How about we eat with chopsticks?
Hey! It's my turn.
Hurry.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Stitched Into Your Heart Team @Viki
Hey!
That's what you get for being greedy. Now you don't have any rice.
Hey.
Xiao Yu's back!
You also dropped it. My turn.
Go away.
Hey, I say, why do you always cheat?
It's your fault for tricking me!
You don't get any.
Zhang Guo Guo,
you only have one merit: You have a big heart.
Is that a compliment or insult?
A compliment, of course.
- Also, the compliment is very-- - Go away.
Hey.
Look at you. You just lost a competition this morning for no reason.
If this happened to me, I'd go crazy! I might even jump off a building!
Look at you. You're totally fine.
How could I forget that so easily? That was my first embroidery competition.
That's right.
Are you still angry?
Through this competition, I understood that
the knowledge behind embroidery is vast. No oversight can be allowed.
My teacher was right. Failure is also a way to gain experience.
She is right.
You're always talking about your teacher. Is she really that great?
What did you think?
Guo Guo.
- Go, go. - Guo Guo.
Don't come out. If you come out, I'll shave off your hair.
Teacher.
Teacher,
I have many things to tell you.
What's the competition result?
Why are you shaking your head? Let's try again, okay?
It should be around here.
Guo Guo,
if anyone asks about me, tell them that you don't know me.
You have never met me. Understand?
Huh?
Teacher. Hey!
Hey, Xiao Yu's Wontons! This is the place.
It's you.
Zhang Guo Guo, what are you doing here?
What a coincidence.
Are you here to eat wontons? We've already closed shop. Please go back.
No, no, no. We're not here to eat wontons. We're looking for somebody.
Who are you looking for?
Is there a woman here called Song Xiu Hua?
Song Xiu Hua?
Sorry, I have never heard of her.
She could have changed her name.
She is the one.
This auntie is very beautiful
but I have never seen her. Sorry.
Please ask someone else.
Hey.
You already heard her.
Sister-in-Law is not in Xiping. Let's go back now.
If she hasn't seen her, maybe others may have seen her.
I will ask her again.
I would still like to ask.
Other than you, who else is usually here in this shop?
Xiao Yu.
Can I see Xiao Yu? Perhaps she knows Song Xiu Hua.
Can't you see that I'm here alone? Xiao Yu is not here.
Aren't you city dwellers very reserved?
Why did you barge into my shop without even a notice?
Sorry.
We are very anxious.
We heard from someone that he saw her in this shop.
You were not here then. Perhaps, Xiao Yu may have seen her.
Xiao Yu has lots of customers. She can't remember the most of them.
Hurry and go back. Don't ask around here. If you have time, ask other people.
Hey.
Why are the mice out here again?
- Go back now. I'm going to catch the mouse. - Let's go, Zhi Ming.
Get up!
Hey! Wait.
My leg fell asleep.
W-Who did you just call a mouse?
It's your fault for making noise. If they caught us, would you take the blame?
Hey.
I heard you guys were talking about Song Xiu Hua.
Who is she?
- He just-- - Hey.
I'm so tired. Go home and sleep.
- Stop pushing me. My leg is asleep. - Hurry and leave.
My leg is asleep.
You're only pushing me out. Aren't you going home?
I haven't been in the shop all day. Later, I'll go make the wonton stuffing for tomorrow.
I'll sleep in the shop tonight.
How are you going to sleep here?
If you combine the tables, it'll be a bed.
You won't have covers. You can't use wonton wrappings as your covers.
I know.
What stuffing?
You're just afraid your mom will beat you at home.
Who says so? Mom has never beaten me.
Enough, stop trying to act tough.
Let's do this. You can stay at my house for the night.
I won't mind,
as long as you don't have improper thoughts about me.
Look at your miserable self.
Who would want to sleep at your house? Get lost!
- Scram! - I'm trying to be kind.
Lunatic.
But isn't the couple looking for Teacher just now
the couple who fostered Sister?
Why are they looking for Teacher?
Why is Teacher hiding from them?
Aiyo, I'll stop thinking about it.
What's wrong?
She moved out of Xiping?
Can you tell me where she's living now?
She kept a low profile when she was in Xiping.
Very few people knew her.
Come back now. I will send someone to find her.
Okay.
Xiu Hua,
since you are so insistent on not being discovered,
you must have your own difficulties.
I should respect your own decision.
Sister-in-Law has left Xiping?
Brother Hai Song said that after their meeting,
Sister-in-Law moved away.
Looks like Zhang Guo Guo was right.
You believe me now, right?
She's clearly guilty because of her crime.
If she didn't lose Yi Bei, why would she hide from everyone?
Hui Jie,
I need to apologize.
For the past few years, to make my heart feel better,
I kept blaming you for what has happened to Yi Bei.
If we hadn't been arguing about divorce,
Yi Bei wouldn't have left and gotten lost.
I...
I was at fault, too.
At that time, I was only worried about becoming lead embroiderer.
I didn't give any attention to you and Yi Bei.
If not, you wouldn't have fought with me and asked for a divorce.
Yi Bei wouldn't have...
Okay, let's not talk about this. I will make up for this in the future.
Brat!
You went to cause troubles for Yu Xin at Zhenhu and you still have the shame to come back?
I have wasted more than twenty years raising you!
- I'll beat you to death! - Mom!
I didn't come home for the night. Shouldn't you be concerned about me?
Why don't you ask where I slept, whether I ate, or whether I slept well?
Why should I be concerned about you? You have hands and legs. You will naturally come home if you want to.
Would you die from hunger and cold?
If I were Sister, you'd definitely ask!
So what?
Yu Xin is smart and well-behaved. She left to study alone when she was young.
I didn't even take care of her. Thinking about it, it pains my heart. Can you be compared to her?
Why not?
We are both your daughters. Why do you like her and not me?
Mom,
there are some words I've been hiding in my heart for many years.
I've just never told you.
Growing up,
you treated Sister and me differently.
Sister could attend college, but I could only sell wontons.
I finally found a hobby in embroidery,
but you're forcing me to give up because of Sister.
You even cut up the cheongsam I worked so hard on.
Mom,
is there a reason behind this?
What reason? You're my daughter.
I can treat you however I want.
Could it be that
I'm not your biological daughter?
What nonsense are you saying? I'll beat you!
Sister said it, too! You found me on the streets.
She was lying to you.
It's because you angered her, and she said those words to scare you.
- But-- - Aiya!
How could you trust Yu Xin's words? She even tells people she's an orphan.
That's true.
Why do I always feel like Sister really dislikes me as her sister?
Sometimes I even dislike you as my daughter.
How could you say that you're not my daughter?
That's so hurtful. I'm so angry at you!
Mom,
I'm sorry. I shouldn't have said those words to hurt you.
I know that you don't want me to study out-of-town like Sister
because you're afraid I'll leave you. You want me to take care of you
and stay by your side, right?
That's right. Growing up,
you're even closer to me than Yu Xin. Yu Xin, that child,
looks down on me and this family,
but you don't despise me.
I hit you and yell at you, yet you still come hug me.
My sister must have her own difficulties.
When she develops well in the future, she'll surely return to take care of you, right?
I don't need you to tell me.
Alright, customers are coming soon. Get to work.
Okay?
- Alright, Xiao Yu. Don't be angry any more. - Stupid girl.
Let me see. Smile.
Xiao Yu!
Hurry and work.
Smile!
So annoying.
Mom, you're so great.
Forget it. I'll just go find you.
Hello, sir. These are the roses you ordered. I wish you a long relationship with your lover.
I didn't order these.
Aren't you sitting in the spot closest to the checkout counter? You told me to bring it here directly as a surprise.
When I called you, you didn't answer, so I came in directly.
No. I didn't order any.
Wait. I ordered them.
Oh.
You already paid online.
It's tip.
Oh. Thank you.
For you.
Thank you, Director Li.
Do you like them?
How did you know I like roses?
You contributed a lot to our project's success. This is just an expression of my gratitude.
I'll take it, then. In the future, please take good care of me.
Of course. But for our better partnership in the future,
I hope your position in Golden Thread Embroidery can stabilize.
Don't worry. I will make the Jin family accept me completely.
I will also replace that Jin Yi Bei who disappeared for twelve years.
I believe in your capabilities.
Oh, right. Do you know Song Xiu Hua?
You mean, Grand Lead Embroiderer's oldest daughter-in-law?
I've only heard about her. I think Grand Lead Embroiderer favored her in the past.
If she hadn't left due to an accident in the past, she would be the current lead embroiderer.
Then, what if she suddenly returns?
I'm afraid it'll be harmful to us.
She's just like Grand Lead Embroiderer. They both adhere to principles and protect traditions.
She won't agree to our plan to commercialize Golden Thread Embroidery.
To be frank, a unmaterialistic person like her
is harder to control than your teacher.
Although I'm Teacher's apprentice, I agree with what you said.
I hope she doesn't return.
She probably wouldn't. I heard she lived in Xiping for a while in the past.
Later, she suddenly disappeared again.
Could it be her?
[Golden Thread Embroidery]
Thank you for driving me back.
You're welcome. Oh, right.
Do you have time to attend our company's conference for the new autumn and fall products?
After all, you'll need to develop in the fashion industry. I can use this event to help you set up connections.
That's great, but I don't know how to thank you for all your help.
Girls shouldn't always say that to men. Go inside now.
My dream life is finally about to begin.
- Come with me. - What are you doing?
Let go!
I'm asking you, where's the child?
I already told you the child is long gone. Stop bugging me. Hurry and sign the divorce papers.
Stop lying!
I asked the hospital. The doctor said that your body condition
makes abortion very risky. Seeing your current condition,
the child is still alive, right? The doctor said you must be hospitalized to protect the fetus,
but you haven't been going in for check-ups. Don't you know this is dangerous?
I don't know what nonsense you're saying.
Let go of me! This'll only make me hate you more.
You can hate me, but I must ensure the safety of you and the child.
Come with me.
You--
Let go!
Sir, go to First Maternity and Infant Health Hospital.
- Don't drive! - Drive!
Don't drive! Let me off the car!
Lu Si Chen! You already know that our relationship is impossible! Why must you force me?
Because I love you! Did you know that I've been searching for you?
School, Golden Thread Embroidery, Xiping. I searched all over the place!
If this keeps up, I'll really lose my mind.
It's true that I once liked you,
but I don't need your love anymore.
Even if you use violence to bind us two together,
it's impossible between us!
I can't worry about all that!
Let me go!
Come with me! Sir!
She's my wife. Drive the car!
- Don't drive! - Drive!
[Empty Vehicle]
Hello, Dad?
Okay. I'll go back and pick her up.
What's going on?
Sir, aren't we going to the hospital? Why did you come here?
- Brother, hitting your wife is illegal. - What hitting my wife?
Sir!
Hurry and leave,
or else I can't be sure of what I'll tell the police.
What do you want? Come with me.
Let's go!
Let go!
Yu Xin!
- Stop it! - What are you doing?
Are you okay?
Officers, hear me out.
She's my wife. She just tripped.
- I was helping her up. - Come with us.
- Let me explain! - Walk!
Are you okay?
Don't worry. The recorder filmed it all.
You can use it as evidence.
I worked so hard to gain this all. You can't ruin it.
Lu Si Chen, you forced me to do this.
Domestic violence? No.
Later, I found out his habitual physical abuse, so I wanted a divorce.
She's pregnant and has been throwing a temper lately, refusing to return home.
I only wanted to take her to the hospital for a pregnancy check-up.
If you don't trust me, you can go confirm it.
He hit me until I almost got a miscarriage. I'm so afraid.
For the child, I can't continue living with someone like him,
but he wouldn't agree to the divorce. I could only hide everywhere.
Miss Zhang says you've been abusing her, making her live in fear.
When we stopped you today, she had obvious scars on her wrist.
The taxi's driving recorder also--
How could I abuse her? Let me see her and clear everything up.
I really can't see him again.
What if he's released and wants to kill me? No...
I'm begging you, help me. Save my child, okay?
Miss Zhang, in your situation, you can request a divorce trial.
You can sue him for intentional assault.
Okay, I'll sue him, then.
Hello? Director Li.
What's wrong? You didn't pick up your phone.
I was feeling uncomfortable, so I went to the hospital. That's why I missed your call.
Are you sick? You were fine when we were together.
My stomach suddenly started hurting. After IV drops, I feel better now.
If you're not feeling well, why didn't you say so ealier?
Director Li, you invited me out. How could I reject you?
Plus, I didn't want Professor and Teacher to worry about me.
You're too considerate of other people. How could you hold back something like sickness?
You wouldn't understand the feelings of an inferior person like me.
Please don't let them know. I don't want them to worry.
Okay, but if anything arises in the future, you must tell me.
Don't treat me as somebody you need to cautiously please, okay?
Okay. I understand.
- I'll hang up now. - Bye.
Don't be sad any more. Winning second place in this type of big competition
is already amazing.
Actually, I'm not fully upset because of losing.
Then, why else?
I hurt Lisa Wu.
You didn't purposefully give Lisa Wu allergic shock, right?
Don't blame yourself too much. How is she now?
Jerk Lawyer said he already asked around. She's fine now.
Oh, that's good.
But I'm still upset. After this, I understood one thing.
Embroidery is filled with responsibility.
If I hurt other people with embroidery,
no matter how much success I have or how many trophies I win,
it's pointless.
Rightfully said.
A qualified embroiderer must put her embroidery standards
and her customers' requests first.
If she's too ambitious, she won't be controlling the needle any more. Instead, the needle will be controlling her.
I wanted you to enter this contest to expand your horizons.
Understand? Don't worry about the result too much.
Teacher, I understand now.
Teacher, you know Lead Embroiderer Xu's family, right?
I see that you're always avoiding them, so I've guessed a lot of it.
Even Jerk Lawyer asked me last time. I didn't tell him anything.
That's all in the past. I don't want to touch it again.
My only goal now is to teach you embroidery.
Hopefully, one day, you can help me accomplish my dreams.
Teacher, don't worry. I'll work hard. I won't disappoint you.
The dress! My dress is still with that Jerk Lawyer!
Teacher, I need to go now.
Slow down!
I really miss Ramen-Head's fried rice right now.
No,
I need to get some food.
I'll pretend like you're Ramen-Head's fried rice.
Open the door!
Jerk Lawyer, open the door! It's me!
Food is here.
Jerk Lawyer, open the door! It's me.
- Why are you here? - Where's my Black Swan?
Give it back!
Are you the Eight-Nation Alliance? You just barged in and started searching my house.
- Hey. Come here. - Where is it?
Sit here. Sit down, and I'll tell you where your Swan is.
- You're looking for your Swan, right? - Yes.
But there's a very severe problem right now: I'm about to starve to death.
I'm so hungry that my head is dizzy, my eyes are blurry, and I'm seeing stars.
I'm so hungry that I can't even see your beautiful face any more.
When people are hungry, they have low blood sugar and low blood pressure.
No matter how high my IQ is, I can't remember where your Swan is.
What do you want?
It's simple. Make a meal for me, and I'll tell you where the Swan is.
- Where are you going? - Buying vegetables!
Oh. Come back soon.
What are you doing?
Is the delivery for threads 234, 235, 236, and 237 here yet?
Orders for the golden threads were placed yesterday.
- Hurry and confirm when the threads will arrive. - Okay.
Lead Embroiderer! News of Miss Lisa Wu wearing our cheongsam to the red carpet
has not been publicized yet, but our orders already increased by five million.
You must keep the order increase a secret. If Grand Lead Embroiderer finds out, she'll overthink again.
Yes, Lead Embroiderer.
Teacher,
I'm sorry. I'm late.
Why did you just come?
- I just had a meeting with Director Li and I was held up. - No matter your excuse,
if you planned to learn embroidery today, you must arrive on time. The teacher shouldn't wait on the student.
Soon, you're going to accompany Grandma to Wang Mei Yin's performance. What if you delay it?
In the future, if this happens again, you must tell me beforehand. Don't make me wait for you again.
I'll be careful in the future, Teacher.
Come with me.
More than three-thousand seven-hundred colors of threads are stored in Golden Thread Embroidery.
Your first task is to memorize all these thread colors and their corresponding numbers.
All of them?
- Is there a problem? - No problem.
Before embroidering, you must first learn many basic skills.
For example, splitting thread, smoothing yarn...
I'm sorry, Teacher. I have to go to the bathroom.
This child is clever and talented,
but she's not focused and hardworking enough.
- Hello? - Hello, is this Miss Zhang Yu Xin?
- It's me. Who are you? - I am Lu Si Chen's lawyer.
His father is currently extremely ill, and he wants to apply for out-of-court mediation.
Impossible.
- But his father is currently... - He's just using the hospital as an excuse to escape.
Who knows what he'll do after escaping?
What if he comes out, gets angry, and kills me? Will you take responsibility?
His family business failed and now he has so much debt.
If I stay with him, do you expect me to pay off the debt?
Tell him if he wants mediation, there's only one option: Sign the divorce papers.
Yu Xin.
What's wrong? You don't look so well. Are you sick?
I'm fine. I didn't get good rest last night.
Don't go to the performance later, then. You should rest.
I'm fine. I already promised Grandma. Professor Jin,
growing up, I've never had a chance to spend time with family.
Spending time with my elders is a blessing.
What a filial child.
- Then, make preparations. You'll leave soon. - Okay.
Too many things happened today. I'm really too tired.
Is the child okay?
What? Zhang Yu Xin said that?
Yes. Also,
there's sufficient evidence of your domestic violence towards her. Unless she's willing to cooperate with mediation,
you can't leave and see your father anytime soon.
Why are you giving this to me?
- I'll never agree to divorce. - Please don't be rash.
If you want to take care of your father immediately, you'll have to listen to Miss Zhang Yu Xin.
Sign the papers and divorce.
She knows my father is sick, yet she's using it to threaten me.
Yu Xin,
you're too cruel.
Zhang Yu Xin, you're too cruel.
I'll leave now.
Timing and Subtitles brought to you by the Stitched Into Your Heart Team @Viki
That's not right.
Why are the cramps so obvious?
Could something have happened?
Hello?
Miss Zhang Yu Xin, Mr. Lu Si Chen already signed the divorce papers.
You said that you're willing to mediate. Can you fulfill your promise now?
Of course,
but not right now.
I have an emergency right now. Maybe some other day.
Lu Si Chen, you're finally willing to divorce,
but I don't have time for you right now.
Stay in jail a couple more days.
Mister, Xiping.
Miss, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?
Hurry, Xiping!
Please enjoy.
Zhang Guo Guo, this stupid girl.
I haven't seen her all day.
I was thinking of you for naught. I even made your favorite red-braised pork.
Hello? This is Xiao Yu's Wontons.
Mom.
Yu Xin!
I'm on the way home right now.
Hurry and close shop, and then go home immediately.
Don't call anyone home,
especially not Zhang Guo Guo, okay?
Yu Xin, I'm happy that you're coming home,
but why can't people be home?
Yu Xin?
This daughter of mine... I can understand her words and actions less and less now.
Mom! I'm back.
I made chicken soup for you.
I don't have time to drink your chicken soup.
I'm busy today. I don't want to bother with you.
Go to Xiao Qin's house or Xiu Hua's house for a night.
Mom, this issue has already passed. Why are you still hung up over it?
Don't be angry. I specially made chicken soup for you.
After drinking it, it'll be beneficial for your body.
Hey, can't you understand my words? I don't want to drink your chicken soup.
- Leave, leave. - Mom!
Go somewhere else tonight. I don't want to see you today.
- Then, drink the soup! - Okay.
For delicious food, for freedom, cheers.
Why are you back?
Don't mention it.
I'll eat some food here.
- Food? - Seriously?
I was only gone for a few minutes, and you finished all the food.
I didn't eat it all. I saved some for you. Look!
There's half a fish and some peanuts. I specially saved them for you.
It's your fault for leaving with the soup right after cooking. Who knows where you went?
Hey, what's wrong? Why are you drinking alcohol?
Stop talking.
Why do I think you're unhappy?
Tell me! Who bullied you?
I, the great lawyer, will help you punish the evildoer. Hurry, tell me who it is.
Say something! I'm asking you, who is it?
Who is what? Who is what?
Who's this? So lively today.
Coming.
Yun Kai, I'm here to borrow rice.
What? Borrow rice?
Don't you have a grain shop by your house? Why are you borrowing rice from me?
I'll just borrow a little.
Guo Guo?
A-Are you two having a candlelight dinner?
No, Xiao Qin. Listen to me.
- Today, we're-- - It's okay. Let's eat together.
I didn't have rice, anyway.
T-Then, let's drink.
Xiao Qin, you'll get drunk if you drink like this. I'll make some dishes for you.
Hey! No need. It's good to be drunk. Cheers!
Here. Cheers.
Are you two not going to drink with me?
- Guo Guo, you're not loyal. - What?
How am I not loyal?
- Aren't we good friends? - Of course!
Then, why did you have a candlelight dinner with him behind my back?
Candlelight...
Xiao Qin, I really had an emergency today. I had nowhere to eat dinner, so I came here to eat.
Oh. That's right...
Are you telling the truth?
Of course.
Give me the alcohol.
Even if all men in the world died, I wouldn't like Li Yun Kai, this big jerk.
Li Yun Kai, the stinky dog poop.
Li Yun Kai, the stinky booger!
Li Yun Kai, the stinky eye discharge!
Hey! You two, you're having a lot of fun, talking back and forth!
What-- What's wrong with me? W-Why am I stinky dog poop?
Get more alcohol.
- This is also made from glutinous rice, right? - Yes.
Glutinous rice and maltose.
Yu Xin, come down!
- Mom. Mom, my stomach hurts so much! - Yu Xin!
What's wrong?
Sir, hurry and drive to the hospital!
Yu Xin.
Guo Guo, let's drink more.
Still won't drink with me, huh?
Li Yun Kai, when will you return my Black Swan?
Black Swan? You're raising a swan?
Yes. It's a really big swan!
Wait.
Here, your swan.
I'm telling you,
day and night, I worked so hard to create this.
Look!
It's a dress. I want to wear it!
Here.
Why doesn't it fit? What horrible handiwork.
Let go!
Take it off.
Who says it doesn't fit?
How is it?
Pretty, right?
What are you doing?
What are you taking pictures of?
Stop taking pictures!
