[Episode 37]
Sit down.
There's no rush.
Give her some time.
You didn't become a chef in one day.
The quality of our dishes has dropped so drastically.
We're letting down our customers.
Hurry downstairs to help her.
No matter what, we can't close down our restaurant.
Don't be in such a panic.
There are only two or three tables during each mealtime.
We're able to manage.
If she can't manage, I'm still here.
I've watched you cook all these years. I'm sure I can get it about right.
There is no rush.
It's okay.
Fire!
Mom!
Oh no! It's so hot!
- Mom! Hurry! Look at me. - What's wrong?
Are my eyebrows still here? My eyelashes?
Yes, they're all there.
How come it feels like I'm missing some?
Let me see.
- They're all here. - How come there's a burning smell?
Did you turn off the stove?
No.
This is a disaster! Hurry!
Give me a towel!
Don't get the water!
Forget about getting water!
Why isn't it going out?
Turn off the stove!
Turn it off!
Go off to the side. Don't worry about this.
Come back when the fire is out.
Quickly!
Good job on the fill-in-the-blanks. They're all correct.
- We'll use yours as the key. - Sure.
Ms. Lin?
Hello.
- That is... - These are flowers for you.
Mine?
- Yes. - Who sent them?
The deliverer said it was purchased online.
I'm not sure who it was exactly.
I'm only in charge of signing and delivering. Please sign here.
- Okay, thank you. - Thank you.
Not bad.
Wu Zheng moves fast.
I'll do my homework somewhere else today.
Sober now?
Yes.
There's somewhere I want to take you.
You're so certain I'll go with you?
Did you move heaven and earth? Why must I forgive you?
You have so much to say after I get drunk once.
I didn't say anything when you got drunk.
You even punched me. I didn't say a word.
You didn't even show up when I was drunk.
I had my reasons for getting drunk, unlike you.
You drank because you wanted to. Don't trick me into being softhearted.
All right, don't be mad anymore.
It was all my fault.
You're the most understanding, reasonable...
and knows what's best for you.
Get in.
- Shouldn't you be saying something? - What?
The flowers are nice.
That's it?
Shouldn't you be apologizing to me in a serious manner?
You women really like formalities.
Look at me. I have absolute trust in you.
I know your ex-boyfriend is back and even sent you flowers.
Of course, he must have ulterior motives.
Have I said anything? I didn't even question you.
These flowers aren't from you?
Would I do something so lowly?
Look at those flowers. They're already wilting.
I bet they're not even worth one yuan per stem.
Would I buy flowers like that?
Stop the car.
Stop the car immediately!
Auntie Wen's husband has cancer.
Fei Wen Li was fired
because she transported cancer medication from Hong Kong.
Frankly, she did this for me.
She got drunk that night, and yes, I spent the night with her.
But if I didn't do that, wouldn't that have been too unkind?
I've already explained things to her. I'm sure she'll get over it.
But it was my fault.
I explained to her
but I didn't have the patience to explain to the one I care most about.
Xiao Ou, I'm sorry.
I keep ticking you off.
I'm much too inconsiderate to you.
I'm too rough around the edges but I'll change. All right?
Remember what you said today. What will happen next time?
If it happens again, you can ignore me again.
I'll be able to turn things around again.
I didn't want to drink.
Because no matter how much I drink, it doesn't compare to thinking of you.
I get drunk just thinking about you.
No alcohol compares to you.
You say you're rough around the edges? These sweet lies come to you so easily.
Is this how you flirt with girls when you're away?
What are you going on about?
Stop it. There are people looking.
Have they never seen a couple dating?
Let me ask you something.
I sent you a picture when I was at that church in Sydney.
Why didn't you reply?
Why? My worst memories are at that church.
That church holds a special meaning to me.
You ended a relationship there
but we started a relationship there.
I'm so materialistic but I still made a wish while I was there.
I wished our love will be able to withstand all trials.
What are you doing?
This is a key.
It was common for kids to carry a house key right by their hearts.
This house key gives me a sense of belonging.
It is a connection to the ones closest to me.
Xiao Ou.
My heart is reserved only for you.
It is filled only with memories of you.
This is the only key that opens the door to my heart.
I'm now giving it to the only woman it belongs to.
You're so sappy!
You still liked hearing it.
Isn't it just the two of us? Why did you cook so much again?
Here's the soup.
We haven't heard from Xiao Ou in two days.
I was thinking about her and ended up cooking all her favorite dishes.
I'm guessing things didn't go too well.
If things were going well, she would've brought him here.
It's not a good sign that we haven't heard from them.
She called and said Wu Zheng has been away for work.
When he returns, they'll visit us when they have the time.
He's already so busy before they're even married.
I'm afraid he'll have even less time for Xiao Ou once they're married.
It's bad enough that you don't feel sorry for your daughter.
How could you also keep criticizing your future son-in-law?
I haven't accepted him as my future son-in-law yet.
I've given him a chance but he didn't cherish it.
What are you doing? I haven't eaten yet.
I feed you but you curse our daughter. I'd rather feed my daughter.
Could it be Xiao Ou and Wu Zheng?
Hello, Auntie.
- What are you doing here? - I came to visit you and Uncle.
I also brought some health supplements.
These are calcium-fortified organic supplements good for brain health.
Have you visited your own parents yet? What did you come here for?
Auntie, I know you and Uncle are very disappointed in me.
I'm also disappointed in myself.
That's why I came back to make amends.
What for?
You should know Xiao Ou already has a new boyfriend and they are doing well.
It's best if you don't show up.
Auntie, as far as I can see, she and that pilot aren't too happy.
You--
Of course, I sincerely don't wish for Xiao Ou to be emotionally hurt again.
- I-- - Is that Ye Xin?
- Uncle. - Don't stand out there. Come in.
Uncle.
Welcome.
Uncle, these...
- I'll walk you upstairs. - Sure.
Have they taken things to this level? Are they this open now?
- Let's leave. - Why?
Catch them in the act.
Wait up. Let me get a drink of water first.
- Let's continue after that. - I'll be waiting.
Caught you!
Up to no good, are you?
Is he dressed?
Yes. Is Xiao Ou?
Don't do that!
What's going on?
We're gaming!
Ye Zi, it's a really fun game! What is it called again?
It's called Monster Blast! Remember that. Let me say it again.
Monster Blast! It's so fun. It's suitable for all ages.
I guarantee you'll like it, Ye Zi. Shi Fei, you'll be addicted to it.
You'll fall down the rabbit hole.
Let's see which of the four of us can pass the level.
It's simple yet complicated, and challenges your mind.
Let's have a match.
It's late. We have to sleep.
The resident matron has spoken.
Can't you do some adult things? Why are you playing Monster Blast?
- Is it that fun? - It's really fun.
- Tell me about it. - Listen.
First of all, this game...
Were you two really gaming?
- Yes. Want to play? - Is it fun?
Come on!
Doctor, you must cure Li. It doesn't matter what it costs.
Please save him.
At present, it's not just a matter of money.
He originally had late-stage alcoholic liver disease.
Last time he was here, we noticed signs of liver decompensation.
His current situation isn't too optimistic.
The best solution would be a liver transplant.
Okay, we'll do as you say this time, Doctor.
A liver transplant isn't easy either.
The main problem is finding a donor liver.
He has blood type O. It won't be easy to find a match.
- We'll have to wait? - Yes.
What is the average wait time
and will he be able to wait that long in his current condition?
And can my daughter and I donate a part of our liver?
We are both in good health.
It is theoretically viable
as long as your blood type is compatible and you pass some routine exams.
However, all surgeries carry some risk. You must consider this carefully.
I know. That won't be a problem.
We'll do whatever it takes as long as it'll work.
All right. You can fill out a form later.
Get a blood test to check compatibility.
In addition, the cost of surgery won't be cheap. Be prepared.
Approximately how much will it be?
About 400,000 to 500,000 yuan.
The specific amount will vary depending on the surgery.
However, we should do this surgery as soon as possible.
Okay, thank you, Doctor. Thank you so much.
500,000 yuan.
What happened? You didn't buy any souvenirs while in Australia?
Eat your food.
Why were you back so late?
I thought you were here canoodling with Ms. Lin
so I was giving you two space.
Has she forgiven you?
Stop asking about my love life.
It's not good for you at this age.
Eat quickly and go to sleep.
You're so dumb! You have such bad taste.
Your flowers must have cost a lot but they were so ugly.
Who sent flowers? Would I have picked out such average flowers?
I wouldn't do that.
Stop talking so much. Hurry up and eat.
I'm serious though.
You've made a breakthrough.
You're allowed to let your ego fly.
These noodles are superb.
It's at least 70 percent comparable to Gramps's noodles.
I'm sure of it. Try it yourself.
You have quite the skill to be able to keep chattering while eating.
I obviously know my noodles taste amazing.
Mom.
I'll get a blood test done tomorrow.
The doctor said...
A liver donation will more or less affect your health.
It's okay, I'm young. My body can take it.
I know Dad's health is in this state mostly because of me.
I haven't done much for our family.
I'll do anything for Dad, let alone donate a part of my liver.
I thank you on his behalf.
We didn't raise you for nothing.
Your dad and I...
lived in Inner Mongolia for 30 years.
Your dad was an honest and dutiful man.
We thought that after we retired we could enjoy a quiet and peaceful life.
Life is unexpected.
It's a shame that the Heavens doesn't favor us.
Mom, let's not talk about this.
Let's focus our energies on treating Dad.
I want to do that but we don't have money. How can we pay for treatment?
How much money do you have?
I brought 5,000 yuan for the hospital deposit.
We didn't have much before.
We spent a majority on the restaurant
then we paid off your debt to the two men who came looking for you.
We didn't have much left after that.
We have to come up with enough money to pay for Dad's surgery.
With the money I've earned
and if I borrow money from friends
I might be able to come up with 10,000 yuan.
What are we going to do about the rest?
Think again whether you still have some savings
or if there's anybody who owes Dad money.
No, sweetie. I'm not lying to you. We don't have anymore money.
After I recovered from my sickness 10 years ago, I didn't go back to work.
It was your dad who supported this family.
Then here's what we'll do. Let's sell the house.
Sell it? What about the restaurant? It's your dad's life.
The last few years before he retired
he wouldn't stop talking about his dream of having his own restaurant.
Mom, don't talk about that. Selling the house is our only option.
We can earn more money as long as we're still living.
Treating Dad is our top priority now.
I know.
What is it? Did you forget something?
Come downstairs quickly! This is big!
[House for sale]
- Is Gramps already... - Don't say that.
Do you remember which hospital he was sent to?
Yes.
[House for sale]
The results are out.
Unfortunately, neither of you are a match.
Let me see.
I don't understand what it says.
Doctor, what does it say here? We don't understand any of it.
Just tell us what the problem is.
You and your mother are both blood type A.
Li Li Qun is blood type O.
The first criteria of a liver transplant is blood type compatibility.
You two didn't pass.
Is there a possibility there was an error with this exam?
Absolutely not. Did you not know your blood type before?
I did know but I hoped it could still have worked.
Doctor, is there any other way we can help my dad?
We'll do anything.
Do you have any other family members?
Anybody males with compatible blood type, not too old, and in good health?
- Yes. - No.
It's just the three of us. There's nobody else.
I've never heard you talk about your own children. How many do you have?
Just one daughter.
My daughter is also a bit unorthodox.
She's always looking at the grass on the other side of the fence.
Fresh corn and pork ribs soup. No MSG.
It's so good.
This is such a sincere and heartfelt letter.
My daughter hasn't returned home in half a year.
Asking her to make a trip home is like begging her to bestow a favor.
I say you miss your daughter and you're just using your wife as an excuse.
[Business license]
Mom, Mom.
I bought breakfast.
How is Dad?
He's still not up yet.
Your dad was very fastidious.
At night, after the restaurant was closed
I've seen your dad wash and scrub his hands clean.
Then he would apply hand oil.
He told me his body can age, but hands must not.
I asked him why and he said he needs his hands to cook and write.
Li...
Wake up soon.
Our daughter and I will sacrifice everything we have to treat you.
Get well soon so the three of us can go home.
We'll be so happy.
Mom, don't be so worried.
As soon as the house is sold, we'll have money for surgery.
Lower your voice.
Don't mention this after he wakes up.
I know. Mom, I won't say anything.
Our top priority now is to find a donor.
I think I should talk to my brother.
Don't view him in such a bad light.
If he is a compatible blood type, Dad will be saved.
We mustn't.
I've been by your father's side for so many years.
He has told me about his divorce but he never mentioned him before.
Think about it. Your dad won't accept his relationship to him.
Do you think he would accept his liver?
Forget about it.
This way.
Hold this for a second.
Will your dad think I'm too old?
It's not the first time he's seen you.
Relax. Don't be so nervous.
Besides, if you turn on a third of your usual charm
my mom will immediately become your loyal fan.
Are they both at home?
Did you tell them?
I didn't tell them.
It would be awkward if you had a sudden change of plans again.
Let's take them by surprise.
Who is it?
- Hello. - Hello. Who are you looking for?
Is Wu Zheng home?
He's not here. Who are you?
I am Lin Xiao Ou's father.
Xiao Ou?
- Isn't that Xiao Han's teacher? - Yes.
What do you need to see Wu Zheng about?
Xiao Ou and Wu Zheng are dating.
I came to find out more about him. Is that all right?
So you must be Wu Zheng's future father-in-law.
Come in, come in!
Come sit on the sofa!
Oh, it's such a mess.
Please sit.
I'll bring you some tea. Just sit here.
Wu Zheng is a good child.
Why don't I call him?
No need. I can wait.
All right.
Wu Zheng lost his father but his mother raised him well.
He is very mature and understanding.
That might be Wu Zheng. Let me get the door.
- It's been a long time, Auntie Wen. - Wen Li?
I came to return this plant to Wu Zheng.
Are you feeling better now?
I'm much better. This was a birthday gift from Wu Zheng.
I'm moving soon so I'll leave this for him.
Why are you moving? Is it because of work?
My friend referred me to another company. I'm leaving Shanghai.
I knew good people would be rewarded.
All right, then. I wish you the best.
I hope you'll find a good man soon.
There's nobody else.
I've liked him for three years. I didn't think it would end this way.
Wen Li, I have a guest over right now.
Why don't I come to your house later?
Ma'am, you don't have to turn her away.
Miss, you can speak freely in front of me.
Who is this?
Excuse me for interrupting.
I am Lin Xiao Ou's father.
Hello.
Miss, from the sound of things you are Wu Zheng's ex-girlfriend?
Can you tell me how he did you wrong?
Sir, it's not what you think. You're mistaken.
I'm afraid not.
Miss, did you break up with Wu Zheng because of Lin Xiao Ou?
It's not what you think.
Perhaps Xiao Ou is a better match for him.
I don't regret liking him the past few years though.
Wen Li, how could say this?
There was nothing going on between you and Wu Zheng. Right?
Ma'am--
Don't speak irresponsibly in front of Xiao Ou's father.
Wu Zheng had nothing to do with this.
I see now. You must be Wu Zheng's family member.
Don't speak up for him.
I'm not. I'm his housekeeper!
I can't stand watching a good man be maligned.
Miss, firstly, I have to apologize to you on behalf of Lin Xiao Ou.
Secondly, pardon me for being frank.
Don't make a rash decision for someone who doesn't deserve it.
Uncle, you don't have to apologize. It's not what you think.
Wu Zheng and I probably aren't meant to be.
I'm tired of liking him after three years.
It's time for me to leave and start a new life.
Hello?
Hurry home. Our future son-in-law is visiting.
He dared to visit?
Okay, have him wait for me at home.
Wu Zheng, have some fruit.
I'll refill your tea.
Mom, you've already refilled his cup four times since he came in.
Have I? That's okay.
This tastes great.
Here, have a grape.
Wu Zheng, how about some more tea?
That's enough, Mom!
Okay, okay.
Wu Zheng, tell me some more stories about flying.
Auntie, I'll recommend a few blogs to you later.
I'll tell you in secret. I'm not telling Xiao Ou.
These blogs have many accounts of interesting flight incidents.
You can read them on your own.
- Okay. - Why aren't you going to tell me?
I'll be jealous if you pay attention to other pilots.
- Your dad is back. - Ye Xin, come in.
- Why did you bring him here? - What are you doing here?
- Xiao Ou, I-- - I invited him.
I'm the head of this house. I can decide who can come.
I'm also the head of this house.
I don't welcome anyone who has done Xiao Ou wrong.
It's hard to say who is bad for Xiao Ou.
What do you mean by that, Dad?
I bring my boyfriend home and you bring him too.
- Do you not want me to come home? - Xiao Ou.
- We're leaving. - No, Xiao Ou.
I think Uncle must have his reasons for bringing Mr. Ye.
Let's listen to what Uncle has to say.
Uncle, I think you must have some misunderstandings about me.
That's okay. I can explain any questions you have.
I was at your house just now.
A woman named Fei Wen Li came to see you.
She brought a plant she took care of for several years.
She said you broke her heart.
She is going to leave Shanghai now.
Can you explain what is going on between you and this girl?
I know that Fei Wen Li. She has a one-sided affection for Wu Zheng.
There's nothing going on between them.
Was I asking you?
She is a woman who stood by his side for years.
In the end, she is reduced to a one-sided affection
but still speaks up for him.
Isn't that the same as what you're doing now?
You're all silly women who have been completely brainwashed.
You will end up with the same fate as that woman.
Dad, do you know the whole story?
I like Wu Zheng by my own choice. Nobody brainwashed me.
You, on the other hand, are stuck with preconceived notions
and finding reasons to justify yourself.
If he has done nothing wrong, would I have such a poor impression of him?
I...
Uncle, I have something to say.
I haven't been a father for long
but I can understand
the protectiveness you feel for your child, especially a daughter.
Xiao Ou and I have the intention of spending the rest of our lives together.
We aren't dating casually.
I know you have misunderstandings about me.
You probably won't accept whatever I have to say.
I can only say that time will reveal all.
My feelings for Xiao Ou are real.
Please wait and see.
Wait?
Wait for you to brainwash me too?
Dad, he is my guest! You're being too rude!
Xiao Ou, calm down. Uncle is just concerned about your happiness.
You have no right to speak here.
My happiness is none of your concern either.
We're leaving.
Go.
Uncle and Auntie, goodbye!
I'm sorry.
It's because of my complicated history
that caused such unpleasantness between you and your dad.
I'm the one who should apologize.
My dad went to your house to investigate you.
He even complicated the situation by bringing in Ye Xin.
We could go on all night. Let's stop apologizing.
I'm actually quite happy today. At least your mom really likes me.
That's true.
Given the way she treated you, you've gained another hardcore fan.
We'll keep at it. There's no rush.
I'm certain we'll win your dad's vote.
Let's talk about something else.
Let's do something fun.
Watch the road!
Drink a glass of milk before bed.
Don't sulk.
I only did it for Xiao Ou.
Since it's for Xiao Ou, then why were you so harsh to Wu Zheng?
I went to his house today.
His living environment is very mediocre.
His financial condition is unremarkable.
None of those are the issue.
The problem is that his character is questionable.
What's wrong with Wu Zheng?
Even if he's not a good man, you shouldn't have made use of Ye Xin.
You know how Ye Xin hurt Xiao Ou.
A fault confessed is half redressed.
Ye Xin has made his intentions known to me.
I should at least give him a chance.
If you can give him a chance, why not give one to Wu Zheng?
Ye Xin is still young. There is a chance he can correct his ways.
But Wu Zheng is still acting this way at 40.
That means that's the way he'll stay.
You and Ye Xin were talking for such a long time in your room.
Don't tell me he brainwashed you.
Would I be so easily brainwashed?
I listened to his future career plans.
I also heard him express his apologies to Xiao Ou.
I have a clear feeling that he is the better man for Xiao Ou.
I don't believe it.
A cheater will always be a cheater.
You can forgive him but Xiao Ou might not be able to.
He'll have to win back Xiao Ou on his own.
Ye Xin is quite thoughtful.
He reminded me today that it's your birthday tomorrow.
You, Xiao Ou, and I have all forgotten but he still remembered.
So what? I'm not celebrating.
Thank you.
Did you have fun today?
Yes. I've even forgotten how Dad was a pain in the neck.
Don't fight with your dad later.
I can't be bothered to fight with him.
If he disapproves of us, I'll continue to be firmly on your side.
I'm being serious.
Don't fight with your dad for any man.
In this world
the man who loves you the deepest and longest
is your father.
No man can replace him.
It's true. Be sure to remember this.
Fine.
I'll try not to fight with him.
We haven't been to Old Street Bistro in a while.
How are things between you and the old man?
He... He's sick. It seems very serious.
I visited him a few times but he doesn't want to see me.
For him to push me away even when he's so sick
means that he doesn't think of me as family.
Don't let this weigh on you.
This must be hard on you.
Xiao Han and I will be your family from now on.
That sounds like you want your relationship status to be upgraded.
It's late. You should go home to rest. I should go too.
Wait, wait! You forgot something.
[Old Boy]
