[Sisterhood]

[Episode 23]

Money

can't save that building.

But I think

Xueting should be helpful.

Although Xueting is close to Nan Lan,

I don't think

he wants to help me.

Mom is dead.

You two are the backbone

of the Lu family.

Be nice to him.

He should help.

How?

For example,

find him a wife.

He is very picky.

Where can I find someone

suitable for him?

We have Bihua, right?

Xueting and Bihua

were getting along well.

But Bai Wei

intervened.

Now everyone knows

what kind of person Bai Wei is.

I believe

Xueting must have changed his mind.

Your sister is stupid...

I can give it a try.

But it may not work.

If Xueting and Bihua

get married,

Lu and Jin families

will be on the same boat.

The Jin family

is not that poor.

That means your father...

No.

My father-in-law

left money?

Although it's not much,

it's enough for an emergency.

Whether you can

use the money

depends on

whether Xueting and Bihua

can get married.

Their marriage will bring the two families closer.

I'm sure it will work.

Xueting

is a bit proud,

but

these years,

he has changed a lot.

Sometimes,

Bihua may be

silly and cute,

but she is

pretty.

Although she's not as beautiful as you,

she's a noble lady.

I can help make them a perfect match.

Mrs. Lu was actually nice to me.

Although she didn't like me,

she let me eat on the main table.

She was good to me.

You think she was nice because of that?

You are my sister.

How could she let you

eat with servants?

But I came too often.

Why did she die

suddenly?

I was really mean.

I even cursed her behind her back.

I said she stank

and always ignored me.

As the younger generation,

I was too immature.

Alright, stop crying.

If you think

she treated you well,

be her daughter-in-law.

What did you say?

Your brother-in-law

now is the decision-maker in the Lu family.

If you like Xueting,

let your brother-in-law

help you.

But a marriage is between two people.

Can others make the decision?

Of course.

The Lu family's rules

are different from other families' rules.

But there is no love

between Lu Xueting and me.

Why would I marry him?

What?

What are you talking about?

Nothing, sister.

I bought a ship ticket

to Paris.

I'll leave tomorrow.

A ship ticket?

Why didn't you

tell me?

Didn't you agree with me

about going to Europe?

You also said

if I could finish my study,

you wouldn't feel guilty for our parents.

I did say that.

That was because

I didn't want you to be sad.

I was just comforting you.

We are the only two people

left in the Jin family.

Do you have the heart to abandon me?

Sister,

I know you are more capable

and resourceful than me.

You can handle everything.

You've always been like this.

Do you still need me?

Besides,

Lu Xueting

is a playboy.

He liked Bai Wei first

and fell for a Red Scarf girl then.

He might fall for someone else.

If I marry him,

that means I'll

just put myself in a grave.

I won't do it.

Sorry. Sister.

I can't be with you in Xingzhou.

I promised Jiao

to go to Paris with her.

Forget it.

You're such a disappointment.

Everything I did for you is in vain.

Sister.

I want to ask you for another favor.

I know.

You want money.

I'll give you.

It's not about money.

I want to go back to the old house to take a look.

But it's been deserted for so many years.

I'm scared.

So I want you

to go with me.

I'm not going.

Jiao was going to go with me.

But she needs to handle so many things

in the Dragon King Gang.

She is busy.

Sister, please go with me.

You can't go either.

You were afraid

the old house was haunted,

and you didn't dare to live there.

That's why you asked me

to rent an apartment for you, right?

Mrs. Lu just passed away.

I need to focus on her funeral.

I don't have time to go with you.

Bihua.

Be good.

You'll leave soon.

If you want to eat anything in Xingzhou,

go have a good meal.

If you want to buy anything,

just buy them and take them with you.

No matter how good Europe is,

I'm afraid there are some things

you can't buy there.

I have money now.

You can take whatever you want.

I won't let you suffer.

Sister, you're so nice to me.

[Tofu Village]

What is her name again?

I remember

someone called her that day.

Why can't I remember?

It's all your fault.

It's all your fault.

What are you doing?

That day, I told you to follow her and ask her.

But you wouldn't do it.

What's the use

of just following her?

I wanted to catch up with her and ask her.

But something didn't feel right.

Although she

looks a little old,

she walks fast

and has a good posture.

I was afraid she's not simple.

So I didn't dare to ask.

Besides,

if it weren't for my caution,

you wouldn't have remembered

she is from Wanhe Hall, right?

Right.

How about this?

You go to Wanhe Hall again

and ask

what her name is.

That is Wanhe Hall's place.

Long doesn't allow us to go there.

Hai allows it.

Wanhe Hall

is the biggest gang in Xingzhou.

Do you want me to die?

If I didn't get hurt,

I would have gone by myself.

I'm not asking you to make trouble.

I just want you to find out

what her name is.

Besides,

there is nothing to be afraid of.

I've been there.

I'm still fine, right?

Look at your forehead.

Is it fine?

Are you going or not?

No.

Are you going or not?

No.

Not going.

Not going.

You're not going.

Fine.

You've finished your work today?

Yes.

Hello, Ling.

Hello, Gui.

Hello, everyone.

Hai, you're here.

You're here, Hai.

One more?

Mr. Noodles.

Why did you and Ling communicate through sign language?

I...

If she doesn't want to eat,

I'll eat it.

Don't listen to her.

You are not married yet.

Are you afraid I'll take advantage of him?

I didn't say

I wouldn't pay for the noodles.

Mr. Noodles.

You heard that.

I wanted to be your customer.

Ling wouldn't let me.

Ling.

You are shy.

Gui, your mouth...

You're really...

Hai, we're going in.

Bye.

Bye.

Hurry.

You have a new friend?

Hello.

My name is Kuang Haisheng.

I'm Tianqing's...

What are you talking about?

Did she ask who you are?

Why are you here again?

I really have

something important to tell you.

I don't care.

I don't have time for you.

Let's go.

It's really important.

Tianqing.

How about you do your things first?

I'll be waiting outside.

She is not from Sanshui?

Then who asked her to work?

Who made the decision

to bring her back to Tofu Village?

Tianqing.

I tried to persuade her.

But as you know,

now,

it's not proper for me

to tell Tianqing what she should do or shouldn't do.

I understand.

It's okay.

Tianqing.

Come.

OK.

Miss Qi.

Hello.

I'm Wang Qiaoling.

Tianqing's friend?

Yes.

Where are you from?

Miss Qi.

I'm from Hainan.

Tianqing.

Ask your friend to wait outside.

Have some water.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

My name is He Xiaochan.

Tianqing and I are from the same village.

We are best friends.

On the night she came back,

she told me about you.

I heard that you were smart

when facing human traffickers.

I admire you.

I didn't expect

your sisters here

to be so nice.

I'll be very lucky

if I can stay here.

Well...

Whether you can stay or not

depends on Miss Qi.

It would be easy

if Tianqing was the big sister.

Wang Qiaoling, don't worry.

Tianqing is loyal to friends.

She will do her best to help you.

Miss Qi.

Wang Qiaoling, Meihua, and I

were kidnapped together.

If it weren't for her,

I would have died long ago.

So I couldn't really reject her

when she came to beg me today.

But

most importantly,

I can see

Wang Qiaoling

is hardworking, bold, and meticulous.

And when we were in danger,

she stood up for us.

She's a good girl.

Besides,

she went to the construction site

to work today.

She did a great job.

I can see that

she didn't lie

about her being a worker

at construction sites before.

Tianqing.

Look.

I brought

the cloth and silk here

from Sanshui.

Miss Qi.

You're awesome.

Not really.

Ling

is from Sanshui.

She will get married in Xingzhou.

Her parents and brother

are not around.

As the big sister,

I have to do my best.

Thank you, Miss Qi.

You guys talk.

I'm going to see if the food is ready.

Ling.

Stay here.

I have something to say.

You can hear it together.

Here's what I think.

No matter what happens

to any of the Red Scarf members

in Tofu Village in Xingzhou,

I will do what I can do.

If one day,

I'm dead,

Ling and Tianqing,

you two

must take care of Tofu Village for me.

Because we grew up drinking water

in the same river.

Girls from Sanshui

share the same origin.

Of course we should be united.

Tianqing.

Maybe your friend

is really good.

But she's not from Sanshui.

Ling told me

she worked for half of the day

at the construction site today.

In my opinion,

we give her the whole day's pay

and let her leave.

Miss Qi.

We girls from Sanshui

did grow up drinking water

in the same river.

But all the water in the world

has the same source, right?

Look.

When it runs into the Jiuqu River,

it becomes the water in the Jiuqu River.

When it runs into the Pearl River,

it becomes the water in the Pearl River.

When it runs into the Yellow River and the Yangtze River,

it becomes the water in the Yellow River and the Yangtze River.

But no matter which river

it runs into,

it will flow into the sea

and become sea water.

What do you think,

Miss Qi?

How many days have you studied in school?

Not long.

I'm sorry.

What you said just now

sounds like

something a university professor says.

Yes.

We are all Chinese.

But China is so big.

There are so many people overseas.

Am I that capable

to take care of them all?

You don't need to

give me more reasons.

I only care about my hometown.

I accept girls from Sanshui

who need my help.

But I don't accept

those who are not from Sanshui.

Yes.

I think

you are right.

We girls from the same place

are definitely closer.

But we Sanshui people

want to make more friends, right?

I can see

Wang Qiaoling is very loyal.

She's very grateful.

If you help her today,

she will repay you

in the future.

I don't want anyone to repay me.

Tianqing.

I know you are a fluent talker.

But don't try to persuade me.

You got the job at the construction site.

You let her work there.

It's none of my business.

But I

rented Tofu Village.

I only

accept those who are from Sanshui

and willing to be a Red Scarf member.

I don't

take in outsiders.

Miss Qi.

Tianqing.

Just let it go.

Miss Qi has made a compromise.

Are you going to force her to break the rules?

Miss Qi.

Are you all right?

I'm fine.

Qiaoling.

I...

I heard everything.

Tianqing.

We didn't mean to eavesdrop.

Miss Qi was talking

too loudly.

Tianqing.

I'm very grateful

for what you did for me.

No matter what,

I, Wang Qiaoling,

treat you as my friend.

Friends don't make things difficult for each other.

I'll leave.

Qiaoling.

Qiaoling.

Don't leave in such a hurry.

We can think of another way.

Qiaoling.

No need.

I can just

make do.

How about this?

At least you should have a bowl of noodles.

Yes.

The noodles cooked by Mr. Noodles

are very delicious.

My treat.

No need.

Wang Qiaoling, don't go.

Although Miss Qi is the big sister,

Tianqing can make decisions

on many things.

Miss Qi said it's not her business

if you work at the construction site, right?

You'll get paid as long as you work.

Just listen to Tianqing.

Yes.

You'll get paid as long as you work.

If you have money,

you can find a place to stay, right?

Let's go eat noodles.

Let's go.

Are you Tianqing's friend?

Mr. Noodles.

I'll treat them.

OK.

Thank you.

In a minute.

Go away.

We girls

are chatting.

Go.

Tianqing.

Xiaochan.

Meihua.

You are so nice to me.

I'm already very grateful.

But what your big sister said

makes sense.

I'm not from Sanshui.

I accept my fate.

I should

find another house to be a maid there.

At least I can have a place to live.

You know

it's expensive

to rent a house in Xingzhou.

My pay may not be enough.

Haisheng.

Honey.

You are staying in the hospital, right?

My friend has nowhere to live.

Why don't you let her

stay at your place for a few days?

You decide.

Thank you.

Done.

I don't think this is appropriate.

It's appropriate.

This is the first time she asks me for a favor.

And she called me Haisheng.

I'm so happy.

That's it.

Just stay there.

He's pursuing Tianqing.

He's willing to do

whatever we ask him to do.

Just stay there.

It's free.

Yes.

Tianqing.

You're so nice to me.

I will repay you

in this life.

Why are you saying this?

Your noodles.

Eat. Miss.

I put a lot of toppings in it.

It's good.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Eat.

We have food in Tofu Village.

Then I'll start eating.

Eat.

Eat.

Eat slowly.

Hai.

Hai.

Hai.

I have

the information on that woman.

They all call her Yudie.

Tell me her full name.

Her full name is

Chang Yudie.

Chang Yudie?

Who did you call Chang Yudie?

Honey.

I told you

there was a woman

looking at you somewhere

at the construction site.

I'm worried she is a bad woman.

I saw her today.

She is indeed

the female manager of Wanhe Hall.

Don't be afraid.

Although Wanhe Hall

is the biggest gang in Xingzhou,

I'm not afraid of it.

I can protect you.

Whoever she is,

she can't hurt you.

Tianqing.

What's wrong?

Chang Yudie.

It's the name of Tianqing's mother.

How could there be

such a coincidence?

My mother didn't go overseas.

She has been gone for so many years.

Maybe

she died

long ago.

Xueting.

Don't drink coffee

at night.

Don't you want to sleep?

I can't sleep anyway.

Should I

ask Bihua

to accompany you?

Brother.

Xueting.

Think about it.

Although she is a little silly,

sometimes being silly is a good thing.

Smart women

will put a lot of pressure on men.

I've been through it.

I like women outside too.

They are smart

and beautiful.

But you still need

a proper wife at home.

Like your sister-in-law.

Anyway,

she is the eldest daughter of the Jin family.

She is qualified to be a daughter-in-law in the Lu family.

Besides,

people of the Jin family

are not ill-bred.

Look what I've done outside.

Did she dare to say anything?

She didn't.

At most,

she just

complained about me

because of her jealousy.

And I would slap her.

What's the most important thing

to a man who is married?

Freedom.

You call that freedom?

Brother.

You don't need to say anything more

about this.

I can make do with some things.

But when it comes to love and marriage,

I can't.

I'd rather not marry anyone for the rest of my life.

Here's my advice.

Mom is dead.

It's really difficult for your wife

to manage this family.

Be nice to her.

If you still value

the reputation of the Lu family,

please restrain yourself

outside.

What?

Are you educating me?

Can't I?

You didn't like studying when you were young.

Mom often asked me

to teach you a lesson for her.

You're a good guy?

Do you think

I don't know how many women you had

in Europe?

The gossip about your love affairs

was widely known in Xingzhou.

Besides,

do you think

Bihua wants to marry you

because she can't find anyone else?

It's because of

what you did to her.

What did you say?

I've never seen

a brother like you.

You just created a rumor for your little brother.

Rumor?

You two went to Goddess Hotel.

You drank and booked a room.

You still won't admit it?

I admit it.

I was drunk.

I booked a room.

But it's definitely not

what you think.

You were drunk.

How can you be so sure?

Do you think I don't know

what will happen

between a drunk man and a drunk woman?

A man and a woman

were alone in a small room.

You can't explain.

Listen.

She's my wife's sister.

I need to take care of her.

I shouldn't let my father-in-law down.

You said you didn't sleep with her.

What if

she is pregnant?

Impossible.

Bihua

is not the kind of person you think she is.

She also said

she wanted true love

and would pursue true happiness.

She is a silly girl.

How could she know what love is

and what happiness is?

You didn't get caught in bed,

so you refuse to admit it.

Nonsense.

Do you think I'm like you?

Say it again.

Sit down.

Mom just passed away.

It's inappropriate

for us

to quarrel here.

And that building.

Now is not the time

to negotiate with Nan Lan.

She is also sad about mom's death.

How about this?

After I help Nan Lan

renovate her ancestral house,

I'll talk to her.

What do you think?

No.

It's urgent.

The company's money

has all been invested in that building.

Isn't she nice to you?

Go meet her.

We were once a family.

She doesn't

have to burn my bridges, right?

How could you say that?

What's wrong with that?

Who asked someone

to set fire to Nan Lan's house?

You wanted to burn her bridges.

Nan Lan knew it was you.

She let it go.

You should worship Buddha.

Also,

Bai Wei

is Xuelin's daughter.

As her uncle,

we should find a way

to get her back to the Lu family.

What?

We can't rush it.

We should let Bai Wei calm down.

But we can't wait too long.

One year at most.

Within a year,

I hope you can go to Shanghai

with me to get her back.

Xueting.

You must have lost your mind

after studying abroad.

Bai Wei is a liar.

She is not.

I swear

I'll get her back to the Lu family sooner or later.

Otherwise,

I don't deserve to be a descendant of the Lu family.

You mean

I don't deserve to be one, right?

You deserve to be one.

You deserve to be one.

[Condolences]

Xueting.

I'm going to Europe.

I'll leave tomorrow.

Maybe

I will never come back.

I will

start a new life there.

And I will find my love.

I will live a happy life.

Okay.

I

give you my best wishes.

Why

didn't you

ask me to stay?

I...

I'm such an idiot.

I knew you'd be like this.

After hearing what my sister said, I...

I'm really useless.

I shouldn't have come to you.

Wait.

Bihua.

Since you're going to leave,

let me treat you to a meal.

After all, we are still friends.

After I came back to Xingzhou,

you showed me around

and brought me a lot of joy.

Give me a chance to say goodbye to you.

OK?

That's more like it.

Actually,

I don't care what we eat.

But after we finish eating,

can you take me home?

The old house of the Jin family.

The house is in the mountain.

My sister and I

grew up there.

So I'm emotionally

attached to it.

I want to take a look before I leave.

But I dare not

go back alone.

I'm scared.

Okay.

You are going to leave.

You want to take a look at the place

where you grew up.

This wish

should be fulfilled.

[Wanhe Hall]

Yudie, it's me.

Young Chief.

Why are you here?

You haven't eaten well

for days.

I passed the North Bridge Road area today

and bought some dishes.

They should be your favorites.

I'm a servant.

Young Chief,

you are so nice to me.

I don't allow anyone to treat you as a servant.

And you can't say you're a servant.

There's no one else now.

Just call me Ming.

It sounds comfortable.

No.

That was how I called you when you were young.

You raised me

and protected me from blades

and bullets.

I'm indebted to you.

Although I call you Yudie,

I regard you as my mother.

So why can't you call me by my nickname?

Okay.

Ming.

I'm not hungry at all.

But since you bought them,

let's eat together.

That's more like it.

Maybe

she is really Aunt Yudie?

It's been so many years.

I really miss her.

She was the most beautiful woman

in our village.

I envied you when I was young.

It would be better

if I had

such a beautiful mother.

She was tall.

She had big eyes

and fair skin.

Can you

leave me alone?

You finally speak.

Because you're so annoying.

Hai said

now she is

a manager

of an awesome organization.

How about

you go meet her?

No.

It can't be my mother.

There are many people

who have the same name in the world.

The same name?

If it's not her,

why did she come to see you?

Tianqing.

We are best friends.

I'm doing this for your own good.

If you think for me,

don't mention it

ever again.

What if she comes to you?

Aren't you a nuisance?

That's it.

No matter how cold-hearted people are,

they still want their mothers.

My father said

my mother abandoned me.

Since she has abandoned me,

she is no longer my mother.

That's because your dad was angry.

What about you?

What do you think?

He Xiaochan.

If you keep talking,

I won't regard you

as my sister anymore.

Leave.

Leave me alone.

Please.

Fine.

I'll stop talking.

Just pretend I'm not here.

Maybe

they really just have the same name.

What are you going to do

about your daughter?

I failed her.

Don't say that.

You wanted to go back.

It was because of me.

My mother died.

My father was being hunted by enemies.

It was my fault.

No.

Ming.

I was too selfish.

Life in the countryside was so hard.

And my man was too ordinary.

I didn't want to go back.

There is nothing wrong about wanting a better life.

Your daughter will forgive you.

Maybe.

She is a good daughter.

But the man beside her...

That man was willing

to die for her.

He should be a good man.

I've asked around.

He's just a villain.

He has nothing.

In the past,

he was working at a construction site.

But he didn't work hard

and got kicked out.

Then he became a man under Lin Longqing.

But he was not ambitious.

Why is he

pestering my daughter?

Do you want me to do something?

No.

After all, it's been more than ten years.

Even if we help her,

she might not appreciate it.

But that villain

saw me.

It may not be very convenient

for me to see Tianqing again.

She is in Xingzhou anyway.

It's better than

having no information

on her in the countryside.

You're right.

My daughter is really good.

She just came to Xingzhou

and now is the manager of the construction site.

She's always been smart

and full of ideas.

Those older kids

were willing to listen to her.

Really?

If so,

I'd like to meet her.

[The Jin family's old house Xingzhou]

This house is old,

but it's still beautiful.

Let's go. Xueting.

Come in with me.

It's inappropriate.

It's too late.

And there are only the two of us.

It's inappropriate.

Didn't you promise me before?

I promised to help you

go back to the old house.

You've already seen it, right?

It's too late.

And there are only the two of us.

A man and a woman are together alone.

Let's not go in, OK?

Otherwise,

if others see us,

they'll misunderstand.

Hypocrite.

Fine.

I'll go by myself.

Jin Biyun.

Jin Biyun.

You witch!

You demon!

You witch!

You killed my mother.

You will suffer a horrible death.

You'll suffer a horrible death!

Jin Biyun.

You killed my mother.

You will suffer a horrible death!

Jin Bihua.

Young Lady of Jin.

Help me!

Help me!

Help me.

Help me.

Help me!

Are you a human or a ghost?

I...

Lu Xuelin.

Get me out of here.

As long as you get me out of here,

I'll give you

whatever you want.

Lu Xuelin?

It's really you.

You're not dead?

Why are you in my house?

I...

I was kidnapped by bad guys.

Help me!

Help me!

Come on.

Help me.

Unlock me.

I don't know how.

How about this?

Call the police.

As long as I can get out,

everything of the Lu family will be yours,

OK?

Go.

Go.

Well...

I'll go get Xueting.

Xueting?

Xueting is back.

Great.

Go tell him.

Go get him.

Hurry up.

Okay.

Let go of me!

Don't kill me!

Yasin.

Are you Yasin?

I am the Young Lady of Jin.

I treated you as my uncle.

Don't you recognize me?

Bihua.

What's wrong?

Get in the car.

Get in the car first.

Did you really see a ghost?

Yes, there's really a ghost here.

No wonder my sister didn't allow me to live here.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Don't come again.

You can't come here again.

Bihua, what are you doing

in the middle of the night?

This is the only place for us to talk.

I dismissed all the servants.

I checked carefully.

No one will hear us.

What is that important thing

you want to tell me?

Sister,

I saw someone today.

Who?

Lu Xuelin.

I went back to the old house.

Sister.

What happened?

Shouldn't you tell me?

I have nothing

to say to you.

Bihua.

Our parents died.

In this world,

only you and I

are family.

If you don't want to lose

your only family,

just pretend you didn't see anything.

OK?

You locked him up?

Right.

Yasin obeyed you the most.

He would do anything you say.

So Lu Xuelin didn't die.

You imprisoned him.

You're so scary, Jin Biyun.

What else are you hiding from me?

Keep your voice down, Bihua.

I did all this

for the Jin family.

If you don't believe me,

you can report it to the police.

But even if the police arrive,

they won't find any evidence.

If I

call Yasin,

he will kill Lu Xuelin.

You know that.

Although Yasin can't speak,

he's not deaf.

The forest near the old house is lush.

There are all kinds of beasts.

If he throws the body in it,

the police can't even find the bones.

You're so cruel.

If that happened,

you would be the murderer.

What did you say?

Why would I be the murderer?

He is just using

our family's old house

to cure his disease.

He doesn't want anyone else to know.

If you report to the police,

isn't it your fault?

Bihua.

I didn't imprison Lu Xuelin.

He begged me

to find him

a place to hide.

Nan Lan is the Heavenly Lady.

She knows witchcraft.

He was worried that one day

he would be killed by Nan Lan.

That's why he begged me.

It was not easy for me.

I've been suffering in the Lu family.

And I had to keep it a secret for him.

I don't really believe

what you said.

I didn't expect you to believe me.

But you are my sister.

You should wish me the best of everything

instead of helping others

and getting me killed,

right?
