01:50 [DOORBELL RINGS]
02:12 It's fine.
02:13 It's mom.
02:15 [DOORBELL RINGS]
02:18 Mom?
02:23 She's in the ICU.
02:25 The doctor said it's not good.
02:27 Dad and uncle are here.
02:32 Aunt went to pick up my cousin.
02:34 She took a leave from her school.
02:37 That's all I've got.
02:39 Mom, don't cry.
02:43 Stop crying.
02:45 We'll talk when you're here.
02:47 Why is aunt not here yet?
03:03 Her flight took off at 8, right?
03:05 It's almost 1 o'clock.
03:06 Can't you tell her to hurry up?
03:08 I tried calling her, but no one's picking up.
03:10 How is she?
03:11 Will she make it?
03:12 She's barely holding on.
03:14 [DOORBELL RINGS]
03:18 Hello?
03:27 Ling Xiao.
03:30 What's wrong?
03:31 Is this Ling Xiao?
03:35 I'm Chinmay Young's uncle.
03:37 I have news, but you have to prepare yourself.
03:40 They had an accident while they were driving to the airport.
03:43 They're still in the hospital.
03:45 It's not looking so good.
03:47 Mom is dying!
04:04 Ling Xiao!
04:08 Ling Xiao!
04:10 Hurry up!
04:13 Mom! Mom!
04:17 Doctor, help her!
04:19 Mom, Mom, Mom, no!
04:22 Grandma!
04:23 Mom!
04:25 Grandma!
04:29 [TIRES SCREECH]
04:31 Hey, Dad, you're back.
04:41 So, could you find those detox tablets for me?
04:44 I have a mouth sore again.
04:46 Hey, Dad, what's with your eyes?
04:49 Oh.
04:51 Oh, been twitching all day.
04:53 It's annoying.
04:55 This plaster doesn't work.
04:58 [SILENCE]
05:00 Listen, Dad.
05:09 You have to take care of yourself.
05:11 Don't let yourself get upset over nothing.
05:14 Especially after I've left for college.
05:17 And I can't be with you.
05:19 You have to stay healthy, or I'll be worried.
05:26 You're just like me.
05:27 We're both worrywarts.
05:29 But I'll be relieved when you're in college.
05:31 I bet you will.
05:33 But with a bigger restaurant, you're going to be even busier.
05:36 Then I'll hire some staff.
05:40 Then I can sit in there and do nothing.
05:45 Yeah, just eat snacks, play mahjong, the good life.
05:49 Who are you trying to fool?
05:55 Oh, your dad Ling.
05:57 Yeah, Ha Ping?
05:59 How's it going?
06:01 Oh.
06:04 11.30.
06:16 It's a school night.
06:19 You should go to sleep.
06:21 Okay.
06:24 [MUSIC]
06:26 Dad Ling!
06:33 Hey.
06:34 Why would you scare me like that?
06:36 Where's my brother?
06:37 Uh, he went home with them.
06:39 What?
06:40 Why are you up so late?
06:42 Anyway, get me some water.
06:44 Come on in, have a seat.
06:48 Thanks.
06:52 What happened? What's going on with Chen Ting?
06:54 Her husband is dead.
07:06 Chen Ting is badly wounded.
07:09 She's in the ICU.
07:11 Her in-laws are urging her relatives to fly there on a visa this afternoon.
07:17 I took Ling Xiao and his uncle to the embassy.
07:20 But even an urgent application takes 10 days.
07:23 Well, it could work out.
07:25 They could use those days to take care of his grandma's funeral.
07:28 Their funerals are bound by local rules.
07:32 So many things.
07:35 Can Ling Xiao handle all of that?
07:38 He's no longer a kid.
07:39 He has to.
07:41 There's no choice.
07:42 He must handle it.
07:43 I wonder what happened.
07:46 Overspeeding.
07:48 Her husband drove too fast.
07:50 She's dead.
07:52 Hey.
07:53 Hey.
07:54 Hey.
07:55 (Ling Xiao's grave)
07:57 (Ling Xiao's grave)
08:00 (Ling Xiao's grave)
08:03 (Ling Xiao's grave)
08:06 ♫Bearing it, losing it, still facing the distance♫
08:18 ♫Maybe you have forgotten your name♫
08:32 ♫Growing up with all my strength♫
08:52 ♫Even if I'm hesitant, I'll keep going♫
08:59 ♫Life is a journey♫
09:05 ♫Let us learn♫
09:12 ♫Oh, I♫
09:14 ♫Oh♫
09:18 ♫Oh♫
09:21 Ahai, Chou.
09:24 Yeah?
09:25 This is something from my hometown.
09:26 This has honeysuckle, gooseberry, chrysanthemum and jasmine.
09:29 And the launching tea that my daughter bought for me.
09:31 This will be very good for your sore eye.
09:34 Drink it up. It works.
09:35 Thank you.
09:36 These past few days have been uncomfortable.
09:40 My mouth sores wouldn't heal.
09:42 Jianjian made me some mung bean soup, but I couldn't eat it.
09:46 Here, have some fruit.
09:48 Okay, thank you.
09:49 Please have some fruit.
09:50 Zuchou, make some for your dad.
09:52 Okay.
09:53 So, thanks a lot.
09:57 Hey.
09:58 You had to trouble yourselves coming over.
10:00 We're alright. Don't worry.
10:03 Nonsense. We're doing the work of the neighborhood committee.
10:07 It's our duty to take care of our families. It's only right.
10:11 They're having a string of bad luck.
10:14 Just like Chanting's mother. She's not even that old yet.
10:17 But she's old nevertheless.
10:19 Meanwhile, Chanting is young by any standard.
10:22 Her daughter is just a child.
10:24 It would be a pity if she wouldn't survive.
10:26 A pity.
10:27 But age doesn't matter.
10:30 Anyone could die.
10:32 At any age, everyone will have to die.
10:34 That's just life.
10:37 Still, my son Lingxiao, he'll suffer.
10:42 Yes.
10:43 Oh, by the way, has the boy visited them?
10:45 Yes, he has.
10:46 When his grandma died, his uncle took him back to their hometown.
10:50 That boy's already a man.
10:53 Chanting never cared about him.
10:55 But at the end of the day, a mother's a mother.
10:58 He has to see her.
10:59 And even He Zuchou's mother.
11:02 When she gets into trouble, she'll come to.
11:05 [music]
11:10 Drink up. Enjoy.
11:12 Thank you.
11:13 [music]
11:20 Nice shot.
11:22 Whoa.
11:26 [music]
11:48 So, how's your gaokao?
11:51 Not too bad.
11:53 But I wanted to go to Wuhan.
11:55 But I didn't make the minimum requirement.
11:58 So I need to rethink.
12:00 And you?
12:02 I don't know yet.
12:04 Gotta ask Lingxiao.
12:07 Yeah.
12:08 You guys will be fine as long as you're in one city.
12:11 Hey.
12:14 Let's just say I...
12:17 study abroad, like a one-year prep course.
12:21 Well, that sounds like a great idea.
12:24 If you're in my place, you'd go?
12:26 Without question, yeah, I would.
12:28 Don't clip your wings, man.
12:29 My parents worked hard for me.
12:31 If I had a donor, my parents would get to rest.
12:34 They can finally save some money.
12:36 That's what I would do.
12:39 I'd accept the best opportunity.
12:41 But as soon as I'm golden, I'm going back.
12:44 Makes sense.
12:47 My dad would always tell me that in life,
12:49 people shouldn't shun money.
12:52 So think about it, okay?
12:54 Life just feels so dangerous right now.
12:57 What do you mean?
13:00 I mean...
13:02 When you think things are going bad,
13:05 that's when things get worse.
13:06 Come on, Lingxiao's family stuff is bothering you.
13:10 But what happened to them rarely happens to everyone.
13:12 I think you're the outlier.
13:14 Your life has been smooth sailing,
13:16 so your outlook on life is always so bright.
13:20 I can't change that fact.
13:22 I'm so blessed.
13:23 Alright, blessing.
13:25 Let's play ball.
13:27 Madam.
13:33 Condolences.
13:36 Grandma Qin, I'm sorry.
13:39 Thank you.
13:43 Lingxiao, your mother is still in the intensive care unit.
13:47 She's not out of danger yet.
13:49 You have to be strong.
13:50 You have to believe that one day she'll wake up.
13:53 My son's funeral has already been arranged.
14:00 I'm going back to Malaysia.
14:02 Meiyang's grandma is not feeling well.
14:05 She's not mobile anymore.
14:07 I have to take care of him.
14:09 As for Meiyang,
14:10 her school's almost over.
14:13 I don't plan to send her back to school.
14:15 I'm bringing her with me.
14:17 I'll take care of her.
14:19 I won't go to Malaysia.
14:20 I'm staying here with my brother.
14:22 Meiyang, listen to me.
14:23 No one's going to take care of you here.
14:25 I don't care.
14:27 I won't leave my brother.
14:28 I'll stay with my brother until my mom wakes up.
14:30 Be a good girl, Meiyang.
14:31 Sorry, it's the office.
14:35 Hello?
14:38 Meiyang, don't be naughty.
14:39 Let's go.
14:47 You can let her stay here.
14:49 When mom wakes up,
14:50 she'll want to see her.
14:52 Don't be like this.
15:01 Try to cheer up a little.
15:03 I haven't seen Ling Xiao ever since his grandma was hospitalized.
15:08 Yesterday, I was trying to call him, but he didn't answer.
15:11 He's probably feeling horrible.
15:14 Even I feel bad.
15:16 I'll go get him.
15:17 Okay.

16:58 Hello?
16:59 -Xin Mingye. -Hmm.
17:02 Where is she?
17:06 Why would you just come barging in?
17:13 So sorry, nurse. He's my brother.
17:15 How did you fall?
17:17 Uh, well, she was walking down the stairs when someone pushed her.
17:21 Yeah, I didn't see who pushed me, though.
17:24 There were many people going down the stairs.
17:26 We were at the teaching building.
17:27 I fell from the third floor all the way to the first.
17:30 -Ahh! -Hey, don't move. Don't move.
17:32 Be gentle. Be gentle.
17:34 She's badly wounded. We have to clean her wound.
17:36 Otherwise, she'll have a scar.
17:38 I'll just make a call.
17:45 Was it you?
17:54 What? What happened?
17:57 Someone pushed Jianjian off the stairs. Was it you?
18:01 Really, kid? What's the matter with you?
18:03 Every time your sister gets in trouble, hits her head,
18:06 it's automatically my fault? Huh? Doesn't make sense.
18:09 The Gaokao results are due soon.
18:11 How do you think you did?
18:13 I'm alright. I can walk on my own.
18:20 You can't move around. Your wound might split open.
18:24 Why?
18:25 I miss Ling Xiao.
18:28 I thought it would be easy to be apart.
18:31 But I haven't seen him in ten days, and I don't feel like myself.
18:36 When both of you move to Beijing for college,
18:39 we won't see each other for months. I'll miss you both.
18:42 That's okay. You're going to get used to it.
18:45 And besides, we can call you every day.
18:48 Really? Every day?
18:49 Really.
18:50 Wherever I am, I'll call you every day.
18:53 I don't believe you. Do you know what they say?
18:57 When a boy goes off to college, he'll always be chasing after girls.
19:01 He won't be the same with a girlfriend.
19:03 That's not true. Who told you that?
19:06 So innocent. In time, you'll understand.
19:09 Alright. Let's wait and see.
19:13 What happened?
19:14 Hey!
19:18 An Di! (Zhen Zhen! Su Zhou!)
19:19 Yes? (Hurry, hurry!)
19:20 That ambulance has your dad! They're going to the hospital!
19:23 What happened to him?
19:24 He passed out, but I don't know why. He just dropped. Just follow them!
19:28 Did it be a heart attack?
19:30 Don't worry. (I don't know.)
19:31 Let's go to the hospital. (Be careful!)
19:32 Alright. Let's take a taxi.
19:35 Dad!
19:36 Excuse me. Could you please be quiet?
19:37 Where's Dad?
19:38 He's over here.
19:39 Dad!
19:42 Dad! (Dad!)
19:44 Dad!
19:45 What happened to my dad?
19:46 Your father is going to be alright.
19:48 You fainted from fatigue, lack of sleep, and malnutrition.
19:51 Dad!
19:53 Why isn't he waking up?
19:56 He's in the hospital.
19:57 He's in the hospital?
19:58 I don't know.
19:59 He's in the hospital.
20:00 He's in the hospital?
20:01 He's in the hospital?
20:02 Why isn't he waking up?
20:04 He's tired. He needs to sleep.
20:06 When he finishes these, you can bring him home.
20:08 The doctor prescribes ulcer medication.
20:10 You can get it from the pharmacy. Tell your dad to eat regularly.
20:13 Okay. Thank you, nurse.
20:14 Welcome.
20:16 (sigh)
20:17 Come on. Let me go. Goodness.
20:39 Let me go. I'm not paralyzed.
20:41 You might fall down.
20:42 Why would I?
20:43 See? We can't even get through the door.
20:46 I have to change my shoes.
20:48 Okay, let me help you.
20:49 Hey, Haichao.
20:50 I leave you here for half a day, and you end up in the hospital?
20:54 Zhenzhen, what happened to your face?
20:57 Uh...
20:58 I'm going to pray at the temple tomorrow.
21:01 Oh, the exam results. Let's check them out.
21:04 See if they qualify for a good college.
21:05 Stop it. Don't worry about that. Just go to bed. Get some sleep.
21:08 You rarely sleep, and you lack iron.
21:10 Go to sleep, okay?
21:11 I guess I'll take a nap.
21:13 Zhenzhen, take care of your dad. I have to go to work.
21:18 Oh, bye, Dad.
21:19 Bye, Dad.
21:20 Bye.
21:21 Hey, put your shoes over there. Take a seat. Go on.
21:27 All right. Put your legs out.
21:33 Just relax.
21:35 Relax.
21:36 It still hurts?
21:42 It's fine. It's fine. It's fine.
21:45 Okay. I'll be careful.
21:47 The other one.
21:52 Hey, what are you doing? Don't move.
21:58 That foot doesn't hurt.
22:00 Ah!
22:01 Dad.
22:23 Zhouzhou.
22:25 Why are you sitting there?
22:28 I wanted to watch over you.
22:30 Oh, my gosh.
22:32 I'm all right.
22:35 All right. Let me make us some dinner.
22:41 But Dad, you need to rest.
22:42 No, no. Look at this kid. She's tired.
22:46 Didn't you hear the doctor?
22:49 She said I'm good to go.
22:51 I just need to sleep longer.
22:53 What's wrong?
22:57 Dad! Dad! Are you all right?
22:59 Yes, I'm all right.
23:00 Are you? Hold on a minute. Who did this to you?
23:03 Are you all right?
23:04 I'm fine. I'm fine.
23:05 Oh, Zhenzhen. Look at your face.
23:08 Who did this? Did you see who pushed you?
23:11 No.
23:20 My daughter.
23:26 I'm fine.
23:27 Mr. Li, have you seen your kids' Gaoko scores?
23:43 Yes, I have. They all did well.
23:46 And your daughter's...
23:48 Not this time. Next year.
23:49 She's leaving home.
23:52 Oh.
23:53 I'm so sorry. We're not open.
24:06 Really? You don't know me?
24:17 You don't know me?
24:18 Mom.
24:26 When my mother got sick, I asked for 10,000.
24:46 Here's 30,000.
24:47 Including inflation.
24:50 Where have you been all these years?
24:56 Shenzhen. At a beauty parlor.
25:00 When you...
25:02 When you were settled, why didn't you call me?
25:05 What if you reported me?
25:06 I wouldn't.
25:08 I was just kidding.
25:09 I'm sorry.
25:10 Zuchou...
25:28 He's with a classmate.
25:30 He's done with the Gaokao.
25:32 And he scored quite high.
25:34 I didn't come to see him.
25:35 I didn't come to pay you either.
25:39 I came because Xiaohuaguang asked me to.
25:41 He tracked you down?
25:43 He asked my former colleagues.
25:46 He looked everywhere.
25:48 Then he gave me a call.
25:50 He wants my son.
25:52 So I know what he's been doing lately.
25:54 Xiaohuaguang knows no shame.
25:57 That man's a bully.
26:00 You're an honest man.
26:02 You can't beat him.
26:04 I'm not trying to defeat him.
26:07 We have laws in our society.
26:08 He can't just throw money at everything he wants.
26:11 Yes, he can.
26:13 He has.
26:15 He managed to have your shop shut down.
26:17 He can make me a beggar.
26:25 But the kid refuses.
26:27 So he's not taking him anywhere.
26:29 I used to think that.
26:36 You were nothing but a pushover.
26:37 I didn't know that in hard times,
26:40 the best person to rely on would be you.
26:43 Even pushovers fight back.
26:51 And we're talking about my son.
26:54 What kind of parent would that make me?
26:56 You really are a pushover.
27:05 You really are a better parent.
27:06 No, no, that's not what I'm saying.
27:12 Let me get to the point.
27:15 That Xiaohuaguang, he's a piece of trash.
27:18 But I asked around.
27:21 And he's a rich man with a barren wife.
27:23 He's rich and horrible.
27:26 He wants a legacy.
27:28 So he finally remembered Zuzhou, his only son.
27:30 It's a win-win.
27:31 So take it.
27:33 You...
27:36 You want Zuzhou to live with him?
27:38 Zuzhou hasn't shown interest in his lifestyle.
27:41 That's what I came here for.
27:45 With the kind of lifestyle you have,
27:47 you can't let him study abroad.
27:49 You don't have the money.
27:51 And he probably won't want to leave you.
27:53 I'm not going to let him.
27:56 I'm not going to let him.
27:59 Why?
28:00 Because he may be thinking
28:02 that he owes it to you to stay.
28:04 He probably thinks
28:06 that his life has to be spent by your side.
28:09 Like you said, Zuzhou is your son.
28:16 I'm a stranger.
28:18 I only gave birth to him.
28:20 But I have advice.
28:22 I think being his father,
28:24 you'd want him to have a better future.
28:28 Will you let him, or will you not?
28:29 It's your decision.
28:32 Anyway, I'm leaving.
28:37 Pretend I wasn't here.
28:40 And for Zuzhou's own good,
28:42 don't tell him I was.
28:44 You know, Zuzhou would want to see you.
28:47 Let me be honest.
28:54 I'm married now.
28:57 My husband doesn't know I have a son.
28:59 So to me, Zuzhou is just...
29:04 a burden.
29:07 Wait a moment.
29:11 I'll only take what you owe me.
29:12 Don't worry about his future.
29:30 Just go and live your own life.
29:33 With the kind of lifestyle you have,
29:34 you can't let him study abroad.
29:36 You don't have the money.
29:38 And he probably won't want to leave you.
29:40 Because he may be thinking
29:42 that he owes it to you to stay.
29:44 He probably thinks
29:46 that his life has to be spent by your side.
29:49 You're not his father.
29:51 You're not his son.
29:53 You're not his mother.
29:55 You're not his father.
29:57 You're not his son.
29:59 You're not his mother.
30:01 Your life has to be spent by your side.
30:03 Like you said, Zuzhou is your son.
30:07 I'm a stranger.
30:09 I only gave birth to him.
30:11 But I have advice.
30:13 I think, being his father,
30:15 you'd want him to have a better future.
30:17 Will you let him?
30:19 Or will you not?
30:21 It's your decision.
30:30 I mean, she's already out of danger,
30:31 but she's still not stable.
30:33 She's still in intensive care.
30:35 I didn't have a choice.
30:37 I've already called my unit
30:39 to explain the situation.
30:41 Chen Ting is in critical condition.
30:43 How can I leave?
30:45 I really have no choice.
30:47 Exactly.
30:49 Your mom's finally out of danger.
30:52 What a crazy couple of days.
30:54 I mean, what's the deal?
30:57 Why is everybody in the hospital?
30:59 What do you mean?
31:00 Who else is sick?
31:02 Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
31:04 That's not what I mean.
31:06 Hey, Xiao, could you maybe
31:08 come back home before your birthday?
31:10 I think I'll be home in two days.
31:14 But then,
31:16 how are you going to apply for college?
31:18 Are you stupid?
31:20 It's online.
31:22 Oh.
31:25 Hmm.
31:26 Oh, by the way,
31:30 Mingya's mom has stuff she wants you to have for college.
31:32 Some fancy pens for you and Ziqiu.
31:34 And her mom's also wondering
31:36 if you can copy your notes for her
31:38 so Mingya can read them.
31:40 Okay.
31:42 I was going to sell them for scrap.
31:44 Ask Ziqiu to give her my notes.
31:46 All right, all right.
31:48 Okay, I'll hang up now.
31:50 Hey, wait.
31:53 Bro,
31:54 I miss you so much, you know.
31:56 Please come back home soon.
31:58 Love you, love you.
32:00 Is that okay?
32:02 Sounded fake.
32:07 Yeah, yeah, tough luck. Bye.
32:09 What is it?
32:13 You mean it really sounded fake?
32:15 I miss you so much, you know.
32:17 Ew.
32:19 (Mingya crying)
32:20 Although the patient's no longer critical,
32:29 she still has a lot of healing to do.
32:31 She has suffered multiple fractures,
32:33 soft tissue damage,
32:35 but the worst of her injuries is lower body paralysis.
32:37 Her spinal cord was damaged in the crash.
32:40 The surgery was a success,
32:42 but as her family,
32:44 you have to be ready for a long recovery.
32:46 She will need physical therapy
32:48 and it will take a long time.
32:49 What are you telling us?
32:51 She won't be able to walk?
32:53 It's hard to be certain at this point.
32:55 It depends on her recovery.
32:57 There are many patients
32:59 who respond well to rehabilitation.
33:01 They actively participate in the healing process,
33:03 but it takes a lot of willpower,
33:05 not just from the patient, but also her family.
33:17 At a time like this,
33:18 my sister is still in intensive care
33:20 and you're leaving her with nothing?
33:22 Who's leaving her with nothing, huh?
33:24 Could you show a little gratitude?
33:26 It was my parents who paid.
33:28 Paid in full both of their medical bills.
33:30 My brother's insurance money, that's now hers.
33:33 You know how much that amounts to?
33:35 That's a couple of million.
33:37 Your sister will want for nothing.
33:39 Listen to me.
33:41 My father has been paralyzed for 10 years.
33:43 Mom takes care of herself and my poor dad.
33:46 I have decided that we will bring up Qin Meiyang.
33:48 How can you say that's nothing?
33:50 I'll make this clear.
33:52 That woman in the ICU is just my brother's wife.
33:55 Now my brother's dead,
33:57 so your sister is no longer related to us.
33:59 Now you are her brother,
34:01 and she has a grown son.
34:03 Figure it out.
34:05 This is your family problem.
34:07 How is that supposed to make sense?
34:09 So your brother dying dissolves all his relationships?
34:11 So Ling Xiao, he's still her son, isn't he?
34:13 We've taken care of everything.
34:15 We didn't leave just like that.
34:16 So about your mom.
34:25 What do you think?
34:28 I don't think about it.
34:32 Listen.
34:35 You're 18 years old.
34:37 You're a grown up.
34:39 Your mom is badly injured,
34:42 which means
34:44 you have to care for her.
34:45 You have to make
34:47 a lot of decisions.
34:49 What are you trying to say?
34:53 Let me try to explain.
34:55 Your college entrance test results
34:58 tell me you've done very well.
35:01 You can go to any university.
35:04 With your mother's situation,
35:06 she has to spend more time in the hospital,
35:09 and it's going to take a long time.
35:12 Now you,
35:13 you can study here in Singapore.
35:15 That way,
35:17 you can take care of your mother
35:19 while going to college.
35:21 It's the best of both worlds.
35:23 What do you think?
35:25 What do I think?
35:27 I don't want to.
35:29 But she's your mother.
35:31 You're supposed to care about her.
35:33 She didn't care about me after the divorce.
35:35 Why should I care about her now?
35:38 I don't want to.
35:42 What your mother did was wrong.
35:44 But regardless, she's your mother.
35:47 And you're her son.
35:49 You should forgive her.
35:51 Oh, really? Why?
35:53 Because she's your mother.
35:55 You wouldn't be here without her.
35:57 Nisha,
36:00 do you really not care about her?
36:02 What about you?
36:04 Do you care?
36:08 I do.
36:09 What can I do?
36:12 I already took a month off from my department.
36:15 And your aunt,
36:17 she keeps calling me to come back home.
36:19 I've already done my best.
36:24 As her brother,
36:26 this is all I can do for her.
36:31 [music]
36:32 Ow!
36:40 What are you saying?
36:42 That hurts.
36:44 Did you choose going to study abroad?
36:46 Why would you want that?
36:48 Old man, have you lost your mind?
36:50 Do you want to break my neck?
36:52 Alright, alright, forget that.
36:54 Let's discuss this.
36:56 Why abroad?
36:58 What's wrong with studying abroad?
37:01 Oh my gosh.
37:02 I asked around.
37:04 I spoke to Ju-pong's mother about the arrangement.
37:06 You know what?
37:08 Ju-pong's cousin is now studying abroad.
37:10 And she said that she's enjoying the experience.
37:12 But it does cost a lot.
37:15 And a hundred thousand.
37:17 But it's all good.
37:19 When she comes back here, she's as good as employed.
37:21 And foreign employers,
37:24 they're very generous.
37:26 Two hundred thousand basic annual salaries.
37:29 Think about it.
37:30 It's good to study abroad.
37:32 But poor people like us,
37:34 we can't afford to pay for that, huh?
37:36 We're too poor.
37:38 No matter what we do, we can't afford it.
37:40 What's with the sudden change of heart?
37:45 Just the other day,
37:47 you were gnashing your teeth
37:49 and you wanted to hire a lawyer.
37:51 You wanted to sue.
37:53 And then this all of a sudden?
37:55 It's not that.
37:58 I'm thinking about Zu-cho's future now.
37:59 No, don't tell Zu-cho about that.
38:01 He won't say yes.
38:03 I know that.
38:05 And that's exactly where you come in, right?
38:07 Here's the plan.
38:09 If he doesn't agree to it,
38:11 maybe we'll have more luck if we talk to him as a family.
38:13 Hey, there's this bird called the cuckoo.
38:18 The female lays eggs in other birds' nests.
38:21 The other bird sits on her eggs,
38:23 and in time, her eggs will hatch.
38:25 And then the cuckoo comes back
38:27 and takes them back.
38:28 Do you know what you are?
38:30 The cuckold who cares for others' eggs for nothing.
38:33 Oh, you.
38:37 Just stop talking about birds and their issues.
38:39 It's not the same, okay?
38:41 This little hatchling that we have in our nest,
38:43 he's different, okay?
38:45 I'm confident that if someone swoops in and takes him,
38:47 brings him up and pays for college,
38:49 well, once his wings harden, right?
38:52 Our hatchling will fly home.
38:56 Because he's gonna miss us.
38:57 It's stupid, but you know what?
39:00 Chow Wah Gwong is stupider.
39:02 Yeah, you're starting to make some sense.
39:07 They're our children, and they're loyal.
39:10 Exactly, they are.
39:12 We have to start thinking more broadly about things.
39:14 Focus on the long-term goal.
39:16 It does make sense.
39:19 Right? Are you in?
39:21 No, no, we can't.
39:25 What?
39:26 It's too far. Just flying out,
39:28 it takes dozens of hours, you know?
39:30 Seriously, don't sweat the small stuff.
39:32 They need to grow strong.
39:34 So we need to let them go.
39:36 Why are you suddenly so heartless?
39:40 You can say whatever you want.
39:43 But, but, we still have a deal, right?
39:47 Tell me we have a deal.
39:54 All right, all right, all right.
39:55 Great, let's do it.
39:57 Okay, where was I?
40:02 Can't find my last entry.
40:04 Oh, I messed up all these bills.
40:06 Read it out loud, I'll calculate.
40:09 Okay?
40:12 One sixteen.
40:14 Zero, zero.
40:16 Dad? Adelaide?
40:23 Hi, I'm home.
40:24 Where's your classmate?
40:26 Oh, his mother asked him to go home.
40:28 Uh, Jin Jin?
40:30 She's enjoying her vacation.
40:32 She's with Chi Ming-Yin.
40:34 Go wash up, let's have dinner.
40:36 Hey, you're drenched in sweat.
40:39 Hey.
40:45 You can convince him, but I won't.
40:47 Anyway, he listens to you, right?
40:49 But we said you're going to help me out.
40:52 It's a huge thing.
40:53 I haven't decided.
40:55 How dare you go back on your word right now?
40:57 I'm not going back on my word.
40:59 If we're not…
41:01 All right, take a seat.
41:03 Hey.
41:05 Oh, ice for dinner?
41:06 Yes, eat up.
41:08 Let me try.
41:10 Dad, earlier today, my teacher called.
41:18 He talked about college applications.
41:21 Oh.
41:22 Uh, okay, what did he say?
41:24 He suggested Beijing, Jiatong Uni.
41:27 But I told him I'd talk to you first.
41:30 That's good news, right?
41:32 That's your dream university, isn't it?
41:34 Well, I support you.
41:36 Go.
41:38 Since we're both home today,
41:43 I'd like to discuss it with you guys.
41:46 Sure.
41:48 Let's go.
41:50 Please.
41:51 Yes, let's discuss it.
41:52 I've been thinking about it recently.
41:55 Well, I think…
41:58 I still want to study abroad.
