I knew what went on when I heard it
Fat Mama is such a big bully
If I were Auntie, I'd be able to tell she's the intended target
Why worry, Sis? Didn't you say Fat Mama and her boss are as close as sisters?
Fat Mama is such a bully. It's time she was taught a lesson
Sam wants to reform the factory, right? Let him sack her then!
I'd say the same thing in her presence!
She has herself to blame for doting on Keke. I'll drive her to her grave!
She's not doing the right thing. Why can't I tell her off?
What are you looking at? Do your homework!
It's Jieying. She played too much in the day and is burning the midnight oil
Don't fight with Fat Mama as she's in low spirits?
She's always the one picking a fight
Once we quarrelled and nearly hit each other, remember?
She even threw me out of the house
If you dare talk back to me, I'll throw you out of the house!
Fat Mama is so wicked. She keeps telling Jieying to get back at me for her
I'm jotting down all the money I spend on Jieying
If she dares turn against me, I'll settle scores with her!
It's not that I'm being wicked
I hope Fat Mama will be sacked. That'll take the edge off her arrogance
Don't worry so much. Let's have lunch together tomorrow
Still, you need to eat. It's set. We'll meet tomorrow
Mummy, does it make you happy if Granny loses her job?
Mind your own business!
How do I solve this problem?
Stupid girl! You didn't pay attention in class!
I should ask since I can't do it
Don't talk back! Ask your dad when he comes home
Daddy seems ill. He kept coughing this morning
Come on, I'm so busy but I haven't even fallen ill
Your daddy is too free, that's why he thinks he's sick
Why isn't he home yet then?
He's taking stock, that's why
He's energetic when he's at his computer
But when it comes to stocktaking, he's so slow
Now where was I?
Got to count all over again
-For you -Thanks
Drink it hot so you'll have a good sweat, and you'll be OK. I'll do it
Sorry, it's public holidays and you still have to work overtime
You have a cold but you're working OT too
We're always busiest during public holidays
I've tidied everything. We can go once I finish this
Don't put these here. Keli will scold you
She wants all the goods to be put at fixed places so she won't mix them up
You seem quite afraid that she might get angry
Can't be helped. She has gastritis whenever she's angry
You care so much for her. She wouldn't be angry with you
Did the tea make you feel better?
It's important to rest. Have a good sleep and you'll be fine tomorrow
You're so efficient. Had it not been for you, I'd still have been working
Everybody's gone. It's so quiet
Don't worry, the guards are around
What happened?
Anybody out there?
Where are the security guards?
I often see them dozing away when I knock off late
So what are we going to do?
We'll just wait for the power to come back
It's so late. Will your wife worry?
Relax. She probably thinks I'm at my computer and am too engrossed to go home
-Really? -Want to bet?
Since we're stuck here, let me tell you a ghost story
No!
You're still as timid as you used to be
I'll tell you the story of a female ghost at a cemetery
There were two people who lived in a village
Why haven't you gone to bed?
I'm waiting for Daddy. I want to pass him this medicine for cold
If he really had a cold, he'd be home by now. What's the big deal anyway?
I bet he's at his computer again and is so engrossed he's forgotten to come home
I'm not going to wait up for him. You'd better go to bed too
The female ghost appeared!
Don't go on anymore. I'm scared!
Trust you to be so timid. You haven't changed a bit
But you've changed. You don't joke as much as you used to
I'm the father of two kids now
If we weren't trapped in the lift, I'd have forgotten I loved to jest
What bad luck
I forgot to go to the horoscope website to check my fortune today
But one thing is for sure - it's not my day
I'm ill yet I still had to work OT, and I'm trapped in a lift
And when I want to call someone for help, the battery is flat
When will we be rescued?
Just pretend we're playing hide-and-seek like we used to when we were kids
Remember I once hid myself in a big metal barrel...
and you couldn't find me at all?
When my parents came to look for me at nightfall, I'd fallen asleep in it
Uncle and Auntie love you a lot
When I left Kelantan, they told me they longed to visit you
I haven't been back often since I left
Keli said it's inconvenient and she doesn't like the place
She also can't get along with my parents
But Uncle and Auntie aren't hard to get along with
They miss you a lot. Ask Keli to visit them with you. Take it as a holiday
She's too keen on making money to do that
There's no end to making money. So long as one has enough to spend, it's enough
What matters is one is happy
That's how I feel too, but Keli thinks I'm not enterprising
Is there anybody outside?
-Is there someone inside? -Yes. Get us out, quick!
OK, I'll go and get the repairmen
How did he know we were trapped?
The power is back. They must've seen us on the closed-circuit TV
They didn't doze off today. Everything's fine now
Daddy, remember to take the medicine
You switched on the light and won't stop coughing
I'm trying to sleep, you know
Must've been playing at the computer again, eh?
Trust you to do that. Did you take the stock carefully?
I'll check tomorrow. If I find any mistake, you'll get it from me
Sis, I've bought pipa duck. No need to cook so much for dinner
Mum has gone out to buy something. We can have dinner once she's back
I've made dessert. I'll get some for you
-I want to watch cartoon! -I want to watch the drama!
Jieying, you're the sister. Let your brother watch cartoon!
-Jieying, Jielun, have some dessert -Thanks, Auntie
Finish it quickly and we're going home
You won't wait for Mum?
Whatever for? She won't be grateful to me for visiting her anyway
If they hadn't wanted to eat dessert, I wouldn't have come
I'm not so stupid as to stay and let her rail at me
I'm like an enemy to her
I'm the stupidest for giving birth to an enemy!
Granny
How scheming of you to sneak in and eavesdrop on others
Others? You're my daughter
Fancy bad-mouthing your own mother behind her back!
Even if I were your enemy,
you shouldn't have spoken ill of me in my grandchildren's presence
Mind you don't get struck by lightning!
I shouldn't have brought you up!
Yeah, you should've struggled me to death when I was born so I...
wouldn't cause you to have a stroke!
That's why I got married early to get away from you
Don't start a fight, please
What did I tell you? She picked a fight the minute she came home
I'm glad I'm married or I'd be the one who had a stroke and be paralysed!
Aren't you wicked to curse your own mother!
Fine! Go on doing that! I'll see how your daughter gets back at you for me!
What's the meaning of this? You're telling my daughter to get back at me
If she dares do that, I'll kill her!
Go ahead!
Don't get the children involved
-Mummy, Sis hit me -He teased me first
Still, you shouldn't have hit him
See, your mum loves your brother more
Don't forget to get back at her for me when you grow up!
You're the one who shows favouritism!
I don't! I gave birth to the 3 of you!
You don't show favouritism? Look at this packet of yong tau foo
Sis doesn't like bitter gourd but you bought it because it's Keke's favourite!
I bought it with my own money! You're not fit to interfere!
I'm glad I have Keke
If I were to count on you to support me, I'd starve to death!
Yeah, Keke is capable. Sis can't hold a candle to her however good she is
Keke is the apple of your eye, so you only saw her through university
I hope she'll be left on the shelf so she can keep you company for life!
How wicked of you to curse your own sister!
-I learnt from you -When did I teach you that?
Don't say any more. Go
Mum, don't be angry anymore. Keli actually bought you pipa duck
Bought me duck? Thanks a lot!
Look!
I really ought to go on my knees and say thank you
This duck is `skinnier' than you!
I had your welfare at heart. You eat so much fatty stuff
If you had a stroke, who'd take care of you?
I have to eat the duck and get cursed by you? Thanks a lot!
I'd rather feed the duck to the crows that listen to you crowing!
Keke, are you unwell?
-It's very painful... -Where's the pain?
Call an ambulance, quick!
No need. I'll drive her to hospital
It's acute appendicitis. I'll stay until the operation is over
Don't forget to give Jielun his medicine. He isn't well today
I've brought Keke's stuff, Mum
-She hasn't come out? -Not yet
I don't know what the doctors are doing. I have to wait and wait and wait!
It's just appendicitis. Keke will be OK after the op
Indeed! See if you'd be OK if your tummy was opened up!
This is no time to fight. You've been keeping vigil here. Eat something!
Your sister is being operated on and you still have the mood to eat!
I just don't want you to starve. You're simply... Take it or leave it!
I'll go and get something to drink!
Mum, Keli meant no harm. Don't be angry anymore
You've come to? You were unconscious for so long. Want some water?
Keke, you've come to? He's here!
What are you shouting for? Keke needs to rest!
-He's here! -Who? The president?
It's Ruisheng!
You called him? How smart of you
No. You didn't ask me to call him. Why would I dare do that?
It wasn't you who called him?
Forget it. I don't want to see him anyway
That's what you claim, but you can't get over him
The fact that he came shows that you've won
Miss Fan, someone asked me to give this bouquet to you
Where is he?
You mean the man from the florist's? He's gone
Florist's?
It must be from Ruisheng
It's the bank
Oh yes, the bank manager called to inform you the meeting on Monday...
has been changed to the afternoon
I told him you'd been hospitalized
It is from the bank. Where is Ruisheng then?
What's taking him so long? Do you think he can't find this ward?
Did you tell him which ward Keke is in?
No. I saw him from afar so I quickly came in to inform you
Weren't you stupid! You should've dragged him here when you saw him!
The hospital is so big. How will he find Keke?
Don't worry, I'll go and find him
Auntie! How come you're here?
I should be the one to ask you that. Why won't you go and see Keke?
Keke? What has happened to her?
She had an op but instead of visiting her, you're having tea with this woman!
Keke has been hospitalized? I didn't know about that
Stop pretending! Yeah, you're seeing this woman, that's why!
-How is Keke? -Save your crocodile tears!
So what she said was true
You let her down. That's why she had appendicitis
She even nearly died! Are you happy now?
Keke, you were right. Ruisheng is a playboy
You just broke up and he's already seeing He Wei
It's good that you left him
I just don't know what he sees in that woman
-Mum, don't go on anymore -Why not?
What are you doing here?
Ruisheng went to the old folk's home this morning
I had gastritis so he accompanied me here to see a doctor
He really didn't know Keke had been hospitalized or he'd...
Who are you to talk here? Can't Ruisheng explain everything himself?
What she said is true, Auntie
It's all your fault! Keke said you often complain of gastritis
You're just feigning illness to steal someone's boyfriend!
Please mind your words, Auntie
She only had gastritis and you accompanied her here
Keke was admitted but where were you?
If I hadn't given you a scolding outside, would you have visited her?
To think I asked Keke to be nicer to you. So the problem lies with you!
I really didn't know she was admitted or I'd have visited her sooner
And see her in agony?
So you're kind, and you're a voluntary worker at the old folk's home, eh?
You just wanted to steal Keke's boyfriend
You're not here to visit her but to flaunt your `victory'!
Don't say any more!
Thanks for visiting me. Well, your purpose is served. Please leave
I'm tired. I want to rest
You heard her. Leave!
Take it back! We don't want it!
Sorry, I keep causing misunderstandings between you and Keke
I'll explain everything to her
I should be the one to say sorry
I've broken up with Keke
But you were blamed for nothing and her mum even got the wrong idea of you
It's OK. It's just a misunderstanding
But you'd been seeing each other since you were in campus
Isn't it a pity to break up?
I could tell from the look on Keke's face that you still mean a lot to her
Your relationship can still be saved
There had been problems in our relationship all along actually
But everyone was used to seeing us together
I was used to it too
But now I realize it's not a question of getting used to in a relationship,
but rather whether you're happy or not
How you feel is really important
When one party always has to please the other who's unreasonable,
it's really tiring
But...
I believe my decision is the right one
I'll get it. It must be Lan-jie asking us to go back to work tomorrow
Keep an eye on the fire
Just keep an eye on it. Don't touch the bird's nest
Was it Auntie?
No. It was a prankster. He just wouldn't say a word
When Keke is well, I'll ask her to write a complaint letter to the authorities
Kelian, the rock s...
I told you to mop the floor. What are you doing?
I'm just going to clean the phone
But you haven't finished mopping the floor yet
There's so much water on the floor. What if Keke steps on it and slips?
Why are you staring into space?
-Where's the rock sugar? -In the 3rd rack in the fridge
I mean...
'Let's meet for dinner at 7'
-What were you looking at? -Nothing
What's there to see in a car park?
Crazy girl. Where are the red dates?
Red dates...
-Keke has woken up? -No
-Why did you change? -I'm going for class
I've fixed dinner and also prepared something for Keke
Don't go for class. Keke needs to be taken care of
And I seem to have a headache. Stay at home to help me. Don't go out
I just added water to it
I've set the timer too. Add some more water after an hour
It was boiled water I added. I just filled the air pot too
Keke is having fish porridge for dinner. I've cut the fish
You just have to put it in the pot to cook it. But don't over-cook
Keke wants oatmeal porridge for breakfast tomorrow. I've prepared the minced meat
You just have to take it out and cook it together with the oats
What's with you today? You follow me about and won't stop nagging
I know you've got everything ready
You want to go for class and be a scholar? Go, go, go! Give me a break
-I'm off now -Go!
You kept putting food in my plate. Are you full?
Yes. What else would you like to eat? Ice-cream?
No. If I put on too much weight, I'll have to go on a diet
Come on, you're so skinny. You should eat more or I'll feel hurt
How is Keke?
She's given a week's medical leave
We can take care of her because of the suspension
But because of the suspension, we couldn't see each other for a week
Come one, we'll be back at work tomorrow
-I wonder how the others are -They miss you, I'm sure
No wonder she wasn't worried that the factory's licence was suspended
She even said she'd get another job. So she's in cahoots with Shijian
You mean Shijian was the...?
It's you. Looking for my mum?
-Where did you go? -I went shopping
Aren't you worried about the suspension? You still had the mood to buy things
So what if our licence is suspended? It's not an offence to buy things
We saw everything. You were with Shijian
That doesn't mean anything. Why are you together too?
I see, you were dating. If Fatty Zhen finds out, you'll be in the soup
Don't talk rot
If you want me to keep mum, stay out of my affairs
The two of us have nothing to hide
But it's not the case for you and Shijian
I don't know what you're talking about!
Shijian gave you a big sum of money!
Stay out of my affairs!
Fine, we'll stay out of your affairs. We'll get the police to interfere
I'll ask Lan-jie to call the police
If you're found to have ganged up with Shijian, you'll have to go to jail!
-You won't talk? I'll call the police! -Don't!
Don't be so fierce
Tell us the truth. We'll help you
It was Shijian who told me to put the 'things' in the kueh...
so that the factory had to cease operation
He also promised to hire my mum and me and pay us a few hundred bucks more...
when he opens a branch
I didn't know things would get so serious
How stupid can you be! How could you believe Shijian's...
Go back to the factory tomorrow and tell Lan-jie the truth
Clear the factory's reputation and nobody will hold it against you
-Hua-shen, where's Caixia? -She was still around just now
Did you see her?
She probably has gone to hide herself in the Ladies
I'll go and look for her
Good morning
Hello. Our licence was suspended for a week for violating the rules
We can resume operation today finally
I hope from now on, you'll work with one heart
Put the past behind you. Don't let it happen again
No. We must find the culprit!
I'll take it that it was unintentional
Unless the truth is out, all of us are suspects. It's unfair to me
That's right, we must get to the bottom of the matter
Auntie, Caixia has something to say to you
Say it!
What's going on?
Hair, wire and cockroaches were found in our kueh
-She was... -He told me to do it!
Hair, wire and cockroaches were found in our kueh
-She was... -He told me to do it!
Caixia, tell us how Lion King made you do it!
He said Zhen-jie should be taught a lesson for bullying my mum
Lan-jie was particular about quality and Zhen-jie usually didn't check
If we put some hair in the kueh and customers complained,
Zhen-jie would be held responsible
He failed to fix Zhen-jie the first time, so he tried to do it himself,
but was caught red-handed
He dared not do it again, so he made me
He threatened to tell Lan-jie I was the culprit if I didn't do as he said
Don't spout nonsense. Was it really Lion King who told you to do it?
Of course. He even called personally to ask the inspectors to come
Caixia is just a young girl
If Lion King hadn't forced her, would she have done it?
I knew that scoundrel was out to set me up
Lan-jie was kind to let him off the other time
Heaven is fair. He's caught in his own trap!
I'll see how he's punished!
Caixia, why are you so foolish? Why didn't you tell me about it?
Lion King held my arm tightly and showed me such sinister looks
I was really scared
You're lying!
Every word I said is true. As you know, Lion King is fierce and has a loud voice
He's at loggerheads with Zhen-jie
He hates her for bullying us, so he used me to teach her a lesson
He shouldn't have resorted to such a way to stand up for us
He'll ruin our factory's reputation
In any case, he shouldn't have made Caixia do it
He didn't force Caixia
This wasn't what you told me and Lion King last night
I thought you went for class last night? How come you were with Lion King?
I'm not surprised you're siding with him. You're dating him
Oh, I see. I ran into you and Lion King holding hands last night
You were afraid I'd tell Zhen-jie, so you tried to have me fired today
That way, nobody would know about it
So the two of you...
You knew he tried to set me up yet you still went out with him!
So that was what it was all about. The truth is out now
You were Lion King's target
But for fear that his romance with Kelian might be found out,
he made Caixia take the rap!
Lion King isn't that sort!
I've brought you up for nothing
You knew he set me up, yet you still dated him!
Stop it! We haven't even found out the truth!
Stay out of my family affairs!
Well?
I've been sacked!
How come?
Congrats! Trying to set me up? Heaven has punished you now!
Why, Lion King?
Come with me!
Lion King, I've seen your true colours! Don't pretend to help me ever again!
Don't think I don't know who you are, Lion King!
I'm warning you. Stop harassing my daughter or I'll call the police!
I'll sue you for sexual harassment! Darn you!
I'll see how you can call!
Dinner is ready, Mum
It's your favourite - pig's trotters
I also put a lot of peanuts and they're cooked till they're soft
Mum, go ahead and scold me if you're angry. But you mustn't skip meals
I'll get the rice for you
Mum, you didn't even have lunch
Keke, Mum dotes on you the most. Could you talk her round for me?
Sis, you should be big enough to know what you should and shouldn't do
Besides, he's Fat Mama's enemy. Stop seeing him
But he likes me a lot
I also like him very much
But Fat Mama doesn't like him. Don't you know her well enough?
There's no point trying to talk her round
But...
But what? I'm ill and I still have to listen to all your arguments
Knowing he's on bad terms with Fat Mama, you shouldn't have started dating him
Just break up with him. What's the big deal?
You made it sound so easy
But you haven't got over Ruisheng
Don't compare me with you. I'm different from you
I long wanted to break up with him. Would I still think of him?
Time to take your medicine
I want to rest. Leave me alone
