Swtich of Fate Episode 14
My little grandson!
So small and without a mother! How will I raise him?
Child, your father is useless.
If your mother dies, how can I live on?
Don't worry. I'll think of something.
I'll try my hardest to cure her.
You–!
Okay! Thank you, Doctor! Thank you, Doctor!
Why are you– Why are you so disobedient?
Han Chong, doctors must be kind.
I must give it a try.
No, I can't let you take this risk. We should go.
Let go of me!
Just because the child's mother contracted tuberculosis,
the child must be left alone without a mother?
I don't want that, either! But you said yourself
you don't have any experience with this and it's dangerous.
How can I let you do this?
Han Chong, relax.
I know how to protect myself.
Anyway, as a doctor, even if there is only one strand of hope
I still have to try my hardest. Don't say anymore.
Thank you, Doctor!
Sir, you cannot take the baby inside anymore.
Live with a relative for these few days.
Yes.
Mr. Zheng, cover your mouth and nose with a cloth and come inside with me.
Yes, yes. Thank you, Doctor, thank you!
Thank you, Doctor!
Go open the window.
Any boil everything your wife has used.
Yes.
Here.
- Can you do it? - Han Chong, why are you in here?
I'm here to help you!
You help me? Cover your mouth and nose first!
- Then what? - Tie it!
I'll tie it in a bit!
Go light these herbs.
Yes.
Ah Bao, take these to Old Wang. Don't forget to get his money.
Yes, yes.
- Big Brother, are you busy? - Fang Cheng, why are you here today?
What happened to your head?
I was walking with my head down a few days ago
and I accidentally bumped into a wall. It's nothing!
We're not young anymore. You should pay more attention!
Come, come, sit and have some tea.
Come, come.
Sit, sit! You haven't come here in a while.
Don't be too courteous.
Big Brother, I haven't seen Rendong.
There was a patient here. She just went out.
No wonder.
Thank you, thank you.
Right, Fang Cheng, I wanted to ask you something.
What is it?
It's about when you asked me to take care of a child many years ago.
You especially asked me and my wife not to tell this to anyone.
But how did Qiangwei know?
What? How did Qiangwei know?
Just a few days ago she asked my wife about it.
- She asked your wife? - Yeah.
Look at me, I must have gotten drunk one night.
I accidentally let it slip.
Oh, you!
No, I say Fang Cheng, you–
Big Brother, I know you're thinking of me
but you really don't need to worry.
Qiangwei is mature. She will definitely not speak about it to others.
I keep telling you to stop drinking so much!
Instead of wine, drink some more tea! It's good for your body!
- You're right, I'll just drink tea from now on. - You!
- Let's drink tea. - Yes, drink tea.
Rendong is with a patient.
Then my plan has worked.
Here, eat some more.
Look, you've lost weight in these few days.
If they find out I'm not a child of the the Gu family,
will they still love me like this?
Stop looking at the child like that.
You'll scare her.
Qiangwei, it's okay.
Your dad isn't trying to scare you.
He's just worried about you.
- Let's eat. - Hurry and eat.
Old Madam.
Dr. Gu, have you seen Han Chong?
No, why?
Wasn't he with you?
No, and he wasn't at the office either.
This child always does everything with thought.
Maybe he's eating out with some friends.
It's okay. Sit, let's eat together.
She mustn't let them find out.
I'm full.
This child!
- I'll go see her. - No need. Let her do as she wish.
Ever since she was small she's been spoiled rotten.
I haven't even settled things when she ran away from home.
Now she's having tempers again.
If you have something to say, say it to her nicely,
or else she'll be more stubborn.
Mothe, don't speak on her behalf for everything!
Gu Fang, don't say too much.
Old Madam, how's this?
Last time I was able to convince her to come home.
Maybe as a servant
some things are easier to say and she'll listen.
Let me try again.
I'll go try again.
Qiangwei, what are you doing?
Everything was supposed to be Rendong's, not mine!
I don't have the right to stay here, do I?
You–!
You can't say things like this again! What if someone hears? Speak quietly!
Also, in the future you cannot say this anymore.
You cannot speak of being switched with Rendong!
The more they treat me well,
the more I cannot stay in this family.
I don't know how to face them anymore.
Qiangwei, if Rendong dies
will you be able to stop blaming yourself?
What do you mean by that?
Don't cry, dumb girl.
Do you remember the relative of the tuberculosis patient earlier today?
I purposely told him to keep his wife's illness a secret
and asked Rendong to tend to her.
You know tuberculosis is a very transferable illness.
From what I see,
more harm than good will come to Rendong now.
How can you be like that?
I'm evil? I'm shameless?
I did all this to protect your status.
Also, blame her.
I warned her many times.
I told her to not get close to this family or to you.
I'm not sorry for her.
If I didn't endure back then, she'd be dead.
She already lived for so many years.
That should be enough.
I don't feel good.
If she's dead, my heart will be easier.
Also, you can keep your status in the Gu family.
You can inherit everything.
Enough! You monster!
Get out!
You monster! Get out!
Alright.
Calm down and think about it.
I endured so much all these years for what?
Don't forget all the work I have done for you.
Don't touch me. Get out!
Alright. I'll leave.
How do you feel?
The medicine is here.
Have you incensed indoors and outdoors?
Yeah, I have.
Are you okay?
I'm fine. I'm just a bit tired.
Drink the medicine.
Wash up.
I told you not to help her.
Don't touch me. Stay away from me.
I told you not to help. Wash up.
It's all your fault.
Let me see.
There's some dry blood.
No need. Stay away from me.
What should we do now?
Let me see.
I said to stay away from me. I'll be worried.
You worry about me. I'm more worried about you.
I told you so. Now what?
Han Chong, don't worry.
Don't forget I ate a hundred year old fleeceflower root.
I'll be fine.
Really?
Don't tell anyone about this.
Keep it a secret.
Alright.
Wash it.
God bless us! Please don't let Rendong get ill with tuberculosis!
Please don't let Rendong get ill with tuberculosis!
Are we here yet?
Zhengding?
Zhengding.
Han Chong, go back first. I have to talk to Zhengding.
What? I don't understand.
Why do you tell me to go back every time he comes?
That's so weird. Do you guys have some secrets?
What secrets? Leave first.
Leave. I really have something to say.
I really have something.
Rendong, what is it?
Zhengding, why did you hide the fact from me?
You gave my sister money.
You helped our shop so much over the years.
I didn't help you much.
I'm very happy that I can help you out this time.
No.
You saved me when I was little.
You took me into your family.
I will never be able to repay you for this.
So, I have worked hard over the years to repay you.
Rendong, you don't have to be so polite with me.
I don't need you to repay anything.
Zhengding, hold on to this.
What is this?
This is the debt form.
Let's say I borrowed that money from you.
When I get paid, I'll pay you back.
Hold it. I don't want it.
- Zhengding, that's not okay. - Listen to me.
I can't. I won't feel good.
Listen. I told you to hold it.
Why do you accept his help and not mine?
Han Chong, how can you eavesdrop on our conversation?
How much does she owe you? I'll pay you back.
This is our situation. You shouldn't interfere.
What does that mean?
I didn't mean anything.
You.
Alright, don't be like this, you two.
I want to resolve it with my own ability.
So, hold this, Zhengding.
Rendong, Rendong!
It's all your fault that she's not happy.
If it wasn't for you, she wouldn't be unhappy.

Rendong!
- You finally came back. - Uncle, why haven't you left yet?
Why did you come back so late? I have been so worried.
Why are you sweating so much?
Don't worry. I went with Han Chong.
Alright. Have a seat.
I'm fine.
Child, what kind of sickness did the patient have today?
They just had a fever, nothing serious.
That's good. Do you know how worried I was?
Today I heard the village nearby
was contracting tuberculosis! That's an illness easily spreadable.
If it spreads into the city, it will be bad.
I'm so anxious.
Child, that's right.
If you encounter any patients like that, you must not help them.
Just give them the medicine
according to the Qingyuantang prescription. Do you understand?
Alright. I know.
I wonder if that patient's blood will contaminate me or not.
If I am already sick,
what should I do?
Good thing it was only a dream.
Why do I feel terrible
after that lady spit blood onto me?
Could I be...?
Rendong!
Zhengding!
Rendong!
Rendong, are you okay?
I'm...
I'm fine. Why are you here?
Rendong, I saw you didn't go home all night long.
So, I came over. Why are you coughing?
I'm fine. I just choked.
Rendong!
Chen Zhengding! What are you doing?
Hey!
What are you doing hugging her?
What's wrong with Rendong?
How could she faint?
I don't know. She was just talking to me.
She fainted suddenly.
That's right. Where did you go with Rendong yesterday?
How could she get sick?
Yesterday.
Rendong!
Did she really get contaminated?
What are you saying? How can she be contaminated?
Explain things.
She was already a bit sick yesterday.
But, she still insisted on helping the seriously sick patient.
- Chen Zhengding, what are you doing? - I'm taking her back.
No. I will take her back.
Get away!
You're still yelling? It's not like you don't know the Gu family's Old Madam is not well,
and how much she hates Rendong. Don't you now know?
Do you think she will accept her?
Instead of quarreling with me, why don't you go find Doctor Gu?
Good reasoning.
I'll go to Qingyuantang.
Doctor Gu.
That's great that you're still here.
Han Chong, why are you here?
What's going on?
It's Rendong! She must have contracted tuberculosis! She's unconscious and won't wake up!
Doctor Gu, go see her.
No. What craziness are you saying?
Han Chong, how can you not know anything?
The sickness is contagious. How can you tell Doctor Gu to go?
We still have so many patients waiting at Qinyuantang.
If Doctor Gu gets contaminated, what should we do?
But, Rendong is unconscious right now.
Anyway, it's not certain she's even contracted tuberculosis at this time!
We only ask Doctor Gu to go take a look.
Doctor Gu, I beg you to save Rendong.
I'll go with you.
Doctor Gu!
You may not go.
You can't go.
Mother, I'm a doctor. Saving people is my responsibility.
How can you stop me from saving people?
I won't allow you.
We are not certain if Rendong really does have tuberculosis.
Even if she did, it's not too late for it to take effect.
It won't spread yet.
Don't forget who killed our grandson.
I won't allow you.
I am a doctor. Helping others is most important.
I cannot ignore it.
So, I must go save Rendong.
Sorry.
Alright.
- Granny. - Mother, let's go back.
Mother...
Is Old Granny okay?
Don't worry. I'll go persuade Mother.
Be careful.
Alright. Thank you.
Doctor Gu, since I don't have anything to do right now,
I'll go with you.
Okay, let's go.
Boss Chen.
Dr. Gu, why are you at my home today?
Doctor Gu came to cure Rendong.
Come in.
Uncle Fang, let's go, Uncle Fang.
Why isn't he here yet?
Hongli,
Doctor Gu is here.
Rendong is in her room.
I'll take you there.
Hurry over. Here's your chance.
I don't want to.
Fang Cheng.
Sister-in-law.
Ronghua has something to say.
Ronghua, say it.
Say it.
Go.
Ronghua, say what you have to say.
I... I...
Ronghua!
Sister-in-law, what's wrong with Ronghua?
Wait a second, let me go take a look.
Gosh.
You two go open the windows so air can circulate.
Alright.
You. How can you run to you room without saying anything?
What should I say?
Anything is good.
Most importantly,
you must tell him that you really like him.
How can I say stuff like that?
He already has a daughter.
Didn't I tell you many times?
That girl might not be Fang Cheng's.
Didn't you also divorce, too?
Who cares about the past?
You must cherish your bliss right now.
It is all about the future.
But,
But what?
Let me tell you. Fang Cheng is so great.
If you don't take advantage of this chance,
others might steal him.
Hey.
Zhengding, don't push me.
Dad, go rest.
Zhengding, how's Rendong?
You're all wearing masks? Is it serious? Contagious?
Don't worry yet. Dr. Gu is tending to Rendgon right now.
We will know in a bit.
Dad, rest up.
Alright. I'll go to the living room.
Hey, son.
Be careful yourself.
I will.
Brother, how is Rendong?
We don't know yet.
May I go in?
Big Brother.
Where's Fang Cheng?
Over there.
Where's my wife?
Upstairs.
Alright.
Fang Cheng is taking a look at Rendong.
Dr. Gu, does Rendong have tuberculosis?
Tuberculosis?
Right now Rendong's illness has not reached the point where we can determine that.
Even if it is tuberculosis, everyone reacts to the illness differently.
There are short and long symptoms. They are all different.
So according to you, Rendong really does have a chance of having ruberculosis?
Oh, my god!
Doctor Gu, what should we do?
Right now we can only prescribe her some fever medicine.
Zhending, if Redong starts to cough up blood,
excessive sweating, chest pains, and difficulty breathing,
or fevers for a long time,
any of these symptoms, report to me immediately.
Okay, Doctor Gu. Thank you.
Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!
Ronghua, why are you so hyped up?
Sister-in-law!
Rendong! Rendong!
Rengdong has tuberculosis!
Tuberculosis?
Tuberculosis will spread.
Zhengding!
Don't pull me.
Zhengding!
Zhengding! Come out!
Come out.
Hurry.
What's going on?
Let's go.
What'd you say? We're sending Rendong away?
That's right. I won't permit her to stay and I won't allow you to interact with her.
Mom, how can you do that? She's sick right now.
That's right and it could be contagious.
Who said that? We haven't confirmed it yet.
Zhengding, don't lie to us. We already know.
This...
Auntie, Rendong has always helped your shop earn money.
She hasn't done anything bad.
How can you kick her out? How heartless!
That's not right.
We fed Rendong and let her live here.
We pay her ahead of time, too.
That's right. This can be contagious.
This is called saving your own life. Do you understand?
Also Zhending is the only son in our Chen family.
If he contracts tuberculosis, do you want us Chens to end our lineage?
You guys are going overboard.
We are not even certain that Rendong does have tuberculosis!
That's right.
Doctor Gu is helping her. She'll be fine.
You two stop guessing.
Can you guarantee
that she didn't get that sickness?
Anyway, Dr. Gu is the best doctor here.
If Doctor Gu can't guarantee, how can you?
I don't agree for her to stay.
Mom, you–
Since you're not scared, you take her with you.
Go anywhere that is not here.
Fine! This place does not welcome us.
- There will be a place that does welcome us. I'll take her away right now! - Han Chong!
Han Chong, you don't even have a place for her to stay.
I--I'll send her back to her home.
You know how her mom treats her.
Will she accept her?
So, keep her here to recuperate.
Don't worry. I will take care of her.
I will not let my Mom kick her out.
What nonsense? Letting her stay here?
I won't allow it.
Madam Chen.
Doctor Gu,
Don't worry.
She only contracted a severe fever. It does not mean tuberculosis.
Did you hear that?
So, don't worry.
This... if she really did contract tuberculosis,
what should we do?
If she does have tuberculosis then I will find another place for her.
I won't add trouble to you.
Hongli, Dr. Gu has already said so.
Let Rendong stay.
Mom, agree.
Alright.
That's great!
Dr. Gu, you've already seen Rendong.
Why don't we go back first. Right now Qingyuantang
still has many patients waiting for you.
Anyway you wouldn't want Old Madam to worry, right?
That's right.
Alright.
Zhending, the medicine I just prescribed
just let Rengdong drink it according to the instructions.
Yes.
Good. I'll be going then.
Take care, Dr Gu.
Why are you standing there for? Go back to your work.
But Rending is still...
Alright, so many people are with her. It's not your place to worry.
Let's go, let's go.
Sister-in-law, Big Brother, we'll be going, too.
Alright.
Let me tell you, you better take good care of her or else I won't let you go!
Don't worry, I will.
What are you doing?
Mother, right now Rendong is unconscious. I have to tend to her!
I won't allow you to go. Come with me. I have something to say to you.
Mother! I really do have to tend to Rendong right now!
Aunty, you take care of Rendong, I have something to say to Zhending.
I...I don't have time! I have to go sell soy sauce.
I'm going to my room.
Ronghua!
Mother! I have to stay with Rendong.
I can't leave her for a minute. If you have anything to say
then say it when Rendong is better.
Chen Zhending, you really have grown up!
You're older now, huh?
I raise you with my sweat and blood.
Now your mother cannot compare to an outsider like Rendong?
Is it that hard to have a word with you?
Go, go, go! You take care of Rendong!
Don't pay anymore attention to me anymore!
- Hongli! - Don't talk to me!
Mother!
Zhending.
You can speak to your mom nicely.
Didn't I say your mom is only tough on the outside but soft in the inside?
If you have something to say, say it nicely,
or else how can you take care of Rendong, right?
Dad, but Rendong, she's–
Alright, alright.
Go say something nice to your mother first.
I'll take care of Rendong for now.
- Alright. - Go now.
That brat! I'm so mad!
Mom!
- Mom! -Don't call me mom. I'm not your mom.
Mom, I'm sorry. I was wrong.
You know you were wrong now?
Ever since you were little, I took care of you carefully
I didn't want you to get even a little bit hurt.
What about you? Now that you're older,
you can't even talk with your mother?
Mom, I didn't mean that.
Then what did you mean?
I don't want to you come in contact with Rendong because it's for your own good!
You have to know you're the Chen family's only son.
If you contract tuberculosis,
what do you want us to do? Who is your mother going to depend on for her old years?
Mom, things aren't as bad as you think!
Let's not talk about whether or not Rendong even has tuberculosis.
Even if we did confirm it, the way we contract tuberculosis
is by saliva.
And look, I will definitely protect myself.
I won't contract it, for sure. Don't worry.
Actually, I'm really not that evil, and don't care about Rendong's life or death.
Ever since Rendong was small, she's lived with us
and I've already treated her like family.
But...
But this tuberculosis really is too scary.
Do you know it's already spreading outside the city?
In the city we are still safe.
If Rendong does contract tuberculosis and spreads it to our family,
then our entire family will become the first to bring it to the whole city!
Where do you want me to put my honor?
Alright, Mom, don't worry. Didn't Dr. Gu just say
Rendong has only contracted a fever and not tuberculosis?
I hope so.
Alright, Mom. I still need your help making Rendong's medicine.
You! Brat!
Alright, alright.
Mom, don't be mad.
- Mom. - You're back. - Dad.
Mother was just worrying about you.
Old Madam.
Mom, are you feeling better?
As long as no one turns against me, I will be better.
That's right, how is Rendong?
Does she have tuberculosis?
Right now she has not shown any symptoms of tuberculosis yet.
It only looks like a fever at this moment.
I already gave her an acupuncture treatment. When she takes her medicine
I will see if she has any other symptoms. Then I'll make my diagnosis.
Even if Dr. Gu has already treated Rendong
that girl is still unconscious.
How can I work now?
This...
Whatever!
Rendong's safety is more important than anything! Even if Uncle Fang yells at me, I will still see her!
Let me go!
Qiangwei, this is our secret.
In order for you to live a good life,
I will never allow Rendong to come steal away everything!
But... but she's never wronged me–
She is the biggest stone in the path of your life! Do you still not understand?
You just care about her too much. You're too kind to her.
Haven't you seen Dr. Gu?
As soon as he found out Rendong was in trouble,
he risked everything to help her.
Even if Old Madam did not agree, he still didn't care!
Do you know why? I know it more that anyone.
This is the father-daughter bond.
This is an instinct that can't be changed. Do you understand?
Qiangwei, you cannot be unfocused anymore.
You have to make up your mind to apply to medical school.
Also, no matter what,
you have to promise your Dad that you'll inherit the Gu family's fortune.
Don't let Rendong sneak in
or else you won't have time to regret!
Do you understand?
Everything I'm doing is for your own good. Think about it well.
I really want to know
how Rendong is doing right now.
I have to trouble you both with it then.
I did not expect it to plague her for so long.
Our shop is being managed only by Ah Li recently.
I have to take care of it.
You should take care of people in the house.
I am going to the shop then.
Do not worry. Go. Go quickly.
Sister-in-law, what if Rendong really caught tuberculosis?
Rendong caught tuberculosis?
Will it spread among the whole household?
Just thinking about it makes me feel unwell.
Who doesn't? I am also worried about it.
Ronghua, how about we go out and check if there is a house to rent?
We could then move out from here and make sure nobody gets infected.
Uhm, we could do this, too.
Is Rendong really so seriously ill?
Say, this is such a good house.
Why do we have to flee from it?
All right, let's go now. Let's go.
Qiangwei?
