[Sisterhood]

[Episode 31]

Happy New Year, Mr. Harry.

I didn't expect that

you would come here.

Why don't you go inside

and have a cup of tea?

No.

Miss Tianqing,

I have something to tell you.

Mr. Harry's villa

is in the orchard.

The water is everywhere now.

He can't go home.

That's why he is here to ask us for help.

Why didn't he build the villa

at a higher place?

It's better to build a villa on the hill.

He said he liked the orchard.

He likes to

see fruits growing ripe

when he opens the windows.

But...

I'm sure

he didn't hire

a professional designer

and he didn't do the drainage design well.

Mr. Harry

is nice to us.

Now he needs our help.

We must help him.

Miss Qi, you're right.

I'm going to

gather the girls now.

Ling, you can't go.

Today is your big day.

Just let Tianqing and Gui

take girls

to help Mr. Harry.

What big day?

The wedding won't start

until the evening.

It's still early.

I'll gather the girls.

We can finish the work sooner with more people.

I'll go.

I'll go too.

To renovate the house?

Why didn't you do it earlier?

Isn't it better if you get married

after renovating it?

Mr. Noodles

owed a lot of debts.

He was just out of debt recently.

He doesn't have money.

If he wants to renovate it,

he has to wait till I marry him.

Ling.

Since you have money

and you want to spend the rest of your life with Mr. Noodles,

what's the difference

if you marry him or not?

You can just

use your money

to buy some good wood and new bricks and tiles.

When we are free,

we'll help you renovate the house.

Mr. Noodles has dignity.

He promised Ling long ago.

He won't offer the bride price,

and Ling shouldn't give him money.

When

Ling told me about this,

I thought it was good.

But now I'm a little scared.

They say

it's going to rain for days.

His house is shabby.

What if it collapses?

Good luck comes. Say it again in a nice way.

God will bless the good.

Bad things

will never happen

to you two.

But

after you get married,

you should renovate the house

immediately.

It's important.

Don't delay it.

Mr. Noodles.

Miss Qi.

You're here.

I haven't cleaned up yet.

An important guest from Ling's family

is already here.

Mr. Noodles.

No offense.

It's your wedding day.

Why didn't you find

someone to help?

It's Chinese New Year.

I don't want to bother others.

Besides,

someone will come to help.

Mr. Zhao, who makes pot-stewed meat,

promised to make a lot of pot-stewed meat.

He'll bring it here later.

Today,

you Red Scarf girls

can have a good meal.

And Laifu, Laicai,

Degui, Guisheng, and Guiming

all gave me money to celebrate my wedding.

They'll be here for the wedding later.

Mr. Noodles.

It's raining heavily.

I'm really worried.

Do you think

we should think of a way

to reinforce

your shabby house?

Don't worry.

Only that place has the problem of the leakage of rain.

My house may look shabby,

but I've lived here for 20 years.

It's solid.

Well...

It's fine.

Miss Qi.

Have a seat.

I'll get you some wedding candies.

Here. Miss Qi.

Okay.

Big sister.

It's raining.

We didn't tell them in advance.

Is it appropriate?

Nothing is inappropriate.

I'll leave Xingzhou soon.

No matter what,

I have to meet Qi.

I haven't owed anyone anything these years.

I just feel guilty for Qi.

No one is home.

I remember.

Today is the second day of the lunar new year.

Today seems to be Ling's wedding day.

She's going to marry Mr. Noodles.

Did everyone go there?

It's so early.

What kind of rule is this?

Help.

-Help. -Gosh!

Hurry!

Help.

It's Qi.

-Help her out! -It's Miss Qi.

Help.

Qi.

Don't worry.

I'm here to save you.

Qi.

Qi.

Qi. I'm here to save you.

Hurry.

Hang in there.

Qi.

Qi.

Hang in there.

Jinzhi.

The god of destiny makes fools of the people.

We had been enemies for so many years.

The Red Scarf and the Blue Scarf

were against each other.

I didn't expect that

it was you who saved me.

That day, I came

to say goodbye.

Why?

Are you going to leave Xingzhou?

During Chinese New Year,

a letter came from home.

My three children

miss me so much.

I'd better go back.

Besides, my eldest child

is old enough to work.

But he doesn't want to come to Xingzhou.

He wants to join the army

to serve our country.

This is a good thing, Jinzhi.

It means you educated him well.

Educate?

I'm not a teacher.

You were being exaggerated.

This is embarrassing,

considering most of the Blue Scarf girls

are illiterate.

We are not like you.

You went to school.

You're knowledgeable.

Don't praise me.

I'm going back to my hometown too.

You're not married.

You're an old lady.

Why do you want to go back?

Since we both will leave,

let's buy tickets of the same ship.

We came here on the same ship.

We'll go back on the same ship.

We can talk on the way home.

I have another request.

Go ahead.

If I leave,

the Blue Scarf

will have no backbone.

I want to ask Tianqing

to take care of them.

If the Red Scarf

can't finish your work,

please ask

the Blue Scarf girls to do it,

OK?

Tianqing.

We're all sisters

coming here to make a living.

Let's work together in the future.

We'll stick together too

even if we have no work to do.

We're family.

Tianqing.

I'm relieved to hear that.

[Sepoy Lines Hospital, Xingzhou]

Mr. Noodles.

How are you feeling? Does it still hurt?

Ling.

From now on,

don't come to the hospital again.

I don't need you.

What do you mean?

I'm disabled now.

I'll be a burden to you.

When you were pursuing me,

I told you this.

I am a widow. I'm unlucky.

I told you to stay away from me.

But you didn't listen to me.

You came to please me every day.

You had pursued me for several years.

Everyone on Tofu Street

knows about it.

But look what you said just now.

Do you want to embarrass me?

I...

Why would I want to embarrass you?

If you marry a young and strong man

who has the ability to work,

your life will be easier

in the future, right?

You are disabled

before I slept with you.

Everyone is saying

that I brought bad luck to you.

Tell me.

Who dares to marry me in the future?

If you abandon me,

I will be alone

for the rest of my life.

Fine.

You're so cruel.

I

won't see you again.

Ling.

Be careful.

Look at you.

Does it hurt?

Lay back.

Ling.

Don't be angry.

I...

I have no choice.

Our wedding day

was the second day of Chinese New Year.

It's been five days.

I'm already your wife.

But you just called me sister.

Are you stupid?

I... I forgot.

But I...

This...

Our life won't be easy.

As long as you treat me well,

no matter how hard our life is, it will be sweet.

You really don't care about my disability?

Ling.

You are no longer a Red Scarf member?

We take turns to work.

I'm off today.

So I came to help.

Wish you a good business.

Thank you.

Come again.

Sisters.

Ling, morning.

Good morning, sisters.

If you want to eat something else for dinner,

come and eat noodles.

Red Scarf members

can enjoy 50% off.

50% off?

If you do business like this,

you won't make profits.

I won't.

As long as you support me,

I can continue my business.

You are lucky

to marry Ling.

Don't worry.

Ling is popular.

As long as we're here,

you can

continue your business.

Good.

Let's go.

Be careful.

Are all Red Scarf girls

as pretty as you?

Why aren't you wearing it?

I used to wear it too.

I don't need to go to the construction site now,

so I'm not wearing it.

You got a new job, right?

That's great.

You.

You are beautiful.

Why are you doing heavy work?

Look at her.

I agreed

to see you

for Mr. Harry's sake.

I've never hired

female workers at my construction site.

I'm afraid of causing trouble.

If a bunch of women

are at the construction site,

those male workers

can't focus on their work.

Sir.

It's okay if you don't use female workers.

But you don't have to say such harsh words.

Thank you for your time.

Xiaochan, let's go.

Hello. Mr. Ye.

Why did you say hello to him?

It's rude if you don't say hello

when you meet someone you know.

I...

Miss Ouyang.

Let's have a cup of coffee.

I want to collaborate with you.

The places I just mentioned

are newly opened.

They didn't do decent businesses

in the past.

Those who used to work there

are not suitable now.

So,

I need a lot of female workers.

I know

you and your sisters

are looking for jobs everywhere.

Why don't we collaborate?

It's a win-win situation.

The Red Scarf and the Blue Scarf

used to work at construction sites.

We used our strength to make money.

I don't think we are

capable of doing what you said.

Well.

Miss Xiaochan

is doing a good job

in your dim sum shop in Chinatown.

I've been there many times.

But not every

Red Scarf girl

is like Xiaochan.

Few of us have the gift of gab.

It's not something

that everyone can easily learn.

And Blue Scarf girls

made it clear that

they only want to work at construction sites

or

transport things.

I have to be responsible for everyone,

not someone.

I hope you can understand.

Thank you.

Tianqing.

I told you

about the shop in Chinatown.

Since he is here,

you should thank him.

I heard that you helped

with the dim sum shop.

Thank you.

It was nothing.

Just a piece of cake.

But

this is really a great opportunity.

Miss Ouyang,

think about it.

When Wanhe Hall's new shops

recruit enough workers,

you won't have a chance even if you want.

I know that very well.

[Ghostwriting]

Listen to me.

This is a good opportunity.

Don't give up

for your own reasons.

I didn't reject him

for my own reasons.

Ye Heming meant well.

I can feel it.

But I was considering

the interests of most sisters.

The government has issued an order

to stop men from coming here.

But Xingzhou still has

many buildings to be built.

What they need most in the future is female workers.

If we give up now,

it will be too late to regret

when construction sites hire other workers.

Even if you can

work at construction sites every day,

what you do is heavy work.

The opportunity given by Wanhe Hall

allows the girls

to dress very nicely.

And you will have a chance

to know more local people.

It's better if you have a rich husband.

Not everyone is like you,

who always want to find a rich husband.

Of course, I'm not

being absolute.

But what's more needed for most sisters

is stable work.

I don't believe it.

Tianqing was right.

Many sisters

just want to stay here for three years.

They'll go back after making money.

Their family members are not worried,

knowing that they work

at construction sites.

But if they know

their job is to

serve guests,

they'll be worried.

Feudal.

Feudal.

Xueting

taught me this word.

I don't believe

no sisters are like me.

There is.

Hui wants to work in the dim sum shop.

She doesn't want to go to the construction site,

because she's afraid that she won't have a chance to date someone.

I knew it.

But Cui is different.

Tianqing thinks

Cui is weak.

She let Cui work in the dim sum shop.

But Cui

didn't want to.

Why?

Cui is the most capable

in the dim sum shop.

Many customers

bought dim sum

because they saw her.

That's true.

But men stared at her every day.

Some people even praised her for her beauty.

Cui

was worried that Meihua's brother

would be angry if he knew.

She was afraid that

she couldn't be Meihua's sister-in-law.

[To Lin Meihua To Huang Cuishan]

Whose letter

should I read first?

Read her letter first.

Look how anxious she is.

Cui and Meihua's brother

haven't married yet.

But she sent money to Meihua's family

every month.

It's her loss.

If I knew

he is such a petty man,

I would have told her

she couldn't marry a man like him.

Tianqing.

Xiaochan.

Qiaoling.

Qiaoling, why are you here?

You're not busy today?

I'm busy.

That's why I'm here.

Tianqing.

Can you ask two sisters

to help me?

Hainan Chicken Rice

has a lot of customers.

I can barely handle it.

Someone always ordered chicken rice for lunch.

He let us deliver chicken rice to him.

Jiu alone could handle it

in the beginning.

But now,

he couldn't really handle it.

Congratulations, Qiaoling.

Good news.

Who should go?

How about

choosing two girls from the Blue Scarf?

Ling.

Will there be a problem

if I do this?

Only 15 sisters

have work to do every day.

Normally...

Tianqing.

You're the big sister.

You make decisions on important things.

In my opinion,

we have a dim sum shop at least.

But the Blue Scarf girls don't have one.

This month,

they barely had

work to do.

I don't think they can hold on any longer.

If Qiaoling

can hire two of them,

it will be a comfort

to them at least.

Ling, what do you think?

I think it's a good idea.

Tianqing.

You're always impartial.

We all admire you.

Xue Jinzhi

asked you to take care of the Blue Scarf.

You should take care of them.

I'm relieved

to hear this.

Let's choose two girls tonight.

Sure.

You are the boss lady.

What boss lady?

Your boss is Kuang Haisheng.

I haven't heard from him for months.

Don't make fun of me with him anymore.

Cui, don't cry.

We go back to Sanshui now

to deal with

my heartless brother.

Cui!

Cui!

Cui, wait for me!

What happened?

Cui!

Cui!

Cui!

Cui, what are you doing?

I want to leave.

Okay, let's go back together.

Let's go back to Sanshui together.

I'll

deal with my brother.

I won't go back to Sanshui.

Your brother is married.

I don't know how to face my parents.

Then where are you going?

I don't know.

But I have to leave here.

I'm too ashamed

to face anyone here.

You don't have to do this.

My brother is a fool.

I'll write a letter and scold him.

I'll ask him to think straight

and to come to Xingzhou to see you.

What's the point?

He married someone,

with the money I gave him.

What's the point of asking him

to come to Xingzhou?

Do you want me to be his concubine?

Liar.

He's a liar.

At first, he said

he wanted to pay off

the money he borrowed to build the house.

Then he said

male workers are not allowed to come to Xingzhou.

Don't you understand?

He never wanted to come.

He never wanted to marry me.

Cui, don't go.

-Meihua, don't stop me! -Cui, you can't go.

-I can't live here anymore. -Cui!

Cui!

You can't leave.

Xingzhou is not safe.

Where can you go on your own?

You don't know anyone.

How are you going to live if you leave Tofu Village?

I can go anywhere.

As long as no one knows me.

My brother betrayed you.

You are my best friend.

How can I leave you alone?

How dare you say that now?

All the girls in Tofu Village

know that

I'm supposed to marry your brother.

Now you are asking me to stay here.

You just want everyone

to laugh at

and look down upon me.

I don't want this.

Meihua.

If you really treat me as your sister,

let me go.

No, no.

No matter what you say today,

I won't let you go.

Let go of me!

I won't let you go.

You just want to embarrass me,

make me ashamed,

and force me to die, right?

Fine, I'll kill myself.

Cui!

Cui!

Cui!

Cui!

Cui!

Are you okay?

How are you?

Are you okay, Cui?

Why did you do that?

Cui.

Why did you do that?

Come on.

Get up.

Cui!

Cui! Cui!

Cui, are you okay?

Why didn't you

let me die?

Stop saying that.

Cui.

No matter what happened,

you must be tough and stay alive.

Luckily, we have a piece of red cloth here.

I thought

everyone's red scarf is worn.

I wanted to make a new one for everyone.

I didn't expect that it saved you.

Stay.

Look.

Everyone here

is your family.

No one will laugh at you.

Right?

Yes.

No one will laugh at you.

I don't want to die either.

But I really can't

stay here.

I don't know how to face Meihua.

I don't know how to face everyone.

Tianqing.

I'm begging you.

Please let me go.

I'll feel embarrassed and ashamed

if I stay in Tofu Village.

I really don't know

how I'm supposed to live.

There was never

a woman called Cui

coming here.

Just forget me.

Cui!

Don't go!

Cui! Cui!

Cui!

-Cui! -Cui!

Stop chasing.

Let her go.

My brother betrayed you.

I'll set fire to his house after I go back.

Don't mention your brother anymore.

If you keep mentioning him, she'll be more upset.

Rebuilding my ancestral house

is nothing important.

So I didn't invite

other people here.

I just invited

several friends from the architecture industry

to come and have a look,

so that you can give me some advice.

It's such a beautiful building.

We don't have

any advice to offer you.

Mr. Eiffel,

you have to offer advice.

I should be responsible

for my friend.

Don't be afraid of

offending these girls.

To be honest,

when I decided to rebuild the house,

I made

a very risky decision.

I entrusted the project

to a Red Scarf girl

named Ouyang Tianqing.

Good.

At that time,

she just came to Xingzhou.

She was unfamiliar with everything here.

Although this project

was small,

it was still a challenge

to her.

Thanks to her sisters,

she managed to complete the project.

Although they

are girls,

they are as good as men

when working at the construction site.

As for the quality

of this project

and where should be improved,

guys,

I'm counting on you.

Tianqing.

Miss Nan Lan.

You show them around.

These are all experts.

If you don't explain carefully,

I'll think you are afraid of

them finding your faults.

Don't worry, Miss Nan Lan.

It's an honor that

so many bosses from the architecture industry

came here today.

If you have any advice,

please feel free to tell me.

We'll immediately make rectifications,

without pay.

After Miss Nan Lan moves in,

if there is any problem,

we can repair it anytime,

without pay.

Sorry.

Bosses.

Please.

Okay.

Please.

Nan Lan.

You are kind

and wise.

What?

You were the designer.

I didn't praise you.

Are you unhappy?

Impossible.

How could I not see

your kindness?

What kindness?

Nan Lan.

You let Tianqing

take them to visit the new house

for

the livelihood of the Red Scarf, right?

They don't have work to do

because of me.

I have to do my best

to help them.

In terms of that building,

your brother is still patient?

He

has been impatient for a long time.

But he didn't dare to talk to you.

He said he wanted to

leave it to me.

Why didn't you ask me?

Why should I?

You must have your reason

for doing this.

So,

Miss Nan Lan was helping us

by asking them to give advice.

Yes.

When I showed them around,

I received two job offers.

And three bosses

made reservations for their construction sites

two months later.

Great!

Tianqing.

Miss Qi is far-sighted.

As the big sister,

you are impressive.

I just got lucky.

Miss Nan Lan

is so kind.

She is willing to help us.

However,

none of the new bosses hired female workers before

at their construction sites.

They are still

sceptical about us.

So,

I proposed a trial.

Trial?

Trial?

How?

We will work

free of charge

for the first three days.

No way.

Who wants to work without getting paid?

Listen to me.

If we can't do it well

in the first three days,

we don't have to go anymore.

But if bosses

are satisfied with our work,

we'll sign contracts immediately.

After that,

each of you

can earn 85 cents per day.

Eighty-five cents? That's a lot.

So we work free of charge for three days,

and the pay is 85 cents, right?

That's good.

That's good.

That's good.

This is good.

This is good.

Meihua.

I heard that you haven't been out for days.

I let Cui down.

She became like this because of me.

I'm too ashamed to face anyone.

Tianqing.

Take my red scarf back.

I have to go back to my hometown

to get even with

my heartless brother.

Your brother just got married.

Even if you go back now,

will you really

set fire to his house?

He is shameless.

He lied to Cui.

Cui

was out there alone.

I was so worried that I couldn't sleep.

I saw Laifu today.

Didn't you beg him

to help you find Cui?

He did his best.

He found her.

Really?

Cui

found a job

in a condominium.

She helps do cleaning.

Sometimes,

she cooks for bosses.

She gets paid monthly.

She makes a lot of money.

So don't worry.

Well...

I want to

see her.

She doesn't want to see us,

because she doesn't want others

to know her past.

Since she wants to start over,

why do you have to

disturb her now?

She will come back

when she figures it out.

You will still be best friends

forever.

I have good news.

There will be a construction site at the dock tomorrow.

It needs 12 female workers,

including five Blue Scarf girls.

Ling and Gui suggested

you should be the leader.

Me?

If the boss is satisfied,

he will hire you.

The pay is 85 cents.

Then...

Okay.

Tianqing.

Don't worry.

I'll work hard.

I'll make more money

and pay back the money to Cui in the future.

Good.

We only need to make

five pairs.

I'll find some old tires tomorrow.

Thank you, everyone.

Meihua.

Meihua.

Here.

Take these five pairs of shoes

to those Blue Scarf girls.

They are waiting for you at the street corner.

Tianqing.

You made them last night?

We have rubber shoes now.

We are not afraid of getting hurt.

But we can't let Blue Scarf girls

take the risk.

I was just worried

what I

should do

with five Blue Scarf girls.

And you gave me these.

With these five pairs of shoes,

we don't have to say anything.

We are sisters.

No matter what I say,

they'll listen to me.

Tianqing.

We are sisters.

In terms of working,

you're great.

But I'm not convinced,

because I'm not bad.

But I really admire you

for your generosity and wisdom.

Enough.

Don't stand on ceremony.

Ling and Gui

think highly of you.

In the future,

we shouldn't only think about ourselves.

We should also take good care of sisters.

If they are wronged,

we should have the courage

to speak up for them in front of bosses.

If we make mistakes,

we should admit our mistakes

in front of bosses.

And we should find a way to make it right.

Got it.

My big sister.

Work hard.

OK.

Girls, let's go.

Let's go.

Let's go.

The owner of this condominium

is quite nice.

He often gives tips.

So,

I really don't want to

give this job to you.

Then the job is yours.

Well.

He...

The boss has a family.

This is where

he brings girls.

They are bad women.

I don't like them.

I've been a maid here for long.

It's okay that I don't like them.

But you can't.

If you do,

you'll lose your job.

Let me make it clear.

In front of the boss,

you must not show

your dislike.

Otherwise,

you'll be

kicked out.

Got it?

Yes.

Boss.

We have a new female worker.

Starting tomorrow,

she will clean your room.

If you need anything,

ask her to do it.

You've done a good job.

Why do I need another female worker?

I have to manage

several condominiums alone.

I'm old. I can't handle it.

The new worker

is good.

She is capable.

She worked at construction sites before.

She

was a Red Scarf member.

A Red Scarf woman.

She must have dark skin

as she was exposed to the sun and wind.

What can a rough woman do?

Let her leave.

Her skin is not dark.

She is not rough either.

Boss,

why don't you take a look first?

If you don't like her,

I'll stay and clean your room.

Okay.

Come in.

Do you like her?

No.

Don't be ridiculous.

Just a female worker.

As long as she can do things.

Let her stay.

Thank you.

I'll go clean the kitchen

and the bedrooms first.

No hurry.

Bring me some fruits first.

Thank you. Boss.

You have your eyes on her.

Our love is over.

I'm leaving.

We all have a love for beauty.

So do you.

Please sit down.

Boss.

You're here.

I am waiting for you.

Come in.

Can you cook?

Yes.

How about this?

I'll give you money.

You buy a fish,

meat,

and vegetables for me.

And you cook me a meal, okay?

I'm sorry. Boss.

I can't go out.

Why?

That old woman

often went out to buy things for me.

You can keep

the rest of the money.

You can make money.

This is against the rules.

Please don't make it difficult for me.

All right.

It's rare for such a beautiful girl

to follow rules.

How about this?

I'll go buy things myself.

You cook for me after I come back.

Okay?

The fish soup is amazing.

Come and have a taste.

No.

Boss, take your time.

I have to continue cleaning.

Don't do the rough work.

Sit down.

Eat with me.

This...

This is not appropriate.

Boss, don't make it difficult for me.

Okay.

Go back to work.

Boss.

I've finished my work.

I'll come here tomorrow.

Cui.

Didn't I tell you?

The money under the pillow

is tips given by the boss.

Why didn't you take it?

He gave too much.

That's not tips.

What are you afraid of?

I can see that

Mr. Lu

likes you.

No matter how much he gave you,

take it.

Just let him do whatever he wants to you.

You won't lose anything.

If that's the case,

I'll quit.

I can go somewhere else

to look for a job.

That's not what I meant.

Why are you doing this?

It's okay if you are not willing.

I didn't force you.

I once helped a man pay his debt.

I thought I could

rely on him for the rest of my life.

But I didn't expect that

he married another woman.

I don't want to rely on men.

I just want to rely on myself.

Madam.

I can clean more condominiums.

But I don't want to take tips from him.

If I take it,

that means I rely on him.

I'll feel uncomfortable.

Xueting, just come in.

Xue...

It's me, not Xueting.

Madam Biyun.

Why did you come here?

I'm here to ask you to eat.

Me?

I brought food back.

Well.

There are servants

cooking in this house.

Why are you eating that?

Come with me.

Xueqiao and Xueting are waiting.

Madam Biyun.

I think I'll pass.

I'm not used to it.

Xiaochan,

you've lived in the Lu family

for several months.

Although I was not satisfied

with your relationship with Xueting

in the beginning,

it seems now

you two will get married anyway.

Our family

has rules.

The rules

for masters,

guests, and servants

are different.

There are some things

you need to get used to.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Brother.

We have a guest today?

What guest?

From now on,

Xiaochan will

eat with us.

That's great.

Thank you.

No need.

Go.

Sit beside Xueting.

Here.

Take a seat, Xiaochan.

Xueting.

I heard that Nan Lan's ancestral house

has completed renovation.

Yes.

Biyun.

Congratulations to Xueting.

Congratulations to our great designer.

This is his first project.

Yes. Congratulations.

And Xiaochan.

She is his assistant.

We should congratulate her too.

Congratulations to you both.

Come on.

Thank you, Madam Biyun.

Congratulations.

Eat more, Xiaochan.

Xueting.

Nan Lan's ancestral house

has completed renovation.

She should be in a good mood, right?

Is this a good time

to tell her

to resume work at that building?

Yes. This is a good time.

I was wondering

why my sister-in-law

asked Xiaochan to eat with us.

It turns out that

you want me to do something for you.

Xueting.

How could you say that?

Although mom died,

we are still a family.

Only you and your brother

are on the same side,

you can protect the Lu family,

which is facing challenges.

Yes.

You are right.

Actually,

I asked Nan Lan long ago.

I think

she...

What did she say?

I think she wants you

to beg her.

She wants me to beg her?

No way.

Even if I beg her,

will it work?

I think it will work.

Think about it.

She spent a lot of money

just to suspend

the Lu family's business?

It's a lose-lose situation.

Doesn't she have

cost?

She is a woman.

She might be irrational

when she made the decision.

I think

she was just angry.

Brother.

You

have been in charge of our family's business

for many years.

You are a famous boss

in Xingzhou.

A great man knows

when to yield and when not.

I think you know that.

Of course.

Even if you have made up your mind

not to

give in to Nan Lan,

she will have to resume work

in two years at most.

Otherwise,

she will suffer greater losses, right?

Two years?

She can afford it.

But can we?

Really?

We can't afford

to suspend the project for another two years?

Our family

should have enough money, right?

I didn't tell you about the Lu family's difficulties,

because I didn't want to trouble you.

She wants me

to give in, right?

I give in.

Xueting.

Your brother is a proud man.

But now,

for the sake of the Lu family,

he is willing to do anything.

If you can go with him,

it will work better.

Me?

Yes.

Nan Lan indicated that

she wanted to

meet both of you.

OK.

I tolerated it

when Bai Wei slapped me in public.

For the sake of the Lu family,

I won't shirk my responsibility.
