Switch of Fate Episode 05
Why didn't you lock the door when bathing?
I have never locked the door when bathing!
Why did you not knock before entering?
You still want to argue?
Alright, Mother.
Han Chong, there were no girls in your previous living environment.
It was okay not to lock the doors. But since you are here, you need to respect the rules. Do you understand?
I understand.
When have those kind of people respected any rules?
Alright, alright, Mother.
It was just a misunderstanding. Go and rest early.
Be more careful!
Qiangwei, let's go.
If there is nothing else, let's go back to the room.
I am sorry to drag you into this.
But I will be really careful from now on.
Jiang Bo.
Doctor Gu.
Han Chong, from now on
you will learn in Qingyuantang.
This is Jiang Bo.
Apart from me, he is the most experienced in Chinese traditional medicine
and he clearly knows how to use it to achieve best results.
In a few days he will be ready to open his own pharmacy.
You have to listen and learn from him.
Okay. I will definitely listen and learn from him.
I will leave this child in your hands. Teach him all of your knowledge.
Of course, Doctor Gu.
Thank you, Doctor Gu. Goodbye, Doctor Gu.
Is there anything here that I can help out with?
Do you want to teach me how to make medicine first?
It is too early to teach you how to make medicine.
You should help me wrap these medicines first.
Help you to wrap them?
So pretty.
How is it? Does it fit?
It fits perfectly. I haven't had a hot shower in such a long time.
I feel so lucky.
It's bad. It's bad. I have not let my family know I am here.
I have to write a letter to let them know.
Sorry, Auntie.
I don't have money but can I borrow money to buy a postage stamp?
When I receive my salary I'll return the money.,
Okay.
Thank you, Auntie.
I didn't come here to learn how to fold bags of medicine.
They make me do all this useless things all the time.
Han Chong, if you don't respect how to fold bags of medicine, how can you learn medicine?
I didn't come to learn how to fold bags of medicine.
Look at your attitude! I can clearly see that you do not even want to learn medicine!
Immediately go to do chores.
- Come here. - Let go!
Let go. Don't pull me.
Why is this back so familiar looking?
Forget it. I should hurry and go send the letter.
Why does it look like that Stinky Girl?
Why is she wearing that kind of clothes?
Also she wouldn't show up here.
I don't know how that Stinky Girl is here right now.
Would she still be abused by her mother?
So pretty.
Take care. Take care.
It is still early. I will go and buy something special for Qiangwei.
Why is it you?
Aiyah. Don't be so gruff.
What do you want?
You look like you are pretty off well right now.
What? Forgot what happened between us?
If you forgot about me, that's okay.
But you aren't even a little worried about your daughter?
Stop speaking nonsense. We don't have a daughter.
You are really ruthless!
Even if you don't admit it, what happened between us is still reality.
Also she already came to the city.
But she went missing. Wang Yao has been looking for her for several days.
The city is really different from my hometown.
Be careful! Move!
Are you blind?
Thank you.
This person is so weird.
There are still some true humans in this city.
I'm back.
You're back? Let your mom make you some food.
Come. What do you want to eat?
I'm not hungry. I don't want to eat.
Grandma. Auntie. I'm back.
Who told you to wear my clothes?
This... Aren't these clothes that you didn't want anymore?
Who says I didn't want those clothes?
What's wrong? What's wrong? Why are you guys arguing?
She dares to wear my clothes.
Aren't these the clothes that you don't want anymore? That's why I gave them to Rendong.
Even if I wanted to throw my clothes away, I wouldn't give them to a servant.
Qiangwei, how can you speak like that?
This is too unreasonable.
Are you trying to rebel?
Are there no adults in the house?
Let me tell you as long as I am still alive there isn't anybody that can scold Qiangwei.
Same with you. Why would you give Qiangwei's clothes to a servant?
I...
You, take those clothes off.
Stop.
Wash my clothes and then bring them back.
Eat a piece of chicken.
Zhengding, how are studies going? Is it hard?
No, it's not hard. I got a 100 in every class.
Really?
Listen. Listen. That's my son. He is really promising.
He is also my son, my pride and joy!
I know. I know.
Son, Father is very proud of you.
Let's eat.
Lu Yao, how are your homework assignments? Are they hard?
Mother, why are you asking me these questions when I am eating?
You just know how to eat, eat, eat.
I work so hard to bring you up! Should you not resolve to improve yourself?
Ronghua,
you don't have to scold at Lu Yao. Lu Yao is a girl.
It doesn't matter if she does good in school.
As long as when she grows up like me
and finds a good husband to marry.
Hello. I wanted to ask have you seen a small girl by herself?
- No. - Oh, okay. Thank you.
Come to eat some noodles!
Big Brother, have you seen a girl about this tall?
- Have you seen her? - No. - Eh? - No.
Oh, she is alone. You haven't seen her all day?
No, I haven't.
- Boss! A bowl of noodles! - Coming!
The city is so big. Where should I look for her?
Oh, Rendong. Where did you go to?
Is that not this stinky girl I saw in the morning?
I am sorry. I did not do it on purpose. I am sorry!
Stinky girl! It is really you!
I am a servant at Gu Mansion.
Are you a servant, too?
I did not come here to be a servant.
I came here to learn how to make medicine and make money.
I will have my own big business in the future.
What a joke.
You should look at your position first.
You are talking nonsense.
Hey, you should not look down on people.
Do not think you are spoiled and stronger than me!
Hey, did you wash your clothes?
Yes, just a moment ago.
Why are you dillydallying so much?
You should work more quickly.
When you see me later,
remember to call me "Miss."
Why should we call you a miss?
Do not think that you can bully us just because we live in your house.
What is the connection between you two?
I told it to her. Why are you butting in?
You said it to both of us.
Oh, right.
It seems that with your common status you would make a great pair!
How can you say something like this?
She really thinks she is Miss High and Mighty.
Look how she is carrying herself. Truly annoying.
Do you not like her also?
In truth I am more annoyed that she said we are a pair.
What is this stinky girl saying?
Father, why are you still not resting?
Come here.
I heard you made things difficult for Rendong today.
Why did you do it?
She did not get my permission
so why was she wearing my clothes?
Qiangwei, I have been teaching you from childhood
that the most important thing is to be good
and be willing to help other people
rather than putting the blame on the others and bullying them.
You should know
that your current living environment
might be better than that of other people,
but it does not belong to you.
It was given to you by me.
If you were replaced by someone else today,
what would you think?
Father, I was wrong.
I am willing to give my clothes to Rendong.
That's my good daughter.
It is good that you understand.
But I still want you to apologize to Rendong.
I will do it, Father.
But, if I give my clothes to rendong, I will have less of them.
Can you not give me few new clothes?
Alright, alright. I promise.
Thank you, Father.
You...
Don't do it again, alright?
Including the ones I washed a moment ago, they are all washed now.
I am sorry.
I did not think you would receive a scolding for this.
Auntie, do not say so.
I am very grateful to you already for allowing me to work here.
Besides you and Doctor Gu are both good to me.
Listen to me, alright?
Doctor Gu.
I am sorry, I should have not wear your clothes.
It's nothing.
In truth, it should be me who should apologize.
I should have not said those words to you.
I will give these clothes to you, alright?
Keep them.
- Really? - Really.
That's great! I have new clothes to wear!
Thank you!
Thank you, Doctor Gu! Thank you, Auntie!
I have new clothes to wear!
They are all so good to me. Am I dreaming?
I am not dreaming!
That's great! I need to work hard to repay them.
Is the real Doctor Gu's daughter really missing?
Is she finally dead or still alive?
Good morning, Auntie!
Good morning.
Did you make this breakfast spread yourself?
Yes, I did it.
From now on you do not work so hard on cooking, Auntie.
Oh, right. I have not brought out the porridge. I will get it.
Try harder. Have you not eaten?
So much time has passed and still there is no news about Rendong.
Are you not even worried?
How come am I not worried?
Are you worried about it?
You are just lying here like a grandma,
forcing Jiayan to serve you.
I am really worried. I am lying here and trying to think what to do.
Fine, then tell me. Tell me. What did you come up with?
I was just thinking that this city is so big. Where should we look for her?
I see you still talk nonsense. You are sick in the head.
- What did you say? - I said you are sick in the head.
- What did you say? - I said you are sick in the head!
It is you who are sick! I think you have been bitten by a dog!
Bitten by what? It is you who is stubbornly biting me all the time.
Are you not trying to find a reason to argue with me?
Let me tell you, I will gladly quarrel with you!
- Father! - Why are you crying?
What's with this hysteria? Why are you always taking it out on a kid?
What is it?
Father! Rendong sent a letter. Take a look!
- Let me see! Let me see! - Father, take a look.
Dear Father and Mother,
After coming to town
I found the home that Aunt introduced me to,
but they told me I was too small to work there
and denied my entrance there.
I returned to the station,
not knowing what to do or where to go, just wandering around.
Unexpectedly, some thieves stole my bundle.
I was so helpless I could only sleep on the streets.
I was so cold and hungry that I collapsed at a street corner.
Fortunately, a good man saved me. It was Doctor Gu from Qingyuantang.
After a few small twists and turns, I am now working at Qingyuantang.
Please do not worry. I am alright now.
I will send my wages back home.
Wishing you, Mother and Father,
as well as brother and sister to stay happy. Your Rendong.
Father, what exactly did sister write?
Your sister wrote that she is now working in a place called Qingyuantang
and that everything is fine.
She asked us not to worry.
It is great that sister is fine.
I knew nothing would happen to Rendong.
Old man, what did she also write?
She also wrote that she will send her wages to us.
That's great.
This damned girl.
She has been gone for so many days and just sent the letter now. We have gone white with worry.
Stop cursing her.
Have you not heard that nothing happened?
I am going out.
Where are you going?
For a drink.
For a drink again?
Qingyuantang
Good morning, Uncles.
Who are you, little girl? Why did you come here?
Are you not that little girl who fainted at our doorstep?
I was me who was ordered by Doctor Gu to carry you inside.
Why did you come here? Do you feel better?
So it was you who helped me together with Doctor Gu. I really thank you.
Doctor Gu has allowed me to work in his house and do some chores for the family.
So I came here to see if there is anything I could help you with.
Little Miss, everything here, from top to bottom, from left to right, is connected to traditional Chinese medicine.
Tell me, what can you help us with?
You are cutting medicine. I will cut it. Come, I will help you.
Not bad, not bad.
Hello, Uncle Jiang.
Hey, Girl. How come you are here?
Who gave you those clothes?
- Are you done with today's chores? - I finished them all.
Is there anything else I need to do?
This book is about the medicinal efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine.
Return it to me when you are done with it.
You say that these were cut by Rendong?
I did not think she could cut medicine so well.
She also possesses a little understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.
She did so many things that I ordered her to come here.
I grew up doing those things, so I am familiar with them.
Doctor Gu! Doctor Gu, there is an emergency, you need to take a look at right away.
Alright.
- Coal poisoning? - Yes, yes, Doctor Gu.
I am begging you. You must save my son's life.
Rendong, help me.
Rub his tights to boost the blood circulation.
Doctor Gu, you are truly a great doctor.
If you did not save him in time, I am sure he would be dead.
What great doctor? When you fainted at my doorstep
I also helped you by rubbing your tights and arms to boost the blood circulation.
I also used acupuncture to save you back then.
Oh, so you used the same methods you used when treating me?
Right. How do you feel now?
Do not worry. I have always been very strong.
To be honest, I ate whole a 100-year-old fleeceflower root
so I always have been very healthy.
Why do you mention it again?
Have I not told you I do not like people who lie?
I am not lying. When I was little, I really ate thea 100-year-old fleeceflower root.
My parents told me about it.
Rendong,
100-year-old fleeceflower root is a very rare medicinal herb.
No one can casually eat it.
Not to mention that you are just a child.
Maybe your parents lied to you about it?
- But... I... - Alright, alright.
Since you are so interested in traditional Chinese medicine
come help here if there is nothing to do at home.
Thank you, Doctor Gu. Thank you.
Ginseng is best to restore someone's vital energy.
It quenches thirst... in pregnacy it...
It...
What exactly is it?
Han Chong, why are you here all alone looking miserable?
I have not read many books, so my vocabulary is not big.
I simply cannot read what is in this book.
How can I be so unlucky?
Let me have a look at it.
Maybe I will be able to teach you.
- Can you read books? - No.
But my older brother taught me to read.
Alright, then. You teach me and I'll listen.
Ginseng tastes sweet, reinforces vital energy,
relieves thirst and dry mouth, good for health.

♫ White Atractylodes is dry, strengthens spleen and stomach ♫
♫ Anti-diarrhea, dehumidifies, removes phlegm ♫
You have come such a long way. You must be tired.
I am not tired, not tired. I am sorry.
I am sorry that I have come to bother you so early.
- Not at all. Rendong, she... - Mother!
Hello, Auntie. Why did you come?
Ah, you wretched girl. Why did you sent the letter so late?
Your father and I were so worried. I came to see you.
I am sorry for making you worry.
I can see that you have a very intimate mother-daughter relationship.
It is really enviable.
How much money do you give her per month?
Mother, do not talk about it.
How should I not talk about it?
What are those screams about? What is the noise all about?
Us offering her shelter is already exceeding her actual worth (as a worker).
What else do you want?
Who are you? Barging here with your big old mouth?
In any case Gu Mantion is a big household
If it were to spread out that you abuse children, you would fall from the grace!
What a vixen!
How dare you talk to me like that?
Me a vixen! You are a wolf's grandmother, you!
You are a true vixen!
And you are a wolf's grandmother! Vicious and greedy!
- Mother, do not be like this! - You made it absolutely clear who is a real vixen here!
- Calm down, calm down. - What's up with you, huh?
You wolf's grandmother!
This...
Why are you pulling me away?
Mother, how could you do something like that? She is Doctor Gu's mother.
Doctor Gu's mother?
So what? How can rich people bully poor people?
Rendong, Doctor Gu said that you can take a day off today.
- Accompany your mother for a nice stroll. - Really?
Aiyo, Rendong, what day off? A day off will bring you no money.
Excuse me, how much does our Rendong earn per month?
I heard that Doctor Gu said it is around ten dollars.
Ten dollars?
Oh my god,
that's three times as much as in our countryside.
Jiayan.
Jiayan?
Jiayan, why are you sitting here crying all alone?
Mother did not want me to go with her.
Where did she go?
She dressed herself nicely and went to see my sister.
Do not cry.
All right, Rendong. Do your work well
so you are not driven away.
I understand, Mother.
You should also pay more attention to the future.
You should yield a bit more when Father is in a foul mood.
I am definitely not going to lower myself to his level.
If I ever do that, I will be furious.
Alright, enough talking. Get in. I am leaving.
Mother, you just came and want to go already. I cannot bear it.
What can you not bear?
I am away from home since yesterday. If I do not come back now,
your father will probably fall out with me.
Mother, although Father is vicious most of the times,
but in his heart he would hate to part with you.
Ah, right. Rendong. Help me with something. Can you ask Doctor Gu
if he could regularly buy medicine herbs from your father?
Alright. I understand, Mother. I will ask him.
You should hurry back or you will not be able to catch the last coach.
Really? Then get inside.
Mother, I will go inside after seeing you go.
Alright, then I am going. Take good care of yourself.
You, too, Mother.
I am going.
Deputy director.
Who were you just talking to outside?
It was my mother.
Rendong is truly Doctor's Gu real daughter.
How could she unexpectedly arrive in Gu Mansion?
Timing & Subtitles brought to you by Gone with the Shirt Team
I am sick of it!
What is it?
I became an apprentice here only to learn the medicinal properties and efficacy of traditional Chinese medicine
and then know how to treat people.
But he does not teach me that at all!
All I ever do are chores.
Stop complaining. I also do not do anything else.
We are not the same! You are staying in Gu Mansion
and are originally a servant. I am not.
So doing such things should be natural to you.
You are even unable to recite the book Uncle Jiang gave you.
And yet you dare to call yourself his apprentice. Really funny!
Don't think that by answering those two questions about medicine herbs that day you became someone extraordinary!
I think you only knew those two, anyway!
I am not a liar. When I say I know something, then I do.
Great then. Then recite it for me.
Alright, I will.
But if I do it correctly, you will have to call me " Older Sister."
Fair enough. But if you will not make it, you will have to call me "Older Brother."
Alright. Honor your words.
Of course!
Ginseng's sweet taste reinforces vitality,
Quenches thirst, good for health.
Warm milk vetch root prevents sweat and strengthens resistance.
It supports the regrowth of skin and muscle building.
White Atractylodes' gentle effect can strengthen spleen and stomach.
It stops diarrhea, dispels phlegm and constipation.
Poria's mild taste cleanses dampness from the body.
It reduces white phlegm, clears digestive paths.
Licorice root's mild taste blends with various medicines.
It reduces fever, quenches internal inflammation.
Four hundred different medical herbs, all different but so alike.
Raw, cooked for a long time, roasted or baked,
They can be made into soup, pills, ointment or powder
and used appropriately.
The medicine song can be taught to young children
to issue the proper diagnosis and use the proper ingredients.
The benefits will last forever.
So, how was it? Hurry and call me "Older Sister."
My stomach is killing me!
That will not do! I need to run to the toilet!
Wait a moment!
Doctor Gu.
What is it? Does your stomach hurt? Should I have a look at it?
No need, no need. With Doctor Gu here I will be fine in no time.
Good morning, Doctor Gu.
Rendong, I just heard you reciting the medicine song.
How did you learn it?
I learned it from the book that Uncle Jiang gave to Han Chong.
You learned something so complicated this fast? Remarkable.
Thank you, Doctor Gu.
Mother, you came back!
How can you be so loud when you are so little?
- Is your father inside? - He went out.
Did he go uphill to pick up herbs?
I do not know.
Mother, Father knows you went to the city. He is very angry.
Why are you so troublesome? Get inside.
What should he be angry for?
Since I got the news about Rendong, it's natural that I went see her.
Great. You still knew you have to come back.
I was afraid Rendong might have been bullied there.
Not like you, drinking all day and not even caring about Rendong.
You dressed yourself so fancy.
Disgusting.
And you went there all by yourself.
Have you not gone to see someone else?
What nonsense are you talking?
No matter what, you have to apologize to me today.
Apologize?
I wil beat you...
How scary... really.
You want to beat me? Beat me? Then beat me when all those people are watching.
If you dare not hit me, then you are not a man.
Are you going to hit me?
You might be shameless, but I still have shame.
You... you are shameless, too!
Look, look, look. What caught your eyes so much?
Doctor Gu, you asked me to come. What is it about?
Rendong, I have heard you reciting the medical herbs song fluently.
I think you have a great talent for traditional Chinese medicine.
I want to train you. I do not know if you went to school before?
I didn't.
But my older brother from junior high school
taught me everything from his elementary books.
So you learned the words from your older brother?
Uhm.
Do not you have something to ask my father?
Doctor Gu, my father picks herbs for living.
Moreover, he is a true specialist in uncommon drug ingredients.
I wanted to ask if you could agree for my father to sell his herbs to Qingyuantang.
Of course. Here at Qingyuantang we also need some rare herbs.
Thank you, Doctor Gu.
Right, Doctor Gu. Regarding today's medicine for patients,
why were some of them were roasted on fire and some were used as hot blisters?
This is called restoration. This is a process of handling herbs.
It allows us to get the exact portions of drug ingredients, to make them more potent or milder,
It also allows us to get rid of poisonous parts of the plant during the process.
Afterwards we are adding all herbs into a medicine to fully display their healing proterties.
This is an indispensable process to deal with herbs.
There are also some herbs that can be refined by adding honey, matured vinegar or fresh ginger to them.
That is why...
Qiangwei? Are you tired?
No. I just think you are talking about such boring things,
that I would like to go back to my room.
You are my daughter. How can you not be interested in traditional Chinese medicine?
We, the Gu family, have been in this profesion for many generations.
Father, I am really not interested in traditional Chinese medicine.
Even if you force me, it will be of no use.
Alright, never mind.
Go back to your room.
Thank you, Father.
Doctor Gu, do not worry too much. Qiangwei might not be interested in traditional Chinese medicine now,
but later, thanks to your guidance, she will definitely get interested in it.
This is called "being influenced," is it not so?
I really envy her for having such a good father
and her great living environment, so different than mine.
Rendong, you should not say so.
Actually, life is determined by fate,
but it does not determine one's future achievements.
People always strive to improve themselves in favorable circumstances.
It is natural to expect future achievements in such case.
However, if people are overcoming obstacles and going against the main stream to fulfill their great ambitions,
then their future accomplishments will be even greater.
Do you understand what I mean?
I understand. Thank you for your guidance, Doctor Gu.
Rendong, since you like to learn so much
I will let you go to school.
I... I cannot go to school
Why not? Do you perhaps not like to learn?
No... It is because my family is still waiting for me to send them my wages.
If I go to school, I will not be able to earn money by working.
Do not worry about it. Even if I send you to school, I will still give you your wages.
Just after the school, you will be working at home and then helping out at Qingyuantang.
Do you agree?
Thank you, Doctor Gu.
Jiayan, did our parents quarrel again?
Tell me, why are you always like that?
I heard that married couples that love one another make the family prosperous. It is because you both quarrel
that our family is so poor.
Eat.
Look at that. Look at that.
Even children understand it, but not you.
You are a disgrace.
As if you were an example of virtue.
It is really a waste of efforts.
What is it?
Look yourself.
What a beautiful scarf!
Mother, let me look!
Do not touch it with your hands!
It is really lovely!
How does it look? Is it lovely?
Mother, you really look nice in it.
This scarf is very expensive. Father spent a lot of money to buy it for you.
I was just passing through a market when I saw someone was selling this.
You really look nice in it.
Since you gave me the scarf... I will not bicker with you.
