[Sisterhood]

[Episode 29]

I'm not afraid you'll laugh at me.

If we couldn't start working today,

I would have to leave Xingzhou.

But I didn't expect

it was the Red Scarf

that helped me at that moment.

It was you, Qi.

You should thank someone else.

I didn't mean to help you.

Ouyang Tianqing

acted on her own.

Qi.

Qi.

Stop being stubborn.

Tianqing told me everything.

Can you make the decision?

I can.

Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to come to you.

Do you not believe me?

I don't believe Qi.

She is so mean.

She is willing to help us?

You said our big sister was mean.

I don't agree.

During these years

in Xingzhou,

she helped over 100 Sanshui sisters.

If she is mean,

why would she do that?

But she treats me as her enemy.

I don't know what happened

between you two

or what grudges you have.

I only heard that

you came here together

among the earliest female workers in Xingzhou.

I think we all came here

to make a living.

It's not easy for all of us.

We should cherish each other

and sympathize with each other.

Cherishing each other

and sympathizing with each other.

You said that to Tianqing, right?

She's just a girl.

She just came to Xingzhou.

That's not something she could say.

Well.

I only focused on talking.

I forgot to tell you this.

Each of the Blue Scarf members earns 1 yuan per day.

That is too much.

We've been working in Xingzhou for so long.

No one offered that price before.

Besides,

not everyone

of you Red Scarf members

can work in the orchard.

On average,

you don't earn that much.

I know that.

If I

accept the money,

I will feel guilty.

That's how my sisters think too.

So we discussed about it.

We take 60 cents per day.

The remaining 40 cents

belong to you.

By the way,

look,

I brought the money here.

This is the pay of the first day.

Here you are.

Ouyang Tianqing.

Big sister.

It's up to you.

Xue Jinzhi.

You came all the way here.

Have a bowl of noodles before you leave.

Mr. Noodles.

It's on me.

OK.

Mr. Noodles.

What are you waiting for?

Go cook noodles.

It'll be ready soon.

Tianqing.

You should accept the money.

Jinzhi.

Our big sister

is treating you to noodles.

Why would she

charge commission?

Everyone can face difficulties.

It's not easy for all of us.

Miss Qi.

You want to see me?

Sit.

No wonder you and Xiaochan

like to come here.

This place is cool.

And you can see farther from here.

When you see farther, you'll be generous.

Miss Qi.

I heard you haven't had dinner yet, right?

If you like it here,

I'll take the food here

and eat with you.

No need.

I think clearly

when I'm hungry.

And I won't be confused.

Today,

I almost made a huge mistake.

If I forced you

to take off the red scarf,

I'm afraid I would regret it for the rest of my life.

Go and tell Xiaochan.

If she wants,

she can come back anytime.

Tofu Village will always be her home.

No need to apologize.

If she doesn't like the red scarf,

she doesn't have to wear it.

Miss Qi.

I just talked with some sisters.

Some are old.

Some are new here.

We talked sincerely.

We all admire you.

I...

Ouyang Tianqing.

Maybe you are better

than I thought.

I just told

Ling and Gui.

From now on,

you should make decisions on important things.

The future

of the Red Scarf

depends on you.

Wait.

Wait.

Thank you.

Thank you. Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Tianqing.

You're amazing.

The Red Scarf and the Blue Scarf

have had grudges for many years.

They were dissolved because of you.

It's a piece of cake

to Tianqing.

If she can dissolve

the problem between her mother and Hai,

she will be impressive then.

Right. Tianqing.

We've been working in the orchard for many days.

Why hasn't Hai

visited you once?

That's right.

Back then,

no matter where we worked,

Hai would be there.

The orchard is so beautiful.

Why isn't he here?

I think you two

just don't want to give me a break.

Work hard.

Stop talking.

Qiaoling.

You are here.

Tomorrow,

Qiaoling Hainan Chicken Rice

will open for business.

I was thinking

if you didn't come,

at night,

I would send an invitation card

to my boss lady.

What boss lady?

Did Kuang Haisheng tell you

to call me that?

I'll teach him a lesson.

Hai didn't teach me

what to call you.

I haven't seen him for several days.

Tomorrow is an important day.

You two must come together.

Hai

didn't come here?

No.

Jiu couldn't find him anywhere.

Oh no.

Could it be that

Wanhe Hall broke its promise

and murdered him?

Jiu said no.

He doesn't think it's Wanhe Hall.

Tianqing.

I feel happy

about what you told me today.

I also want my old friend

to be happy with me.

Do you want to

act in an opera for them?

Listen.

I teach you

in order

to perform for distinguished guests.

Those

poor people

don't deserve it.

Wanhe Hall?

Yes.

Please, Miss Nan Lan.

Call the police

immediately

and ask them to save Hai.

You are so worried.

It seems that Hai

is important in your heart.

Actually, he looks smart,

he's actually a fool.

No.

He's not stupid.

He's a good person.

Being smart is not important.

Kindness

is the most important.

But he has no money.

Compared with Ye Heming,

he's just a poor man.

Miss Nan Lan.

Why did you suddenly compare Hai

with Ye Heming?

That's what I want to ask you.

I've never

compared them.

I used to hate Hai.

But

that was because

I didn't know him well.

After getting familiar with him,

I found that

he has many advantages.

Miss Nan Lan,

now is not the time to talk about this.

Please.

Call the police now.

I'm afraid it'll be too late.

Don't worry.

He's fine.

He just left Xingzhou.

He left Xingzhou?

Why didn't he tell me?

You have to ask yourself.

I know nothing.

Miss Nan Lan.

I will never let Tianqing

be deceived by a rascal like you.

My daughter will never

marry someone like you.

He was forced to leave.

If he doesn't leave,

people of Wanhe Hall

will kill him.

With Hai's personality,

is he afraid of death?

But are there other reasons

if it's not that?

Tianqing.

There are too few men

like Hai.

If you really like him,

you should cherish him.

He didn't tell me

why he left Xingzhou.

But I think

it must have something to do with you.

It's better to make it clear

between you two.

I want to talk to him too.

But I don't know

where he is.

Even if I have something to say,

I don't know where to find him.

I know the address.

You can write to him.

He was sad when he left.

I couldn't stop him.

Tianqing.

I've been waiting for you here.

I want to talk to you.

Xiuhe,

how have you been?

I've been fine.

Everything is great.

I live here with my senior.

I eat well and dress well.

She even taught me skills.

You know what?

In a few days,

I can perform on the stage.

Congratulations.

Although there will be only one guest,

he

is a distinguished guest.

He will come here for me from Penang.

Then do your best.

Wait. Tianqing.

How is

Miss Qi?

She is fine.

I went back to visit her last time.

But I was given the cold shoulder.

Her temperament is weird.

I left her some money.

She didn't tell you, right?

No.

I've repaid her.

I don't owe her anything anymore.

I feel much better now.

By the way,

Miss Qi is my cousin.

Do you know that?

No.

We are cousins.

My mother and her mother

are biological sisters.

So,

I know her secrets.

Her birthday is the first day of Chinese New Year.

Girls born on this day

are tough

and will bring bad luck to others.

So she hasn't married anyone

at this age.

Why are you telling me this?

Here's the thing.

I earn much money now.

On her birthday,

I want to buy her a cake.

Rich people like this.

I'm worried that if I deliver the cake,

it will be awkward.

So many sisters will be watching.

With her temper,

I'll definitely lose face.

Tianqing.

We knew each other long ago

and reunited in Xingzhou.

It's fate.

I'm begging you.

I'll give you money.

On her birthday,

you buy her a cake for me.

But don't mention me.

Okay?

No need.

Miss Qi

is our big sister.

Since I know her birthday,

all of us

will celebrate her birthday.

Thank you, Xiuhe.

Miss Ouyang.

Let me make it clear first.

I'm not following you.

This is just a coincidence.

I want to buy you a cup of coffee.

I'm not used to drinking coffee.

Well.

Anything is fine.

No need.

Just say it here.

Here's the thing.

Yudie is desperate

to meet you.

I wonder if you can...

No.

She didn't say it.

But I could see it.

It is a mother's expectation to meet her daughter.

Miss Ouyang.

You're not that cruel, are you?

Cruel?

She is much crueller than me.

Fine.

I agree to meet her.

Go to Goddess Hotel.

They are here.

Mr. Ye. Ms. Chang.

Please have a seat.

Please.

This is the menu

Tianqing asked me to make.

What do you think?

Very good.

Thank you.

We haven't seen each other for many years.

We can finally eat together again.

Tianqing.

I'm so happy.

Ms. Chang,

why did Hai leave Xingzhou?

What did you tell him?

What did you do to him?

I...

No matter what she said

and did,

it was

for Miss Ouyang's good.

I want you to say it.

I just said

what a mother should say.

I did all that

for my daughter.

I guess I was right.

From what I know about Hai,

no one can threaten him

to leave Xingzhou.

You cried, right?

Hai is very kind.

What you did is not fair to him.

He's a rascal.

I can't just

sit by and watch, Tianqing.

You're my only daughter.

You're my precious.

What do you mean by "precious"?

When you abandoned me,

I was only eight.

You left

without saying goodbye.

You've been away for so many years.

Now you're saying I'm your precious?

I can call you mother.

You gave birth to me.

I'm indebted to you.

Life in the countryside

was miserable.

And our family was the poorest.

I understand

you wanted a better life.

But did it ever occur to you that

what you did

not only hurt my father's feelings,

but also made him

ashamed in the village?

Meeting you in Xingzhou

should have been a good thing.

If I am given more time,

I might forgive you.

But what I didn't expect is...

You can do anything to me.

But you wanted to kill Hai.

What did he do to offend you?

You think he doesn't deserve your daughter?

Have you ever thought about

asking your daughter

what she thinks?

You didn't do it for me.

You did it for yourself.

You did it for your vanity.

Miss Nan Lan

taught me this word.

Today,

I completely understand

the meaning of this word.

Everything you've done to Hai

does greater harm to me.

I'm telling you.

If Hai

will never come back to Xingzhou,

I will never

forgive you.

Tianqing.

Alright, that's it.

I don't want to argue with you.

We agreed to have dinner together.

Miss Ouyang.

They are preparing the dishes.

I only asked Tao

to prepare dishes for you two.

You don't need to pay.

Tao won't accept your money.

I discussed with Tao.

The money for the meal will be deducted from my salary.

Enjoy yourselves.

Tianqing.

Tianqing.

Sir.

Tianqing.

Do you want to write to your father?

You wrote to him last week, right?

No.

I want to write to Hai.

Hai?

Aren't you two dating?

You can talk face to face.

You need to pay me to write a letter.

I know.

Go ahead.

[Siam]

You say something.

What did she say?

She means

you say something.

What should I say?

Mr. Kuang.

You've been in Siam for days.

I introduced this beauty

to you.

But you always pulled a long face

and were unhappy.

She doesn't know

if you like her.

What do you want her to do?

What do you like to eat?

Just tell her.

She will do anything for you.

That's why she said

"you say something".

You say something.

Why do I need someone to serve me?

Miss Nan Lan asked me

to manage the rubber estate here.

Why did you

find a woman for me?

Let her go.

In the past,

I was a hooligan

without a proper job.

I knew nothing.

I've never worked

in a rubber estate.

But I want to learn.

I've never done business before.

I want to learn too.

I can't speak English, French,

or Germany.

I want to learn all of them.

Get me a teacher.

A teacher?

Yes.

If you can't do a good job,

I'll find someone else

to be my assistant.

I want to change thoroughly.

Dear Mr. Harry.

Our big sister, Miss Qi,

wants me to thank you

on behalf of

all of the Red Scarf girls.

No.

I should thank you.

You found more workers,

so that I could

transport all of my fruits.

There are almost no fruits

left rotten in the orchard.

This alone

helped me reduce a lot of losses.

So I sincerely thank

all Red Scarf girls

and ladies.

Miss Tianqing.

Please accept

my sincerest gratitude.

This...

The amount doesn't matter.

It conveys my gratitude.

If you don't accept it,

I'll be worried that when fruits are ripe again,

you won't come.

OK.

Thank you, Mr. Harry.

Count the money again.

It's 200 yuan.

Mr. Harry

gave us too much.

Yes.

Forty girls

need to work five days

to earn 200 yuan.

I know.

Mr. Harry and Tianqing

did the math before.

We needed

15 days

to transport all the fruits.

But with the help of the Blue Scarf,

it took

only ten days.

Mr. Harry gave us

the extra pay of five days.

It's not appropriate.

You have to return it to him.

Miss Qi.

I don't think it's necessary.

Hear me out.

First,

Mr. Harry

really wanted to thank us.

Maybe it's not

the extra pay.

Second,

Mr. Harry said

no fruits were left rotten

in the orchard this year.

That means

he made much more money.

Third,

I think the best way

to thank Mr. Harry

is when his fruits are ripe

next year,

whether the Red Scarf

has work or not,

we should ask some of us

to help him transport fruits.

Tianqing is right.

Miss Qi.

Mr. Harry is so warmhearted.

It's inappropriate

if we return the money.

How about this?

Let's make dim sum from our hometown

for him

to show our gratitude.

That's a good idea.

Well.

We are not busy now.

We can make more

and deliver some to Miss Nan Lan.

We can also

deliver some to the bosses,

subcontractors,

foremen,

and neighbors

who helped us before.

Senior.

I'd better wear a whole set of costume.

You look beautiful in this.

Look.

Look at your waist.

You look like me when I was young.

I envy you.

What you taught me...

Just do it.

It's called a new performer acts in an old opera.

But I can't do it like this.

Why not?

Ten years of practice,

one minute on the stage.

The distinguished guest has arrived.

If you can't handle this,

how are you supposed to be successful?

I'll cheer for you.

Old man.

You are dozing off

at this hour.

Why should I listen to it?

♫Enjoy picturesque scenery on sunny days♫

♫It feels cold as the moon shines on the West Lake♫

♫Stay together with my loved one♫

♫Apply makeup under the lantern♫

Good.

♫We enjoy tea together and show our love♫

♫Amid mist and water, flowers fall♫

♫I miss you when I'm asleep or awake♫

Xiuhe.

Why are you here?

I...

How dare you!

You slept with

the distinguished guest.

You...

You want to be his concubine, right?

What an ambition!

I don't.

You don't?

I lent this room

to him yesterday.

You have

your own room.

Why did you sleep here?

I...

I...

Do you know who he is?

Do you want to blackmail him?

Or do you want something else?

I...

Who told you to do this?

Come.

Follow me to the police station.

Senior.

I didn't.

You didn't?

You...

Xiuhe.

You're in big trouble.

What is going on?

Calm down.

Here.

Xiuhe.

You are the best performer today.

You're better than your senior

when she was young.

Here.

A toast to you.

Xiuhe.

You heard him.

If you don't drink today,

I will be disappointed.

Cheers.

He is very angry.

Who is Xiuhe?

I can't believe

she did that

when he was drunk.

When a woman

desires for something,

she is willing to do anything.

If

his family finds out,

they will definitely sue her.

What should we do then?

But luckily,

he

doesn't hate her.

How about...?

No.

No.

He'll stay in Xingzhou for only a week.

If you make him satisfied,

no one will sue you.

Otherwise,

you're going to jail.

And my reputation

will be ruined.

Xiuhe.

He is a big name.

I can't

help you with this.

There is nothing we can do.

He was satisfied

with your performance yesterday.

He even gave you money.

Just accompany him for a week.

You can make money,

and you don't have to go to jail.

You won't lose anything.

Xiuhe.

I was afraid I couldn't find you.

Here.

This is the dim sum

that Miss Qi asked me to bring you.

You're back.

I'm back.

Tianqing.

Tianqing.

When you go to Goddess Hotel,

give this to Xiuhe.

Tell her.

She can forget

Tofu Village's rules.

If she gets bullied

or feels wronged,

she can come back anytime.

Xiuhe, what's wrong?

You can

tell me.

If you're unhappy here,

come back to Tofu Village with me today.

No.

I'm fine.

Mind your own business.

Leave me alone.

All right.

Anyway, remember what Miss Qi said.

If you feel wronged,

come back anytime.

Our construction site is behind the hotel.

Tell us if you have any difficulties.

Delicious.

Do you really think it's delicious?

Yes.

If you see this kind of dim sum

on the street,

will you buy it?

Yes.

But

Tao might not let me buy it.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking

we don't have work

every day.

If that's the case...

You want to open a dim sum shop for them?

I didn't

have this idea.

But Wang Qiaoling and Jiu

opened a restaurant selling Hainan chicken rice

on the street.

The business is booming.

That's a good idea.

But if you want to open a restaurant,

you need to make the dim sum more exquisite.

By the way,

Xueting is picky.

He liked dim sum when he was young.

He knows

which shop's dim sum

is delicious.

You can ask him.

Good idea.

Try it.

Is it good?

They want to do dim sum business.

What do you think?

Not good enough.

Not good enough?

This is the authentic flavor

from our hometown.

We can only eat it

during Chinese New Year.

Every Sanshui girl

likes it very much.

Is this the only flavor?

Well.

Someone likes sweet food.

Someone likes salty food.

Someone likes crispy food,

but someone likes soft food.

Someone likes salty yolk,

and someone likes minced meat.

I'm afraid it's not gonna work

if you only have one flavor.

But Tianqing's idea

is not bad.

If you want to make dim sum

everyone likes,

you have to taste all of it.

Let's go.

Where?

I'll take you to eat the most delicious dim sum

in Xingzhou.

To learn from its strong points to offset your weakness.

I envy you.

I've never seen anything like this before.

So beautiful.

I'm

greedy for food.

These are

what I think

taste good

and cater to

most Xingzhou people's taste.

Have a taste.

Thank you. Master Xueting.

Here.

Is it good?

Yes.

Here.

Have a taste. Everyone.

Come on.

Have a taste.

It's delicious.

Delicious.

It's delicious.

So sweet.

So soft.

Get me that one.

Thank you.

It's delicious.

Are you really going to give them so much money

to make dim sum?

Yes.

It's not much anyway.

That's a lot.

Mr. Lu.

You can't spend money

like this.

As my assistant,

how much should I pay you a year?

Me?

You've worked

for me for so long,

but we've never talked about salary.

The number I just mentioned

is the annual salary

I plan to offer you.

That's too much.

So I'm not the investor.

You are.

I hope you can

keep it a secret.

You have a strong personality.

You like to show off.

I want you

to get along well with your sisters.

Why are you crying?

I know I have this problem.

But who are you to me?

You're so nice to me.

You tell me.

Can you hear the music?

Yes.

Let's dance together.

Here?

Dance whenever you want.

Any place will do.

Xiaochan.

I have to tell you something first.

Seen from the outside,

you're still my assistant.

I hope

you can keep our relationship between us

in the Lu family.

When I left Xingzhou,

my big brother suddenly disappeared.

We haven't found his body yet.

My sister-in-law

was regarded as the murderer.

Not long ago,

my mom had a heart attack.

Ms. Huang, who accompanied her for decades,

died too.

And Bai Wei,

my niece.

But Xueqiao and his wife

believe that she is a liar.

They refuse to acknowledge her.

It's really strange.

There are so many strange things.

I want to find out the truth.

So at home,

I, Lu Xueting,

must be a playboy.

You have to cooperate with me.

Mr. Lu.

I'll listen to you.

You called me Xueting

behind my back, right?

Who told you that?

I like you calling my name.

Xueting.

You are so nice to me.

[Long]

OK.

No. I'm not looking for him.

Okay, have fun.

Master Xueqiao

is really good at being a playboy.

He has a foreign girlfriend

and has been dealing with foreigners recently.

Foreigners

play all night long.

I don't know

where they will go later.

Let him have fun.

I haven't drunk for a long time.

Why don't you

drink with me all night long?

I'd love to.

Master Xueting.

You scared me.

You are still awake in the middle of the night.

You must be hungry.

The most delicious dim sum in Xingzhou.

[Chengfa Tea House]

Have a taste.

Master Xueting.

That Red Scarf girl...

No.

This must be leftovers

from Miss He Xiaochan,

right?

Lihua.

Are you jealous of Xiaochan?

What did you call me?

Lihua. You don't like it?

Then I'll call you

little sister.

You can call me whatever you want.

How dare I be jealous

of your girlfriend?

I envy her.

What girlfriend?

She's my assistant.

She's from the countryside.

She's pretty.

But she is ignorant.

She is not as romantic as you.

Come on.

I'm going to work in the kitchen.

Master Xueting.

Aren't you afraid that my sister-in-law will see us?

She went out.

She won't come back before dawn.

Really?

Is that usual?

She is a boss lady.

I'm just a servant. I dare not say it.

I've never regarded you

as a servant.

Aren't you the closest

to my sister-in-law?

She's always wary of me.

Why?

Come on.

You know why.

Why did you still ask me?

Of course I know.

Then how dare you throw yourself on me?

Aren't you worried that Master Xueqiao will see us?
