I went to meet Ling Xiao.
Who allowed you to do it?
I think I haven't seen him for long.
Besides, both my mother and elder brother said
I should pay more attention to him.
I have to stay here for half a year this time.
And Chengzi hasn't seen her elder brother yet.
I thought they are siblings.
They
should meet each other.
Chen Ting, you've gone too far.
Show your concern for him?
Why shouldn't you have done it earlier?
You've been away from him for ten years.
Now you wanna show your concern for him.
You should have asked him
whether he wanted to meet you.
I just wanna make up to him.
As his biological mother,
it's proper for me
to meet my own son.
You get to know you're
his biological mother.
You should have done it earlier.
You don't know it's always
a nightmare for Ling Xiao, do you?
Is it caused
by me alone?
Aren't you on the same team with me?
I was sick then,
so I took
all the responsibilities.
But over the years,
have you done what a father should do?
You left your child in the place of your neighbor
without taking care of him.
You paid your neighbor some living costs each month.
So that's it?
Li Haichao had to take care of
three children.
Do you think he could take care of him well?
Ling Xiao told me
he treats Li Haichao as his own father.
Does it mean if you hired
a maid for him,
he would treat her
as his own mother?
Li Haichao is his own father.
So what?
Then who on earth
are you, his biological father?
I'm telling you
never to meet Ling Xiao
and find him in the future.
I'm begging you
to let us go. Okay?
You're making trouble.
Have you finished your mathematics assignment?
Let me check.
I'm not able to do it.
Haven't I told you
how to deal with the problems?
I'll do it as soon as I finish drawing.
Second brother.
Yep.
What are you doing?
Let her draw since she likes it.
Isn't the broom dirty?
Hurry and do your homework.
Father Ling.
Father Ling is coming back.
You're doing your homework, aren't you?
Dad.
Ling Xiao,
well, today…
What's up?
Nothing.
Do your homework.
Hey, stop.
Stop wiping the floor. It's been pretty clean already.
Go back home.
Haichao.
Go back to do your homework.
What are they gonna talk?
Of course it should be something
we couldn't know.
Do your homework.
Chen Ting
went to the school
to find Ling Xiao today.
She hasn't contacted you
for so many years. How come
she went to the school
without noticing you in advance?
That's the thing.
I met her today.
Well, she acted
insufferably arrogant.
What a lofty lady she has been!
She even talked about the cultivation with me.
We talked about
the transferring thing of her present child.
She said she couldn't let her daughter be away from her,
which pissed me off.
Well, does it mean our Ling Xiao
was supposed to be away from his own mother?
I'm telling you she must
have said many
unpleasant words.
Have you asked Ling Xiao about it?
I wanted to ask him just now.
But I found he seemed unwilling to talk about it.
You have to ask him even if he doesn't wanna talk about it.
Why should I have to ask about it?
Have a look at them. He seemed to be happy just now.
I think
he might not care about it so much.
I've warned Chen Ting
not to go to the school
and find Ling Xiao in the future anyway.
Has she promised you?
The words I'd said were quite harsh.
But according to her personality,
I'm not sure.
You have to deal with the thing well.
I know.
Well,
you shall ask Ling Xiao about it
when you have time.
He always tells you everything.
Okay. I'll figure out a way.
Don't worry.
Someone, help.
Help.
Someone, help.
Help.
Someone, help.
Anyone here?
Open the door.
Pigsy, Wang Doudou.
I don't think it's proper.
Brother said it would be fine.
Help me out, pigsy.
Let's go.
Hurry up. Hurry up. Hurry up.
Li Jianjian, give me back the umbrella.
Li Jianjian, what are you doing?
I'll go tell your father.
Dad, I'm back.
Ling Xiao.
Good boy.
You're back.
You've grown taller.
Grandma, why do you come here?
Your mom sprained her ankle.
So she asked me
to cook for you in two days.
Ling Xiao,
I've heard from your mother
that she's too busy
to bring your younger sister to you.
Come here,
Chengzi.
This is your brother.
Are you too happy to move?
You've been saying
you wanna meet your elder brother
all the time at home.
Come here. This is your brother.
Hurry and come here.
Brother.
You're my brother.
How did you practice at home?
Say something.
Brother, nice to meet you.
I'm Qin Meiyang.
I'm in the first grade of primary school.
I've prepared a gift for you
when I come here.
I hope you would like it.
Take it.
Who allowed you to take her here?
Go sit there, my girl.
Come here. Come here.
Come here.
Come here.
Don't look at it.
Hurry and call your Father Ling.
Let him come back as soon as he can.
Do you want a candy?
Chengzi is your biological sister.
You haven't met one another before,
but biologically speaking,
except your parents,
she's the closest one to you.
I don't need a younger sister.
I've already had one.
Li Jianjian, that kind of younger sister,
can't be compared with a cousin.
So how could she be compared with Chengzi?
Li Haichao took care of you
because your father paid him.
How could you be that silly?
If you judge my Father Li like this anymore,
don't come here again in the future.
What?
Do you wanna
split me up?
You're too naïve.
Will I frame you as your grandmother?
Don't you know who's nice to you?
I know it for sure.
Could you please not come
to find my father anymore in the future?
Is there a relationship between him and you?
You don't have a son or a son-in-law, do you?
You…
How could you say like this?
Who taught you to act like that?
Leave here with the child inside
when you finish acting the play.
Don't come to bother us anymore.
You…you…
How could you talk like this?
Who taught you to say this?
What a rude child you're!
Grandma. Grandma.
Don't hit him. Don't hit him.
I'm teaching him a lesson.
He's not well-behaved.
You can talk to him without hitting him.
Father Ling will be distressed when he know it.
He'll feel distressed if I hit him for once.
It seems he hasn't been hit before,
so he's not well-behaved.
He deserves it.
Since he's ill-bred.
He's not.
It's fine. Go inside.
Jianjian.
Grandma, well,
if you wanna talk with him, please talk inside.
You're standing in the rain.
Your…your shoes are getting wet.
Wow, the shoes you wear are new.
Enough. Enough.
What an ill-bred child!
What the hell?
What an annoying old lady!
You're leaving, aren't you?
Shall I call a taxi for you?
No need. I'll go by myself.
Will my brother go with us?
No, he won't.
And you're gonna stay here too today.
You'll stay here.
Since you won't have to go to school tomorrow.
Have fun with your brother.
Behave well.
Sure.
You can't leave her here.
Don't worry.
I won't leave her in your place.
It's none of your business.
If Ling Xiao doesn't take care of her,
he can leave her
in the street.
What?
Nope.
You can't leave the child here.
Hey.
Well,
is the old lady out of her mind?
Who are you?
Li Jianjian.
Why do you call my brother
Brother?
Because he's my brother.
How could it happen?
My mom said
my brother has only one sister, who is me.
She merely gave birth to my brother and me.
Besides,
you don't have the same last name.
Yours is also different from mine.
Then you're supposed
to have the same last name, Qin, as me,
aren't you?
Nope.
Your mother abandoned him in the first place.
There's no relationship between him and you.
Do you know?
You're talking nonsense.
Mom would cry
each time
she thought about my brother.
Mom said
we didn't live together,
but our hearts were connected.
What are you two doing?
Why do you say this to a child?
I'm also a child.
You've been such a big girl…
How could you say…
Where's his grandma?
She's left already.
You know you should come back, don't you?
I think you would have been
flowed away by the heavy rain.
There's so much work in the police station.
You mean…
I won't count on you anymore.
I'd rather call 110.
If I should come here as a policeman,
it would be a lot faster.
I'm going home first.
I haven't finished my homework.
Ziqiu, Jianjian, let's go back.
Brother, where're you going?
Brother.
Brother.
Take umbrellas with you.
They're going home.
I'm here to take you home.
I don't wanna go home. I want my brother.
Brother.
Behave well.
The uncle is a policeman.
If you don't behave well…
Right. Right. Right.
Shall I take you home?
I don't wanna go home. I want my brother.
Brother.
Brother.
You…
You can deal with it as you want.
I want my brother.
All I want is my brother.
How much does the Chinese cabbage cost?
Two yuan for 500 grams.
The price is up.
It's not.
Vegetables are more expensive than they were.
The vegetables sold in town are always expensive.
I can buy one kilogram of it
in our county.
Granny,
we've trimmed it before.
So there're no withered leaves.
Please don't trim it anymore.
If you keep trimming it, there'll be only the flowering cabbage.
The leaves I trim are withered.
It's okay. Weigh it up.
Granny,
someone like you had better
come to buy vegetables
when our stalls are about to be closed.
The vegetables are sold at a cheaper price then.
You're a vegetable seller,
how could you say like that?
You don't allow your guests
to pick and choose your vegetables, do you?
You're looking down upon me.
Have a look at my daughter.
Does she look like anyone who can't afford the vegetables?
I'm telling you
both my daughter and son-in-law
are high-ranking administrators in Singaporean companies.
They drive a Benz when they go out.
They're loaded.
Why do you say these to him?
I'm sorry. She's old.
How much is it?
Two yuan and nine jiao.
Don't give short weight.
Granny, see for yourself.
Does it cost two yuan and nine jiao?
Okay. Okay. I get it.
Okay.
Here you're. Give me the change.
I mean,
you sent Chengzi
to the place of Ling Xiao,
he wouldn't be happy with it.
You have to give him some time
to accept the truth.
Besides, what you've done
won't work.
You sent the child
to the store of Li Haichao
while Ling Heping
sent her back.
You don't get it.
What I intend to do is let Chengzi
stay with her elder brother
and make him get used to it.
The child has been deserted
by you for such a long time.
If you don't take the initiative to communicate with him,
who will break the ice?
But now,
when I meet Ling Xiao,
I have no idea what I should say.
When I meet him,
I even feel
scared.
You got divorced silently.
What did I say in the first place?
You got divorced
and you didn't take care of your child.
You must end up with
regret.
What happens in the end?
I didn't agree
you got married with Ling Heping.
I introduced the colleague
of your elder brother
whose parents did business in Beijing to you.
And he looked mighty.
He did look mighty.
Since he weighed 90 kilograms.
Could you please stop
talking about the past?
Isn't your current son-in-law good?
You were
so lucky
to meet him.
Besides,
stop bothering
Ling Helping all the time.
You don't have your own son, do you?
I know I have my own son.
I do it on purpose.
That I bother him always
is because I wanna keep in touch with Ling Xiao.
You know, Ling Heping
is so kind and honest
that his own son is almost gonna
call Li Haichao father.
But he's
still happy with it.
You can only
count on me
to scheme it for you.
What's up? You don't wanna play basketball, do you?
Yep.
Let's continue.
Nope. What do you mean?
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you actually?
It's not your mother who came to find you.
Why are so perturbed?
Even if I tell you the whole story of our family,
you won't understand it.
Yep. I really don't get it.
The Handsome Ling
is always unique.
Even if he doesn't wanna admit it,
she's his mother anyway.
Qin Meiyang
is his uterine sister anyway.
Is he too hardhearted?
If you don't get to know the whole story,
could you please stop judging it?
I can stop,
but why did you push me?
I make it clear to you that
there're five members in my family in total.
The others don't belong to my family.
Then why do you keep finding your mother
who doesn't belong to your family?
Why I keep finding her is to ask her
why she abandoned me.
And I've to take back the money
belongs to my father.
What if she says
her family was in trouble at that time?
Do you mean your mother would abandon you,
if her family was in trouble?
I mean it.
What if she was
a junkwoman?
Your mother was
a junkwoman.
Is it what I meant?
Hey. Come on. Forget about it. Forget about it.
I'll accompany you to pick up your younger sister.
Let's go have hotpot.
You can go by yourself.
He Ziqiu.
Do you know her?
I'm sorry. I mistake you for someone else.
It doesn't matter.
Who do you mistake her for?
An elder brother.
What?
Nope.
An elder sister.
You scared me to death.
I thought you mistook her
for your mother.
I'm coming.
You hardly remembered the time
when you played basketball.
I happened to meet Qi Mingyue
and her mother.
Her tutoring class has just been over.
The bus is coming.
Let's go.
♫Thinking of the first time that I held your hand,♫
♫you held me so tight as if I was everything to you♫
♫One is getting bigger,♫
♫while the other is getting smaller♫
♫Time brings us♫
♫together in our lives♫
♫Good night♫
♫Goodbye♫
Liberation.
♫My children,♫
L-i-b-e-r-a-t-i-o-n.
♫maybe when you leave here♫
Why do you know a boy of
the twelfth grade?
He's the second brother of Li Jianjian.
L-i-b-e-r…
Didn't you call him He Ziqiu?
He's a cousin of her?
Nope.
It's…
He Ziqiu's mother almost
got married with Li Jianjian's father.
And then…
Well, he's her second brother anyway.
Liberation.
You even know him.
Do you still play with Li Jianjian?
Nope. I'm the monitor.
I've to know something about the family backgrounds
of my classmates.
Qi Mingyue,
you're going through the crucial time.
You've to take study as your priority.
Don't think about anything else.
Mom, what are you talking about?
I'm an experienced person.
When you get admitted to university,
I won't restrict you.
Mom, haven't you always asked me
to stay with those who are good at studying?
Li Jianjian's second brother
ranks top 10 in his class
while her elder brother has ranked first in his grade
since he entered the school.
He must get admitted to Peking University in the future.
Are you serious?
Why do I lie to you about it?
Mom, you're driving.
What an elder lady she is!
She took advantage of her seniority.
She always takes Chengzi
here when she's at leisure.
She's that aged
and she's an elder of us.
We can't kick her out of our place,
can we?
The elder can
do whatever she wants here.
You are not able to figure out a way.
What else can I do
since I'm an outsider?
What are you talking about?
How could you treat yourself
as an outsider?
How come I'm not an outsider?
I'm neither a family nor an outsider.
You're narrow-minded.
Don't worry.
The child himself
knows who's his real family.
We'd better bear it.
It'll only last for a few months.
We can bear it.
But will our children be able to bear it?
Haven't you seen how depressed
Ling Xiao was in these days?
Besides, Ziqiu and Xiaojian
were unhappy.
Right.
But Ling Xiao
has to get used to it, doesn't he?
They're his own mother and grandmother.
And Chengzi
is his half-blood younger sister anyway.
These things can't be changed.
Ling Xiao is too sensitive.
If he can be as unconcerned as Ziqiu,
that'll be great.
Okay.
We'll bear it if you say so.
If the child needs you,
you don't care about him.
When he grows up,
you won't be able to discipline him.
Haichao,
you've cooked so many dishes.
What about not frying the beans?
Why not cook it?
What else can I do?
What I can do is cook dishes.
When children are
unhappy,
a meal prepared by me can make them full
and feel kinda happy.
Why do you stop me from cooking it?
I just wanna cook one more dish.
Why do you stop me?
Cook it. Cook it. Cook it.
You can cook it and I'll continue to peel the beans.
Do it. Do it. Cook the dish.
Hello.
Hello, Mentor.
Does Ling Xiao's grandmother
take his uterine sister
to your place each time?
They not only come but come at the time for dinner.
People who come to our noodle restaurant are our regular guests.
She makes the people of the whole community
know the thing of Chen Ting.
She takes advantage of her seniority, doesn't she?
Doesn't Ling Xiao's father take care of it?
Ho.
Not to mention my Father Ling.
He avoids her faster than anyone else.
Don't marry a man
like my Father Ling.
Not to mention the husband thing,
your elder brother is about to be taken away.
Be taken away?
By whom?
Chengzi.
Is she gonna take your elder brother away?
They are the siblings
who are related by flesh and blood, aren't they?
So what if they're related?
Does it mean there's a magnetic field between them?
They can be connected when they meet?
Haven't you heard about the boring
lifestyle news?
There's always a Xiaoli
who was abandoned
but tries her utmost
to find her biological parents.
When she finds them,
her parents will always complain tearfully
that they were forced to
abandon the child at that time.
But in fact,
they do love the child.
And then Xiaoli and her biological parents
will embrace one another and cry together.
Then they'll bury the hatchet.
My elder brother is named Ling Xiao.
He won't be like Xiaoli.
You don't get my point.
No matter how they were abandoned,
they'd like to find
their biological parents,
which means
consanguinity
is like a spell
that is magical.
What happened to your second brother
is pretty popular.
Generally speaking,
those people will take part in some relative-seeking programs
when they grow up.
My elder brother and second brother
are different from someone else.
Our family will
fight against the outsiders.
Li Jianjian,
I do envy of you.
I also want a brother
who can both be nice to me
and distract
my mother.
Then I'll live
an extremely happy life
instead of being miserable.
I have to attend the tutoring class at weekends.
I'm exhausted.
I don't understand the
pain of a child from an only-child family.
Having a successful second marriage
is awesome, isn't it?
Look at that aged lady,
she's showing off all the time,
carrying that Chengzi.
Ow!
Has she forgotten what happened in those years?
And that Chen Ting,
she was so cruelhearted
that she even abandoned
her own son.
How dare she come back?
When a person gets elder,
he'll know the importance of having his own child.
Not to mention
how well Ling Xiao studies!
He must have good prospects.
It's good for Chen Ting to get divorced.
She also went through a hard time then.
Looking at her husband and son,
she would think of
her late daughter.
She totally went into
a dead end.
If she hadn't got divorced and left,
she would
have died.
She wouldn't have been where she is now.
In my opinion,
only when a person
can live a good life for himself,
he'll be able to be a good person.
Right. How could a beggar
care about others' business?
Even a beggar should
feed his own child, shouldn't he?
Am I right?
Yep.
That's what a mother should do.
Well, it's your turn.
