(Gen Z)

(Episode 24)

Hurry up. School's over.

We're only late a bit.

Le Le won't go anywhere.

I brought you here so that we could steal the child together.

But look at you.

There's no point now.

I'm sure Cheng Ying has already taken Le Le.

We came here for nothing.

She's a woman.

How could I steal a child from a woman?

Besides,

-it's her child. -Granny!

Even if you want to steal her child, you should bring Brother here.

You should tell his father to come.

-Le Le! -Le Le!

Le Le, my baby grandson!

-Come here, Le Le. -Granny!

Slow down. You'll drop him!

Yeah, yeah.

Ms Zhang.

Le Le's Granny, this weekend,

we need them

to observe lotus leaves and fish

and record them

on their workbook.

We need them to take three photos.

Alright, I'll complete the task with him.

We need his parents to join him.

Not his grandparents.

We want a family photo.

He needs to take a photo with his parents?

Can he take it with his stepmother?

Sure.

Le Le's mother called me

and instructed me

to tell you about this.

She called you?

Isn't she here today?

She said you were coming today.

If you didn't,

I would call her.

Of course I'd be here.

Goodbye, Ms Zhang.

Okay. Take care.

Granny is here.

Baby grandson.

Look at what I bought for you. Take it.

Didn't your mother come to pick you up?

Mum said I'm going

to Dad's house this weekend.

She said you would pick me up.

Didn't she say anything?

Didn't she badmouth

your father or me?

-Mum! -She didn't.

You're so narrow-minded.

You're badmouthing Sister-in-law

and stealing her child.

I told you already.

My sister-in-law isn't that kind of person.

You still brought me here to do your evil deed.

Look at what you've done.

I came here for nothing.

Listen.

She's just afraid of me.

I have evidence.

Listen.

I'm sure she's afraid of me.

I have evidence.

She's afraid that the court

might give me custody of Le Le

when we fight for him.

Yeah, yeah.

Le Le, can you prove it?

Your mother hit me

last week, right?

You pushed Mum first.

Heartless boy.

I did it for your sake.

Do you know who loves you the most?

Listen.

I'm the one who loves you the most.

I was waiting for you

in front of the delivery room

before you were born.

Le Le, don't listen to Granny.

Granny is driving a wedge between you and your mother.

Your mother loves you the most.

Understood?

Your grandmother is no match for your mother.

You're so heartless.

I was just stating facts.

Why are you hitting me?

Will you be happy

if I say Grandma loves me

the most

instead of you?

Mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are born rivals.

Even so, you got yourself two daughters-in-law.

It's hard to say.

Maybe you'll get a third one in the future.

She'll be my wife.

This kid.

He has a girlfriend now?

When will you bring

your girlfriend back?

This kid is something else.

(Qibo Medical Centre)

What are you doing?

-Calm down. -Tian Zhen!

-What's wrong? -This is huge.

-We're in trouble. -What is it?

Bai Mo Li has a fever, right?

How did you know?

Don't ask me why. I just know it.

Tou Tou, pack your stuff and follow me.

Let's go.

Wait.

Tou Tou.

-Mr Ren. -Coming!

She called you?

No.

Let's go.

Why did you only tell us by now?

It's already the third day.

My grandmother didn't tell me she had a fever

on the first day.

On the second day, Dr Peng gave her some medicine.

Her condition didn't turn for the better after one day.

How long has she been taking

the new prescription?

She has one more dose left.

I've tried all kinds of methods to lower her body temperature but to no avail.

Considering her age,

I was planning to send her to the hospital.

But Mr Ren, she insisted on bringing you here.

That was within my expectation.

Did you expect her to vomit blood

and have a high fever?

Do you really think you're a deity?

Dr Peng,

both of us are doctors.

You focus on Western medicine

while I focus on Chinese medicine.

Actually, the field of Western medicine and Chinese medicine

have different explanations for illnesses.

Western doctors like to use

strong words like

sedatives and disinfectant

to treat illnesses.

Actually, illnesses

aren't bad things.

They're just there

to remind our bodies.

She's having a fever now.

Actually, it's the conflict

between good and bad in her body.

To put it bluntly,

it's your immunity

trying to fight off the invaders.

At her age,

it's hard to develop a fever.

Try and develop a fever.

I think it's been a decade

since you last had a fever.

Yeah, I have a healthy body.

Not necessarily.

There's another type of possibility.

It's sub-health.

Actually, his body

has already surrendered.

If this keeps up,

other complications will occur.

You should stop bragging about your capabilities.

Peng Shi Yan,

mind your words.

I've tolerated you for a long time.

I know there's a difference between our fields.

But we should still respect our teachers.

I do respect my teachers.

However, there's no difference between students and teachers

when it comes to prudence towards illnesses.

Am I right, Mr Ren?

You're right.

Madam Bai.

Why don't I give you an acupuncture treatment?

Once it's over,

your fever should subside

after 45 minutes.

Dr Peng made her fever subside.

But it came back quickly.

Even if he can't do it,

that doesn't mean I can't do it.

How many needles will you use then?

One.

Only one?

Yes, only one.

And, it doesn't hurt too.

Tou Tou,

make some porridge for her.

She might be hungry after waking up.

Okay.

Madam Bai,

tell me

if you feel uncomfortable.

I'll send you to the hospital.

I'm not going to the hospital.

I want him to treat me.

None of us can bear the responsibility

if something does happen to you.

Dr Peng,

you know

that I'm a faithful person.

If God is trying to summon me to Heaven,

I will gladly accept it.

Madam Bai,

I will protect

your life.

It won't be easy for you to go

when I'm here with you.

After the treatment,

just close your eyes and rest.

It won't hurt at all.

You're making porridge?

So, foreigners have rice in the house too?

They don't.

Now, even if your father

doesn't tell me anything,

I know what to take.

I brought it from

the medical centre.

Not bad at all, bootlicker.

Tell me the theory behind it then.

According to the 12th rule of Treatise On Febrile Caused by Cold,

hot porridge should be consumed

together with Cinnamon Twig Decoction

to boost its effectiveness.

I'm making hot porridge.

That's why

I brought the Cinnamon Twig Decoction.

But your father...

Your father didn't say that he needed it.

I brought it here for nothing.

Even now, I still don't understand

if your father wishes to proceed with acupuncture treatment

or give her a prescription.

Do you have water?

I'm thirsty.

Yeah. What about some health tea?

That'll do.

It's inside the bag.

How many things have you brought here?

At the bottom.

You're finally doing decent work now.

Remember to insert money into the money box.

You're trying to record your own merit?

We should do kind deeds without expecting anything in return.

We shouldn't bring it up.

It's not like I'm bringing it up on purpose.

You'll definitely forget

if I don't bring it up.

Can you remember it?

Maybe not.

Tou Tou.

Send it to your dad.

Her fever has subsided.

I'm a little hungry.

-You're hungry? -Here.

Feed it to her while it's hot. Feed her slowly.

Has she recovered then?

You can take some Chinese medicine first.

After that, you can head to the hospital

to get a body check-up.

This way, you two

can rest at ease.

I trust you.

I feel relieved

since you said that I'm fine now.

Thank you for trusting me.

Eat up.

Do you admit defeat?

Do you?

-Eat up. -Do you admit defeat?

I don't.

I won't admit defeat.

Listen. We Western doctors

have standard procedures to follow when it comes to giving diagnoses

and prescribing medication.

Mr Ren, you just came here and insert a needle into her arm.

How could we learn that?

What are you saying?

You're so noisy.

You can't stop talking, huh?

Let's teach him a lesson.

You should've...

You three, leave.

Let Madam Bai rest.

This is unreasonable.

You're unreasonable.

Leave now.

Dr Peng,

you said it was unreasonable.

That's not the case.

In Chinese medicine,

among Principles, Methods, Formulas and Medicinals,

Principles is the most important element.

Just now,

I was doing acupuncture.

We can call it

Principles, Methods, Formulas and Needles.

Every needle I used

was based on Principles.

He still has no idea. Tou Tou.

Tell him.

I don't know either.

I haven't learned this yet.

How would I know?

You still don't know even after learning under me for a long time?

Recite Rule 58 of Treatise On Febrile Caused by Cold.

Rule 58 of Treatise On Febrile Caused by Cold.

Illnesses with symptoms like sweating, vomiting,

diarrhoea, bleeding, and exhausting of body fluid,

achieving self-balance of Yin and Yang will ensure recovery.

What did she mean

by that?

It means

that no matter how sick you are,

as long as you achieve self-balance,

you'll recover.

Self-balance?

Neiguan belongs to the Jueyin Meridian.

Among the Six Meridians,

Jueyin Meridian

represents the end of Yin and the birth of Yang.

Madam Bai

has been sick for quite some time.

In the end,

we still need to depend on the Jueyin Meridian to cure her.

She's old.

She already lacked Yang energy.

If you apply pressure on the Neiguan point,

once the Yang energy rises,

self-balance will be achieved.

The illness will be cured by then.

You see, in Chinese medicine,

we don't fight illnesses.

We strive to achieve balance.

We don't expect people

to be 100% healthy.

No such people exist too.

We just expect our body

to be 51% healthy.

It's fine as long as health is the major shareholder.

Both strengths and weaknesses

have their own balance to maintain.

Got it?

Understood?

Master, I think

I can only make Cinnamon Twig Decoction now.

I still have no way

to understand such deep theories.

Acupuncture and brewing medicine

are still too tough for me.

I can't just use whatever I like.

I'm just skilful at certain things.

When it comes to acupuncture and brewing medicine,

I have complete confidence in them.

However, when it comes to techniques,

I'm inferior to Ms Dong.

Of course.

But to you...

Dr Ren.

I don't know

how I can express my gratitude.

Don't mention it.

I just did

what a doctor should do.

To you, it may be your duty.

But to me,

to my family,

you've resolved

a troublesome issue for us.

Donation for education?

This is too much money.

I cannot accept this.

Dr Ren, I heard

that the class you are holding

is facing financial issues.

Your capabilities

aren't used to earn money.

They are used to cure people.

Now,

I will show you my capabilities.

Thank you so much.

I understand your feelings.

I understand why you're donating to our cause.

However, I won't be able to live in peace

if your family's finance is affected because of this.

That's why

I cannot accept this.

Dr Ren,

our finance will be fine.

I thought Madam Bai was a teacher?

Do foreign teachers get a high salary?

You see,

we're from the Lauder family.

Louder?

Lauder.

What?

Lauder.

What does that mean?

It's fine.

That doesn't matter.

Anyway,

I'm very wealthy.

I'm much wealthier than usual teachers.

You can take the money.

(Qibo Medical Centre)

-Tian Zhen! -Madam.

Mum.

Come with me to the house

on Anfu Street.

Your grandfather called just now.

There's a potential buyer

who took a liking to our house.

He wants us to sign the contract

with the real estate agency.

What are you smiling at?

We're selling our house, you know?

I'm not smiling.

After signing the contract,

we have

to clean up the house.

We'll discard unwanted things.

As for the rest, we can move them

to your grandparents' house.

Don't tire yourself out.

Just call a waste collector

to collect everything.

Collect everything?

That won't do.

Although they don't worth much,

many of them contain memories

of me and my son, am I right?

Of course,

it has nothing to do with you.

Yeah, yeah.

You can keep them then.

Keep them?

How can we sell the house

if we keep those things?

We're not selling the house.

We're not selling it?

How can we sustain the apprentice class then?

I'm rich now.

You're rich?

Show it to me then.

Give me the money.

Give me the money.

Wait, I...

Keep on pretending, won't you?

Wait,

you weren't joking?

But...

Where did you get the money?

I told you already. I'll get it

when I want to.

He got it.

If so,

why didn't you get it earlier?

We were worried

for such a long time.

God gave us a chance

to show us

how petty you are.

I'm petty?

-Sorry, Mum. -You knew long ago?

See you!

Like father, like son.

Tou Tou, give me that check!

Hong.

Rebecca.

I'm sorry.

I was irresponsible with what I said.

I know you're a magnanimous person.

Don't hold it against me.

Look.

I even prepared

your favourite

sugar-free yogurt for you.

Treat it as my apology.

Please forgive me.

Did you even say anything

that was worth being angry over?

-Mr Ren. -Hong.

I have good news.

I found a place.

They can rent it to us for our class.

Do you want to check it out?

What? Are you also trying to hold a candle to the devil?

Where is it?

No.

If you say no, that means no.

You just

maligned me for holding a candle to the devil

without finding out what was going on

and said that I was the accomplice to his murder.

That's not it. I was flustered back then.

I couldn't think straight.

And,

you only pay full attention

to your

godson.

Did you see those people?

People who come here

have their own issues

more or less.

However, they always get cured

when they come here.

Although I'm doing nothing much,

I can make people

feel happy.

Sometimes,

happiness

isn't about how much you get.

It's about how much you give.

What are you still doing here?

Have you lost your job? Don't you need to return to the hospital?

Oh yeah, I forgot to apply for leave.

So, you're not angry at me anymore?

For our new apprentice class,

we need labour

to clean up our new place.

I'll send you the schedule.

You better don't be late.

Yes, madam.

Wait.

I think we can only see this place

in dramas, right?

Ms Yang, you do live up to your name as a great lawyer.

This is amazing. The entire building is ours now.

This is so cool.

In the future, Ms Dong and Mr Fei

can hold their technique class

and acupuncture class here.

I like this place.

This place is pretty good.

It's much better than Liu's old place.

What are you doing here?

I'll ask you again.

Heroine, please spare me.

I'm here to atone for my mistake.

What mistake?

The beds used for technique class

and ordinary tables and chairs

are in the warehouse.

Today, I'll return

all of them.

Professor Ren,

I, Liu Zi Hong, will work as a free labourer

and report for duty

with your possessions.

I shall obey

your every instruction.

Young Master.

Since you're flexible, you'll be in charge

of cleaning the spots

-where normal people can't. -That's right.

Don't think of leaving the place before everything is done.

Guys,

time to get to work!

I thought you said

you were going to perform well today?

Look at you slacking off again.

I'm doing something a class leader should do.

Look, everyone in the group

knows it by now.

This has to be measured in accordance with the volume of water. Can you do it?

That's why I'm here,

student of science.

Alright.

I'll teach you.

Young Master,

didn't you say that you have a flexible body?

Can you just do your part cleanly?

Ren Tian Zhen, can you support the ladder for real?

I'm scared.

Don't worry.

I'm supporting it with my strength.

Hold tight.

This isn't the right time for me to come.

Tou Tou, pass me the cloth.

I'll rinse it for you.

I dare not do so.

Your hands are too precious for it.

Just rest.

Mr Ren said

we must attend to everything ourselves.

Do not fail to commit an act of kindness just because it is small in scale.

Come on.

I was just being courteous.

But why?

I need to keep my promise anyway.

Hurry up.

Can you wipe other areas too?

Look at your right.

-Right. -Be gentle.

Left.

The left is pretty clean.

Meng Meng,

what's the matter?

Meng Meng,

you look like you're in a bad mood.

Why don't you return to the medical centre

and play with Jian Xi?

It's fine. I won't cause you any trouble.

That's not what I meant.

What about this?

You can join Mum

in helping the movers

to arrange the beds we need for the technique class.

What do you think?

Go now.

Mum is over there.

Go and find her.

You're slacking off again.

I...

If I don't keep an eye on you,

you'll start

to slack off.

You injured me. I can't clean it now.

Why are you saying?

Hurry up. Continue.

You'd better clean them well

or else we have to clean them again.

Fine.

They're so slow.

Change your direction.

What direction?

Isn't this...

Enough.

Why are you playing with this too?

I'm a woman too.

You're different from the rest.

How am I

different from the rest?

I want to be like them.

I'm afraid of ageing too.

I wish to be beautiful too.

However, you don't mind at all.

To me...

So, to you,

what kind of person am I?

I'll be frank here.

To me,

beauty

isn't your forte.

I met Mr Tu today.

Mr Tu mentioned his daughter.

Ming Meng. Do you remember her?

She got into the postgraduate program

in our city.

Ming Meng?

I have a good impression

of that lass.

She was well-mannered

and well-educated.

She's a great fit for Tian Zhen.

Ask her if she has a boyfriend.

Do you think I look like that kind of person?

But Mr Tu did ask me

if Tian Zhen had any girlfriends.

Actually, he wants me

to create a chance for them

so that they can

return to being childhood friends.

You see?

This is what we call a match made in heaven.

How did you answer him?

I brushed it off with a yawn.

You...

I told him I was never

concerned about the child.

As for you,

do you think your son will obey you

when it comes to finding a girlfriend?

It's not like

he must obey me.

I'm just worried about him.

Our son

is too innocent.

I'm just afraid

that he might do something he'll regret

out of impulse.

What if

he spends the rest of his life unhappily?

If that happens...

I think

Xu Meng

is clinging onto Tian Zhen.

You are

overthinking it.

Everyone is busy

with the opening of our apprentice class.

They spend their time together

from day until night.

I didn't discover anything strange

between

Tian Zhen and Meng Meng.

Of course you didn't.

You don't understand it at all.

I don't understand it?

Tou Tou spends time

with them all day long.

Why didn't you talk about her then?

Tou Tou?

She's just

hopelessly clueless.

What's wrong with you today?

We finally had time for class today.

Why are you sitting here alone?

Do you have a stomach ache?

Do you feel sick?

I'm stretching.

Stretching?

I keep feeling like

Meng Meng is troubled lately.

Did you feel it too?

What can she fret upon?

It's...

I feel like

there's something strange with her phone.

It's as if there's a bomb in it.

How did you sense that?

She left her phone

in the toilet that day.

After that, I tried to unlock her phone.

I kept trying

to guess her password.

I couldn't unlock it.

I didn't know her password.

When she came in, she...

She stared at me just like that.

She stared at me just like you.

I was terrified.

If you take my phone

and try to unlock it,

I'll do the same thing.

Instead of reflecting upon

your thief-like behaviour,

you're actually criticizing her?

Who said I'm a thief?

How could you say that?

You're being unfair here.

I'm just worried about her.

Besides,

I don't need a password to unlock my phone.

I have nothing to fear.

There's no need for any passwords.

Your phone?

It's either you buy candied hawthorns

or sachima

with your phone.

No one has time for that.

How did you know I was buying sachima?

Did you sneak a peek?

Did you?

If so, how did you know?

The seller said he would deliver it

right after I paid for it.

But it hasn't arrived yet.

Let me check.

So, the clueless Tou

can actually detect other people's emotions now.

Sachima.

Have you improved

after all the training?

Or is it because spring is here?

Everything is coming back to life.

It's mating season

again.

Cut the crap.

I'm busy every day.

I have no time

to think about such things.

Why are you staring at me?

Help me down.

What's wrong?

Can't you be gentle?

Alright. I'll be gentle.

Come.

Are you dating Meng Meng?

What?

What's the matter?

I said,

are you dating

Meng Meng?

That's none of your business.

Ren Tian Zhen!

Great timing.

Are you okay with having shrimp dumplings today?

Is ten enough?

Ten?

I'm starving.

-Can we have more? -Alright. We'll have 15.

There's a shrimp in every dumpling.

I'm sure you'll be full.

By the way, you came home pretty late recently.

I guess you're busy

now that the apprentice class has been reopened.

I heard from Tou Tou

that Mr Ren would hold an open class tomorrow.

Tomorrow's my rest day too.

I want to attend it.

Do you want to join me?

It's okay.

I have something else to do tomorrow morning.

I can't make it.

You're not attending the apprentice class?

No.

You see,

I have something important to do.

(What are you guys doing?)

(Show yourselves.)

(This is a group announcement.)

(This is an announcement of the new apprentice class.)

(On a beautiful day)

(like this,)

(our apprentice class)

(has finally been reopened)

(after many hardships.)

(Our first mission)

(is to do spring cleaning.)

(Please get into your positions)

(and do your jobs.)

(Let us help out)

(our family.)

(Beginning of Summer means the end of Spring.)

(As the name implies, it's the beginning of Summer.)

(Sunlight, temperature and rain gradually increase.)

(It's the phase where crops are growing abundantly.)

(Beginning of Summer)

Okay.

Are you a newcomer?

-Yeah. -Over here.

Write down your contact number.

Write them down.

-Newbie? -Yeah.

Fill up the form.

Madam.

Mr Ren.

Mr Ren, Madam.

Ms Dong.

Where should we put the flowers?

How many times have I told you guys

not to buy this?

Our class just reopened,

yet you're spending so much on it.

I would rather you donate the money

to our class.

We did.

We did donate to the class too.

This is something extra.

You said so yourself.

We need to create a good atmosphere during opening ceremonies.

This is a token of appreciation

from the class leader

and the other students.

We hope that the apprentice class

can be held smoothly.

Alright, I appreciate that.

-Leave it here. -Okay.

Congratulations.

Congratulations.

Good things come in pairs.

Today's a happy day.

Welcome.

Mr Liu.

May you be blessed with double happiness.

Dad, I'll make a move first.

Brat!

How could you leave it here?

Come.

Thank you for the flowers.

Okay.

How do we use it?

I don't know. I'm trying to figure it out too.

Which side is the head?

Hey, I'll go deaf, you know?

This is fun.

Are they the same?

Come. I'll help you out.

Look. There's an arrow here.

This confetti is nice.

Let me get one.

What are you two doing?

Is there a wedding?

My dear!

What are you doing here?

Did you come here alone?

Where's Quan?

Hey.

It's been a few days since we last saw him.

Didn't he go to the medical centre

and attend the apprentice class lately?

Before this, we thought

the apprentice class would be cancelled.

That's why he was looking for other jobs.

But I thought he would come back after the apprentice class

has been reopened.

Didn't he tell you anything?

Oh yeah. He said

he's not coming as he has something else to do this morning.

I'm here to help him apply for leave.

How much does this cost?

This is great.

Professor, I checked the place out.

It's much better

than my previous place.

It's pretty good.

It's pretty good.

Professor,

you see,

I'm still passionate toward Chinese medicine.

Although the process was excruciating,

the end result was fulfilling.

I think I'm one of the contributors

to the reopening

of our apprentice class, right?

I'll definitely invest in you again

if I make a comeback.

Seems like you resolved your financial crisis.

Later, we have to talk about

how I can make a comeback after this.

Let's drop the topic for now.

This is a gift

for your apprentice class.

Here you go.

Hey.

You should at least check it out.

I dare not accept this.

What? It's gilded.

I got this all the way

from Chokpori.

The Medicine King figure

implies

that we'll ward off any diseases

and stay safe with him around.

If so, I'll thank you on

-everyone's behalf. -You have to accept it.

-Thank you. -You have to accept it.

-I'll accept it then. -Sure.

Master!

Master.

Look who's here.

I made it in time.

This is great.

You are?

Don't you recognize me?

I'm Jiang Li.

Please pardon me.

I cannot recognise people well.

I had terminal cancer,

and I only had

three months to live.

Professor Ren,

just be honest with me.

People tell me that if TCM practitioners

introduce you

to Western doctors,

that means you're terminally ill.

If Western doctors introduce you

to TCM practitioners,

that means there's no hope.

I'm already prepared.

Look. Even a patient with terminal cancer

looks healthier than me.

You finally recognised her.

I didn't stay idle

last year.

I've travelled and hiked

all kinds of mountains.

I take tens of thousands of steps

each day.

It's been one year, right?

Have you been to the hospital?

I have.

The cancer is gone.

Misdiagnosis isn't that rare for Western doctors.

Mind your own business.

Can you keep quiet?

You're wrong.

Professor Ren is right.

This is karma.

I recovered

after paying off my debts.

I guess Buddha forgave you then.

Buddha even appeared in my dream

and told me that I'd recovered.

Buddha even told me

to pass a message to you, Professor Ren.

Saving a life...

Is of boundless beneficence.

My husband wrote this.

He is thankful to you.

After my family went hiking together,

the health of my son and daughter

improved too.

And, our bonds

are stronger than ever.

Professor Ren,

it's all thanks to you.

Excellent writings.

Later,

you guys can hang it here.

When people come in,

they can see it immediately.

Isn't it great?

It's your signboard now.

It's our signboard!

Yes.

I'm elated today.

I wish to thank our kind sponsors,

my master,

his wife,

and

everyone's favourite teacher,

Ms Song.

I would like to thank all of you as well.

Today's the reopening

of our apprentice class.

There's another occasion worth celebrating today.

I met an old patient of mine,

which is Madam Jiang Li.

Now,

I would like to invite her

to give us

an opening speech.

Everyone, give her a big hand.
