[Sisterhood]

[Episode 30]

Aren't you the closest

to my sister-in-law?

She's the wariest of me.

For what?

Come on.

You know it.

Why did you still ask?

Of course I know.

Then how dared you to fall into my arms?

Aren't you afraid of being caught by Master Xueqiao?

I...

You...

I hate you.

Can you say something else

other than that?

Actually, I knew

my elder brother likes you.

We'll be a family sooner or later.

I wish that would happen in the future.

I have no doubts about Master Xueqiao,

but Jin Biyun...

Ever since Mrs. Lu died,

she's been in control of everything.

Master Xueqiao dares not to say that.

Is the Lu family

under control by a woman?

Even if Master Xueqiao doesn't say anything,

there's still Master Xueting.

Can you help me?

If we cooperate,

I will help you

when the time comes.

The problem lies with Jin Biyun.

Are you sure?

Yes.

I even suspect

my elder brother conspired

with Jin Biyun.

Although Ms. Huang

died in public by hitting herself,

but

she was forced by Jin Biyun.

Everyone in the family can testify.

My mother...

The police concluded that

she died naturally,

so no matter how much I doubt it,

there's nothing I can do.

She did a good job

at these two things.

What made me

start to suspect Jin Biyun

was something happened a while ago...

Xueting.

Mom has been gone for a while.

How about

we separate?

Separate?

Yes.

The Lu family now

is only a paper tiger.

I wonder what my eldest brother did

all these years.

The money and gold

we brought from Shanghai are all gone.

He left nothing for us.

Now we separate,

you can still get some money.

If we don't separate now,

if the suspension of construction work of the building continues,

the Lu family

will be dragged down soon.

Xueqiao, you mean

you want me to negotiate with Nan Lan

to resume construction work as soon as possible?

Not exactly.

It'd be the best

if we can resume construction work,

but we need to get prepared

for the worst.

We are brothers.

If I can't give you any money in the future,

others will say

others will sI'm bullying you

as a big brother.

Xueting,

have a cup of coffee.

Brother, sister-in-law.

I don't want us to separate.

I grew up in this house.

I'm used to living here.

Brother, sister-in-law.

You two

are the only relatives I have

in this world.

I don't want to leave you.

I can give up everything in the future.

Don't care about

what others say behind our back.

We'll always be brothers.

I did

get a little impulsive

after mom passed away

and said something I shouldn't have.

Brother.

Sister-in-law.

Don't be mad at me.

Don't kick me out of this house.

Okay?

I told you.

He's my poor little brother.

We can't split up.

Who said we'll split up?

Weren't you afraid that he would suffer losses?

Right.

I thought too much.

I thought too much.

The reason why I

refused their suggestion

is I don't want to leave home.

I feel that the truth is there.

I have to find out the truth.

Based on what you said,

Lu Xueqiao and Jin Biyun did this

to take over

the Lu family's property entirely?

Does Lihua know anything

about your eldest brother's disappearance?

She doesn't know anything,

but

she has promised me

to keep an eye on Jin Biyun for me.

She'll tell me

if she gets any clues.

Xueting,

it must be hard for you.

If you don't feel happy

about living at home,

move to the Goddess Hotel.

Mom has passed away.

You have to take care of yourself.

Westerners only celebrate International New Year.

Not many people here in Xinzhou

celebrate Chinese New Year.

I'd like to change it this year.

On Chinese New Year's Eve,

we're going to hold a big party.

I'll invite you over.

Sister-in-law,

sorry I can't come.

I've invested with the Red Scarf

and opened a dessert shop in Chinatown.

The business must be busy

on Chinese New Year's Eve.

I'm afraid I won't be free.

What did you say?

Did you open a dessert shop

in Chinatown?

Xueting,

I'm impressed.

[Chinese New Year's Eve]

It's so beautiful.

It's so pretty.

Check this out. It's delicious.

Thank you.

It's delicious.

Here, try it.

It's delicious.

Take it.

What do you want?

Thank you.

Take care.

Let's check inside.

Please.

Please come in to our dessert shop. It's delicious.

Try one.

It's delicious.

Our shop

has all kinds of

sweet and salty food.

Enjoy your shopping.

Hello.

Hello.

Please.

Please come in.

-It's delicious. -Try it.

It's so delicious.

These are all for tasting.

Tianqing.

You were amazing.

What did you say to them?

Right.

I said

what Miss Nan Lan taught me.

"Hello" is a way of greeting people.

"Please" is used as a way to invite someone to do something politely.

You can have a try.

Hello.

-Please. -Please come in.

Even if it doesn't work,

people can at least

try our desserts.

Okay, let's try it.

Try it.

Hello.

Please.

Tianqing, I didn't remember that.

Please.

Please.

Ladies, have a taste.

It's delicious.

Is it Sanshui's dessert?

Let me try if it tastes good.

What?

Can't a customer try your food?

Although it's not entirely

Sanshui's taste,

but it suits Xingzhou better.

The customers here are from everywhere.

If you want your business to be successful,

you can't only think of people form Sanshui.

Am I right?

I'll buy more.

You don't have to thank me,

but at least

you should greet me.

After all,

it's Chinese New Year's Eve.

Happy Chinese New Year.

Happy Chinese New Year to you too.

Take the red packet.

It's for good luck.

It's delicious. Try it.

Let me try.

It tastes good.

Take care.

Yudie.

You're here.

Happy Chinese New Year.

Thanks.

You've always had a sweet mouth since you were little.

There you go.

Well...

Come on.

I'll take one kilogram

of each of these desserts.

You want this much?

Can you finish them?

This is the flavour of my hometown.

I'll take it back

and share it with my people in the gang.

Can't I?

Don't forget

which street

you're doing business on.

Happy Chinese New Year!

Great.

The business has been good

for the past seven days,

especially today.

Yes.

I was afraid that I made too many desserts.

I didn't expect it to be so popular.

In this case,

we can make more

when it's holiday time in the future.

No wonder

Tianqing is smart.

She's invested the 200 bucks

Mr. Harry gave us

with Mr. Lu

to open

our Red Scarf's own dessert shop.

If my parents

know this in Sanshui,

they'll also be happy.

That's right.

That way, we'll have another source of income.

Although selling desserts can make money,

but it doesn't earn much.

We have to pay for the rent.

The rest

is not enough

to pay every sister.

I'm thinking

whether we can

form a special group

to do this business,

so that

we can make money.

This is business.

Let's pick some people.

Zhen.

She's the best at making desserts.

Count her in.

And Xi.

She's short and weak.

She can't work at a construction site.

And Cui.

She is skilful and good at making desserts.

She's beautiful

She can attract more customers.

Well,

count in

the two oldest sisters

of us.

That way, we'll have enough manpower.

The rest money

after deducting their pays

will belong to all the other sisters.

Great.

In that case,

we need to add more people

when it's holiday time,

then they will

be more willing to

make desserts.

Right.

Unfortunately,

the weather is not good lately.

It's said

it's going to rain for a few days.

Otherwise,

we can make a lot of money

by selling desserts

during the Spring Festival.

Why do you only focus on money?

If the weather is good,

we‘ll be busy selling desserts

and making money.

You're not getting married?

Right. Ling!

I...

Isn't your wedding

on the second day of the lunar year?

I forgot.

How could you forget such a big thing?

Ling.

I think you did it on purpose.

Are you trying to avoid treating guests?

No.

Mr. Lu said

it's going to rain

for three days in a row.

There'll be no one on the street.

We can't sell them even if we make desserts.

Sisters, let's have a good rest then

and celebrate

Ling's wedding.

Alright.

It's a deal.

Go back to sleep.

I'm not sleepy at all.

Isn't it said that

people should have fun on Chinese New Year's Eve?

Go back and have fun in your room if you want.

I haven't had time

to read the letter from home.

Go.

Go have fun yourself.

Delicious.

Every one tastes delicious.

I've asked around.

They've invested the money

their boss at the orchard

gave them

with Mr. Lu to open the shop.

It was Tianqing's idea.

I'm not bragging.

My daughter

is really a genius.

Xueqiao.

Xueqiao.

It's Chinese New Year's Eve.

Are you still going out?

Didn't we have Chinese New Year's Eve dinner?

But Zhanyuan

wants you to tell him stories.

Coaxing kids

is what women should do.

I can't do it.

Where are you going?

You're so annoying.

I just want to know

what kind of person

my husband usually spends time with.

I'll just play mahjong

with some friends.

Mr. Cai,

Peter Zhang,

and Long.

Long?

Who is he?

Lin Longqing from the Dragon King Gang.

They're just friends.

Go. Have fun.

Madam, are you going out?

I'm going to meet an old friend.

I'll go out

and get you a rickshaw.

No need.

I can do it myself.

Zhanyuan just fell asleep.

Take care of him.

Follow that rickshaw ahead.

No problem.

Xuelin,

it's the first time

we've celebrated Chinese New Year's Eve together.

Are you happy?

We could have

spent time together

every day,

but you lied to me.

You told me to wait for you

and not to get married,

but you married Nan Lan

and left me to your brother.

If Xueqiao

knows this,

will he hate you?

I know.

You had your reasons

to marry Nan Lan.

It was for your development in Xingzhou.

But you couldn't lie to me.

I didn't.

You still don't admit it?

You Lu family brought

many yellow fishes from Shanghai.

Besides,

your mom's jewellery

was worth a lot.

Did you have to

sell yourself?

What?

You think I'm being harsh?

Biyun,

for the sake of our love

in the past,

you...

Please let me go.

I'll pretend nothing happened.

Okay?

Do you think I was born yesterday?

Do you think I would believe everything you say?

It's too late.

You're dead.

Nan Lan killed you.

She cooked you in a soup.

That's why they couldn't find your body.

You're punished

because you lied to women,

not only me.

Your daughter came from Shanghai

to look for you.

Her mother died too.

She wouldn't forgive you even before she died.

My daughter.

Daughter.

Bai Wei.

I've locked you up for so many years,

but you still remember

your daughter's name?

No wonder.

No wonder

you refused to elope with me

back then.

So in your heart,

Nan Lan is more important than me.

Your mother is more important than me.

Your mistress in Shanghai

is more important than me.

Bai Wei is also more important than me.

Who am I to you?

I...

I swore long ago

that I would take revenge on you with my whole life.

You can't leave here alive.

Be my pet.

I'm free now.

I can accompany you anytime.

Open your mouth.

Leave me alone.

Go.

Serve the guests.

You drank too fast today.

You're not young anymore.

Don't drink too much.

Don't scold me.

There're so many people

celebrating Chinese New Year's Eve with us.

I'm happy.

I'm glad you're happy.

Go to sleep.

Leave me alone.

Go serve the guests. Leave me alone.

Who is it?

One of your admirers.

You stole my gun.

There shouldn't be a gun

in a room of a woman like you.

It might harm you.

Besides,

I didn't bring any weapons.

That's what

my mother left me.

Give it back to me!

That gun is old and broken.

I won't need it.

I'll return it to you when I leave.

Now,

get out of my room now.

There's been a lot of waves lately.

I didn't feel uncomfortable

on the sea alone.

I'm here

to celebrate the Spring Festival with you.

The Spring Festival should have a festival atmosphere.

You need family company.

You are not my family.

Even if I'm not your family,

I'm one of your friends.

It's better

than being alone.

I have many friends.

We're having a ball downstairs.

The Governor and Sergeant

are all downstairs.

They are just ordinary friends.

Which one of them

is connected with you by a life-or-death experience?

On this point,

I'm different from then.

You...

You're not that old.

You're not old enough to nag.

Look, there's good wine.

Let's celebrate.

We met again after a long time.

Aren't you afraid I'll get you drunk

and hand you over to the police?

You?

No way.

If you

just want to be friends with me,

I can treat you to a drink.

On this point,

you're quite different from what they said.

It's said the boss of the Goddess Hotel,

Miss Nan Lan,

enjoys dating

and has many men.

I'm afraid I'll let you down.

It seems that

what they said only exists in their words.

Didn't your husband

pass away a long time ago?

Marry me.

Pirate.

Haven't you seen a woman before?

It's dangerous to come here.

I know it's dangerous,

but since the first time

I saw you,

you've become

the only woman that I love.

Fine.

As your friend,

I'm very happy

to spend the most important

Chinese festival with you.

Happy Spring Festival.

Xiaochan.

I didn’t expect you to come back.

I sneaked in

when they were asleep.

No one noticed me.

Miss Qi said that

you can come back anytime.

It's Chinese New Year's Eve.

You can't leave.

Tomorrow morning,

greet Miss Qi

and come back to live here in the future.

No.

I'm living in the best guest room

at the Lu's house.

It feels so great

to have my own bed.

I've got someone to cook for me

and to clean room for me.

Why would I give up a good life like that

and come back?

Since you're living a good life,

why did you come back?

Are you angry?

It's Chinese New Year's Eve.

Do you remember

we spent every Chinese New Year's Eve together

when we were in our hometown?

We stayed up all night

until the sun rose,

then we went back to sleep.

I knew

you must be here,

so I came to accompany you.

I'm glad you have a conscience.

Actually,

Yudie has a conscience too.

She just bought some desserts.

I didn't need her to buy them.

I could have sold them all.

No.

Our shop is in Chinatown.

It's not a safe place.

Whoever does business there

needs to pay commissions

and security fees,

but no one

dares to make trouble for us.

Do you know why?

That place

is under the control of the Wanhe Hall.

I'll discuss with Mr. Lu

tomorrow.

We're going to move to somewhere else.

Why?

I don't need her protection.

Well, Tianqing.

Think about it.

Xueting owns 50%

of the business.

The Red Scarf

owns the rest 50%.

How much

do you own?

You can't move

only because you don't want

to be protected by Yudie.

That'll be too selfish.

It's not appropriate.

Actually, Ye Heming

is a quite nice person.

We could find

such a good shop

all because of him.

Did you beg Ye Heming

behind my back?

Not me. It's Xueting.

Xueting and Ye Heming

are good friends now.

Xueting said Ye Heming

lost his mother when he was young.

He fled everywhere.

Life has not been easy for him.

Xueting also said

he doesn't look like

a gangster at all.

He's a good man.

You don't want to talk about Ye Heming?

Well,

let's

talk about Hai.

Did he write to you?

No.

No?

Xueting said

men and women are different.

Once a woman falls in love with a man,

she will never forget him,

but a man will only remember a woman

if he can't get her.

Have you

already given yourself to him,

so that he ran away?

My bad. My bad.

I won't say it. Please forgive me.

Tianqing.

Well,

sing a song for me.

You used to sing when we stayed up for Chinese New Year's Eve.

No, everyone is sleeping.

You can sing softly.

I want to hear it.

♫Looking at the sunset with orange light and your face♫

♫The ripples of the waves sway. Tomorrow or a far place♫

♫The blue dream falls into my hands. The wind blows me dizzy♫

♫How long is this summer? My mind is shaking♫

♫Lights on the coast suddenly turn dark. Your silhouette is like a guide♫

♫Tides are uncertain. Get strong after weakness♫

Tianqing.

Come here.

♫A crack slips through the heart. I'm growing strong♫

Okay.

Thank you, Tianqing.

You're welcome.

It's too stuffy.

Why isn't it raining yet?

Yeah.

In our countryside,

♫The sea keeps waving. The singing lingers♫

it's already freezing cold

during the Spring Festival.

Look at this place.

It's the stuffiest day

after I came to Xingzhou.

Happy Chinese New Year, everyone.

Happy Chinese New Year, Miss Qi.

Happy Chinese New Year.

Miss Qi.

Sisters.

Gather around.

Miss Qi is here.

It's Chinese New Year.

Miss Qi.

Say something.

Right.

I won't say anything this year.

Here, Ling.

Ling'll speak on behalf of me.

No, I can't

Tianqing.

Tianqing, say something on behalf of me.

I can't say it.

You do it.

Please wait. We have some guests.

Guests?

Who are they?

Are we late?

Xiaochan.

Xiaochan.

Third Young Master, you are a distinguished guest.

Happy Chinese New Year. Welcome.

Miss Qi.

You only greeted Third Young Master

but ignored me.

Are you still mad at me?

To me,

you're just a kid.

I've never been mad at you.

That's great.

What is this?

Miss Qi.

Happy birthday.

Birthday?

Birthday?

It's the first day of Chinese New Year.

Today is Miss Qi's birthday.

Xiaochan, you must have said something wrong.

It’s Chinese New Year.

You should say Happy Chinese New Year.

What do you know?

Miss Qi.

I asked Xiaochan

to bring you a birthday cake.

I heard today is your birthday.

Am I mistaken?

I've heard of birthday cakes

but never seen one.

It must cost a lot.

I...

Miss Qi.

Is today really your birthday?

Yes.

I was born at the beginning of the year.

It was the first day of Chinese New Year,

so I've never celebrated my birthday

since I was a kid.

Let's celebrate

Miss Qi's birthday together,

okay?

Great.

Miss Qi,

now we'll sing the birthday song for you.

You need to close your eyes

and make a wish.

With everyone's blessing,

your wish will come true.

It works.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday to you.

One more time.

Happy birthday to you.

Happy birthday.

Miss Qi, blow out the candles.

Thank you.

Now I've come to Xingzhou.

I even celebrated my birthday in a foreign way.

It's worth it.

It's worth it.

Mr. Lu,

can I say

what wish I made just now?

Of course.

My wish

is

everyone can be safe

and get better day by day,

year by year.

As long as we are still

Red Scarfs,

we'll bring honour

to hometown Sanshui.

-Great. -Great.

If someone takes off the red scarf,

they'll always remember

our friendship.

Because our friendship

will last forever.

If

anyone

succeeds in Xingzhou,

makes a fortune, starts a business

or becomes a boss,

don't forget to help others

who also come from Sanshui later.

Let's pass this friendship

from generation to generation.

I've decided.

I'm going to leave Xingzhou and going back to my hometown.

Why?

Miss Qi.

I got a letter from home

yesterday.

My parents

asked someone to write it to me.

Luckily,

I was educated for a few years so that I could read it.

I would have embarrassed myself

if I had went out

and asked someone to read it for me.

I know

some of you talked about

why my name is Qi, right?

That's because

I have six sisters.

My parents don't have sons.

The money I earned these years

basically

have all been transferred

to these six sisters.

We agreed

to take turns

to take care of our parents,

but it's said in the letter yesterday

that since last year,

no one has taken care of my parents.

My six sisters

are busy

helping their sons

get married

and looking after their grandsons or granddaughters.

They're too busy

to take care of the two old people,

and I'm the only one

who hasn't got married.

My second eldest sister wants me

to go back and take care of them.

When I left Sanshui,

I swore

I would never

go back.

All these years,

my six sisters

never

got less money from me,

so I didn't expect that in the end...

But what's the point of getting angry?

Right?

If I don't go back

to repay my parents for raising me,

it'll be my fault.

So tomorrow,

after Ling's wedding,

I'll buy a ferry ticket

to Sanshui.

Miss Qi,

who will lead us to work in the future?

I was just about to talk about it.

Tianqing.

From now on,

Ouyang Tianqing

will be the big sister of the Red Scarf.

Come here.

Tianqing.

Tianqing, don't be modest.

Ling and Gui admire you.

To be honest,

if Ouyang Tianqing wasn't here,

I wouldn't leave Xingzhou without any concerns,

but now

I'm rest assured.

You're better than me.

Our Red Scarf

will have a brighter future

under the leadership of Ouyang Tianqing.

Great.

-Great. -Great.

It's Chinese New Year. Don't cry.

Don't cry.

I want to make a suggestion.

Our Red Scarf

has a new big sister now.

Let's applaud together.

Great.

Great.

I'm so touched today.

Miss QI.

I brought a camera.

Let me take a photo for everyone.

I suggest

all of you

put on

your red scarfs.

Okay.

Xiaochan.

Your red scarf is in my room.

I'll put it on for you.

Thank you, Miss QI.

See if I'm wearing it right.

Yes, it looks good.

Okay.

Now listen to me.

Everyone

needs to look at my machine here.

If you don't look at it,

I won't be able to catch you in the picture.

Smile, everybody.

Listen.

I'll say one, two.

You say

Red Scarf.

Red Scarf.

Did I make myself clear?

Okay, no problem. Ready.

One.

Two.

Red Scarf.

It's raining.

[Tofu Village]

This cake is so delicious.

So sweet.

Tianqing.

How do you know

my birthday is the first day of Chinese New Year?

I didn't tell anyone.

Even Ling didn't know about it.

Right.

Xiuhe told me.

She was going to

buy you a cake.

I didn't expect that she would still care about me.

Xiuhe.

Sister.

Why don't you bring an umbrella?

I have something to tell you.

Let's go to my room.

Let's go.

I saw Xiuhe

vomit

at breakfast.

She must be pregnant.

Really?

Xiuhe

is

really something.

Master said

if she gives birth to a boy,

he can get some money in the future.

If I, Tan Yuqing, have a son,

I can count on him

when I'm old.

I'm only worried that Xiuhe won't listen to me.

See?

She just ran out in the rain.

It's okay.

Women are all like this.

When something bad happens,

they'll be upset for a few days.

She's poor.

At worst,

give her more money.

It'll not be a problem

if it can be solved by money.

Xiuhe, wait.

Xiuhe.

We bought a cake for Miss Qi.

Stay and eat with us.

Xiuhe.

Take the umbrella.

No matter what happens,

you can't

ruin your health.

I heard from my cousin

you're the new big sister.

I've taken off my red scarf.

You don't have to take me as your sister.

You used to treat me well

when we worked

at the construction site.

Now we've come to Xingzhou,

how can I deny the past?

Let alone you used to be a Red Scarf,

even if you weren't a Red Scarf,

as long as you come from Sanshui,

I'll take you as my sister

at the Tofu Village.

Miss Qi

made me the big sister.

It's my duty

to help

other sisters.

If I can't do that,

I can be replaced anytime.

Xiuhe, take the umbrella.

Come home whenever you need anything.

We'll always be here.

What?

Xiuhe was cheated

and got pregant?

I asked her to go back home with me

but she dares not.

She's afraid that her man will abandon her.

I told her to see a doctor

and do the abortion,

but she also refused.

This is ridiculous.

I know Tan Yuqing.

Let's stand up for Xiuhe

and get even with her.

No.

Everyone will know

Xiuhe's scandal

if you make a scene.

She'll be even more ashamed to live.

Well,

what's Xiuhe's plan?

Someone promised her a lot of money

ss long as she gives birth

to the baby.

Well...

Isn't it selling herself?

How could she agree?

Even if she agreed,

she was only afraid of being poor again,

but I think

she would regret it.

Tianqing,

I told you this

because I hope

if one day

Xiuhe is desperate,

and comes back to the Tofu Village,

please help her.

Over the years I've been here,

I've helped hundreds of sisters from Sanshui.

Xiuhe is the only relative

I brought here,

but I didn't expect

she would end up like this.

If Xiuhe doesn't
