Switch of Fate
Episode 4
What do you have to say that we must all gather here
and why is this so formal?
Say it.
It's not much.
I just want to say... I've decided to let Cheng have Rendong.
What? No! You can't!
If he has her, then who will do the chores at home?
Who will make dinner? Who will wash the clothes?
Of course, you!
B-But... who will look for the herbs?
I will. I will go to the mountains.
Shouldn't you be resting right now?
I'm fine.
I've already recovered pretty well in this time.
If there really is a problem, won't Jiaping still be here?
Me? Dad, I can't go!
I still have to go to school! It's impossible.
- Not going, no! - Come here.
Are you going to do it now?
How about you? Anything else to say?
If you don't say anything then I take it that you all agree.
Since there are no oppositions, it is decided.
Dad, I beg you! Please don't send me away! Dad!
- Exactly! I beg you! - Please! Dad!
Shut up!
I have the final say in this house!
It is decided.
Dad! Dad! Dad!
Dad! Dad! I beg you, please don't!
Don't send me away, Dad!
Dad, don't send me away!
I will be good!
Dad!
Dad, don't send me away.
I will be a good girl!
Dad! Dad!
Dad, do you really hate me that much?
Say no more!
You are correct! I hate you.
I hate seeing you.
Every time I see you,
I will remember that you stole and ate my 100-year old fruitwood.
You ate away my happy life.
You ruined my entire lifetime! Do you know that?
So I hate you! I will make you be a maid!
So that you can earn a lot of money and pay me back for being good to you!
Do you understand?
- Dad! - Do you understand?
Answer me! Do you understand?
Understand?
Dad, I beg you! Don't leave.
Dad! Don't leave!
Let go!
- Dad! Dad! - Sister!
Dad!
Dad, don't send me away!
Zhengding.
Wait. Why are you leaving when you see me?
Is there a problem?
Your wound, it isn't too serious, right?
I am fine. Thank you for asking.
Jingyi, what are you doing?
Old Madam, you came.
- Have a seat. - Yes.
Making new clothes?
For Qiangwei?
How does it look?
It looks lovely!
Jingyi, when you have time, can you make a pair for our Dr. Gu?
Yes,
but I've made one for him in the past
and he hasn't worn it once.
I'm not sure if he likes it.
Why would he not like it?
He hasn't worn it because you were the one who made it. He's cherishing it.
Jingyi, although you are Qiangwei's nanny,
but in our Gu family,
every single matter you have taken care of perfectly.
I am sincerely grateful to you.
Tell me,
what do you think of our Gu Dafu.
Dr. Gu is dependable, reliable, and loved by everyone.
Not to say, he's really skilled in medicine and he always treats his patients with patience and care.
I believe, he is a good man with honesty and fortitude.
Look at you, praising him so nicely!
With your words, it seems your opinion of him is pretty good.
So this matter will be easy to accomplish.
What matter are you talking about?
In the room?
Please accept my flowers.
I...
Why are you giving me these flowers?
Come with me.
Take this.
Jingyi, marry me, please.
No! No, no, no, no...
I can't agree to that.
Why?
You've always treated me well.
I believe that deep inside, you do like me. Right?
It's not like that, Manager Fang.
You are considered a member of Gu family.
You've always looked out for me.
But... But...
I know now, is it because of that woman's babbling?
Jingyi, please believe me.
There really isn't anything between her and I. We don't have a child!
It's not that! It's really not that!
I have already forgotten about that matter.
It isn't about that matter?
Then why aren't you willing to marry me?
We are just friends.
There is no romantic interest.
How can I marry you?
Could it be...
you like... you like Dr. Gu?
I don't believe it. I don't believe it!
I know that your love for me exceeds that of Dr. Gu.
Is it because the Madam forced you?
It really isn't like that.
But Old Madam did, in fact, talk about this with me today.
Afterward, having thought about it carefully,
from the time I first entered the Gu family and saw Dr. Gu,
I felt like he was elegant and cultured.
He treated others with compassion and kindness. So I unknowingly...
So you ended up liking him?
You fell in love with him?
I understand.
I truly don't measure up with Dr. Gu.
Don't say that, Manager Fang.
I truly do believe that you are also very talented.
I think this may all be fate.
Sorry
I bothered you.
About what happened today...
Oh, do not worry. I will not tell anyone about today.
And thank you for taking care of me so much.
Thank you.
Qingyuantang
Son, what are you busy with?
Mother?
Why did you come?
I wanted to talk with you about Jingyi.
Jingyi?
What is it?
Nothing really.
I remember that you told me before
that you have a good impression of Jingyi.
I want you and Jingyi to get married.
Mother...
- will it be proper to do so? - How can it not be?
Before, you argued that Qiangwei was too little to remarry,
but now Qiangwei has grown up.
Qiangwei is the only child in our family.
It is time for another child to be born.
Otherwise how will I be able to go to netherworld
and face our ancestors?
Mother, do not talk like this.
Actually,
I want another son.
But Jingyi...
Don't worry. Let Mother take care of this.
Why?
Why is it like this?
Why? Why? Why? Why?
Why?
What?
Such a thing happened?
Alright.
I'll go investigate.
Alright. Thank you, Teacher.
Sister-in-law, did Zhengding's teacher call?
Yeah.
Zhengding's teacher called.
He said Zhengding put a cockroach in his classmate's sandwich.
Those classmates have a stomach ache and they were sent to the hospital.
This... how could this happen?
This can't happen. Zhengding is not that type of kid.
They must have made it up.
I also think that, too.
But...
Mom.
Auntie.
Son, let Mom ask you.
Tell me the truth.
Did you have your classmate eat a sandwich with a cockroach?
Yes, I did it.
Why did you do it?
Say something.
I know. Zhengding did that because his classmates hit him.
That's right. That's the case.
Is that right?
Is it because they were bullying you?
Zhengding! Zhengding!
Zhengding, you're back from school?
What's wrong with the child today?
Dad, you're back.
Where's sister?
Where's Rendong?
Who knows? When you wanted her to go to the city,
who knows where she went?
She only knows how to be lazy all day long.
She won't even come back to cook.
We might as well let her go to work as a servant.
At least our home will have someone to support us financially.
Then, we won't have to worry about starving.
What is wrong with you?
Everybody, sorry.
This child doesn't know anything.
Please forgive him.
We'll let this go.
But, watch your kid next time.
You must be responsible for the children's medical fees.
Alright. We will deal with it.
Why should we?
Our Zhengding didn't do anything wrong.
They should watch their kids.
What attitude is that?
Our kids are in the hospital because of your child.
What reasoning is yours?
You really are the offenders playing the victim.
Do you think my son is like yours, mischievous and unruly?
My son is a good student.
If it wasn't your kids bullying my kid, he wouldn't do anything.
How could you say that?
If it wasn't your kid that put cockroaches in my child's breakfast, how could they be like this?
That's so hilarious.
My kid put a cockroach in his own breakfast. What's wrong with that?
If it wasn't your kids stealing his breakfast, how could they end up here?
Moreover, last time your child bullied mine, I didn't even pursue it.
You should tone down your whining and sighing.
So you're saying our kids deserve it.
I didn't say anything.
Let me tell you, you are behaving like a 3-year-old person yourself.
If your kid is like this now,
he will turn out terrible in the future.
- He has no upbringing! - Who has no upbringing?
You have no upbringing.
Your son took my son's breakfast away, is that how he was brought up?
Do you call that upbringing?
I see that you are only good at pointing fingers at others to grow up.
You are behaving like true bandits. You follow those who scream louder (literally: If the upper beam is not straight, the lower beam will be crooked)
How dare you talk like that?
How can you be so unreasonable?
I am yelling at you since you are yelling at me!
Are you trying to shield your child by doing this?
Who is shielding their children, huh?
Let me say something. Alright, alright. Do not fight.
Stop fighting!
Can I say something?
I am Qiangwei's nanny.
We have been to school to look for two students, Wang Qiang and Zhang Sheng.
Teacher said they're at the hospital, so we came.
Why are you looking for our kids?
They bullied our girl.
- Listen, listen! - What?
Did you guys forget?
Our stomachs hurt.
Not saying anything? You said we have no upbringing. But who has no upbringing in the end?
Buns for sale!
Boss, are the veggies fresh?
Fresh! Buy more.
This is fresh.
Alright.
It's enough.
Let me ask, have you seen Rendong?
No.
Rice for sale!
Have you seen Rendong?
No.
Let me ask.
Have you seen Rendong?
Really?
All morning?
Bro, have you seen my kid?
No.
Rendong!
Rendong! Wake up!
Rendong!
Wake up!
Dad.
You drank wine?
You little girl, why are you drinking?
I'm in a bad mood.
You adults
drink when you're in a bad mood.
Wine tastes terrible.
I took a sip and I threw up.
Why do adults love drinking?
You don't need to understand such a thing.
Why do you need to understand?
I'll punish you the next time you drink.
But Dad, you won't get the chance.
Because I'm going to Hanzhou as a maid.
I was originally buying this wine for you,
but I was in a bad mood.
So, I sat here for a while.
I didn't expect to fall asleep.

Little girl, do you have something to tell me?
Go ahead.
I'm listening.
I really...
I really want to tell you about my grieviances.
I know
I am not your biological daughter.
But,
I always saw you
as my real father.
I owe you guys a lot.
So,
no matter what you guys make me do, I'm willing to do it.
I have no objections.
I only hoped
our family's circumstances
would improve.
I hoped
our family could live happy days.
But,
why do you hate me so much? Why do you want to kick me out?
Why won't you accept me?
I worked very hard.
Why do you still hate me?
Dad.
Rendong, it is because I saw you suffering so much.
It's too tough for you in this home.
My heart feels for you.
I don't want to see you suffer like this.
That is why Dad will force you to leave.
Rendong...
Dad...
You better go back and pack.
Why pack?
I have come to an agreement with my brother's wife.
Go to Hanzhou quickly to be a maid.
Mother...
Father...
Did you pack all your things?
Uhm.
You know your tendons are still not healed properly
yet you are adamant to send Rendong away. If she is gone then will all chores befall on me?
Stop being troublesome!
Are you reluctant to let Rendong go or are do you not want to work?
Since we are at it, if Rendong goes away, will you perhaps
take him to accompany you to gather medicine herbs in mountains?
Mother, did you mean me?
I have to go to school. How could I go to the mountains?
Look, this is your son. Look what he is interested in.
Are you done?
Father... Mother... do not quarrel.
Mother, do not blame Father. It was my own wish to go.
When I earn a lot of money, I will come back home.
That would be even better.
Father...
Mother...
You have to take good care of yourself
also you, brother and sister...
you both...
Sister, I don't want you to go.
Jiayan,
- do not cry! - Sister,
do not go!
Jiayan, Sister will earn money to buy you some sweets to eat.
I don't want sweets, Sister!
Sister, do not go.
Jiayan,
your sister is leaving.
- Don't! - Let go!
Jiayan!
- Sister! - Are you both dead?
Pull them apart!
Come, come, come. Jiayan, be a good girl.
- Do not cry. - Jiayan!
Jiayan!
- Jiayan! - Sister, do not go!
Jiayan!
Jiayan! Jiayan!
Jiayan!
Sister, do not go!
Sister!
How beautiful.
It is here.
Is there anyone?
Open up!
Is there anyone?
Who are you looking for?
I came from the neighboring village, Yandang Shan, to become Aunt's servant.
You are really small. How could they send in a child?
I am sorry, we have already found a servant.
Wait, wait! Aunt, open up. Open up!
Open up! Open up!
What should I do?
Here, here. Come.
Alright.
Han Chong, what is it?
A'de Ge, how long have you been here?
More than a year already.
- What? So long? - Yes.
Then will I also be here for such a long time?
I do not know it. But the boss said we all need to start from doing small things.
It is very important to him.
So all the new staff must start with making deliveries.
Is that so?
I came here to sell medicine, not to do deliveries.
What should I do?
Come, Han Chong. Help me.
Coming!
What should I do?
If I go back home Father will definitely curse me.

My bundle!
My bundle...
My bundle... where did it go?
Bundle...
Where did it go?
What can be done now?
Alright, come back next time.
Hey, Boss.
One pound of wine.
- One pound? - Yes, one pound.
Alright.
What is it?
Is your daughter that normally comes not feeling well?
She is not unwell.
Everyone else knows about it, but not you.
She is not my biological daughter.
We are old acquaintances and yet you hid this from me.
You should be more clear about it. Even if Rendong is not your biological daughter
but there is no one as frugal in filial piety towards you as her.
She knew she would be going away so she came here to tell me
that if you were to buy something without money, I should give you a credit.
She would pay me back after earning money.
Take it.
Such a good kid!
If I had such a girl, how good would it be.
Take care.

Why do you not want me?
Do not tell me it is because I am too small to do chores?
Why are the people in the city so unfriendly?
What should I do?
My stomach aches,
but all my money was in the bundle.
I cannot even go back to my family now.
Where should I go? Where?
I am homeless. ♫ After you left, I realized you left behind all tenderness ♫

Congratulations! Congratulations!
Thank you! Thank you!
Doctor Gu!
- Doctor Gu!
Mr. Ma, thank you, thank you.
- I am here to congratulate you. - Thank you, thank you.
Doctor Gu, a girl fainted at the doors of your Qingyuantang.
She almost seems to be frozen to death.
Fang Cheng,
go and take a look.
No need.
Mother, since it happened at the Qingyuantang's door,
- I will go myself. - Alright, then go and take a quick look.
- A'xiang, come and take a look with me. -Alright.
Make room, make room, make room. Doctor Gu came.
Make room, quick. Doctor Gu,
take a look.
It's her?
Help her in.
Does she still need rescuing?
No, I have just rubbed her limbs.
She collapsed because of hunger and cold.
She is very weak now.
I will help her with some acupuncture, make her drink some medicine
and rest a bit and she should be fine.
That's good then. I see she is almost like our Qiangwei.
How could she faint like this?
How about I go back and bring her something to eat?
Doctor Gu, the warehouse has some deliveries scheduled for today. I will go to the warehouse now.
Alright, go ahead.
This child... it really seems like we are fated to meet.
So cold...Why is it so cold?
I am exhausted.
Rendong is definitely living great and eating good food in the city.
All home chores are now done by me.
I really should have not let her go.
You are talking nonsense all day.
Look at yourself.
Who should really be blamed for the state you are living in now?
Constant nagger.
You are definitely taking after your mother.
You have the nerve to say that to me?
Are you that great father yourself? Drinking all day long,
not collecting herbs.
Who will provide for our keep?
Do I not provide for this family? Do I not earn the keep?
If I had not provided it you would have starved long ago.
You... You always get wildly drunk.
Wildly drunk! Do not drink anymore!
Give it back to me.
I am not giving it back.
You... You are so high-spirited, huh?
I said I am not giving it back. Not giving it back!
I want my sister...
Will you give it back or not?
I will not.
- Will you give it back or not? - I will!
I want my sister...
I will kill you!
What are you doing, you two?
What are you doing?
I want to drink wine and she is like this!
- Is Rendong back? - Sister-in-law, what do you mean?
Has Rendong not gone to the city so you can give her a job as a servant?
Exactly.
You do not know all, right?
The home I introduced Rendong to
said she is too small and ordered her to go back home.
Father... where did my sister go?
You woke up.
Excuse me, where am I?
This is Gu Mansion.
Come, sit down.
This mansion is owned by Qingyuantang's master, Doctor Gu.
How are you? Is everything alright?
How much is the fleeceflower root?
The small one is fifty cents. These three big ones a dollar each.
It is you, Master.
- Take him to make up a prescription. - Alright.
Come, this way.
Come in.
What is it? Do you feel better now?
Uhm. It turns out Master is in reality Doctor Gu.
Thank you for saving my life.
There is no need for that.
We have seen each other several times already. it is truly fate.
Oh, right? How did it come to you passing out at my door?
That day...
So it was like this.
Doctor Gu, may I ask if Qingyuantang does not need any servants?
I can do many things.
Would you please allow me to work here?
Another one?
This child is really small. What should we do?
Accommodate and feed her for free?
Mother, she said she is willing to do many things.
Besides, I just married Jingyi.
Did you not want Jingyi to get pregnant soon?
This way we will have someone to serve her.
Grandmother, I think Father is right.
Do not let Aunt help me to groom myself or cook.
Just order the girl to do it.
Really?
In truth, Rendong is around the same age as her.
She could be Qiangwei's playmate.
I do not want her as my playmate.
Mother, so is it settled then?
Alright, I am in no place to manage your affairs.
Do what you want.
Honey, let's go eat.
Doctor Gu...
Doctor Gu!
- What is it? - Hello, Doctor Gu.
You both came. Let's have dinner.
Doctor Gu, in fact I came to discuss something with you.
- Speak. - Han Chong is with us for a long time now.
I would like him to help out in Qingyuantang
to learn about pharmacology and medicine,
so he can later help out with selling the medicine.
It is a good idea.
Since it is the case, leave Han Chong at our house.
Thank you, Doctor Gu. Thank you, Doctor Gu.
But... what about Old Madam?
Leave Mother to me.
Thank you, Doctor Gu. Please go eat.
You have to work hard.
What happened? What is it?
You...! What are you doing here? What are you doing here?
Old Madam, what happened?
It is all probably a misunderstanding! Old Madam, do not be so agitated.
Look what people you bring to this house!
It is a misunderstanding, Old Madam.
I was about to take a bath, when she suddenly came in!
Is that true?
Why did you not lock the door?
I have never locked the door in the bath!
Why did you not knock before entering?
Do you still want to argue?
Alright, Mother.
Han Chong, there were no girls in your previous living environment.
It was normal not to lock the door.
But since you are here now, you cannot behave against the rules.
- Do you understand? - I do.
When have this kind of people respected any rules?
