Chronicle of a Blood Merchant
You don't look good today.
Could you give me a watermelon to eat?
Do not even think.
Do you know how much watermelon costs?
Why don't we share it?
What type of person are you?
She come here every morning to harvest watermelon.
Eat first before you continue.
She has arrived.
Welcome.
Hello.
This is sweet potato
..and this is our family special vegetable.
Guai Fa, are you really getting married soon?
Marry, what marry?
We broke off the engagement.
Why so sudden?
Of course there is a reason.
Please don't joke about this.
Please tell us more.
I invited him to dinner at our house
I am very happy if he can eat two bowls of rice
If he can eat three bowls of rice
Our Guai Fa could marry him straight away
Unfortunately, he can only finish a bowl of rice
and didn't want another bowl.
Maybe he didn't have a good appetite.
or probably your food wasn't delicious enough
I found it strange, so we asked someone.
We found out that this guy never went to town to sell any blood.
This can explain the problem with him
Certainly
Mom let's go.
There is no point telling the story
Pitiful
This guy is hopeless..
Anyway, I got to go
Well, take care
Today, send these watermelon to the market to sell
Okay, i will get it done right away
Thanks for your effort
We got to go now
Let's go.
Guai Fa is really a nice girl.
She has grown very well.
Uncle.
Why cancel the engagement just because of the blood.
Is it really so important?
If it is Important, then it is important
If it's not important, it is not really important.
Any healthy person will go to town to sell some blood
Whether a person is healthy or not,
we can tell when they sell their blood.
Grandpa said that there is compensation for selling blood
Well, it is also a good health check
to ensure the person is healthy
Can I try?
Here take it, share it out with others
I want too, i want too
Make way, make way
Let's put it down
Guys, it is rest time
Let's continue after lunch
Go eat
Time to eat, come down
It is tough to carry two piece of bricks
Three piece actually
I can see there are three piece... now time to rest.
I know.
Why are you working so hard?
It's too hot
I might not have the energy under the heat
I think you have no where to release your energy.
You need a woman
It will be more tired if i have a woman
Sam Gwan, check out the the girl over there
Barley drink for sale.
- Nice cool Barley drink - she looks young in her twenties
If she could gain some weight, it will be much better
Will it be difficult to get her?
depends who is courting her
You better shut up.
Don't be so choosy, you are lucky if you can have her
I think she is cool.
Do you want some barley drink?
No, thanks.
Do you want it?
No, maybe next time
She is trying to get our attention.
Are you interested in her meat or the drinks she sells?
Please buy popcorn.
Please buy the popcorn.
Check this out..man.. Yeah.
Please buy the popcorn.
Hello.
Please buy the popcorn.
It is delicious
Please buy the popcorn.
Yuk Fang is coming, pretty gal
Please buy the popcorn.
Bring the popcorn over here..here
We want the popcorn.
Pretty lady and the popcorn
Popcorn popcorn.
Look at those guys
Thanks god, we are able to see her today
Let's buy some from her
Miss Yuk Fang, please....
Miss Yuk Fang, you are really beautiful.
Miss Yuk Fang, come here
Thank you.
Miss....don't leave
Get up guys I get up too
We want it, we want popcorn.
We want popcorn.
It is good that you came here, Fuk Fang
We haven't ate - Just waiting for you
- Really? - Yes really.
Please take it my dear
Popcorn is delicious with pretty seller.
Yuk Fang
I dreamed of you every night
Want to try it?
How much?
Let you try it out first
Why show the dirty hand in front of her?
₩100
What?
Just eat it, on the house.
Take care my lady
She is really nice
Sam Gwan, why are you so shy?
What? Do i look shy?
Everybody saw your face turning red and sweating.
You saliva kept on drooling
Anyway, what we can do now?
She already has a boyfriend.
That's her boyfriend over there
You are here
Look, you are sweating.
Wipe it off.
Over there. That guy wearing a white jacket.
What is his background?
Our hope has been destroyed
She has become prettier ever since the relationship with that guy
We heard that Yuk Fang has indebtedness to him
The American guy has helped her a lot
Because of benefits
Of course there are benefits.
Why every girl is attracted to rich guys like him?
He has been fooling around with many women
Yuk Fang's father said that she is ripe for marriage
Really?
Sam Gwan
Your age are now overdue for marriage too.
Today, I have noticed that the girl kept staring at him.
I saw that too.
That's correct, you also felt that she was staring at me?
Correct, she kept on staring at you.
Barley drink
Sell barley drink
Barley seller?
I really don't care.
How can you not bother?
You don't even have a family, should quickly find a woman to settle down
Please buy popcorn.
You are very strange today.
Uncle, I want to get marry
Well, then go ahead.
But, do you have enough money for that?
I don't have a lot of money now
Uncle, you think that i can earn a lot of money by selling blood?
Who knows?
I can't really earn much by working here
Selling blood can indeed earn much more than a farmer
Why..... do you really want to sell blood?
Yes, I would like to sell blood.
Money first before marriage
Yes, well you certainly have no problem selling blood.
But, how and where can I sell blood?
I don't know.
Just go ask Fang Ji.
You cannot sell blood just like that
Many procedures to follow and those with poor health will be rejected.
Thus, one must do body check up first
Depends on whether you have enough good quality blood to sell
How about me?
Looks good, probably can sell a lot of blood
How much money can i sell?
₩1000 for each bottle.
Almost same price as beef.
That's about one month of my salary
Need to do body check up before selling blood?
- Yes - The blood will be given to the hospital use.
That blood will be sent to the hospital.
I see
What is inside your bag?
Watermelon.
Gonna to let go very soon
As a gift to the doctor
That person is responsible for the blood screening..
..and to decide whether the person is successful or not
Lawfully, one can only sell his blood once in every 3 months
There is only one way to bypass the rules...
... you have to give them benefits or gifts.
That's how i can sell a lot of blood when compared to others
This gift is a social gesture and importance
Giving gifts will help you succeed in making money
Guess, I will not stop selling blood until i am dead.
He never refuses my blood
The secret of our success in selling blood ..... is this watermelon.
Min Loong, let's drink water
Yeah, drink water.
Why suddenly need to drink water?
One must drink plenty of water before blood extraction.
The body will be filled with full of water and blood
In this way, we can sell more blood,
I want to drink too.
Good fresh water.
Take clean water in the middle level because top and bottom level, water is very dirty.
How much should drink?
About eight cups.
Eight cups?
Until your bladder is full
Make sure you drink fast until you cannot take it
Let's drink.
Keep drinking.
Bottoms up
Continue drinking
This process can't be stopped, keep drinking
Continue to drink.
Don't stop, don't stop
It is here
Let's go inside
Come in
Hey, what's wrong? Quickly come.
Hey!! Hey!!
What are you trying to do?
Pee.
Oh my god
I am holding back hard too. Didn't you see my face turned red.
Next step..
...need to drink tap water
Why?
What is the taste of our blood?
Fresh
Blood must taste fresh
I can't stand it now
Hold back.
I also feel uncomfortable.
Didn't you see my face has turned white right now?
Not really
That's good.
You need to hold back your pee.
You can't give up at the final stage
Let's drink more water, okay?
Start.
Come in
Doctor, we have arrived.
Doctor
How much water have you drank this time?
Just three cups
You think I do not know that you guys came here with full bladder capacity.
At least 10 cups, right?
Who is he?
This is the first time i've seen him
He is...our neighbor's brother from the village
Today is his first time here.
Hello.
And..
..this time as usual
... this watermelon is fresh and just picked this morning.
This one is from me.
Send them to blood room.
Please follow me.
Doctor, how much blood are you gonna extract this time?
Today is my father's birthday
Should've told us earlier
Two bottles is enough
More than that could endanger your life
Of course.
In fact, the amount is more than normal
But just because we are extremely healthy
Doctor will allow us to sell more
Am i right, doctor?
We respect you very much, doctor
Really respect you.
Then, give them three bottles.
Could you stop making that sound?
Ming Loong, if you don't mind please check whether i had a pee accident
Don't move, don't move
So hungry and thirsty
Blood sausage is very good for health
and it is much better to take liquor with foods
Thus, one must eat blood sausage immediately after the process
Feeling like blood is replenished
So amazing, like our body's back to original state.
Yeah...yeah
But I have a question uncle.
How do you get a woman's heart?
Is she pretty?
Extremely beautiful
And the problem is...?
She has a boyfriend
She already has a boyfriend and she looks really pretty, right?
Pretty woman is really hard to handle
Really? really?..... The main point ain't that boyfriend
Are you really serious and want to marry her?
- Ah - Sure?
I've already told you clearly.
In that case, you already got her.
The most important thing is your heart and sincerity
First, go directly to her house and tell her of your intention
How to do this?
Give everything that you have to her
I have been single till now because i am not willing to do this
Who are you?
Hi, my name is San Xu Guan. Bing Chun is my friend
You are Miss Yuk Fang, right?
Yes I am
Ah, I think i remember who you are
What's up?
This is actually a bit sudden
Miss, i would like to invite you to eat buns.
Are you willing to go eat buns with me now?
Why?
I still remember the last time you gave me some free popcorn
Therefore, now you want to pay me back
There is no free lunch in this world. Well, I can't be the exception.
But I think your offer is not exciting
Then, forget about the buns. Let's go for something that you like to eat.
Change your clothes and come out now
My belly is quite full now
Ah.. now it's after dinner time. I should have come earlier
Don't do that, that's my plants
I'm sorry.
How about tomorrow?
Buy me buns tomorrow seems not a bad idea
I feel like having buns tomorrow
Yuk Fang, let me buy you this
What?
You are so kind
It smells good
Do you like pork?
Get me a big piece one
Half piece should be enough
No cut, should be in one nice piece
Cotton candy
Yuk Fang, let's get some cotton candy
Wow
This must be very sweet.
Eat slowly
Yuk Fang!! ouchhhh!!
That's so close
That's oxcart. Do you like oxcart?
Wow, bun.
Give me a Naengmyeon (cold noodle)
Wow..Naengmyeon (cold noodle)
Beef barbecue
Wow...beef barbecue.
Wow.. so full
Yuk Fang, let's try out the perfume
I want to try it at home.
No, let's see. Please try it now
It smells not bad
Yes.
Yuk Fang, let's get down to business
What?
What you have eaten today..
Naengmyeon (cold noodle) ₩200.... Buns ₩200....... ₩400 for beef barbecue.
That piece of pork and cotton candy.
...perfume plus the coffee, all add up to a total of ₩2000
So, when are you going to marry me?
What did you say?
When will you marry me?
Can't believe this
Please give me some water.
Yes
I 'm asking...
Why should I marry you?
Because today I have spent more than ₩2,000 on you
Take back the perfumes and the pork
No, no you keep.
I'll pay you back the ₩2,000
you didn't tell me that after the meal i need to marry you.
Here is it
Yuk Fang, why don't you want to marry me?
I'll buy you delicious food each day
I wouldn't eat anything if i knew that i need to marry you
Even if we are married, the costs of eating will be beared by me
How can i eat when I'm stressed?
In order to avoid such thinking
I will work hard in order to buy you delicious food everyday
I can't marry you.
I already have a boyfriend. He is He Xiao Yoong
Naughty kids.... so noisy
Hello uncle
Who are you?
Uncle, this is for you
You bought pork?
Yes.
I am the best friend of the late Bing Zhong
I am Xu Sanguan.
In that case, I will accept this
Yes, thank you uncle.
I guess you knew my grandfather.
He died early
He was formerly a private school teacher in the village.
My dad was a famous carpenter
I knew that person
He had great skills
Yes.
so?
Then I inherited my dad's craft.
While my parents died early.
I've lived together with my grandpa and learn the true meaning of life
And?
But I heard that your daughter is going to marry He Xiao Yoong.
That's right.
If you don't stop the marriage, bad things will happen
What did you say?
He Xiao Yoong is capable and a healthy person
He has some problem
What are you trying to say?
Bad news about him circulating in the village
Ha So Yong had cheated many girls by promising marriage
Flirting with many women and a notorious sex cheater
..and Bing Zhong will not allow this marriage if he is still alive
Do not ever mention Bing Zhong to me.
I'm sorry, uncle
I will not mention his name again
Uncle, allow me to say something
If you let your only child, Yuk Fang marry him
Your "Zhong" family generation could be lost
But if she is to marry me, the child will bear the same surname as me "Xu"
A continuation and preservation of "Xu" line
Besides, i will be your successor and able to continue your popcorn business which you have worked for over 30 years
In a nutshell, i could be your "son"
Uncle
This is all i have now, my life savings
Please pass to Yuk Fang for safekeeping.
If you are willing, I, Xu Sanguan
will promise that to take care of you like my own father
Why we never met since you were closed friend with Bing Zhong?
Probably I have changed so much that you can't remember me.
Hmm...that's possible.
Nowadays, it is rare and difficult to meet an honest person like you
Like father like son indeed.
I can accept the alcohol and tobacco
But take this back
No uncle.
Quickly keep it.
Now, you look familiar
Yuk Fang!
Go inform He Xiaoyong that you are going to marry
..and the groom is not him
..but a guy sitting right here, Xu Sanguan
Thank you uncle.
Dad.
Then, how about He Xiao Yoong?
If he can't take it and hit his head against the wall
What i'm going to do?
What?
If he is really dead cuz ..
... hit his head against the wall
then.. i really can' help it
Do you really want to see me hit my head against the wall?
No.
I knew it.
Is it all because of money?
Is it because of our marriage?
He want our future child to have the surnamed "Xu"?
That is ridiculous.
If that's the case, I have to marry Xu Sanguan
What?
I am beautiful and talented
..and you are such a lucky guy
Of course.
I will do the housekeeping except those heavy stuffs.
..and rest during holidays
Then, you will need to take care of all
What holiday?
Don't you know which holiday i celebrate?
I have no idea.
Menstruation.
Opps.
Good.
Hey, i am going to take photograph now.
Sam Gwan, why still so shy until your ears are red?
Kiss, kiss
How can they kiss in such day light?
Too scattered, move closer.
People at back row, move back a bit.
What is this? Just snap it.
Move back a little bit
I won't come again for this shit!!
What? What's the problem?
Can't you adjust your camera?
I think not the camera, it is the skill.
Feel so frustrated .... this is shit.
Who mention bad words on this special day?
Look at the camera. One....Two...Three.
11 Years Later, 1964
First happiness.
Yes.
Please help mum get the broom
No, I am helping Dad now.
Second happiness, bring me the broom
Mom, I'll get it for you.
Third Happiness. No.
Why?
Hey, why don't you go outside.
What is this?
Mom, the broom.
Thanks, good boy.
Dad, could I help you with anything?
No need, it is a big help if you just look and stand there.
Really?
Of course.
Dad, are you tired? How about a glass of water?
No, you go ahead, just hold the ladder tight
Okay.
Go away. Don't need your help.
No, I want to help too.
Just go away.
First Happiness, just let him help you.
First happiness, pass this to your father.
Dad, your gloves.
I don't need it, you wear it.
Give it to me.
Second happiness, don't you think my skirt is nice?
A gift from your father.
Your fat aunt said i look horrible wearing this on my body.
This skirt is best fit for you. Looks good on you, mum.
That's my good son.
Dad, I hate seeing Mum chatting with other women.
Woman always gossip so much about who is beautiful..
... nice cloths etc
But for men, always about facts of life.
Who has died, or who has money.... etc
Third happiness, behave yourself.
Don't want to.
Third happiness, what are you doing?
What if Dad falls off from here?
Get your hands off.
First happiness, what is wrong with this Third happiness?
Your ear looks like me and Second happiness's teeth looks just like mom.
How about Third happiness?
When Sam Gwan's son laugh, he looks like He Xiao Yoong
This guy just believe the rumor.
Hey, what are you talking about?
According to their neighbors, he is probably the son of Ha So Yong.
Besides the eyes, the nose, mouth, ears and eyebrows looks like Ha So Yong.
Sam Gwan was able to marry Yuk Fang after he sold his blood.
Probably, it happened before that.
So, according to you guys, Sam Gwan has raised other people's child?
Uncle, Yuk Fang had a relationship with Ha So Yong many years ago.
This is total ridiculous.
Dad, this is your breakfast.
That's my First happiness.
Sit.
Everybody is talking about what a filial face looks like.
In my opionion, first happiness is filial
That's right
No need, I'll eat at home
This is also filial
Dad, can you give me this next time?
Of course, let's see you wear it.
ok
Dad, when I came, I heard
everybody say I look like Ha So Yong
Who said?
Alot of people are saying it.
Today is not the first time I had heard it.
Who is Ha So Yong?
That one is Ha So Yong's home.
A proud and petty man.
that Ha So Yong
Courted your mother before.
but your mum ignored him
Do you know what that meant? - I do.
Because she was in love with your dad.
Your mum did not look at anyone else except your dad
So one day, your mum suddenly wanted to get married.
But your dad wasn't ready yet
Your mum said she didn't want anything
She cried and pleaded, saying she only wants to live a married life with me.
So that's how we got married.
Why, the weather has changed.
First happiness, you leave first. - ok
Hello, welcome
First happiness, choose whatever you want to eat.
This
Good, first happiness.
About the rumours,
They are spread by those who are jeoleous
of mum and dad. Think like that.
Understand? - Understand.
Louder, understand?
Please give me one.
How much aunt? Please wait.
There's a letter. Hello
New? yes.
The letter did not get wet. Thanks
Thanks for your effort, please leave safely
How much aunty? -$10
Give this directly to your dad.
Weather like this can kill.
Dad. -Yeah?
To Ha So Yong
This crazy man
Anything wrong?
I came to get dad's blood report
Everyone come.
Let's confirm whether San is really first happiness's dad.
Go, first happiness
Dad will buy buns to eat.
Yeah, go buy buns to eat. Good.
Doesn't it just take one hour for the report?
It's here
Sorry for the wait
We will find out soon
first happiness, thanks for the effort, here.
let's see
That bastard, Ha So Yong's blood type is B, mine is O
Yuk fang is A
So my son is either A or O
If it's B, then he is Ha So Yong's.
I don't really understand because blood type is complex.
But I want to clarify the issue
so that the rumours can stop.
Don't get confused.
Listen, If there is B, then he's Ha So Yong's son.
So it cannot be B.
Blood report. Name: Xu first happiness.
Blood type is
What is it?
First happiness's blood type is
AB
Not san's son.
It's Ha So Yong real son.
How can this be?
What?
First happiness's blood type
Why does first happiness have Ha So Yong's blood?
What are you talking about?
I'm asking why does first happiness have Ha So Yong's blood?
Why are you yelling?
My ears are still very good.
Ha So Yong's blood? What do you mean by that?
So ridiculous!
Where are you going?
You had to make trouble about it.
Answer me honestly
What? Sticky beak? Nice to watch?
What did I do wrong in my past life to live with a prick like you?
You come here, get into the house.
Explain in the house
I did not remarry nor did I have an affair
I have 3 children with the same man
As if it's the truth.
I have nothing to do with Ha So Yong
I don't want to make this into a bigger problem
let's be honest today, sit down
Sit down
Have you ever slept with Ha So Yong?
Answer, did you sleep with him?
yes
How many times?
Only once.
So there is something going on
and you said you never had an affair
I did not have an affair
Ha So Yong pinned me to the wall
then dragged me onto the bed. - Ok enough.
You couldn't push him away?
You couldn't bite him or kicked him?
I pushed and I kicked.
But after he pushed me against the wall,
He had both hands on my breast. - ah ah argh
That bastard.
So that dog bastard touched your breast.
What happened next? Fell asleep? Quickly answer.
No need to say anymore
Say it.
What happened after that bastard touched your breast?
After he touched my breast,
my strength slowly drained away
so you quietly slept with him?
Because I had no more fighting strength.
he then dragged me onto the bed.
grabbed my arms
came down to my ears, - Stop!
That bastard
So that was the root of first happiness's disaster.
I remember
on our wedding night
you put out the light I lit
coz it wasn't your first time and you didn't want me to know
it's not like that
It was because I was shy
be careful of what you say
11 years already, 11 years
I raised some bastard's son for 11 years without knowing it.
Kids
Is your father Ha So Yong?
Are we from the same mother but different father?
What are you talking about? I don't know
Dad
Who are you?
Hello, dad.
What's is this about?
That kid is the rumoured child.
so why are you here? What do you want to say?
What do you want to say?
How are you?
Not one bit fine.
Ok, I know
Isn't my dad here?
No, he's not here, where is your father?
Go,
Wait, don't panic.
I will leave.
I just want to say "dad" three times.
Dad, Dad, Dad
What? This kid.
Honey, Can you help me carry this urn?
I'm sleeping.
Mum, I'll do it
Honey, can you help me with this quilt?
It's too big.
Just rest on it.
I was planning to go to sleep, How can I help?
Mum, I'll do it
Dad, what's wrong?
Go away
Mum, Dad's crying.
In the middle,
hey, third happiness, it hit me.
So?
you come over, ay ya, -stop, -don't hit
I will tell my brothers to come, I have two big brothers.
You're dead meat if my big brother's here.
You think only you have brothers?
I have two big brothers too.
You're the dead meat when my brother comes.
Brother
Brother, Brother
What is it? so noisy.
I had a fight with someone
Quickly come help me.
Who did you fight with?
I don't know that guy,
How did the fight go?
I got hit.
If brother goes, I will win.
Ok, let's go.
lead the way
So you had a fight with my brother?
I did not fight with your brother.
It's my little brother who had the fight with your brother.
I'll treat it as if it's you who hit my brother.
Come here.
Wait
Let's talk
It was your brother who started first.
Then it was returned.
Big brother, first happiness.
Xu yi lok (first happiness)
Stupid
Like this?
Yes
You made me wait a long time, first happiness.
If you dare touch my brothers again,
I will not let you off so easily.
Let's go home.
Brother, are you okay?
The kids were fighting and it
caused a bit too much problem
Althought I had 11 years of friendship
with the boy's father
I couldn't resolve it.
If there is no money, just go and sell blood again.
The cost is too much.
Including medical expenses,
it comes to $5000
Really, this is really painful. Interesting.
But big brother,
I don't have anything to do with the problem
Althought I'm resentful, you know
I only have two sons
Go ask Ha So Yong's help.
First happiness's father needs to take responsibility?
part responsibility or all of the responsibility?
Of course all.
Let's reason
I've been a fool for 11 years
raising his son,
and still I have to pay for medical expenses on his behalf?
Am I some king?
Come and have a look at the family registry.
Is first happiness's surname there?
Xu is not my family name.
That uncle should fork out the medical expenses.
ok?
Please go home.
San
Hello everybody.
This
Sorry
This is not going to work, please understand.
Understand, please go.
Please go.
Except my things,
you can take anything that is convienent.
Right, fan, take it.
Good, really good.
Brother, that is not Yok fang's, it's mine.
Really, take it away
I say
all this things
I will help you sell them.
until there is enough money
to pay for the medical expense.
I Will return the rest to you.
Go ahead, go ahead.
That won't do, please put it down.
Move, brat, out of the way.
Dad, mum's stuff been taken.
Tell them not to.
This little bastard
where is your dad?
You asshole, why are you abusing first happiness?
Bastard?
Are you still human?
Ha So Yong.
Ha So Yong
What's happening?
Long time no see, Ha So Yong
Have your style changed for the better?
What do you want?
It was hard for my husband to raise your son
I've come to talk about this.
What are you talking about?
Don't understand a word.
My husband raised your son for 11 years, you don't have to compensate for food and clothes.
But you have to pay for the medical expenses.
What has that got to do with me?
Your son smashed the other kid's head.
I have no son, only two daughters. He mei zi and He sui zi.
Is that so?
You cheating bastard
don't you remember that summer?
You raped me when my dad went to the toilet. Cheater.
You shut up.
Why are you mentioning the past?
Why have you come to see me after doing what you did?
Go and take a look at first happiness's face.
His eyebrows are exactly like yours.
Go pay the money.
Really
Dad! - what money?
mei zi, sui zi
When all dressed up,
Her features are not bad but how come she looks like a fox vixen?
Fox vixen.
I can seduce any other husbands, but certainly not yours.
Maybe you don't know.
I dumped your husband.
After I dumped him, you worked hard to chase him.
Oh my god. Why is there such a shameless woman?
Was it tiring giving birth to someone else's son?
Of course it's tiring after 3 children.
So it's not tiring if it is not three sons?
Are both of those girls yours?
What are you implying?
Only ignorant women like you can be tricked by men.
Really? So you think you are not ignorant?
Looks like wu jingyu's smell hasn't dissapated from this house.
Wu jingyu (implying a mistress)
Who is wu jingyu?

Oh no! big problem
Your wife and Ha So Yong's wife.

But what happened to your legs?
It's wooden
I fell into a pit
Aigoo
A sewage pit?
I'm eating
No, it's not
That's good.
Your wife,
I often see her in the market
She already has three kids
Not only is she pretty but
her figure is as when she was young.
Every body says she is smart and nimble
Talking about beautiful, you are more beautiful than her.
Huhh?
In truth
I originally wanted to marry you
If I did, then I wouldn't have been a fool for 11 years.
What fool?
ha ha ha, nothing.
ha ha ha fool
ah aigoo.
ha ha ha -
Thank you
- nothing - really
Come in to sit
hey, wait, come come come
Aigoo
Oh, this house has security.
You are so quiet, your home has a sense of peace,
You're much better than my wife who screams and creats trouble in front of the neighbours.
she should be gentle like you.
Come and sit for a while before you go.
What should I get for you?
No need, No need.
Oh, I should have bought that rice roll
No, I should be buying it.
I almost ate it all.
Don't stand, come sit here.
Go away
I told you not to be like this
Oh, it tai man
I'll draw for you
Don't move.
Oh, you brat.
What are you doing here?
Waiting for you, dad.
How did you know I was here?
I followed you the whole day
Dad
Can you forgive me?
What's there to forgive?
First happiness
Yes
From now on, whenever we are together alone,
Don't call me dad, call me uncle.
What?
Why?
This way, we can live together.
huh?
Yes
But
You can call me dad in front of mum and the neighbours.
Then you can forgive me?
You have to first listen to uncle.
You, if you had solved this earlier,
then we wouldn't have to move these here and there
You have a solution only when cornered.
People just find a way only when cornered
Hey, hold tight
Yes, uncle.
Ah
Haa
What is this?
Try it
I'm asking, what's going on?
Of course, I used money to exchange it.
Where did you get the money?
Don't nag, just wear this.
Quick, let see how you look
Be happy
Wear it
If you had done this a long time ago,
then it wouldn't have been taken away
Hey, come on, let's see how you look.
Xu san, you bastard!
Cannot believe you are this type of person!
This brat!
You have the nerve to rape my wife?!
What?
What are you talking about?
Hey, big brother
What did you just say?
How dare you ask what I'm talking about!
What are you talking about?
Rape?
When I returned home,
my wife pushed me away and was in a cold sweat.
Then, those..
Then I saw those.
Have you thought about my feelings?
So I grabbed her hand and interogated her for a long time.
You even had to rape a woman with broken leg.
You, less than an animal, bastard.
She said she slept with you.
That... Wait
Hubby, is that true?
No, does this make sense?
Everybody saw it, saw it!
Every body saw you and my wife enter the house.
and
this
This is canned food
huh, what's the matter?
You bastard, want to deny?
You slept with that woman?
You think that makes sense? Really!
Big brother, I think you had too much to drink, Aigoo.
No
I saw her limping, I just wanted to see her home.
ha, She said her leg hurt, so I just kneed it .
-But - Wait
Kneed her leg?
Hey Xu san
Where did you kneed?
-Where did you say? -Her leg.
He said leg.
So you used massage as an excuse.
How could my wife run away from you
when she has a broken leg?
To close her mouth,
you went to sell blood
This! This!
Are you human?
I trusted you
Big brother, please calm down.
-This is really a misunderstanding. - Wait a moment
My father, he
helped aunty to her bed and then left immediately
Hey, don't cut into adult's conversation!
I saw it too.
What do you know!?
I was with dad at the time.
I was at your front door.
xi bo uncle and sum uncle saw it too.
I had always followed my dad
What is this?
What is happening?
Hey you are just favouring your dad.
Uncle, don't you know?
He's not my real dad.
Big brother.
Our first happiness said he saw it all.
Do you have to make the situation so awkward?
And uncle
You seem drunk.
You smell like alcohol.
Quickly go home and sleep.
No more show, go go go.
Huh, my wife ate the wrong medicine and talked nonsense.
Who knows where she came up with these ideas.
What's this, take your canned food with you.
This brat.
Hey
go go go aigoo.
Dad, I'm hungry.
-ah -Dad, I'm hungry too.
Children.
Do you know why you are hungry everyday?
Everyday you go out
run, jump and play noisily,

First happiness, do you know what this is?
Scars from selling blood
Why do I have to sell blood?
So that I can feed my family, but
I cannot buy buns for you to eat, why?
To give you buns
is like giving my blood to Ha So Yong. Right?
Right
Not wrong right?
No
Now that you understand, go.
Don't let your mum know.
Uncle
Softer, shhhh
Quieter.

Tricky little fellow

What did you say to first happiness?
Ask him what he wants to eat.
He wants to eat sweet potato so I let him go to my uncle's place.
First happiness went to Ha So Yong's home.
and asked him for food
He called Ha So Yong dad.
and begged him .
Look
Why raise someone else's kid?
What for?
Eventually, they will look for their real father.
Aigoo, ungrateful child, what can we do, little brat.
We still buy him something good to eat.
Cover yourself with a blanket and go to sleep.
Where are you going?
Going to find first happiness.
What are you doing?
Come out, you little brat
Go home.
You treat me less than an animal even though I've raised you for 11 years.
That bastard Ha So Yong is your real dad.
Tse, what is happening?
First happiness
Honey, I found that crazy kid
You're dead meat, go!!
Where did you go?
You really not going to listen to your mum?
Mum
Sorry
I'm wrong
No
Mum is sorry.
Sorry, mum
Mum is sorry
Let's go home
First happiness, let's go
Is he dead?
Quickly wake him.
This is karma.
What goes around comes around
Just like Ha So Yong.
ha ha , yes.
Uncle, from now on, I will be thankful for life.
Kids, the rice is cooked, time to eat.
People need to learn to forgive. -Wait a minute, we will be there soon.
The x-ray showed nothing abnormal for Mr ho,
but according to my experience,
I wonder if there is any problem with the brain.
What can we do? There is no surgery available.
What about another hospital.
Seoul.
A bigger hospital might have a way.
OK..
Sorry.
He has a son.
The son will have to pray for his father at home.
Ha So Yong's spirit might come back.
Priest, but we don't have a son.
Only two girls.
Can it not be girls?
Daughters are like throw away water.
Even when their sound is loud and clear, the soul will not hear it.
What can we do?
Priest, cannot be this way.
Isnt there another way?
Very strange
what?
why are you lying?
I didnt.
Argh, uncle did you know about this?
The doctor could not save him
Even the priest said he won't be able to save him.
Only first happiness can save my husband.
If First happiness call him, would he be able to hear him?
Wouldn't it be like a dog's bark?
When he bought buns for first happiness,
He said first happiness barked like a dog.
Ah What are you talking about, so annoying.
If you've finished talking,
Please go.
I beg you.
Help me once,
Please save my husband.
Find a good school for first happiness to study,
Give him good food to eat
Only then, can we say we love first happiness
We will pay for his education.
I beg you.
So, you want to sell first happiness with money?
We don't neccessary need those things.
No, I will not let him go.
Whenever I think of Ha So Yong, I shiver with anger everynight.
But, now you want to let first happiness go?
Can you get him a good school?
Even food to you is a problem.
For first happiness's sake, send him home.
Let him have a good life.
No, absolutely not.
No
What is more important than human life?
Don't worry,
it's not only because of first happiness.
In the end, it's about saving someone's life.
I've raised you for 11 years.
Hit you so many times,
Yelled at you so many times.
Especially when that bad truth came out.
Don't hold it in your heart.
I don't want to admit.
Ha So Yong's family say they will treat you like theirs.
You know, Ha So Yong is currently very sick.
First happiness, only you can save him.
Yes, what is more important than human life?
First save his life.
First happiness.
When you grow up.
I don't expect you to do anything for mum and dad.
When mum and dad are on the death bed,
It is enough for you to just remember that we once raised you,
and shed a few tears for us.
We will be content.
(spell)
This window is the path in and out of this house.
Block the window so that your husband cannot go out.
Let's begin.

You say "dad, please quickly come back, dad please don't go"
Dad, please come back, don't go.

Didn't you tell him beforehand?
My dad is now at the market.

No, not that.

I will go borrow some money, I will find you guys tomorrow.
Register him into the hospital first, understand?
Quickly go.
You need to rest 3 months each time you sell blood.
You don't know how to look after your body.
Who will take responsibility for your death?
I will be responsible.
If you were to die, I will be unlucky.
That's called malpractice.
I will definitely die.
This is all my money.
Sorry
Thank you
What kind of sickness?
A headache.
I'm not quite sure, I just need some money.
I'm very sorry, I don't have any money
Sorry

Please lend me some money.
What has your son's sickness got to do with me, why should I lend?
Isn't first happiness Ha So Yong's son?
Once he is better, I will bring him home.
Kids, have you got any money?
No
Because I've seen you before, I'll lend you some.
We have to look after our family.
Second happiness, you have to look after third happiness.
Come
Don't come here, go somewhere else
Other places don't know when and how often you've given blood
If you die over there, it's not my responsibility.

But
how can you give me other people's blood without my consent?
and you charged a fee.
I know, uncle,
Go and pay the fees.
