Original subtitles

Eight-pack abs

Dance a little for your sister

I'll give you a bonus

Are you done making a scene?

Let go of me

Jiang Tang

Do you have any shame left?

I just got back from the army

You couldn't wait

To climb into my bed

What did you say?

You did everything you could

Drugged me to get pregnant

I married you

So I'll take care of you for life

But I have no obligation

To go along with your nonsense

This dream feels so real

Me

Aren't I on a world tour?

Jiang Tang, the queen of dance

Through ancient Xia Dynasty records

Unearthed in 1980

She perfectly recreated

The Xia Dynasty folk dance, Spirit of the Sparrow

Bringing us

A stunning visual feast

So beautiful

Right

She dances amazingly well

So beautiful, so captivating

Yes, just stunning

That's Ms. Jiang Tang's

99th world tour performance

I can never get enough of watching her

I heard Ms. Jiang Tang

Has a hereditary heart condition

Can she handle these back-to-back shows?

What's wrong with Ms. Jiang Tang?

What's wrong with Ms. Jiang Tang?

What's wrong with Ms. Jiang Tang?

Is it her heart acting up?

My heart hurts so bad

This isn't a dream

I've time-traveled to 1980

And I'm pregnant

Well, I'm here now

If I can use a few lines from an ancient text

To recreate Xia Dynasty dance

Can I really fail

In the 1980s?

Ouch

Am I going to have a miscarriage?

Why does it hurt so much!

I have no strength at all

No way

Could it be because earlier

I pushed myself too hard?

Help!

Tang Tang, is that you talking?

It's Great Grandma Lu Yanli.

Great Grandma, my stomach hurts so bad!

Please help me.

Oh my heavens

I've never suffered for love

Yet now I have to endure pregnancy pains.

Tang Tang, open the door!

Great Grandma can't get in.

The Lu family

This daughter-in-law is really a handful.

How many times has she caused trouble this month?

The Lus have such a high-ranking official

And still ended up with

A woman who doesn't belong on stage

As a daughter-in-law

Always causing trouble.

No wonder Yanli

Never goes near her.

Keep your voice down!

Jiang Tang is already insecure.

If she hears you talking like this

And then does something

To hurt the baby

What would you do?

Stop defending her!

Jiang Tang is so dark and ugly

Nothing like Xinyue

Who's pretty with a great body

And a star in the arts troupe.

Yeah, Xinyue dances beautifully

And she's cute too

She and Yanli are a much better match.

But she's pregnant now!

Ah!

Twins again

A little temper is nothing

Don't talk about

My granddaughter-in-law like that!

Sigh.

Leave it alone.

I gave you an aphrodisiac.

Animal aphrodisiac, at that!

You-you-you slept with me

You've got to take responsibility!

If you don't

I'll just keep causing trouble

At your workplace every day

I'll ruin your reputation!

Sister-in-law

Mom sent someone specially

To bring you back from Shanghai

A cream cake.

You're pregnant

So eat more.

Go tell Lu Yanli right now!

If he doesn't come home, I'll go on a hunger strike!

I'll starve his kid to death!

That cake

You can't even buy it in the big city

And you're just wasting it?

What's your problem?

You want to hit me, huh?

The original owner did everything she could

To force Lu Yanli to marry her.

No wonder I feel weak.

I haven't even drunk a sip of water

Since yesterday morning.

She's really dead set

On starving herself and the baby.

Great, it's milk!

We're saved!

What's going on?

Oh, throwing a tantrum again?

Even with all this money

The Lu family can't just waste things like this!

How many cups

Does she have to break?

Stop talking, Captain Lu is here!

Captain Lu is here!

Great Grandma!

What's wrong?

Yanli, where have you been?

Your wife was calling for help!

Go check on her!

Don't worry.

Jiang Tang!

Stop it, open the door!

I...

I need enough strength to open the door too.

Help...

Me...

Yanli!

Jiang Tang

is probably just upset

Don't worry.

Jiang Tang!

Jiang Tang!

Jiang Tang!

Reporting.

Come in.

Captain Lu

The head cook himself

Made this chicken soup

To nourish your wife

The captain's wife.

This is

My husband in this era.

So young and already a captain

From a military family, three generations.

His parents are both cadres.

Isn't this

The archetypal high-ranking officer?

Who knows what the original owner was thinking.

Drink it while it's hot.

Be good, babies

Once Mommy's full

You won't feel bad anymore.

You're on a hunger strike again?

The doctor said

You fainted

Because of malnutrition.

I'll move back from

The army today

And take care of you.

But you have to promise

You cannot

Have any more thoughts about me.

Mhm.

Lu Yanli

I was out of my mind before

So honestly

I didn't mean to go on hunger strike

Or waste food

Or upset your family.

Also

To force you.

This whole time

You've already offended

Everyone in the family compound.

They're all mad at you.

Jiang Tang!

I'll say it again

No matter what you do

I will never love you.

But if

You fulfill

A mother's duty

I'll treat you respectfully.

If you

Threaten me by starving yourself again

I want to eat!

You want to eat.

Of course

You're carrying twins

How can you not eat?

So when I just brought you chicken soup

why didn't you take it?

What are you trying to pull now?

You've never been pregnant

Of course you don't know

how hard it is to be pregnant.

My back aches and I'm exhausted right now

I can't even get up.

Help me up!

Hurry!

The baby is still hungry.

Jiang Tang

The way you're holding Yanli

It's really not appropriate

No matter the era,

There are always girls pretending to be sweet.

If she jumped into a well,

everyone in the village

could drink Dragon Well tea.

Now you're even coaching

us on what we do as a couple

Why don't you just sleep under our bed

so you can give us guidance anytime?

I'm just being kind

Yanli

doesn't even like you

You think what you're doing

will make him hate you even more.

Kindness?

You walked through the door

and your eyes were basically glued

to my husband.

Kindness? Or just being shameless?

You know in your heart.

You

Yanli

I didn't mean it that way

Ouch

My stomach hurts again

Lu Yanli

Our baby

starts kicking me every time she talks

It's killing me

You're not even good at lying

A three-month-old fetus

isn't even as big as an egg

What would it know?

You're deliberately saying this

to make me leave

You should go home first

Yanli

The doctor said

It's normal to feel uncomfortable

in early pregnancy

Just lie down for now

I'll handle your discharge paperwork

Hey

You really have no shame

Always using the baby to tie him down

Yanli

Let's see how long

you can keep acting.

I'm tying my own husband to me

What's so shameful about that?

You stare every day

at someone else's husband

That's what's shameless

You

So what?

You don't even

understand Yanli at all

If you hadn't drugged him that time

and forced him to sleep with you once

He'd never have married you

I'm the star of the performance troupe

Yanli and I

are the perfect match

Oh

So that's it

You just want to get yourself a house

What?

You're so defensive

Just because you saw I could sleep with

your male idol, Lu Yanli

you're so triggered

You're shameless

This original character was really something

You can be beautiful when you're pregnant, too

Ah

What did you just call me?

If Mom and Great-Grandma hear you

they'll think I did something

to you

So suddenly showing up late at night,

Who wouldn't be startled?

I'm your child's father.

What are you afraid of?

Don't try to get chummy with me.

Even though I'm pregnant with your child

I don't know your zodiac sign, blood type,

or MBTI.

Not a single one.

We're not close at all.

We're not close, but you

still slept with me?

You!

What exactly are you doing here?

Lie down and take off your clothes.

Take off my clothes?

W-What do you want?

What's that in your hand?

Mom asked a friend

to bring you a bottle from America,

pregnancy massage oil.

Use it to massage your belly,

It can soothe the baby

and relieve discomfort.

This Mom is the original's mother-in-law.

Looks like except for this ice-face

everyone else in the Lu family

treats the original really well.

What are you thinking about?

Are you using it or not?

Oh, I can do it myself.

You can go.

Are you sure?

With your little short arms, can you even reach?

Me?

Move over and lie down.

What are you plotting again?

So mother-in-law works at the performance troupe.

Yeah.

Did you forget?

She's the troupe leader.

Are they still hiring at the performance troupe?

I want to get a job.

A job?

You don't have any talents at all,

What kind of job?

Just focus on your pregnancy at home.

You don't even like me

If I don't find a job

and you divorce me someday,

I won't even have food to eat.

Just let me try!

Besides,

proper exercise

is good for pregnant women.

And I won't have time

to bother you anymore.

Win-win!

I'll talk to Mom

You can report to the troupe tomorrow.

But just one thing

No causing trouble.

Okay!

If you still

don't trust me,

you can come supervise me.

No time.

This year I'm leading the whole unit

to complete field management

and all stages of production tasks

as well as the public service work

assigned by the troupe.

This year we planted cotton

on 5,982 mu

with an estimated yield of 3.39 million kilos.

Okay!

If you still

don't trust me,

you can come supervise me.

Report complete.

Captain Lu,

Commander Zhou has finished his report.

Okay, meeting paused.

Come with me outside.

Yes, sir!

Hey!

All morning,

we've interviewed so many people,

and not one of them

can dance a traditional folk dance!

The performance is just around the corner

What are we supposed to do?

Troupe leader,

Don't worry

Folk dances are really difficult

Honestly,

few people can really master them.

Even our star performer

Su Xinyue

does ballet,

and she's won quite a few awards, right?

We're the national troupe,

If we can't even produce

a decent folk dance,

How can we call ourselves artists for the troops?

How can we face our soldiers?

We could start by

picking a few applicants

with decent basic skills

and train them slowly.

Talented people take time to grow.

Even 'Spirit of the Bird' is getting recognition now

The future of folk dance

will only get brighter.

Next.

Anyone else back there?

Aunt Su, that's all.

Su Xinyue

Even though

I watched you grow up.

But this is the Art Troupe.

You need to watch how you address people.

I'm sorry, Captain.

Everyone who's here for the audition

is all here now.

Ugh.

Not a single qualified one!

That's it for today's

interviews.

Wait a second!

I haven't had my interview yet!

Jiang Tang, this is the Art Troupe

not a circus!

Why are you here?

I'm here

obviously

to prove you wrong!

You embarrassed yourself in the family compound,

wasn't that enough?

Now you came here too,

dragging the captain into your mess!

You're going too far!

Tang Tang, you're pregnant,

don't get upset.

Come, sit over here.

Yan Li

already talked to me.

I've arranged for you

to work in the troupe cafeteria

handing out milk to everyone.

No need for an interview.

Why not? Why don't I need an interview?

Captain, is this your daughter-in-law?

I heard she's pregnant with twins,

you're really lucky!

You're too kind.

Tang Tang

come, have some water and rest a bit.

In a while

Mom will take you to have lunch in the cafeteria.

Mom, I don't want to go to the cafeteria.

Are you going on a hunger strike again?

Are you really threatening people like this now?

Captain Su

is stressed out

because she can't

find a suitable dancer!

Who has time to deal with your nonsense.

Don't worry, Mom.

I'll never go on a hunger strike again.

I mean

I don't want to work in the cafeteria.

You don't want to work in the cafeteria?

Then what do you want to do?

I want to join the Art Troupe

and dance ethnic dance!

She wants to join the Art Troupe

Did I hear that right?

Jiang Tang

wants to dance ethnic?

She probably can't even do

broadcast exercises.

She should look at herself first.

Captain, these past few days

we've interviewed so many people

Not one can do ethnic dance.

And you say you can?

I've actually recreated

the 'Spirit of the Sparrow

the queen of ethnic dance.

Isn't this exactly

my field of expertise?

Su Xinyue!

You really are looking down on me.

Mom, I'm confident.

I will definitely become

the best

ethnic dancer in the troupe.

You're really arrogant.

So many

top dance academy students

came for interviews and didn't get in,

and you think

you're definitely the best?

Hmph!

Exactly.

Back in the day, Senior Su

won awards every year

at our school,

even she had to work hard for three years

to become the lead.

How is it as easy as you think?

Jiang Tang

I understand you

always have to be competitive,

even being pregnant can't keep you

from wanting to stand out.

But

you're someone who's never

learned to dance,

and you want to join the Art Troupe,

and specifically request ethnic dance,

isn't that making things difficult for the captain?

Exactly!

People who don't know their place

should be kicked out.

Being pregnant isn't a disability.

Back in our day

pregnant women could look great too.

Why is it, according to you,

pregnant women are just

washed-out and ugly?

Su Xinyue!

I haven't even started yet

and you're already running your mouth.

Plus

who says pregnant women

can only stay at home?

Can't pregnant women

contribute to society,

too?

Are you discriminating against pregnant women

or just against women?

Don't twist my words!

That's not what I meant.

Then why are you stopping me?

Are you afraid I'll take

your lead dancer spot?

You wish.

You're the one who wishes!

I'm going to dance 'Spirit of the Sparrow' now

and put you to shame.

Spirit of the Sparrow,' what?

You actually know 'Spirit of the Sparrow'?

The earliest ethnic dance

recorded in Xia dynasty history books.

It was lost three thousand years ago,

who wouldn't know about it?

Jiang Tang!

I can't believe you're using 'Spirit of the Sparrow

as a joke,

you really disappoint me.

Mom, did I say something wrong?

You claiming you know

ethnic dance, fine.

But saying you know 'Spirit of the Sparrow

maybe I've spoiled you

too much

so you don't know

your place anymore.

But I really can dance it.

Just last week

the archeology team found

the Xia dynasty records

describing the 'Spirit of the Sparrow' dance steps.

And you claim you can already do it?

If that's not nonsense,

what is it?

Right,

it's 1980 right now.

The Xia dynasty texts

were only just excavated.

But whatever,

if you can dance, you can dance.

Just give me a chance,

and I'll show these snobs

who's the real queen of dance.

Before you got married

I already

investigated your background.

You've never even

learned to dance.

Dancing the 'Spirit of the Sparrow

is even more far-fetched.

But just because you couldn't before

doesn't mean you can't now.

After you got married, you stayed

home every day,

when did you

learn to dance,

how come I never knew?

People in the family compound

all have complaints about you,

and I even supported you.

Now it seems

maybe I was wrong.

Didn't expect you to be so immature,

using the founder of ethnic dance,

something so sacred,

just as a joke.

Captain Su values

the heritage of ethnic dance the most.

I heard even her own daughter

wasn't allowed to

learn ethnic dance

because she didn't qualify.

Originally,

Commander Lu didn't like her either.

Now it's even worse,

even her mother-in-law is offended.

Jiang Tang

is probably going to get kicked out.

Tsk.

She totally deserves it.

She thinks the Art Troupe

belongs to her family.

Mom,

please just let me try.

I promise

I helped you reconstruct the Xia Dynasty

The treasure of ethnic dance: The Spirit of the Peacock

Stop messing around here

Besides, you're pregnant

Jumping around like that

is bad for your health

You should go back and rest

My teacher was pregnant

and still danced at seven months

And moderate exercise

is actually good for pregnant women

Mom, just let me try it

The reputation of ethnic dance

is not for you to ruin

Mom

Even the troupe leader said you could leave

Why are you still hanging around?

Are you planning to use the same tricks you used on Yanli

Being shameless again?

So handsome

Yanli

Yanli

Wow

Director Su

Just let her give it a try

Lu Yanli

Why did you come?

I came to check on you

To make sure you're not getting into trouble.

Yanli!

You came at the perfect time.

Hurry up and take your wife

home to rest up,

Don't let her run around anymore!

Director Su,

Since Jiang Tang is so confident,

let her perform a dance.

It won't

really affect the baby.

Yeah,

Fetal health actually depends on the man's

sperm quality.

Lu Yanli's baby

will be just fine.

Shut up!

Yanli!

Hurry up and take her back,

Don't let her

keep making a scene.

I'll stay and protect her,

Any negative outcomes

I'll take full responsibility.

You're a soldier too,

You know perfectly well

how important the art performers are.

They train so hard

just to help

relieve the soldiers' stress.

Such a crucial role,

isn't for fooling around.

You don't get that?

I get it,

but the thing is,

She never gives up

until she gets what she wants.

You know that better than anyone, right?

But,

But the dance she wants to perform,

is 'Spirit of the Peacock',

which is recorded in the history books as

the hardest ethnic dance.

How could she possibly know how to do it?

Su Xinyue,

If you can't dance, step aside,

And stop talking nonsense.

Am I talking nonsense?

You'll see in a minute.

Why did Professor Xu come in person?

I heard Director Su is

Professor Xu's last student.

This time, because of the ancient Xia Dynasty texts

mentioning 'Spirit of the Peacock',

Professor Xu specially organized

a research team.

They're here this time

mainly to recruit Director Su.

Wait a minute,

Is Professor Xu

specialized in 'Spirit of the Peacock'?

Of course.

Jiang Tang just now

was bragging that she

could dance 'Spirit of the Peacock'.

Who would have thought,

she'd walk right into this.

I bet Jiang Tang,

someone who can't even dance,

is going to embarrass herself

insulting the Xia Dynasty's treasure in front of Director Su's mentor,

and humiliate the whole Lu family?

Jiang Tang,

just wait until the Lu family

kicks you out.

This young lady looks unfamiliar

Is she a new

dancer in the art troupe?

Hello

When I was first learning

Professor Xu had already passed away

I never thought in the 1980s

I'd get to see

Professor Xu himself

a titan in the field of ethnic dance

Professor Xu

Are you really Professor Xu?

I can't believe I finally get to see you in person

Ahem

Stop talking nonsense

Professor Xu

She's really something

Never danced before

yet claims she can do the Spirit of the Peacock

If you hadn't come in

and interrupted her

she might have already

shocked us all by now

Su Xinyue

Enough

Spirit of the Peacock

Young lady

I've studied

the Spirit of the Peacock for fifty years

And I've only scratched the surface

Do you really know how to dance

this?

I do

I never thought that I'd actually

get to dance the Spirit of the Peacock before my

spiritual leader, Professor Xu

I could die happy now

Wait until Professor Xu leaves

I'll give you another chance to perform

But don't act up now

Yanli

Jiang Tang says she can dance the Spirit of the Peacock

Speaking of the Spirit of the Peacock

probably no one knows it better

than Professor Xu in all of China

Right now

is the perfect moment for a performance

Professor Xu

Can I perform for you?

Professor

You've had a long and tiring journey

Kids are just being kids

Please don't mind her

Yanli, hurry and take her away

You

She's young

Give her a chance

Since she loves to dance

Why are you all holding her back?

Young lady

Start your performance

Alright then, I'll go change

Talk about embarrassment,

She's making a fool of herself for everyone to see

Embarrassing us in front of Professor Xu

She's making the whole art troupe

look bad

Let's see how you'll fix this later

Professor Xu

Jiang Tang just loves dancing

She's never had any training

If her performance isn't good

please don't blame her

Wow, she's so beautiful

That opening pose

is exactly like the one in the ancient texts

It's exactly the same

How could she possibly know how to dance

and be this good at it?

Even being pregnant doesn't stop me

from being a beautiful and graceful

mama-to-be

Wow, her fundamentals are solid

She's like a peacock spirit

Professor Xu

Her movements

are exactly how they're described

in the ancient texts

It's really the Spirit of the Peacock

Maybe she just saw

the ancient texts in advance

and is copying them

Impossible

The texts were just discovered

Fewer than three people have seen them

Are you saying

I'm being biased?

You're bold to talk nonsense

in front of Professor Xu

Sorry, Director

For stealing the spotlight

May you and your baby

just die together

Wow

That's wonderful

I didn't expect that coming here this time

I'd actually find a treasure.

Such a wonderful dancer

can't be left unnoticed.

Tangtang,

I apologize for my words and actions

just now.

I didn't realize

you danced so well.

You're just like the

peacock fairy

on TV.

I'm a world-renowned dancer who's had

a hundred sold-out

world tours.

Tickets are always hard to get,

so you all are lucky.

You

didn't manage to take down this bitch,

instead you

gave her a chance to throw herself at him.

Stand properly.

You're pregnant and still

so reckless.

Don't talk to my

daughter-in-law like that.

Tangtang,

you did really well.

I'm proud of you.

Mom.

So,

can I join

the arts troupe now?

Of course.

If you join

our arts company,

it'll be a blessing for all of us.

That's awesome!

Our troupe finally has

a dancer who's good at folk dance.

Did you hear that?

Don't think I can't do anything.

I'm actually really talented.

No wonder,

with my sense of balance,

how could I easily fall?

Turns out it was you, troublemaker,

trying to harm me.

Mom.

Uh, no,

Captain Su.

As the new member,

I'd like to make a suggestion.

Go ahead.

Everyone just saw

I almost fell just now.

If my husband hadn't

caught me in time,

I might have

already miscarried.

But I

clearly felt that

I slipped on something

which is why I fell.

So

I ask Captain to investigate thoroughly

who

left something on the stage,

and have this person found

to set an example.

There were so many people

coming and going on stage today,

it's normal

for something to fall out.

If every time something's dropped,

we have to investigate,

how are we supposed to rehearse?

Don't think just because

you're the troupe leader's daughter-in-law

and you're pregnant,

you can act all high and mighty.

Exactly.

You just joined our arts troupe

and you're already making a big fuss,

disrupting everyone.

It's precisely because earlier

we didn't investigate thoroughly

that we're having these safety hazards.

The stage is where everyone usually

performs,

and practices dance.

If we don't pay attention

to stage safety,

what if next time someone steps on

something and gets hurt,

maybe breaks a bone,

the ones affected will be

the whole group's interests.

Captain Lu is right.

I agree too.

These years,

I've seen too many great dancers

forced to leave the stage

because of injuries.

It's such a pity.

Go check it out.

Yes.

Captain Lu, I found it.

Huh, what's this?

Looks familiar. Whose is it?

Sister Xinyue?

Isn't this your earring?

I didn't mean to,

I must've dropped it

by accident while dancing.

Yanli, you won't blame me, will you?

You're the reason Jiang Tang almost got hurt?

You should ask Jiang Tang

if she's mad at you.

Jiang Tang, sweetie,

I know you're only relying

on the baby in your belly

to keep Yanli's feelings for you.

How could I possibly want to

hurt you on purpose and make you fall?

You're not mad at me, right?

Always with the shady comments.

That's just like you.

Even though I know

you've been after Lu Yanli

for a long time,

how could you be the type

to deliberately want me to miscarry,

so that Lu Yanli would dump

me, like some scheming bitch?

You...

Am I wrong?

You're right.

Xinyue.

I always thought

you were a careful kid.

Didn't expect

you could be so careless,

almost causing a huge mistake.

Here's the deal.

From now on after every practice,

you stay 10 minutes late

and check the stage for safety.

I...

Careful!

Thank you.

Go back to work.

I won't cause you

any more trouble.

You dance really well.

But you're pregnant,

will it affect you?

There are plenty of things you can do while pregnant,

even married life isn't affected.

As long as it's not too strenuous.

Moderate exercise anyway

is good for natural birth.

It's especially good for the baby.

Good for the baby.

Yeah.

Now you're

actually thinking about

our child.

I'm the mother,

of course the baby comes first.

Now that I have a job,

I can finally

support myself.

I know you don't love me,

and you only married me for the child.

I promise I won't

cling to you anymore.

I'll raise the child myself.

Raise it yourself?

What do you mean?

Lu Yanli,

let's get a divorce.

You want to divorce me?

Yeah.

Anyway,

isn't that what you want too?

You want to divorce me.

People these days,

there's not even a cooling-off period for divorce.

Come on, let's go right now

to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get our divorce papers.

What kind of trick are you pulling now?

You know full well that right now

you're pregnant.

Not to mention my mother

and grandma wouldn't allow it,

even the organization

wouldn't allow me to divorce

a pregnant woman.

Is that so?

I really didn't know.

Then you go tell the organization that I'm

the one asking for the divorce, okay?

When I got married

I applied for it once.

Now it's barely two months and I have to

apply for a divorce again.

Do you think the organization has nothing else to do?

Not working on economic development,

just spending all day with me getting married,

divorced, and playing around?

Is it really that complicated?

I'm sorry.

In the past,

I caused you too much trouble.

So

how about we wait

until the baby is born to decide?

Hey!

Aren't we discussing it right now?

See, you're getting worked up again.

Now

I've finally settled myself down

in the 1980s.

When you're out in the world,

respect is something you give yourself.

From now on, I'll be raising the child alone,

so I need to build good relationships with those around me.

Great-grandma.

Little sister-in-law.

Watching TV, are you?

Tangtang.

Come on.

Have some tea.

Come over for some tea.

Great-grandma.

Look

I made you

something delicious to drink.

This is malted milk.

This is taro milk tea.

It's way better than malted milk.

What?

Mud?

It's taro paste.

You just steam taro,

mash it up,

and mix it with black tea and milk.

Try it.

Even though our family

is a cadre family,

we still shouldn't

waste good things like this, right?

You mixed all these good ingredients

into one bowl,

and the color

looks just like yellow muddy water.

Can anyone drink this?

Tingting, stop talking.

Wow, it's delicious.

Isn't it?

This stuff is drinkable,

it's good!

Tingting!

This is something I specially

made for you—

Strawberry and Cheese

Mango Peach Tea.

What kind of name is that?

I'm definitely not drinking that.

Weiwei,

I remember you like grapes.

So I made you

grape fruit tea

You should try it.

I get one too.

Thank you, sis-in-law.

Sis,

Don't you remember how she

used to mess up our whole family?

Do you really think she's that nice now?

I've already changed for the better.

You guys can drink without worry.

Weiwei,

about before,

I ruined your dress,

so here's the latest style

from the department store

to make it up to you.

Sis-in-law,

we're all family,

why talk about compensation?

You must've bought it with my brother's

salary, right?

He risked his life for that money,

and you waste it like this.

What kind of bad karma do we have

to marry such a

money-wasting woman!

You're not worthy of my brother!

Xinyue

is a hundred times better than you.

Tingting, what nonsense are you talking about?

All these things

were bought by Jiang Tang

using an advance from the performance troupe,

not with his own money.

Not mine, either.

From now on,

no one in this house is allowed

to mention irrelevant people,

got it?

Got it.

Let's go.

What's so great about that!

I'm not drinking her stuff.

Wow, that's delicious!

Are you drinking or not?

No.

I will!

Why are you taking off your clothes?

I'm still pregnant!

Don't do anything crazy!

What are you doing now?!

This is my salary for this month.

Buy whatever you want.

Don't worry about saving money for me.

From now on,

don't ever

get any advances from the performance troupe again.

100 yuan.

This Lu Yanli,

gave me his entire month's salary.

Not bad.

Too bad after I give birth,

we're getting divorced.

Did you even hear what I said?

So when we divorce,

is this considered joint property?

Jiang Tang, what are you even saying?

Jiang Tang,

your belly isn't even showing yet,

and you're already thinking about divorcing me

and splitting assets?

It's bound to happen sooner or later.

Do you really

want to spend your life with me?

In early pregnancy,

moods swing wildly,

so it's easy to say crazy things.

You,

at times like this,

should just give in to Tangtang more.

Go to bed.

Now what?

So you can't win an argument,

so you want to "sleep me into submission"?

Lu Yanli, you beast!

I'm pregnant!

Hey!

Don't move!

I'm not moving,

so you don't move either.

I really am not comfortable right now.

Lift your shirt.

Let me put on stretch mark oil for you.

So your tummy won't feel uncomfortable again.

Does applying stretch mark oil

actually ease any discomfort for the baby?

That's just expensive hype,

it's useless.

If you keep this up,

when you're old

you'll be easily tricked into buying supplements,

you know?

So what do you suggest

to make you feel better?

I'll do whatever you say.

I've never been pregnant,

so how should I know?

I got it!

Couple's Pregnancy Yoga.

Yeah.

Are you sure that works?

Of course.

Before I transmigrated,

this always came up on my page.

See?

Big data

never randomly suggests things

for no reason.

So next…

Both hands on my belly.

Like this?

Yeah, just like that—

move in slow circles,

like we're saying hi to

our baby.

The babies are moving.

You feel that?

Is this what they call fetal movement?

Yeah.

Told you

pregnancy yoga helps.

Look,

our baby is responding.

Our baby…

Uh, so—

Don't worry,

even if we get divorced

I'll love your children too.

You'll always be

the kids' father.

Well, thank you for that.

Go to bed early.

What's wrong now?

Babies,

don't you dare

pick up your dad's bad temper.

Sister-in-law looks amazing

dressed up like this.

Even prettier than Sister Xinyue.

Big brother.

Jiang Tang.

Come eat now.

I'll eat on the go.

Sit down and eat slowly.

Today's my first day

reporting to the art troupe.

I can't be late.

Eat slowly.

I'll drive you there in a bit.

Sit here.

Thank you, honey.

Brother and sister-in-law's relationship

is getting better and better.

Commander Lu is personally

driving Jiang Tang to work!

Looks like their relationship

isn't as bad

as the rumors say.

I'm heading out.

Bye-bye.

Wait!

In broad daylight,

how can this happen!

Commander Lu is such an upright man

and he'd do something like this.

It must've been Jiang Tang seducing him!

Haven't you heard?

The only reason Commander Lu married Jiang Tang

is because

Jiang Tang secretly drugged

Commander Lu,

that's how she got pregnant.

Ah!

Exactly.

Otherwise,

the Commander's wife

would've been Sister Xinyue.

Have you said enough yet?!

Sister Xinyue, don't be upset.

There's no way

we could be in the same team

with such a shameless woman.

Seriously.

That's right.

I was already unhappy yesterday.

So what if she can dance 'The Spirit of the Bird'?

She is

the daughter-in-law of Commander Su.

Commander Su and Professor Xu

are so close.

Who knows if

she peeked and learned it in advance.

She's greedy and lazy,

and good for nothing.

I don't believe

she can dance anything besides 'The Spirit of the Bird.

Can she?

Seriously, you guys!

You really think so?

Of course.

We all got into the art troupe

by our own merits.

People like her with connections are the worst!

Exactly.

Today let's go

tell Commander Su

yesterday's evaluation doesn't count!

If they're in, we're out!

What are you wiping so much for?

You've been at it for ages.

It's just a shiny spot

below your eye.

No idea what you got on there.

Why is it so hard to wipe off?

Ugh,

that's my aegyo-sal makeup!

Seriously,

you don't know anything.

Aegyo-sal.

The art performance is about to start.

The lead dancer

will be reselected this time.

Comrade Jiang Tang, morning.

Morning, Director.

A 'connections hire', huh?

Still shows up for work,

instead of lying at home resting

and collecting a paycheck?

What nonsense.

Jiang Tang's ability,

didn't you all see it

yesterday?

Director,

are you going to cover for Jiang Tang too?

Which one of us here

didn't train since childhood,

suffering countless injuries

just to get into the art troupe?

Why should she, as a newbie,

be on the same level as us?

Which of us

isn't one in a hundred?

Now we've got

a total slacker sneaking in.

It's really

embarrassing for our troupe.

Ugh.

Jiang Tang

was personally approved by Commander Su.

Why are you giving the Director a hard time?

Sister Xinyue,

Didn't you hear what the Director just said?

They're reselecting the lead dancer.

You're too easygoing.

That's why people bully you.

Director,

if you don't

kick her out today,

we're quitting the art troupe.

Let Jiang Tang put on a one-woman show.

Yeah, kick her out.

Are you all trying to rebel now?

You keep saying

I got in thanks to Commander Su's connections,

but what about this—

do you dare

make a bet with me?

When it comes to skills,

not a single person here

is better than me.

If you lose,

you apologize to me right here.

And call me

Sister Tangtang.

Deal?

Do you dare accept?

Deal!

I don't believe I'll lose to you.

That's right.

If you lose,

leave the art troupe.

You know,

you're still pregnant.

Competing in a dance-off with them

isn't it too exhausting?

Don't worry, babies.

Mommy's been dancing for years.

I'm already used to this.

I absolutely won't

put you in danger.

Don't worry, Director.

I'm confident

I can convince them.

You're good at modern dance,

right?

Such skilled moves.

You're good at classical dance,

right.

You can do classical dance too?

I heard

you're the ballet queen

of the art troupe.

Jiang Tang,

I didn't expect your fundamentals

to be this solid.

You can do so many dance styles.

Aside from not being able

to judge people

from a crack in the door,

there's actually a lot I'm good at.

So now who won and who lost,

do I really need to say more?

Jiang Tang is still pregnant, you know.

She can still dance

at such a high level?

Ask yourselves honestly,

can you even compare?

Why are you just standing there?

Picking fights so early in the morning!

Hurry up and apologize!

Jiang Tang, sorry.

What did you say?

Oh, um...

Sister Tangtang,

I'm sorry.

Sorry, Sister Tangtang.

I thought you

could only do 'The Spirit of the Bird

and nothing else.

Didn't expect you to be so talented!

Sister Tang,

in all my years of dancing,

I've never seen

anyone as amazing as you!

I hereby declare that

from now on, you're my idol!

Sister Tang!

Idol!

I didn't expect to have fans

so quickly in the 1980s.

Sister Tang,

with so many dance styles,

how did you learn them all?

You're incredible!

I was just dancing casually.

I just have

a tiny bit of talent

combined with a little effort.

By the way,

Director,

I heard our art troupe

is going to pick a new lead dancer.

I wonder

if I'm qualified

to run?

Of course.

Everyone is equal before opportunity.

Those who want to run for lead dancer

can sign up with me later.

Next Monday,

there will be a unified evaluation.

Okay.

Sister Tang!

Sister Tang!

Sister Tang!

Do you need something?

Today was

your first day at the art troupe.

Did it go well?

It was fine.

I gained a bunch of little fangirls.

Oh.

If you're not busy,

please head out.

Close the door for me.

I need to practice my dance.

I'm your husband.

What's wrong

with being in the same room?

You're acting

so strange today.

Stay if you want.

Stand to the side.

Don't get in the way of my practice.

Battalion Commander, something's wrong!

There's a pest plague in the fields!

What?

Take me there.

In this era,

people have just enough to eat.

A pest plague

is no small matter.

The rice fields are swarming;

they're everywhere.

Our entire squad of soldiers

grew crops for a year.

They were about to be harvested,

but they've been cut down by these pests.

Stop crying, Commander Lu is here!

Commander Lu, look!

I caught a few pests,

and now the fields are full of them.

What are we going to do?

What is this?

I've never seen it before.

It looks so disgusting.

Like a cockroach

with so many legs.

Let me see.

Let me see.

She already turned the

family compound upside down.

Now what

nonsense is she up to?

Maybe she saw Commander Lu

with Xinyue

and followed because she's worried.

Exactly.

She finally managed

to marry Commander Lu.

She has to keep a close eye on him.

Honestly,

anyone can see

Xinyue is both beautiful and smart.

Even if she keeps

Commander Lu on a short leash,

it won't help.

Just how badly

did the original owner offend these people?

Sister Jiang Tang,

Yanli is

in trouble right now.

Don't make things worse.

I haven't even done anything,

and you say I'm making trouble?

You're so good at framing people.

Why dance?

Go to the textile factory

and make hats instead.

You...

Enough.

Weren't you practicing at home?

It's crowded and hot here.

Go back and rest.

I've never seen a pest plague.

Let me look.

Maybe I can help.

Help?

Sister Jiang Tang,

honestly,

if you don't cause trouble for Yanli,

that's already helping.

Su Xinyue,

keeping your mouth shut

would be more helpful than anything.

Yanli,

I have an idea.

My uncle

is from the Biotech Institute,

specializing in pesticides.

I'll ask his team to come and exterminate them.

With his ability,

within three days,

these pests

will be wiped out

completely.

What do you think?

The chemicals will harm the soil,

but in this situation,

it's the only option.

Commander Lu,

isn't there any other way?

If we spray pesticides,

these crops

will be completely inedible.

The hard work

our soldiers put in this year

will all go to waste.

The Commander has no choice.

If we don't use pesticides,

given how fast

these pests multiply,

all the fields in the province

will be ruined.

Comrade,

can I see

the bug you caught?

Can I see

the bug you caught?

Sister Jiang Tang,

I've already found

a solution for Yanli.

Stop causing trouble, okay?

The pest problem is serious.

I just want a look.

How is that causing trouble?

Isn't it just because you see Xinyue

helping Commander Lu

and you're unhappy?

She's just jealous.

Spray pesticide if there's a pest.

Who couldn't come up with that?

Am I jealous that she has a mouth?

I want to see

if there is

a better way.

What kind of better way

could you possibly think of?

That's hilarious.

Enough.

At least Jiang Tang

wants to help,

unlike you all.

Whenever you have time,

you just huddle and bicker.

Take a look.

Be careful.

You call this a pest?

Of course.

The fields are full of them now.

Those two big claws

snapped the rice stalks.

I hate them.

That's right.

In this era,

there are no crawfish yet.

Put it down, be careful of the poison.

Poison?

It'll bite you!

It'll bite you!

Stop it!

Alright, alright, stop messing around or I'll bite you.

How is this a pest?

This is clearly a delicacy.

Didn't you hate it?

I'll cook it later.

You should eat a few more.

Eat!

Can this thing be eaten?

Of course.

Back in my hometown,

this is considered a treat.

No problem

that a plate of crawfish

can't solve.

Don't underestimate

the power of a foodie.

No matter how many are in the field,

I'll make sure we all eat them up.

Tonight at the family compound,

I'll treat everyone to spicy crawfish.

If you show up, you get some.

Spicy crawfish, are you sure?

This thing looks so disgusting,

how can you eat it?

I think you seriously want

to poison us!

If you won't eat, I will!

Once it's cooked,

don't drool from craving it!

Could you please go to the field

and catch a few more for me?

I'll cook it myself tonight.

Me.

Yan Li.

Don't let her fool you!

Just use pesticide!

Listen to your sister-in-law!

Yes.

Wow! It smells amazing!

Spicy crawfish,

Garlic crawfish,

Thirteen-spice crawfish,

and braised crawfish,

There's one for everyone!

Try it.

None of you are eating?

Sister-in-law!

I'm the only child in my family,

and my parents are counting on me

to get married and have kids!

I can't afford to get sick!

Captain!

You really want to eat this?

We're not afraid of our enemies,

why be afraid of this thing?

Well...

How do you eat it?

I'll peel it for you.

Try it! It's delicious!

Shameless!

Try it, it's really tasty.

He actually ate it.

It tastes great.

I told you so.

Always believe in

the taste of a foodie.

You should all give it a try.

Eat!

That's an order!

Sister-in-law!

This crawfish is so delicious.

It tastes better than the river shrimp.

Captain's wife,

How did you make this?

Teach me how later.

No problem.

This sauce,

can even be used for noodles.

Taste it quickly!

Thanks for all your hard work today.

You should eat too.

We can protect the rice fields

and let everyone

enjoy good food.

I don't mind the effort.

Don't worry about it,

With the way they eat,

it won't take a month

before the overrun crawfish

become endangered.

Thank you.

Ladies,

I used to be immature,

and offended you all.

Please try some of these.

Jiang Tang,

Just these few

ugly little bugs

to apologize with,

Isn't that a bit disrespectful

to the neighbors in the compound?

I...

Who cares? Let's go.

Jiang Tang,

Let me tell you,

you might as well save your energy.

Even if you help Yan Li

solve his problem,

he still won't like you.

Your soul

will never connect with his.

Oh,

but

I'm his wife.

So what?

Married folks can still get divorced.

But I'm still his wife for now.

Don't get too cocky.

If it wasn't for the kid,

how could Yan Li

have married you?

But I am his wife.

You!

Is that the only thing

you know how to say?

It's not about how much you say,

as long as it annoys you.

You!

Yan Li.

I'm chatting with Jiang Tang,

right now.

This is for you.

You've had a long day,

Go home early.

Okay, honey.

You can draw too?

Who hasn't taken

a couple talent classes?

Look.

Isn't it pretty?

This is

a restaurant.

A bistro.

Thanks to milk tea and crawfish,

I've realized

I have a real talent for food.

So,

I've decided to open a bistro.

Starting now, I'm saving up,

and hoping

to open the place within three years.

You're a pregnant woman,

shouldn't you just focus on resting

instead of thinking about making money?

Earning money is my job.

Go to sleep.

When we divorce,

won't I have to make money to raise the kid?

Plus,

I need to take advantage

of these low prices now,

and buy a few houses.

By then,

I'll be a landlord.

Milk tea with every meal,

bank account in the millions,

spend freely.

Nice!

You still want to divorce me?

Yep.

Don't worry,

this divorce is definitely happening.

And

I've said,

I won't cling to you.

Such firm pecs.

Too bad, after the divorce,

I won't get to touch them.

Should I

take advantage and grope you while I still can?

Jiang Tang.

Hey.

I need to make something clear to you.

I have absolutely no

intention of divorcing you

so stop always

talking nonsense,

rambling,

overthinking,

making trouble,

or else

the baby hears it

and it'll affect their healthy growth.

Go to bed early.

He's actually concerned about pregnancy education.

Good morning, ladies.

Tang Tang, you're here!

It's Monday today,

time to choose a new lead dancer.

How could I not come?

Tang Tang, did you hear?

This lead dancer selection

is different from before.

How is it different?

Previously, when we chose the lead dancer,

we only voted internally.

Whoever got the most votes

became the lead dancer.

But this time, the Family Compound will also

send representatives to participate in the selection.

And their votes

carry a lot of weight.

The representatives from the Family Compound,

the aunties,

I was immature before

and may have offended you all.

Please try these snacks.

Jiang Tang, little sister,

you're just offering these

ugly little bugs

as an apology?

Aren't you

underestimating the neighbors

from the Family Compound a bit?

I

just

Who cares?

Let's go.

Yes.

It was Su Xinyue's idea.

How do you know it was Sister Xinyue

who suggested it to the captain?

Su Xinyue knows very well

that the original me offended

everyone in the Family Compound.

By doing this,

isn't she just trying to get more votes for herself,

so that I can't get chosen as lead dancer?

The captain is here.

Is everyone ready?

Ready!

Today,

the lead dancer we select

will represent our unit

at the provincial art gala.

Everyone, be energetic!

Yes!

This selection

is different from before.

I've invited several representatives

from the Family Compound

to join the selection.

You can still laugh?

If I were you,

I'd withdraw

from the lead dancer selection now,

to avoid having only

two or three people voting for you

and losing face for

your brother Yan Li.

I just don't get it,

you, at your age,

a single young woman,

why are you constantly worried about my husband

being embarrassed?

Plus, the contest hasn't even started yet,

no one knows who'll win or lose.

Maybe I'll impress them

and they'll all vote for me.

All the ladies who came today

are people you've offended before.

Why should

they vote for you?

Because of brains.

Too bad you don't have any.

Keep talking tough.

You're the first one on stage,

let's see how

your brain helps you win!

First to perform on stage today is

Jiang Tang.

Jiang Tang, are you ready?

I'm ready.

But

I have an innovative idea.

Go ahead.

I think the art troupe invited

the aunties from the Family Compound

to vote

to showcase

military-civilian harmony, right?

That's right.

If so,

I'd like to invite the aunties

from the Family Compound to join the performance with me,

which would better

showcase the spirit of harmony between the military and the people.

What do you think?

How is that possible?

The few of us,

we're already halfway in the ground,

always have sore backs and legs,

it's hard enough to walk,

how could we dance?

Exactly, she's always messing with us

with her tricks.

What does she want this time?

Just wants to see us make fools of ourselves,

what else could it be?

We're just

old hags at our age,

can't compete with you young and attractive types.

You people

only embarrass the art troupe.

There's no way I'm

voting for you.

Me neither.

Alright.

Jiang Tang, you're young,

don't talk nonsense.

Just get your own part ready.

That's right, Jiang Tang.

Don't use dance,

this elegant art form, to make fun of people,

or you'll hurt everyone's feelings.

You're wrong.

Dance is art,

but art knows no class.

It's modern times,

why are you stuck on

‘high-brow' or ‘low-brow'?

What?

Are you trying to stir up

conflict among the people?

I'm not! Don't accuse me.

I believe

the art troupe

should serve the military,

but more importantly, serve the people.

Let the people participate,

enriching everyone's lives.

This

is what the art troupe is really for.

You've been preaching for ages,

besides wasting everyone's time,

what else do you want?

If you're ready, just start.

We're not going to

vote for you

just because of your speech.

I'm ready.

Then please come on stage, everyone.

It's your performance,

not ours,

why should we come up?

I already said,

let people participate,

and experience the beauty of art together.

That's the art troupe's

real purpose.

And your participation

is part of my performance.

Please come on stage, everyone.

Let's go see.

I don't believe

she's going to eat us.

Let's go.

The dance I'm performing today

is an aerobic weight-loss dance.

So, Aunties,

please join me and dance together.

Lose weight?

I actually feel a little weak lately.

I feel a little off too.

Never heard

that dancing can work out your body.

Just do the moves with me.

Let's start.

1-2-3-4, go!

I want both an 'eight-pack' and a flat belly!

I want both an 'eight-pack' and a flat belly!

Belly fat, burn away!

Belly fat, burn away!

This is so energetic!

How refreshing!

I've never seen

a dance like this.

Alright.

Aunties,

my performance

ends here.

That's it?

I didn't get enough yet!

Exactly!

Who knew dancing

could be so much fun!

My arthritis doesn't even hurt anymore.

Will dancing like this really help lose weight?

It will.

This dance burns about

650 calories

That's like half a pound of pork!

Wow

That's a lot!

Then I'll jump after every meal every day.

Awesome, I'll join you too!

Jiang Tang

You really know a lot.

I'll give my vote

to you.

For the first time, I feel like

I can also participate in dance,

such an elegant art form.

It's actually quite interesting.

I'll vote for you too.

Thank you, Auntie.

I'll also

vote for Comrade Jiang Tang.

Whether it's dance or music,

the essence of art is to bring

people happiness and joy.

Jiang Tang, you've done a great job.

Yay!

Tang Tang!

I'll vote for you too!

Tang Tang!

I'll vote for you too!

Me too! Me too! My vote is for you!

Me too! Me too! Me too!

Thank you all!

Since Jiang Tang

has everyone's approval

the next comrades

don't need to perform on stage.

Jiang Tang, this time you'll

represent the art troupe as lead dancer

in the provincial art performance.

Great, no problem!

Alright, leave it to me!

Don't worry!

Jiang Tang

You took away Yanli

and now my lead dancer spot too.

One of these days

I'm going to make you lose everything!

Got it!

Tingting's done with school!

Xinyue, it's been so long!

Ever since my brother got married

you barely come to my house.

I want to see you too

I'm afraid your sister-in-law would overthink it.

If you get into a fight with Yanli

I'd be to blame.

Although Jiang Tang doesn't seem

as annoying lately

I still don't like her.

Xinyue,

I wish you were the one

marrying my brother.

How could I be good enough for Yanli!

You are good enough!

You just don't use the low tactics

Jiang Tang does.

Let's not talk about this anymore.

Oh right, Tingting

you're about to take the college entrance exam, right?

How's your studying going?

Even though my grades

aren't as good as my brother's

were back then

getting into Tsinghua or Peking University

shouldn't be a problem.

That's good.

But

can you really go to college?

Why couldn't I?

Because your sister-in-law is Jiang Tang.

I heard that when your family

married her

they gave a dowry of 10,000 yuan.

10,000 yuan? Does she think she's a princess?

Yeah, even though

your family is doing pretty well

10,000 yuan is still a lot of money.

Your family just gave away

10,000 yuan.

Is there still money for your college?

Even if your family

can pay your tuition

would Jiang Tang be willing

to let you study?

Me going to college

has nothing to do with her.

I heard some

unreasonable sisters-in-law

aren't willing

to let their husband's younger sister keep studying

and want them to work in the factory

screwing parts to help the family out.

Besides,

the regimental commander and great-grandma

both like Jiang Tang so much

they must all listen to her, right?

She wishes.

Jiang Tang is pregnant with twins, you know.

She might want you to stay home

and help take care of the kids.

You know,

Dehua from the building next door

stays at home to help her brother and his wife

take care of their kids.

Anyway, I'm just overthinking it.

Maybe Jiang Tang

isn't that bad after all.

Don't worry about it,

just focus on exam prep at home.

She's totally that bad,

worst one in the entire residential complex.

She's absolutely the worst.

I'm going to talk to her now.

During the Yongzheng era,

Zhen Yuandao, Deputy Minister of Justice,

his daughter Zhen Huan

entered the palace selection.

All she wanted was

to get eliminated.

But who would've thought…

What did I do to you now?

You took 10,000 yuan

from our family as bride price.

10,000 yuan!

Tingting, that's grown-up business,

not your concern.

She's not worth that much.

Is there still money for my college then?

That's not something

a kid like you should be worried about.

Go back and do your homework.

Now you all take her side,

am I even really your own kid?

I will never

give up on college.

Sister-in-law, are you okay?

Tang Tang, Tingting,

she just wasn't thinking right.

Don't worry too much.

You're pregnant,

don't get upset.

Go rest for a bit over there.

Okay.

The original 'me' took

10,000 yuan bride price from the Lu family.

This is the 1980s,

so that's 10,000 yuan back then.

Even though I never saw the money,

the original 'me', well,

who knows where she disappeared to.

I still have to be

held accountable for it.

If Tingting can't

go to college because of this,

I'll feel guilty

for the rest of my life.

My salary in the art troupe

is only 20 yuan a month.

God of wealth, please

make me rich soon.

Get rich, get rich, get rich, get rich, get rich, get rich

What are you mumbling about?

You're back.

Slow down.

Sit first.

I heard

Tingting just argued with you.

Eh,

I wouldn't say it was an argument.

College entrance exam pressure is high,

mental state is a bit off,

that's pretty normal.

Yeah,

If Tingting gets into college,

the family can come up with the money, right?

When did you

get so concerned about Tingting?

We're all women,

girls

helps

girls, you know?

Sigh.

You really have changed.

Don't worry,

I'll pay the tuition,

she won't miss out on college.

Captain.

You called me over so urgently,

is there something important?

This watch

Help me sell this.

This watch...

It was back then,

when you got into the military academy,

a gift from your father.

Now that your father is gone...

Isn't it a shame to sell it?

Why are you so talkative?

Just go.

Okay.

It seems

the original owner

drained the Lu family dry.

If I let Lu Yanli

sell his watch for Tingting's college,

my guilt would be even greater.

Where are you running off to now?

Urgent business.

Do not disturb.

Wait.

Sister-in-law,

what are you doing here?

Everything you

just said to Lu Yanli,

I heard it all.

This watch,

roughly how much can it sell for?

This watch,

it can probably sell for five hundred yuan.

Don't sell this watch yet.

In a couple of days,

I'll give you five hundred yuan,

and you give that to Lu Yanli.

But...

Listen to me.

Don't let Lu Yanli know.

Go on.

Fine.

Where on earth

am I going to earn five hundred yuan?

Got it!

What can I get you to drink?

I'm not drinking anything.

Tell me,

is your boss in?

I have some business with him.

You want to see Master Xuan?

Who do you think Master Xuan is?

You think you can just see him whenever?

Isn't this

a dance hall?

I am a professional choreographer.

As long as you

buy the dance I've choreographed,

I guarantee

you'll be the number one

attraction on this street.

Hmph.

In the whole country,

professional choreographers

can be counted on one hand.

And you?

Someone so young saying

they can choreograph?

Aren't you afraid of overreaching?

Miss,

please just help me out

and let me see Master Xuan.

If you're not drinking,

then don't cause trouble here.

Get out.

Wait, wait, wait, I...

I'm serious.

Master Xuan!

Master Xuan!

Stop dancing, you lunatic!

Sorry, Master Xuan.

I'll get this crazy woman

out of here right now.

Hey, don't pull me!

Hold on, don't pull me!

The dance you just did,

what is it called?

It's called

the Sword and Horse Dance.

Sword and Horse Dance?

That's quite interesting.

Of course it is.

Where I'm from,

it's a viral sensation.

Regardless of whether you have a background,

anyone can dance it after one look.

What's your name?

My name is Jiang.

Jiang?

Jiang Jiang.

I see.

What makes you think

that a young little

girl like you

can make me spend five hundred yuan

to buy your Sword and Horse Dance?

An average person's annual salary

isn't even five hundred yuan.

Oh, Master Xuan.

If you want to stand out

in this era,

you have to benchmark against competitors

and market your differentiated advantages.

Look at the other dance halls,

they only do ballroom dancing.

The guests are already tired of it.

But my Sword and Horse Dance

is a national premiere,

completely unique.

It's guaranteed to make your

Red Dragonfly Ballroom

stand out.

You've got a silver tongue.

Thank you for the compliment.

Give her the money.

Five hundred yuan.

Well, thank you, Master Xuan!

I wish you

a prosperous business

with chain stores all over the country.

I'll be

going now.

Mm-hmm.

By the way, Master Xuan.

I also have a "Fortune Dance.

If you ever need it,

look me up again.

Interesting.

Go and check

this woman's background.

Yes, sir.

Here.

Sister-in-law.

Where did you get

this much money all of a sudden?

Right now,

I'm terrifyingly capable.

Earning a little money

is just a piece of cake, isn't it?

Hey.

In a moment,

take the money to Lu Yanli.

Bring it to him.

Then just say

the watch has been sold.

Then

what about this watch?

Keep it with me for now.

Then,

after the divorce,

I'll return it to him.

Divorce?

Greetings, Commander.

Come inside with me.

Ow!

What are you doing!

What you just said,

say it again!

It hurts!

Not that sentence.

Could it be...

Right now,

I'm terrifyingly capable!

Earning a little money

is just a piece of cake, isn't it?

Hey, in a moment,

take the money to Lu Yanli.

Bring it to him.

Then just say

the watch has been sold.

You heard that!

If you dared say it, why are you afraid I'd hear it?

Actually,

it wasn't like I intentionally

wanted to lie to you.

Wasn't I just

worried that you'd

lose face if you knew?

So you're saying I should thank you

for being so considerate of me?

Well, you don't have to go that far.

I'm also doing this

to repay you!

Your whole family

has been quite good to me.

I can't keep being a burden to you.

How nicely put!

Jiang Tang, remember,

I told you before,

I currently have no

intention of getting a divorce.

You are not allowed

to talk nonsense on your own anymore!

Do you hear me?

Divorce?

So you were talking about the divorce!

You scared the life out of me!

Then what were you talking about?

What else are you

hiding from me?

Nothing.

Oh, that...

If there's nothing else

you can leave now, right?

I'm your husband.

What are you hiding from?

Affectionless intimacy

is just being a jerk.

No feelings!

Jiang Tang.

If you

say anything I don't want to hear again,

I'll shut your mouth

myself!

It feels like

something kicked me.

It's not a thing!

It's our baby.

Do you want to touch it?

It moved again!

Yeah.

The babies are pretty strong.

Do they

kick you like this often?

Doesn't that

make it really hard for you?

Before,

I also thought

being pregnant

was super tough.

But now,

I think creating life

is pretty happy.

Oh, right.

The doctor said

when the baby moves

and you talk to him,

he can hear it!

Do you want

to say something to the babies?

Say what?

You're the dad.

Whatever you want to say,

just say it.

Me?

Seriously?

Are you shy

with your own babies?

Just say it.

Hey!

You two little troublemakers!

Behave

and stay inside mommy's belly.

No moving around!

Did you hear me!

Don't be mean to my babies!

Seriously.

No need to be scared,

mom's here.

Hey!

Where are you going?

None of your business.

Before,

to get my attention,

you threatened me with the kids.

Now you're treating the kids

like they're more important than me.

Women...

Bro!

Go see what's going on,

Jiang Tang went to find some guy!

What?

What?

Your sister-in-law

definitely doesn't have

any issues with her lifestyle!

Don't talk nonsense!

I saw it clearly myself.

Hello, comrade!

Has the stuff I ordered arrived?

Thank you!

This woman

is spending money again.

Miss Jiang.

We meet again.

Master Xuan!

Are you here for something?

Hey, let me say upfront.

Once the dance is sold,

there's no after-sales service.

Anything involving

intellectual property

is non-refundable.

Miss Jiang, you're too serious.

After your dance

was promoted in our dance hall,

our crowd increased ten times.

I remember you said

you have another dance,

the Wealth Dance.

I can pay ten times the price

to buy it.

Are you interested

in going to the dance hall to talk?

Sure, let's go!

Please.

Our Lu family

spent so much money to marry you,

and you're seducing other men!

I'll leave it here first,

and then,

I'll give it back after the divorce.

Jiang Tang,

is this

really why you've been

wanting a divorce from me?

I saw it with my own eyes.

That man

is the Red Dragonfly

Dance Hall boss,

Lu Xuanyi.

Master Xuan.

Miss Jiang's dance

really is different.

So impressive!

Master Xuan!

Come down and take a break.

Yeah.

Miss Jiang,

a toast to you!

Master Xuan,

I don't drink alcohol.

Our Master Xuan,

is pouring someone a drink

for the first time ever.

Hey!

Don't be rude

to Miss Jiang!

Then Miss Jiang can have juice.

Okay.

Miss Jiang,

let me toast you.

Then,

I wish Master Xuan

more and more wealth,

and an early retirement.

More and more wealth.

Early retirement.

Wealth' as in sudden riches.

It means

getting richer

each day.

Interesting.

Wasn't I

drinking juice?

Why do I feel a bit tipsy?

This feels nice!

Give me another glass.

Okay.

You're sitting so close

to another man!

Miss Jiang,

you have a bit of juice

on your lips.

Hey, why are you here?

I should ask you that.

What are you doing at

a shady place like this?

You dare call my dance hall shady!

Do you believe

I'll break your arms and legs

and toss you out the gate!

Let's see

if you can actually do that!

Hey!

Hey, you all!

Move aside!

Master Xuan,

not going after her?

Go for what?

She's already taken.

A real man

never steals someone else's woman.

Keep the business going!

It's a mango allergy.

She drank mango juice just now,

so it triggered it.

It's fine,

just take some medicine and you'll be okay.

I can't believe

I didn't know the original person was allergic to mangoes.

Hope it doesn't affect the babies.

Thanks, Director Liu,

for coming over.

No big deal.

I watched you grow up.

Your wife's pregnancy

is very stable now.

Don't worry!

Let me walk you out.

Made another profit!

Baby,

don't worry!

With mom,

you won't ever go hungry!

Sorry.

I forgot I'm allergic to mangoes.

Don't worry.

From now on

I will cherish my life.

And stay far away from mangoes.

That's not what I'm talking about.

Then, then, what are you trying to say?

Jiang Tang, we're not even divorced yet,

and you're already with another man...

This close?

What do you mean?

You got it wrong.

He and I

are just in a financial arrangement.

A financial arrangement?

Yeah, he gives me money,

and I do things for him.

That's all there is to it.

What? Say that again!

What's the big deal now?

You keep overreacting!

What era are we living in?

This is totally normal!

Normal?

You call this normal?

Huh?

How long

have you guys been in this kind of relationship?

About a week.

A week?

No wonder

you're always trying to divorce me.

If Tingting hadn't told me,

I wouldn't believe

you were that kind of person!

Tingting knows too?

Perfect timing,

after her college entrance exam is over,

I'll take her with me

to relax a bit.

Jiang Tang!

You want to go down the wrong path,

and now you want to take Tingting with you!

How dare you!

Go to the dance hall,

and you call that going astray?

The Qing Dynasty's been gone for ages, okay?

I'm going to sleep.

Oh no!

How is my watch here with you?

Well,

forget it.

Let me just be straight with you.

That day, I heard you were going to sell the watch,

so I went and

bought it back.

I was planning to,

find a chance to return it to you.

Why?

It's because when you married me,

you spent ten thousand yuan on the bride price,

which made it so Tingting's tuition

couldn't be paid for a while.

How could I not feel bad?

So then I went to Red Dragonfly

Dance Hall and sold two dance routines,

made quite a bit of money.

From now on, Tingting's

four years of tuition are all on me.

So,

you went to Red Dragonfly to sell dance routines?

Yeah, what else?

I—I really...

Alright, alright.

You've really changed.

Don't get all emotional now.

Your family

has always been so good to me,

of course I have to treat you all well.

Haven't you ever heard this saying?

You滴答滴答me

I哗啦哗啦You.

What's that?

A drop of kindness

should be repaid with a fountain.

Where did you learn

that weird English?

Jiang Tang.

Yeah.

I...

Ah.

How about

we stop talking about divorce,

okay?

Oh, come on!

What exactly are you trying to say?

Can we just...

Bro, are you getting divorced?

Why don't you at least knock before coming in?

Why should I knock

to enter my own brother's room?

Besides,

Sister Xinyue isn't an outsider.

She's my wife.

You're a grown girl now,

don't you know about keeping a distance?

She already went to Red Dragonfly

to look for some random guy.

How is she even worthy of being my sister-in-law?

Tingting,

don't talk about Jiang Tang like that.

I think there must be a reason

she did it.

Here we go again.

She really does have her reasons.

Jiang Tang went to Red Dragonfly

to earn your college tuition.

What?

She's already lazy and always eating,

if she's not spending your money, that's already good,

now she's helping out with my tuition too?

Bro, don't listen to her nonsense.

I'm not someone

who just believes any rumor I hear.

Red Dragonfly Dance Hall

recently got two new dance routines,

both choreographed by Jiang Tang.

She was worried

there wouldn't be enough money for your college tuition,

so she used her free time,

to make more money.

Tingting,

you're an adult now since you're over 18,

you should have

your own perspective on things.

I don't care where

you heard the rumor about not having enough money,

or that you

wouldn't be able to go to college,

but as long as I'm here,

I will never let that happen.

You will never have to drop out.

But she did take a

10,000 yuan bride price from our family,

that's a fact, right?

Plus,

I saw her at the store,

buying something,

and she even pre-ordered it.

It can't be cheap.

Oh.

So that's why you

look down on me.

Turns out that's what it's about.

What's this?

It's for you.

For me?

Hey, wait, wait.

Underwear.

Underwear.

Jiang Tang, what do you mean by this?

Yeah, Jiang Tang!

Aren't you just embarrassing Tingting

as a girl in front of everyone?

I just don't get it!

You're a girl yourself,

yet you always encourage Tingting

to barge into our bedroom.

Don't you think that's embarrassing for her?

She's just opening a gift

in front of her brother and sister-in-law,

what's so embarrassing about that?

I specifically had someone

custom-make these underwear for you.

Look, there's writing on the back.

This.

It's a tradition from my hometown.

On your college entrance exam day,

wear these.

They're called "zi ding neng xing".

And then I'll

wear a cheongsam dress waiting for you.

That's called "qi kai de sheng".

Just for some good luck!

So you went to the store

to buy these!

Yeah.

These days,

since there's no printmaking tech,

I had to look for ages

to find someone to embroider them.

Cost me ten yuan, so expensive!

Thanks then!

We're family,

no need to be so polite.

Bro.

Sis.

I'll leave you guys alone.

Let's go.

Tingting, don't let these little

gestures or gifts

Just be soft-hearted, okay?

Did you forget how your family

was tormented by her before?

It's not about this stuff.

It's just that I think Jiang Tang

has truly changed.

Besides,

it really was my misunderstanding of her.

Sister Xinyue,

I see my brother and Jiang Tang

are doing pretty well together now.

You should find

your own happiness too.

Tingting!

I still need to study for my classes,

so I won't walk you out.

I can't handle Jiang Tang,

but someone else can put her in her place.

Auntie!

Excuse me, is this

Jiang Tang's maternal home?

Who are you? What do you want?

Jiang Tang got married into

the military compound.

She doesn't live here!

You must be Jiang Tang's mother, right?

I'm Jiang Tang's friend.

I just came to see you.

You brat!

When did she ever have

such respectable friends?

Jiang Tang is pregnant now.

Aren't you going to visit her?

A daughter married off

is like spilled water.

I have to stay home and take care of

my son Yaozu.

No time to go see her!

Jiang Tang's

life is so good now.

You don't even know?

A girl who's greedy and lazy,

if she doesn't get kicked out by the Lu family,

she's already lucky!

How good could her life be? Hmph!

Jiang Tang now

works in the cultural troupe.

She earns dozens of yuan a month.

And she's a choreographer at the biggest

dance club in the city,

I heard she earned thousands of yuan!

You didn't know any of this?

What?

She didn't tell me!

You brat!

She doesn't give the money to her mother!

She must want to keep it for herself! Oh my!

Her brother is still

waiting for money to get married!

Don't worry, Auntie.

Which daughter isn't

devoted to her own mother?

She's pregnant now, isn't she?

Why not go stay at the Lu house for a few days,

help take care of her,

make her favorite foods,

How could she not

help you with grocery money?

That's right!

If she dares not give me money,

I'll turn the Lu house

upside down!

No one will enjoy peace! Hmph!

Tang Tang,

Eat more since you're pregnant.

Thanks, Mom.

Tingting studies so hard.

Tingting, come eat.

Thank you, sister-in-law.

Just a chicken leg,

and everyone's passing it around.

Tomorrow I'll buy a few more,

so everyone can eat together.

Wow, everyone's eating chicken legs!

Your family's life,

is even better than the palace.

Mother-in-law, you should've let us know you were coming.

I would've told Yanli to pick you up.

Mother-in-law?

This is the original owner's mother.

How could a worthless life like mine

burden you all?

Where's my precious son-in-law?

Mom.

Did you come here for something?

I raised Jiang Tang alone as a widow,

working hard to bring her up.

When she was home with us,

she never worked a day.

But now that she married into your family,

even while pregnant,

she has to dance in the cultural troupe.

Ah!

Cultural troupe?

I chose to go myself,

has nothing to do with anyone else.

Look, look, look!

A married daughter,

always sides with outsiders!

Hmph! I don't care!

When you spend money,

you're with your own family,

when you earn money, you're with your husband's family.

How could you treat me like this?

After all my hard work raising you?

So it was all about the money!

I thought you cared about me.

What else could it be?

Don't think

just because the Lu family gave me

ten thousand yuan as bride price,

they bought you.

You're still pregnant

with their child.

If you don't hand over

the money you earned today

I'm not leaving.

Why is my life so bitter!

Ah, why is my life so bitter!

Mother-in-law, get up, the floor is cold.

I'm not getting up!

Isn't your family part of the elite?

I want the neighbors

to come see for themselves.

How you all treat me,

a grandma like me!

I just remembered.

The original owner's mom

never loved her daughter,

only treated her as a money tree

to provide for her son.

Well,

Good thing I'm bored while pregnant,

Crossing me,

means you hit a brick wall.

Weiwei, Tingting,

you two head back to your rooms.

Mom, you should get some rest too.

Don't worry!

It's my own mother, I can handle her.

Go rest.

Close the door well.

A daughter raised up,

and doesn't care about her own mother?

Come look!

I will handle it.

Hey, hubby!

Do we have tea at home?

I don't want tea,

I only want money!

Who said the tea was for you?

Honey,

Don't you think

my mom's crying voice

actually sounds pretty nice?

There are just some sunflower seeds,

If we brew a pot of tea,

it's way more entertaining than watching an opera,

don't you think?

This...

Useless!

Are you planning

not to give me money?

That's right.

No money!

Not even for your life!

No way!

You!

You got married,

but your brother

still hasn't found a wife.

He's the only son

in the Jiang family!

If he can't marry,

I can't sleep

at night!

Lu Yanli, say something!

Mom!

When Yaozu

gets married in the future,

I'll definitely give him

Don't you dare!

I won't be a sister who sacrifices for her brother,

and neither will you!

If you don't give me money,

I'll stay in your house today

I'm not leaving!

Heh heh, I'm not leaving, hmph!

After all,

you're my own mom!

At least you have a conscience!

See? If you'd said that earlier, things would've been easier.

Hey, Yanli.

Please give me a ride home early later.

I still need to hurry back

and cook for Yaozu!

Give me money!

W-what are you doing?

Why are you giving me a quilt?

Didn't you say if you couldn't get money

you'd just stay here?

It's a bit chilly. Remember to cover up with the quilt.

Go to sleep now.

Jiang Tang.

Your mom,

is it okay for her to sleep at our place?

Should we just give her some money

to make her leave?

So she won't affect your mood.

Hey.

If you give her money,

that really affects my mood!

Don't worry, in less than three days,

I promise I'll make her

pack up and leave!

Alright, time to sleep.

Spirits above, hear my plea.

Bless Yaozu to be a zero!

Spirits above, hear my plea.

Bless Yaozu to be a zero.

Spirits above, hear my plea.

Bless Yaozu to be a zero.

Ah! A ghost!

Ah! Ghost! Ah! Ghost!

What's wrong?

Mom, it's me.

Jiang Tang, are you out of your mind?

Up in the middle of the night,

pretending to be a ghost to scare me.

Mom.

Didn't you say

you can't sleep at night

if you don't get the money?

So I came to see

if you really couldn't sleep.

You!

Take care of your wife.

Mm.

My wife is great,

she doesn't need to be managed.

Mom, see? Even without getting the money,

you can still sleep, right?

So tomorrow morning,

let my husband take you home.

Hmph, trying to scare me away, huh?

No way.

Anyway, if I don't get the money,

I'm not leaving.

Why don't you two go away,

I'm going to sleep.

Okay, Mom.

Let's go.

Hahaha.

Did you see her face?

She was so scared, her face turned pale.

Her hands were red from the cold.

Staying up in the middle of the night,

just to scare people.

What a troublemaker.

She was bullying others first.

She's a woman herself,

yet she values sons over daughters,

using her daughter to support her son.

I hate people like that most.

You've really changed a lot.

No matter what I was like before,

from now on,

I'll definitely be a good person.

No matter if the baby inside me

is a boy or a girl,

I'll love them both the same.

Me too.

From now on,

I'll take care of the three of you,

okay?

A hug from an eight-pack abs.

This is the reward I get

for staying up so late.

Can you

stay with me forever?

Hmm?

Are you confessing your love to me?

Yes.

Then I really have to think about it,

think about it.

Still thinking?

We already have a child together,

where else could you go?

So what if we have a child?

But you and I aren't exactly

that close, right?

Besides, it's

the era of Reform and Opening Up,

I think my future

has endless possibilities.

What if I become

the richest woman in the future?

Alright.

Future richest woman.

After all this fuss in the middle of the night,

it's time to rest.

Hey, don't sleep yet!

Wake up! Wake up!

What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?

No.

Get dressed quickly,

and come with me to my parents' house!

Going to your parents' house?

It's only four thirty in the morning.

Just listen to me!

Today I'm going to get rid of

my mom, the jinx, once and for all!

Sneak quietly into the village,

no honking.

What exactly are you up to?

Get out of the car.

Stop knocking.

Do you know what time it is?

The door's not even open yet.

Ah, Uncle Si.

I'm Jiang Laojiang's daughter, Jiang Tang,

I came early this morning to bring you money.

No need to be so angry.

Jiang Tang,

what do you want to buy?

A bundle of firecrackers.

That's only one yuan and twenty cents.

The way you're talking,

it's like it's twenty yuan.

Are you messing with me

for fun?

Who would dare mess with you?

Uncle Si, here's the deal,

give me a bundle of firecrackers,

I'll pay you twenty.

Really.

Honestly.

Hey, don't move.

Uh, Uncle Si,

in an hour,

go to my house and ask Jiang Yaozu for money.

Let's go.

You won't be left out, promise.

What are you doing?

Keep your voice down.

Every day at this time,

Jiang Yaozu always goes to the outhouse.

And then?

Then,

we'll blow up the outhouse.

That's not right.

They took advantage of my pregnancy

and conned your family

out of a ten thousand yuan betrothal gift, is that right?

I don't think so.

That ten thousand yuan,

wasn't I supposed to give it to you?

The problem is, I never saw any of it.

Li Guixiang saved it all up

to get Jiang Yaozu a wife.

Others can be slave to their little brothers,

but not me, Jiang Tang, I'm no sucker.

But,

but you can't just blow up the outhouse.

I'm blowing it up.

I'll set the fireworks, you light them. Deal?

Deal!

They're coming, they're coming!

Let's go, let's go!

Who the hell threw

firecrackers at my house?

Don't let me catch you!

My firecrackers

were powerful, right?

Your firecrackers?

You little brat!

Pay for my outhouse!

Pay what?

I'm here to ask you for

the firecracker money.

Twenty yuan.

Pay up!

You blew up my outhouse,

and you're asking me for money?

Is there any justice left?

Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out! Get out!

The firecracker is mine,

But I wasn't the one who blew up the outhouse.

Who in this whole village doesn't know

the name Zhao Si?

If you don't pay up,

you better not show your face around here again.

Guys, someone is refusing to pay!

Grab your weapons!

Who dares to skip out on their debt?

Stop, stop, stop!

Stop, stop, stop!

Come eat!

What were you two doing

out so early this morning?

You look so happy.

Sit down and have breakfast.

Sis-in-law!

Mom made you some white fungus soup.

Thank you, Weiwei.

Thanks, Mom.

Eat up.

Oh?

Aiya!

I didn't sleep well last night.

Hey, you over there

serve me a bowl of porridge.

Didn't make any food for you.

Wanna eat? Go home and eat!

You useless, money-wasting girl!

You kept me up

all night last night.

I haven't even said anything

yet you still don't stop? I'll beat you!

Aiya, aiya, aiya!

Oh my goodness!

This is terrible!

The regimental son-in-law

is about to hit his mother-in-law!

Aiya!

Mom!

Mom!

Mom!

Someone blew up our outhouse!

Son, who beat you up

like this?

I don't know what kind of bastard

threw a

firecracker in our outhouse

early this morning.

Fourth Uncle, Fourth Uncle, help me

I need the money for the firecrackers

and couldn't pay him back

so he beat me up!

Aiya, who did this?

I did!

You crazy brat, are you nuts?

She's my own daughter

Of course, I can hit her

I went with her

I lit the fire

If you want to hit someone, hit me

You!

Your Lu family has gone too far!

That's right!

Dealing with someone like you

You really need some power!

Yeah, I blew up your outhouse.

So what?

You can mess with people

but I can't get back at you?

If you know what's good for you

you better go home early

Otherwise

I blew up your outhouse today,

and I'll blow up your kitchen tomorrow.

Sooner or later, your house

will be a trash dump because of me!

You, you, you, you!

What are you stuttering for!

Not happy, huh? Not happy?

Hit me then!

What a mess, my goodness! I

Crying, crying, why are you crying!

Crying early in the morning

You cry away all your luck!

You, you...

The Lu family just got some peace

Here we go causing trouble again?

Heard it's Jiang Tang's

mom here to ask for money!

I told you she wouldn't be easy.

If he'd married Xinyue back then

none of this would have happened!

True.

Jiang Tang

With a mom like that

and a brother causing trouble

How do you show your face?

Mom, stop it.

Enough already.

Let's go home and give them the money first.

Fourth Uncle is still by our door

blocking the way.

What are you staring at?

You just go home and behave.

As long as you don't bother me again

I won't mess with you.

But if you ever

come looking for me

or anyone

from the Lu family again

I'll make sure Jiang Yaozu's

fiancée loses everything.

Let's go!

Move!

Ha! You evil woman!

You pushed me to cause trouble at the Lus

but you just stood there

watching in the crowd, huh?

Auntie,

I don't know what you're talking about.

If you hadn't brought

those lousy apples to my house

and told me Jiang Tang made money

and I should come to the Lus' to ask for it,

would I have ended up

so humiliated?

Would my outhouse have been blown up?

Would my son have been beaten?

So it was you, Xinyue.

I was wondering why you

suddenly came to see my sister-in-law.

Didn't expect

Xinyue to be so scheming.

You never really know people.

With Captain Lu being so outstanding,

who wouldn't want to get close to him?

That's nonsense!

I can sue you for slander!

Can't deal with them,

but I sure can deal with you!

I dare you to sue!

Go ahead, sue!

Help! Somebody help!

Serves you right!

Ah!

Let go! You old hag!

You dare plot against me!

I'll beat you to death!

Mom, stop it! Stop!

Why don't we just pay her, okay?

I still need to use the bathroom!

I'm not paying!

Make her pay!

Keep dreaming! You're crazy!

Stop right there!

Hey!

If you won't give it, I'll search for it myself!

Let go!

Here, take it.

Hmph!

Who called the police?

Me!

She fought and she instigated it.

It's all this little brat's fault!

I did not!

Come with me.

Officer!

No! Let go! It's a misunderstanding! Let go!

Mom!

Mom!

Wait for me, Mom!

Except for Li Guixiang,

who will be detained for assault,

Su Xinyue and Jiang Yaozu will be criticized and

educated, and then

can go home.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Let's go.

Yanli!

Because of all this,

I got

expelled from the song and dance troupe.

As a dancer,

I've paid

such a huge price.

Can't you forgive me?

All I did was love you

How could that be wrong?

Let's go.

Yanli!

Yanli!

You still

don't know what you did wrong?

There's nothing wrong with love,

but you can't,

because you love someone,

go hurt another woman.

You should make yourself

outstanding

and you'll naturally attract outstanding people

to love you.

Female competition is something

that only happens in the animal kingdom.

Think it through before saying anything.

We're here.

What is this place?

It's your café.

Didn't you want to open a café?

I think this place is pretty good.

I helped the landlord

with a big favor before.

So he let me rent it

for half the price.

That's amazing, thank you!

You just now

were about to call me what?

Husband?

So does this count as

a couple's joint property?

Of course it does.

Pick a name for your store.

It has to be

something bold

for the name

and

it has to include the word "tea".

Bold

and must have tea in the name

How about "Ba Wang Tea"?

That's definitely a bold name.

I'm the only one in the whole county.

What are you talking about?

So happy.

Hey, brother and sister-in-law!

I got into Tsinghua University!

That's really awesome!

I told you 'Purple Butt can do it!

Sister-in-law.

Tangtang, come here!

Hurry, come sit over here!

Great-grandma wants to hear

you tell the Story of Zhen Huan.

So what happened between Sun Daying and that...

Rogue after that?

Right, right!

Also, did the Empress really

kill the Empress?

Oh, and also,

Did Zhen Huan and Wen Shichu

really have an affair in the harem?

I'll keep telling you!

At this point,

Consort Hua said to Zhen Huan,

Women are just dramatic.

And then she...

Alright

The little pregnant lady's had a long day

Time to rest.

Come on, let her finish!

Yeah, I'm not tired.

You're tired

I really...

I

You guys keep chatting.

What are you doing?

You are my

wife for life.

What do you think I'm doing?

I'm pregnant.

No way!

I asked the doctor.

It's been over three months

It's okay now.

How did you even ask that!

I'm too embarrassed to face anyone.

Then let's just stay home for now.

I've got you covered.

Little pregnant lady.
