[Sisterhood]

[Episode 6]

Miss Qi.

Can we find another construction site

to work?

No.

They said the project was suspended.

They didn't say the project was terminated.

If we go to another place,

and they can't find us when they need us,

the reputation

of the Sanshui Red Scarf

will be ruined.

Xingzhou has many construction sites,

but not every construction site

wants female workers.

Besides,

if it's an ordinary family,

it won't need too many workers

to build a building.

If Miss Qi

didn't take such a big project,

she wouldn't have hired a dozen of you

from the hometown.

A dozen?

So only they need to eat?

Gui, what do you mean?

Do you mean

we're here to steal your job?

Stop it.

Meihua, what's wrong with your ears?

Did I say you stole my job?

I think you want to pick a fight.

Right?

I'm not afraid of you.

Shut up!

Meihua.

Gui.

Sit down.

The boss suspended the project

without giving a reason?

They are the boss.

They can suspend the project whenever they want.

Let's wait for a few more days.

It's all on me.

All right?

That's not the point.

All we know is the project has been suspended.

We don't know when it will start again.

What's the point of just waiting?

It's a not bad thing

to take off the red scarf.

As long as we have strength,

we can make money.

At least we don't have to waste time.

Feng.

You talk too much.

What?

Can't I talk when we are not working?

The decision was made by the boss.

There is nothing I can do.

But I won't force you

to stay.

If you want to follow Xiuhe,

go now.

Leave the red scarf.

Where can we go?

Let's find another construction site.

I'll leave if you leave.

Feng, don't take it off.

You're new here.

I don't mind you acting tough at the construction site.

Now you are telling me what to do?

I'm not.

What if we can start working tomorrow?

It is

possible.

It's hard to say.

I've heard about the new boss.

On our first day in Xingzhou,

we saw that the Heavenly Lady was parading.

Right, Ling?

Yes.

If it weren't for her,

Xiaochan would have been

bullied by those rogues.

Yes.

Ling also told me that

the Heavenly Lady

is a deity who protects women,

especially poor women.

Since she is

our new big boss,

she won't make things difficult

for the Red Scarf.

Miss Qi.

Should we ask her

about what happened

and explain

our difficulties?

Maybe we'll start working tomorrow.

That's easy for you to say.

I've been in Xingzhou for so many years.

I heard

Miss Nan Lan

is not very easy-going.

That's right.

No bosses will care about

workers like us.

Tianqing.

You're too naive.

Not every boss

is like Master Yu Shixiang.

You hit him.

He didn't blame you.

He even built the ladies' lavatory for us. Right?

I've built houses with my dad

since childhood.

Of course I know

it's not easy to negotiate with bosses.

But it's not impossible.

I remember this

when I was 15.

There was a boss changing ideas everyday.

We completed the roof.

But he asked us to rebuild the roof

for no reason.

The deadline was tight.

My dad and I had no time to eat

or sleep.

It took us two days

to deliver the project.

But in the end,

the boss got up

late in the morning

and said we should rebuild it again.

I was not convinced after I heard what he said.

So I went to argue with the boss.

My dad said,

"It's normal for bosses to be unpredictable."

"We are workers."

"It doesn't matter to suffer losses."

"We can just rebuild it."

I wouldn't listen to my father.

I went to argue with the boss.

I don't remember

what I said.

Anyway,

the boss didn't let us rebuild it.

He also thanked us for our efforts.

When we were eating,

he gave us roasted duck.

From that time on,

I understood

no matter what happens,

no matter how hard it is,

we have to try our best.

Miss Qi.

Do you think what I said makes sense?

People

should believe in themselves.

If we don't even try,

how do we know

we can't do it?

You mean

I should negotiate with the new boss?

Yes.

I'm not that capable.

I'll go.

I'll ask for an explanation for my sisters.

What

do you think?

You want to stand up for us.

Of course it's good.

But can people

like us

meet her?

Yes, Tianqing.

She is the richest woman

in Xingzhou.

Where are you going to find her?

Goddess Hotel is over there, right?

What's so difficult about it?

Although we go neck to neck

in fighting,

you run faster than me.

You don't understand.

She would really pull the trigger.

I'm sure of that.

You know what?

Her previous husband

was killed by her.

Then why wasn't she arrested?

They couldn't find his body.

Where was the body?

It's said that

she made it into soup

and drank it.

She's so scary.

As an old saying goes,

the more beautiful a woman is, the more dangerous she is.

We are lucky

to have this ending.

That's right.

We might have escaped successfully.

Cheers.

Cheers.

But it's strange.

Instead of

making people

fear her,

these horrible rumors have made her more charming.

Right.

And she has

so much money.

The deadline for my gambling debt is close.

I'm also desperate.

If my business hadn't gone bankrupt,

I would have gone back to Penang

to reunite with my wife and child.

Did you really buy a boat ticket?

No.

I'm here for gold panning.

How can I go back

empty-handed?

Bruce.

Do you know where I can get a gun?

Well.

Why do you want a gun?

Before I leave Xingzhou,

I want to do something big.

Me too.

But I don't know

how to get a gun.

Sir.

Are you calling me?

That's right.

Let's drink together.

Sure.

Well...

Sir.

You left your stuff there.

It doesn't matter.

But they are very expensive.

Yes.

I have a lot.

Do you like them?

They are yours.

Ours?

They are real, right?

Yes.

Didn't you ask me to drink?

Yes.

Come on.

Cheers.

What do you do?

We should be in the same industry.

What?

In the same industry?

I just heard you said

you wanted to do something big.

I only do big business.

But

I just came to Xingzhou.

I haven't found a way.

I'm familiar.

Tonight,

there will be a ball at Goddess Hotel.

Many rich people in Xingzhou

will be there.

Let's do it together.

Goddess Hotel?

Good idea.

But

I have a small wish.

I want to take a woman with me.

A woman?

To be honest,

my name is Zheng Qian.

I'm a pirate.

Pirate?

My ship

is on the sea.

Now what I need is a wife.

Just now, I heard

you were talking about a woman.

You said

she is very beautiful

and extremely dangerous.

I like her.

So you also like

Nan Lan.

Hendry.

keep an eye on this pirate.

Don't let him escape.

I'll call the police now.

You have the guns.

You call me a pirate?

Who will the police believe?

We work together.

Why should you have the woman?

That's right.

You two split the money and treasure

equally.

I only want that woman.

Isn't that fair?

If you want to work with me,

let's drink together.

If you don't,

you are free to go out

to the police.

There are no bullets

in the guns.

Whether you can walk out of this room

depends on your luck.

Of course we want to work with you.

With you,

we will definitely succeed.

Come on.

Cheers.

Wish us

a great success.

It looks like I won't leave Xingzhou

empty-handed.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Come out.

I knew you were following me.

Why are you following me?

You are alone.

I'm worried.

Then go with me.

I asked the way.

Go straight and turn right.

There's nothing I can do with you.

I didn't know

you were so stupid.

What did you say?

So many people refused to step forward.

You are new here and you stepped forward.

You won't get paid if you don't work.

I'm doing this for myself.

You won't be hungry.

Even if you can't become the wife of a boss,

it's not bad to be Hai's wife.

What nonsense are you talking about?

Can't you see it?

Even Piggy Qiang

is afraid of Hai.

And the young boss.

He turned around and left as soon as he saw Hai.

He is also afraid of him.

It means Hai is really something

in Xingzhou.

What?

He's just a rogue.

Have you forgotten?

He wanted to throw you

in the sea to feed the fishes.

Let bygones be bygones.

As long as he treats you well.

I think he treats you well.

Why don't you ask him again

to find us

an easy job that allows us

to make money fast?

What's wrong?

Why are you looking at me like this?

I really hate

that rogue.

I don't even want to see him,

not to mention asking him.

Please don't mention him anymore

in front of me.

But asking Hai

to help us find a job

is easier than asking the Heavenly Lady

to allow dozens of us to start working,

right?

Who's going to beg the Heavenly Lady?

Although she is the big boss,

we make money with our strength.

We're not inferior to her.

I'm just going to ask her

on behalf of my sisters

why the project has been suspended.

Does she have a proper reason?

When does she plan to start the project again?

Is there a specific date?

I'll go with you.

Let me accompany you to boost your courage.

We are good sisters.

Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.

That's all for today.

Goodbye, teacher.

See you tomorrow.

See you.

Master Zhanyuan, go.

Let's go.

Master Zhanyuan is very smart.

His English has improved a lot.

Miss Bai is so smart.

You stayed because of a bowl of porridge.

You mean what happened in the daytime?

Ma'am,

a rich lady like you

may not be able to imagine

the difficulties of homeless people

like me.

When I was in Shanghai,

it was not easy for me to get a recommendation letter

from Mrs. Mai.

Although you haggled over the price,

30 yuan a month

is more than enough

to me.

I really cherish this job.

So I went to deliver porridge to Mrs. Lu.

I had no choice.

You knew my mother-in-law

is from Shanghai?

Mrs. Mai told me about it.

I think you're good.

After all, you are my son's tutor.

It's just my sister...

I wonder why the young lady of the Jin family

dislikes me.

But it must be my fault.

Ma'am,

please say something good about me

in front of your sister.

You are being so humble

for this job, huh?

I'm not being humble.

Survival

is more important than anything.

And I think

she is a perfect match

for Master Xueting.

I hope they

get married soon.

If Bihua hears what you said,

she will feel relieved.

Ma'am,

I have to

tell you something.

I want to go out tonight.

Master Xueting asked me out.

I couldn't really refuse him.

I...

Go.

You just told me that.

It means you are aboveboard.

Have fun.

I've been waiting

for a long time.

I was afraid that Miss Bai would forget

because I made the appointment so early.

How could I forget?

It's just that Zhanyuan studied hard today,

and I spent more time on him.

Your outfit today

makes me want to invite you

to dance.

Do you know how to dance?

I'm not a good dancer.

I can teach you.

What are you doing?

Why does it stink?

I have to stand it even if it stinks.

This is a secret recipe.

I just learned it.

It makes my skin

fair and tender.

If I have fair skin,

Xueting

will like me more.

Get up.

Clean your face.

No. I just applied it.

I can't move.

Go on.

Xueting

just left with another woman.

What?

Sister.

Where is Xueting?

I'll go find him.

He drove a car.

Can you catch up with him?

Who did he take?

Who else?

That tutor.

What did I tell you?

I told you to kick her out.

But you didn't listen.

Look at now.

It's all your fault.

Enough. Stop yelling.

It's strange

why Bai Wei came here.

The act of delivering porridge

is also impressive.

It suddenly made her the favorite

of Mrs. Lu.

I let her go on purpose.

I want to find out

who she is.

How?

Clean your face first.

Sister.

There's nothing important

here.

Where is her suitcase?

[Chinese businessman Lu Xuelin and Xingzhou Junlin Construction Company reached a partnership.]

[The Heavenly Lady Nan Lan is respected by people for helping the poor.]

[The Heavenly Lady Nan Lan]

[Disputed case: Chinese businessman Lu Xuelin missing, possibly murdered by Nan Lan]

Isn't it all about

the Lu family?

[The Lu family and British Yuanli Construction Company reached a partnership.]

[Chinese businessman Lu Xuelin and British Earth Construction Company cooperate to invest in many projects in Xingzhou.]

Who is

Bai Wei?

Miss Bai went out.

Master Xueting drove out with her.

I think they made an appointment.

You said Xueting

often brought her dim sum?

But she never ate it.

She gave it to me

without opening the box.

That's unusual.

Even a noble lady

can't do that.

She even gave me tips.

More than once.

That's even more unusual.

She's from Shanghai.

She reminds me of an old friend.

Yes, me too.

I thought of her immediately.

I asked her about her age.

They match.

I wonder

if she was telling the truth.

Her eyebrows...

They are not very similar.

But

her personality...

Yes.

They are similar in spirit.

You don't need to focus on the road when you are driving?

You look

a little unhappy.

No.

After I came to Xingzhou,

this is the first time

I come out at night.

I'm so excited

to see such beautiful night scene.

This is me.

Even if there's fire in my heart,

I have a cold face.

This is obviously a poem.

But

I really like to see you smile.

When I see you smile,

I feel warm

and familiar.

Hello.

Mr. Ping.

Mrs. Ping.

Welcome to Goddess Hotel.

The room has been cleaned.

It's the same room as the one you stayed in

during your vacation last year.

Okay.

And

have you prepared

the Nyonya cuisine I like?

Yes.

Do you want to eat in the restaurant

or should I deliver it to your room?

Deliver it to my room.

I'll go to bed after eating.

I'm too sleepy.

So sleepy.

Okay.

I'm on it.

Okay.

I'm not going to the room.

The music

makes this place suitable

for reading this novel.

Deliver the food

wherever she is.

I'm starving. Hurry.

Got it.

Honey.

[VIOLENCE AT THE SEA]

Welcome to Goddess Hotel.

This way, please.

That's all. Thank you.

OK. Please wait a moment.

Miss Bai,

I can't wait.

Let's dance first, okay?

Wait.

I haven't seen Goddess here

after we arrived

in Goddess Hotel.

Sorry.

Excuse me.

Will your big boss, Miss Nan Lan,

be here today?

Yes.

There will be a ball tonight.

She will definitely come.

Thank you.

Who is going to save

my ordinary life?

When will a miracle come?

What did you say, honey?

You want chicken?

Great.

You finally have an appetite.

But I've almost

eaten up the chicken.

How about I order another one for you?

I'm reading a novel.

Please don't disturb me.

Okay.

And

it would be better

if you make lower noise

when you drink the soup.

Did I

make noise again?

Sorry.

I always forget.

Sorry.

She's here.

Today, she

is different from

the Heavenly Lady that day, right?

Yes.

If you hadn't brought me here,

I'm afraid

I couldn't even recognize her.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Mr. Guo, excuse me.

Sure.

Xueting.

I didn't look carefully that day.

You've grown up.

When did you come back?

I just got off the ship

when we met that day.

I've finished my study.

Sister-in-law,

I haven't seen you for so many years.

You're still so pretty.

Don't call me that.

Call me Miss Nan Lan.

Are you saying I'm beautiful?

You know my age.

Don't say anything against your will.

Why are you here?

I...

Are you here to plead for the Lu family

after getting some information?

What information?

Why should I plead?

It seems that Lu Xueqiao didn't tell you.

It's good that you don't know.

It has nothing to do

with you anyway.

I can see

you have a deep grudge against the Lu family.

But these days,

I've always remembered

you were really good to me when I was young.

So I came to see you.

I didn't know

the Lu family

still has such a sincere man like you.

Xueting.

Who is this?

This is Bai Wei. Miss Bai.

Miss Nan Lan.

Hello.

My name is Bai Wei.

Your hotel is so beautiful.

Just like you.

Xueting.

Did you bring her back from Europe?

You have good taste.

She is...

I'm a tutor.

Yes.

I'm the tutor of Master Zhanyuan.

Xueting.

Did you learn to dance in Europe?

Of course.

Miss, please.

Thank you.

Why does Miss Bai

keep staring at me?

That day, when the Pageant on Immortals

arrived at the front door of the Lu family,

Miss Bai was there too.

She was impressed by your style

and couldn't forget you.

What?

Have I become

attractive to women?

I've admired you since I was a kid.

Xueting,

you've been

a kind child since you were little.

In the future,

you should also be a kind man.

Don't break a girl's heart.

Nan Lan.

Since childhood, I've always thought

you're a kind woman.

Now,

I still think so.

So I really don't know

where those ridiculous rumors

came from?

You don't believe

I killed your brother?

These days,

I've been thinking about it.

I think everything

needs evidence.

Without legal judgment,

you can't just say

someone is guilty.

You're not here to plead for the Lu family.

You're here to investigate the murderer.

Here?

Yes.

Behind Goddess Hotel.

The old house of the Heavenly Lady.

It seems

no one lives here.

Who cares?

We'll leave after we finish our work.

We have Long's support. Don't worry.

No way.

I told Long

I wouldn't kill anyone.

Go knock on the door

and see if anyone lives inside.

Really, Hai?

We're going to knock on the door and tell them

before setting fire to the house?

Besides,

the one who paid us said

there's no one inside.

Master Lu Xueqiao

doesn't look like a good guy.

Go knock on the door

and see if there's anyone inside.

I...

Are you going or not?

I...

If you don't go, I'll go.

Hello?

Is anyone inside?

Is anyone inside?

Is anyone there?

Enough.

Hai.

The police will hear you if you keep shouting.

Can we do it now?

Wait.

Anyone?

Please.

I don't think

we should be here.

Let's go back.

What are you afraid of?

Straighten your back.

There are many people there.

Let's go there and ask around.

How did you get in?

Are you looking for a job?

Then you have to come during the day.

We're not here for a job.

No matter what you want to do,

you can't stay here.

Get out.

Here's the thing.

Excuse me.

I want to see your boss.

My boss?

Yes.

What's wrong?

Tao, don't blame me.

I don't know

how they snuck in.

Hello.

Are you in charge here?

Yes.

We didn't sneak in.

We walked in through the gate.

I'm looking for

the boss here.

Miss Nan Lan.

Looking for Miss Nan Lan?

Yes.

What is it?

We are the Red Scarf of the construction site.

We heard the project was suspended today.

My sisters wanted me to ask

what's going on.

You should

go back

and ask your foreman about this.

We talked to the foreman,

but he didn't give me clear information.

That's why I'm here.

It's the ball time now.

It's not convenient.

Come back tomorrow.

Please.

Let us meet her.

We really can't afford

to waste even one day.

We'd like to start working tomorrow.

-Please. -Please.

You just don't understand

what I said, right?

Then I'll

make it clearer.

You

shouldn't be here.

Get out.

Wait.

Miss Nan Lan is your boss.

She is also our boss.

We're here to find her.

Why won't you

let us see her?

If Miss Nan Lan is busy,

it's okay. We can wait.

What are you doing?

You can't sit here.

Move.

Just talk. Don't touch me.

Are you here to make trouble?

I'll ask someone to throw you out.

What's happening?

Miss Bai.

These two girls are my friends.

It's really you, Miss Bai.

I came here

with Master Xueting.

He's dancing

with Miss Nan Lan on the dancing floor.

If you don't mind,

can I invite my two friends

to sit together?

I'm sorry.

Please sit.

Are those two girls wearing red scarves

also your friends?

No.

I never saw them.

Miss Bai.

What a coincidence.

We meet again.

Thank you for helping us out.

I didn't have time

to ask your names last time.

Ouyang Tianqing.

He Xiaochan.

Why are you here?

We're here to see the Heavenly Lady.

Miss Nan Lan.

You mean

her, right?

I think they are here for me.

Her clothes are so beautiful.

The jewellery is more beautiful.

They must be expensive.

Cheers.

Cheers.

Two Red Scarf members came in.

They want to see you.

Hello, Miss Nan Lan.

Come and have a seat.

♫Sleep, my dear baby♫

♫I will be cradling you in my arms♫

♫Fall asleep quickly in the cradle♫

♫Sleep tight in the cradle. It's warm and comfortable♫

Your friends?

Sort of.

We met on the day when we got off the ship.

I think I've seen someone

dressing like this before.

I think they are workers

at our construction site.

But

why do they want to

see Nan Lan?

I don't know.

Reason?

No reason.

I just want to suspend the project.

I know you must have a reason

for it.

Maybe it's not convenient to tell me.

But

if you don't have a proper reason,

I hope we can start working tomorrow.

I've

taken control of the building.

It's my call.

I don't need any reason.

When do you plan to

continue the project?

If I want,

I'll possibly never continue the project.

The suspension may be nothing

to you.

But it concerns the livelihood

of dozens of Red Scarf members.

Many sisters are waiting to earn money

and send money back to the hometown

to support the children and the elderly.

Although you're the boss,

you're still a woman.

Please think about

our difficulties.

If there's no reason,

please let us start working tomorrow.

Did Lu Xueqiao send you here?

I don't know this person.

I'm here to see you

on behalf of the Red Scarf.

Just like you don't know

Lu Xueqiao,

I don't know

your Red Scarf sisters.

No matter who sent you here,

or who you represent,

I've met you.

Tao.

Yes.

Walk them out.

Please.

Can we start working tomorrow?

No.

Under the sun of Xingzhou,

we sweat

and carried bricks with both hands.

We climbed stairs step by step

and shouldered burdens

as heavy as us.

That's how your building

was built.

What did we do wrong?

You can't just suspend the project.

The Red scarf is human too.

I don't expect your sympathy.

But as the boss,

you have to follow the rules.

You are just a worker.

How dare you talk to me like that!

Have you ever thought that

I would fire you

and kick all of the Red Scarf members

out of Xingzhou?

It seems that the legend of the Heavenly Lady

is a lie.

You...

What did you say?

Listen.

When we got off the boat that day,

they told me

the Heavenly Lady

is a deity who protects women,

especially poor women.

But when I saw you today,

I really regret

I worshiped your sedan chair that day.

Xiaochan, let's go.

We are not begging this rich woman anymore.

We can go back to Sanshui.

We have hands and legs.

We have strength.

I don't believe I'll starve to death. Let's go.

Don't move!

Don't move!

Don't move if you want to live.

Do you hear me?

Don't move!

Don't move!

Don't move if you want to live.

Squat.

Lower your head.

Stop shouting! Don't move!

Let me see who dares to move.

Don't move.

Don't move.

Ladies.

Gentlemen.

Don't make a sound.

Don't panic!

It's just a robbery.

Quiet!

Be quiet!

For your own safety,

I hope

you don't run around or scream.

Now,

gentlemen,

please put your watches and banknotes

on the tables gently.

Pretty ladies,

take out

your beautiful jewellery.

In the same way as the gentlemen did.

Why are you screaming?

Shut up!

Put the necklace inside.

And you! What are you looking at?

Put the valuable things inside.

Hurry up.

Come on.

Hurry up.

Put them inside.

Look.

That gentleman did a good job.

Listen up.

Be cooperative.

Do as

what I just told you.

I don't want to hurt you.

Hurry up.

Okay.

Quickly.

Give us all the valuable things.

Come on.

Hurry up.

Hurry up.

Take out your wallet.

Hurry. I saw it.

Take it out. Come on.

Hurry up.

And the necklace. Take it off.

Take it off.

Now,

let me introduce myself.

I'm

Zheng Qian.

I'm a pirate.

This time,

I came ashore in Xingzhou.

I want to find a woman

to be my wife.

She will go to the sea with me

to ride the wind and waves.

However,

don't worry.

I will

only take one woman with me.

Miss Nan Lan.

Where are you?

Brother.

Over there.

The one in red.

You are indeed

the most charming woman in Xingzhou.

You deserve your reputation.

Hendry.

Bruce Lee.

I didn't expect

you two bastards

to collude with a pirate.

You played with my feelings.

You were heartless to me first.

Don't be afraid, everyone.

The police will be here soon.

They will arrest these thieves and shoot them.

Really?

I forgot to tell you.

With my daggers,

I can stand on the deck

and kill sailors

on the other boat.

If you don't believe me,

try it.

I have plenty of

daggers.

Hurry up, you two.

Everyone

is waiting to dance.

Listen to me.

Remove your watches

and put them in the bag.

That's right.

Move!

Back off!

Do you hear me?

You poor women.

What are you doing here?

Move.

Take off your necklace.

We had a deal with him.

The treasure is ours.

Take it off.

Will you take it off or not?

Will you?
