An Innocent Mistake Episode 1

What's the matter? Are you too tired to walk?
Do you want mommy to carry you?
It looks like we've gone the wrong way.
Qing Xia!
Huh? What?
We've gone the wrong way.
There's nothing wrong about it, isn't it what the old granny said earlier?
We walk straight, turn left, walk straight for five minutes
Then, we’ll see the purple sky signboard in front.
Ah, but we already walked for five minutes multiple times.
Come, come.
Mommy, why are they so unhappy even when they're out playing?
Why would they be happy when a family member dies?
Someone died? Who died?
There's cars!
Move aside! Move aside!
- Qing Xia! Qing Xia! - Qing Xia Ma!
Qing Xia!
Aiyo~Sister!
Are you alright?
I've always felt scared whenever I hear about things related to separation.
Maybe it's because of the year when we were force to separate. That left a scar in my heart.
I'm Zhong Man Qing. As you can see, I have three mothers.
Why?
This story would have to be told by starting from the year the separation happened.
Subbed by the Innocent Team @ Viki
Mother Man Yu is publicly known as the sophisticated beauty.
Normally, she really has an aura of sophistication.
But, as a reminder to you, don't challenge her aura of sophistication. Really.
If you've done anything unfair or traitorous, she'll start [by bad-mouthing] your ancestors
and keep bad-mouthing you for generations, until you have your future great-great-great-great-great son/daughter in law.
Chu Hong Mommy is the cutest and the liveliest.
She's always wailing just a second ago, then laughing out loud the second after that.
I love going out with Chu Hong mommy.
Because firstly, being told that you have a young and beautiful mother makes me proud.
Secondly, even if we come across the most horrid luck, we would still laugh until our bellies hurt.
Mother Qian Xia is the champion of self-deprecation
That self-deprecating sense of humor always makes people feel heartbroken.
She would even advise me by saying
Every person was born with a sense of purpose.
My goal is to get rid of other people's troubles.
So, to help me get rid of my worries, she'll even secretly write my essays for me.
She'd even jump in front of me and take a caning for me!
How scary!
Seeing Flowers' karaoke and dance club.
Close the car door.
Yes, my mothers are what you all call...
Club hostess.
♫ Ah one! Ah two! ♫
Chants: One! Two! Three! Four!
Ten!
Zero!
What's wrong with you? Let's do this again, come!
You're making mistakes in the finger-guessing game!(A kind of popular drinking game.)
Twenty!
Five! Ten!
Aiyo! Alright, you're the best!
Come! 5 pieces.
There's two more...
- Arigato! (Thank you in Japanese) - Let's change to Taiwanese finger-guessing game.
I don't believe I will lose to you.
- Taiwanese finger-guessing game? - Right, faster, come!
Finger-guessing! Three, three, seven, four, six!
Six...
Mr. Ye drinks, Mr.Ye drinks... Mr.Ye continue drinking after you finish.
- No, little Chu Hong... - I'm here!
- Am I not good to you usually? - Good!
Then, how do you dare to ask me to drink when I lose?
Okay! Okay!
I'll take this shot for you. You've always been good to me
This is right, great job!
Waiter, bring one more jar of beer.
Come, come, come, come, make it quick!
Man Yu,
Why don't you smile a little?
Did I owe you money?
Then why don't you tell me a joke to make me laugh?
I came here happily to have some fun!
And yet I still have to tell you jokes?
Are you the one hosting or I'm the one hosting?
Mr. Ye, not smiling is Man Yu's trademark.
You don't know how many people call for her to see her grumpy face.
Those people are crazy!
If I want to see a grumpy face, I will just see the one at home. Why do I have to spend the money to see hers?
Smile a little!
Smile a little, Man Yu! Don't be like that!
Mr. Ye!
If you want to see sister Man Yu smile, I have an idea!
Hey!
Chu Hong! You should tell me earlier if you have an idea!
Fine! You just wait a moment! Waiter!
In a moment, we're guaranteed to make Man Yu laugh until her tears fall.
You'd better be telling the truth!
You should talk it out first,
How do I explain to the guests if you just turned and left? Come on!
Oh please! She did it on purpose!
Mr. Wong called for me! How dare she steal my business
No! Fei Fei and Mr. Wong are already acquaintances. She was just saying hi!
Just saying hi?!
If it was just saying hi, she wouldn't have sat there all day. She even persuaded Mr. Wong to order all of her stage!
Shameless!
Nobody calls for her, so she came to steal my business.
Alright, don't be like this, let's talk it out.
I don't care. Do you want her to stay or me?
Please, I'm begging you okay?
I don't care, I'm Zu Xian! (Stage name taken from famous star Joey Wong)
She's crazy!
Qing Xia!
Why are you staying here so leisurely?
Because I've nothing to do, that's why I'm here!
But it's about time for work to come to me.
I'm telling you, if nobody calls you by the end of today, you don't have to come again next week.
Ms. Qing, someone has called for you.
I'm coming!!
Someone has called for me~
Aiyo! Manager A Di! I still have to report to you this Friday.
Okay, okay! As long as someone calls for you. Congratulations!
Take this, I need to go.
Okay, I'll take it for you.
- I go and earn money! - Work hard!
I'm coming!
If it wasn't for Man Yu and Chu Hong, who will call this piece...
One, two, three, go! The boss in front is very handsome!
You're charming and brave.
You're the No.1 when it comes to spending money.
But you aren't like that when you give me your money to spend.
Boss, you're so handsome! ♫
Why is your body so great?
You look like Andy Lau from afar
the ladies here will drool at your sight.
Boss, boss, don't be afraid,
I'm the popular Lin Qing Xia.
I look strong and brave.
When typhoon comes, I won't be afraid. I will continue walking~
Continue walking~
Clap your hands!
Man Yu is laughing!
Man Yu is smiling!
You look like Andy Lau from afar!
I told you to fake the drinking but you won't listen to me.
If you continue to drink like this, you'll die, your liver will turn hard like a brick.
Stand still.
What's the use of scolding her now?
Here, help her clean up first.
I'll go and bring lemon water.
Come, come, you stand here.
Stand up
So, when you opened the door, you saw her lying on the floor, crying?
Yeah
Are you sure?
Why wouldn't I be?
I just feel that this job is so toilsome,
would it be because of the pressure that...
I know being the feeling of wanting your "kids" to have better lives as a "mother"
But have you ever think, what if the adoptive parent abuses her?
Children will be happier if they follow their maternal mother.
Plus, the government provides various kinds of subsidies, just tell me if you need anything.
There are also some welfare organizations...
If I was the one who gave birth to this girl,
even if I had to sell my blood or myself, I would never abandon her.
I'm just saying "maybe", not definitely
Like these type of people who abandon their kids,
Karma will come back to them in this life, they'll be pigs, dogs or cows in their next life.
No, even a pig or a dog love their children.
These types of people are not human
What I mean is -
I'm telling you, if you find that woman, repeat my words to her.
Sister...
Why are you up so early?
I don't know whether it's a dream or what is it...
I keep on hearing the sounds of baby crying.
I knew it.
What do you know?
You miss that little baby!
Even if you miss her, there's no use.
She has a hard life; that's why she had to be born with such cruel parents.
I thought the three of our lives were already bad enough...
Who knew her life would be even worse than ours?
Maybe not! If her life was really that bad, she wouldn't have met you.
Plus, if it wasn't for you who took her to the police station
she probably would've cried to death by now
So what if I took her to the police station?
Where can they take her afterwards?
The orphanage?
Or get adopted?
Get adopted by what type of people?
Will his adopted parents be good to her? Or...
Or will they be like Qing Xia's stepmother?
Took care of her until she was a teenager, and then sold her to a prostitute ring (???)
But that little baby is so cute!
She probably won't have such bad luck like Qing Xia
She really is cute
When I left the police station, she even smiled at me.
Really?
So cute!
I loved to smile when I was younger too.
I always smiled at my mom
But my mom still hated me for being a burden
She said all her misfortune was because of me
If I ever become a mother in the future,
no matter what happens, I will never give up my child.
I know you'll be a great mother.
You will be too!
The problem is...
What kind of good man will marry our type of women?
That's true...
If my baby has a cruel father, that would be such a misfortune
In this lifetime, we probably won't have a chance to be someone's mother...
Ah! Sister!
Maybe...that baby is God's gift to us??
Gift?
Right?? A gift!!
When I passed by that alley, my stomach started hurting
How can I go to the washroom while holding a baby right, Mr. Policeman?
That's true, then you wouldn't have any hands to take off your pants!
Right! Exactly!
I was thinking my baby is so young, she won't run away, so I just put her down for a second,
Just for a second! Nothing would happen right?
But...
it says here that the witness waited for hours but no one came back for the baby.
Mr. Policeman, I was really busy at the time!
I had to knock on people's doors and ask to borrow the washroom.
And then I still had to find the washroom when I got inside. Aren't I right???
Yeah, yeah!
Okay, fine. Then tell me, who can prove that baby is yours?
That man! He's the baby's father!
The woman beside him, that fat one
she's the one who helped deliver my baby.
Not only does she know how to deliver babies, she sings really well too!
Handsome police, don't be afraid
I'm the popular Lin Qing Xia
I look really strong and brave.
So, you don't have to feel afraid.
Hi! I'm Lin Qing Xia! Hi!
Hi, hi, nice to meet you
You are so handsome!
What she said is all true
I'm the one who delivered her baby
Yeah, yeah, she's very pitiful, you know
She opened her legs, and the baby couldn't come out!
It took so long!!
But I'm very good! I'm seriously very good, I wasn't scared at all
I spread her legs, took the child's head and twist it.
And then wah wah wah, she came out!
Seriously so good!
Till this day, I still don't understand how Mother Chu Hong and Mother Qing Xia, who only went to primary school,
were able to deceive those policemen
Anyway, I don't know starting from where
to the back door of the Jiu family, to the police station
I finally ended up at the home of the three mothers
Because of this, I gained three mothers.
They decided to use extra motherly love to make up for what they never got in their lives
Maybe...because of their lost happiness,
I was gifted this happiness-filled name by the three of them
Zhong Man Qing
Which side is this side? Yeah, that's right!
There's tape you need to open up here
Good girl Xiao Man, let's drink milk okay?
Alright!
- Qing Xia! - Hey, don't be so loud!
Coming, coming!
Coming! The milk is coming!
Did you test the temperature?
Hey! You can't do that!
What? Didn't you ask me to test the temperature?
You have to put some on your hand! You don't even observe from TV shows!
Oh right!
You're really...
I've never been a mother, how would I know?
You guys, faster!
Bye, Man Qing!
In the beginning, they took care of me during the day,
and before going to work at the hotel at night, they would leave me with a babysitter.
Then they would pick me up after work early morning
Ah...
Aiya...
You eat first before feeding!
Okay okay, I'm eating
Mama
Did she just call 'mama'?
I heard it too.
Wen Qing... Good girl! Say "mama"
Ma-ma, Mama
Mama.
Mama!!
My daughter called me mama!!
I know I know! Called me mama!
The three of us have been led by fate all our lives
Only Man Qing is our own choice
Just for her to call us "Mommy".
We must give her the best
We must give it our all to bring her up
Her future must only be filled with happiness and bliss.
She definitely cannot be like the three of us.
Yes! Definitely not!
Not even a little?
At least she can be as beautiful as us!
But what if she look like me?
Right..
Here, Man Qing!
Listen to Mommy Chu Hong,
you have to be as nice and kind as Mommy Qing Xia
As for looks, you'll be as beautiful as Mommy Man Yu, okay?
As for your bust...you have to be like Mommy Chu Hong, okay?
Yeah, yeah, hahaha!
What's the use of being pretty?
Women in this generation have to study hard
so they won't be bullied, and find a good man
So education is the most important.
That's very true.
But she's only one now, isn't it too early to talk about this?
Have you never heard? Your whole life is set at three years old
Yes, I have! I've heard of that!
But our abnormal lifestyle like this...
she will eventually follow the same lifestyle as us
We should change her life. Let her have a normal education.
What can we do?
Easy! One of us can resign,
and focus on taking care of Man Qing.
Right! One of us can resign!
Then who will resign?
Me?
Me???
That's great!!!
No one calls for me anyway!
So, Mother Qing Xia became my full time mother,
She cooked meals for me, washed my clothes, gave me baths, combed my hair,
and even took me to take my shots.
Time really passed by fast
In the blink of eye, I turned 8.
It feels so great to have a daughter.
This must be karma!
That fall made me feel so painful from my butt to my thighs.
Then what bad thing did Mommy Qing Xia do?
Because I spoke nonsense
Didn't Mommy Man Yu say,
you can eat the wrong food, but you can't say the wrong things.
If you don't know what to say, then you need to stay quiet.
Don't say the word "dead" when someone passed away in a family.
Because, the dead is above all.
So we must speak with more thought.
How?
Words like...Ah Li Tuo Fu..
Amen...
The most important thing is
that family is very pitiful.
You see
We only saw the daddy and the little boy right?
We didn't see the mommy,
so the one who died
is the mommy.
You have to say Ah Mi Tuo Fo!
Right!!
The person who "Ah Mi Tuo Fo'ed" is his mommy.
The mommy of the little boy who was in the car?
Probably.
Then, what happens to ge ge after he loses his mom? (Ge Ge means older brother)
Right...
Who will cook for him?
Who will help him shower?
Who will sleep by his side at night?
So at this moment, an evil woman appears.
Evil woman?
Right!
His mom died, so his dad is very sad.
But this evil woman thinks that they're very rich.
So, she will try to use any ways to get married to that ge ge's daddy. (Ge Ge means older brother)
- Careful. - It's okay, I can handle myself.
Okay.
Lie down for a while, you'll feel better.
Come.
Why are you still not sleeping?
It's thundering outside.
I...I want to sleep with daddy.
Yu En, how old are you this year?
Almost 12 years old.
12 years old is already a big kid.
How could you still be so unreasonable?
You should know that daddy is in a very bad mood.
Because of mommy's death...
Daddy is so sad that he haven't sleep or eat for the past few days.
Just now, he drank some alcohol and fell asleep.
Yu En definitely won't be so inconsiderate to wake him up right?
Poor Yu En, you already lost your mom.
If...you still don't learn how to be considerate to others...
Most probably, you'll even lose your dad too.
So, just go back to sleep now.
There, you're such a good boy.
That woman must be very scheming.
On the front, she says it's for ge ge and daddy's own good.
Actually she's just afraid that ge ge will be too close with his dad.
It will ruin her plan to steal their family's property.
You call this kind of awful woman a fake woman!
Mommy!
So, that poor little boy already loses his mommy.
He's also very afraid to lose his daddy.
So, he's so pitiful when he sleeps at night.
He hides himself alone in his blanket and cries until daylight.
There's no other kids that want to play with him, so he...
- What's wrong with you? - Qing Xia mommy...
Please don't die.
You absolutely cannot die.
Aiyo~Everyone will die in the end.
Cannot!
Alright, alright, alright...
Qing Xia mommy promise you.
Qing Xia mommy will never ever die.
The evil woman tells ge ge...
Your dad don't want you anymore.
Ge ge cries after hearing that.
A lot of pink tears keep on rolling down.
Tears roll down onto the table, and then roll onto...
the ground.
It's filled with tears.
Fuck it!
Who parks the motorbike anyhow in the corner?
Fuck it!
Be careful! I will poke the tire at night.
What?
What's wrong?
Hence, after the "Fuck it" incident.
Three moms decided to re-arrange the responsibilities.
In the end, upon the insistence of the most sophisticated one, Man Yu mommy, she quit her club job.
She became the "full-time mom" that is responsible for educating me.
The god of spring came, but who knows that...
Plum blossoms and the yellow orioles came..
You see, you see, those envious gazes are the pride of my little soul.
Especially when people says that I inherited Qing Xia mommy's bright personality.
The cuteness of Chu Hong mommy and the sophistication and the beauty of Man Yu mommy.
Then, I will feel that I'm the happiest kid in the earth.
But the happiest kid still have a question...
Daddy, I can't see.
You can't see? There's so many...
There's some more.
Did you see? Man Qing, did you see?
Come, spread your legs. 1, 2, 3!
Okay, coming up!
- Did you see over there? - Yes!
Did you see? Isn't it very big?
Hey, there's one more in front. It's so big!
There, there, you see!
Mommy!
How should I write for the topic "My daddy"?
Daddy...?
Daddy has a pair of very big hands.
Thick shoulder.
Very tall and also has a tall nose bridge.
My daddy has a pair of very big hands.
He likes to hold my hands and bring me to school.
He has a thick shoulder and he's very tall.
So, he's able to protect me and my three moms.
I really like to pinch his big nose.
Then, he won't be able to breathe.
Suddenly, he dies...
In the end, that "My daddy" essay is ridiculed by all of my classmates.
That night, the frustrated me cries and hides the essay that nobody understands into my treasure box.
And then, I told myself.
You're a child without a father.
Yes, I don't have a father.
But I still have a happy and full life
Because I have the three greatest moms.
Even though they are not blood related to me.
But, they're the greatest gifts in my life.
This is the story that I, Zhong Man Qing accumulated for 18 years of my life.
- And I believe that the future story will be even more splendid and glorious. - Great!
Dear students, do you know why teacher wants Man Qing to read her essay to everyone?
Aside from the smooth flow of the whole essay.
And also the true emotions in it, there's still another reason.
That's because most of the students in the class have a complete family.
But Man Qing is a bit different.
- Even though she was born in a single parent family. - Teacher!
Zhong Man Qing does not have a single parent, it's triple parents!
Yes, Man Qing grew up in such a special family.
But she never complains about what she does not have.
Instead, she cherishes what she have even more.
So, teacher wishes all students to be able to learn from Man Qing's optimism.
Her positivity, the way how she knows how to cherish things and be grateful.
Zhang Wei Wei, what opinion do you have?
I think teacher have double-standards.
Based on what teacher says...
A normal, complete and happy family is a sin.
So our positivity, optimism and progress is a must.
But as long as those who have an unfortunate family have a bit of good points.
They're the type that grow up from the filthy mud without being polluted so they're rare.
I can't help to think that teacher's theory means that...
We should go back and blame our parents and ask them why are we so outstanding?
Complain about my happy and complete family?
Zhang Wei Wei, it seems that you don't understand what teacher means.
There's nothing wrong with your happiness.
Teacher is just worried that you guys take this kind of perfection that you're born with for granted.
So, I just want to remind all of you to learn from Man Qing to be grateful and cherish your happiness.
And don't waste or be ungrateful to everything that god has given to you
Great!
You didn't see Zhang Wei Wei's face, it's so green! It feels so great!
How could you still not understand past tense and past perfect tense?
I already taught you 100 times.
I really hate foreigners.
What past perfect tense, present perfect tense? It's so strange!
Don't find excuses for your laziness.
I'm not.
You are.
Hey, Man Qing! I'll tell you a secret.
Do you know who does Zhang Wei Wei likes?
You can't even take care of yourself, why do you care who others like? Can you be more serious?
Aiyo!
This one, read it!
In the end, mommy, do you know...
After I finished reading, the whole class was ringing of thunderous applauses.
Teacher Chen even asked me to submit that essay to the school's magazine.
Really?
And then...that Zhang Wei Wei from my class.
The Zhang Wei Wei who always think highly of herself and always look down upon others.
The moment she hears teacher compliments me, she was so jealous!
She even started arguing with teacher!
- Idiot! - The students nowadays are really...
Really too much, how could she even dare to argue with teacher? She should listen to what teacher says.
She's just jealous.
Then, is Teacher Chen angry?
No, Teacher Chen is such a nice person.
She always encourage us to express our opinions so she just reasons with Zhang Wei Wei.
A Jing says that Zhang Wei Wei's face turned green after hearing what teacher says.
I'll see how she dares to be so arrogant in front of me in the future.
You look at yourself now! Getting too carried away with your success.
What's the difference with that Zhang Wei Wei in your class?
I just don't like seeing how she's always so high and mighty everyday.
It's really annoying!
So what? Why is it any of your business?
You're so straightforward.
Scheming for what? Why do you mind about other's business? You're no match for her.
People should rely on their abilities.
I won't play with her those kind of petty and cunning games.
That's right.
You just have to study hard, don't compete with your classmates.
There's still a long way to go in your life.
Take the longer view. Even if you win now, it's not really called winning.
Then what is called winning?
If you win against fate, then it's really winning.
Hello?
Hello? You called the wrong number.
- I'm home. - Morning, mom!
Morning...
Chu Hong mommy is not back yet?
Not yet.
So tired.
- Today, you're No.1 - I'm No.1?
I'm so happy.
I really have a good life.
I don't have to endure the stomach pain but god gave me such a filial daughter.
There's even nutritious sandwich for me to eat.
So delicious, so nutritious.
There's even nutritious milk.
Man Qing! Come!
Use it for yourself.
Did you meet a nice customer today?
It's just some higher-ups from a bank.
They are so generous with their tips.
They even brought ladies from outside.
There's one very pretty lady, she really look like a movie star.
It turns out that she's really a movie star. What is she called? What is it...?
I forgot.
And then?
And then "that thing" came, she asked me to buy sanitary pads for her.
Then she gave me $1000 and told me to keep the change.
So good?
Maybe she's afraid that I will badmouth her in front of reporters.
