[Sisterhood]

[Episode 40]

Eat it while it's hot.

What are you two doing?

I can make you another bowl

of noodles.

Mr. Noodles.

They are displaying their affection.

If you cook another bowl,

you're interfering.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Chief of Police Hunt said

tomorrow is the deadline.

I'm afraid there's nothing we can do.

Tomorrow?

Tianqing.

Did you hire someone to publish an article

on Chinese Newspaper today?

Now,

go to the newspaper offices overnight,

to all newspaper offices in Xingzhou.

But other than Chinese Newspaper,

other newspapers won't pay attention to us.

They are writing articles

attacking Miss Nan Lan.

[Hainan Chicken Rice]

It's different now.

I have some photos.

They must like them.

All newspapers will like them.

Sister-in-law.

You're up so early.

Or you didn't sleep all night?

Let's go.

Let's talk somewhere else.

Why aren't the servants cooking here?

I've done it myself.

What do we need those servants for?

We two just

chat in the kitchen.

Sit over there.

The kitchen

is a place

for women to stay.

If the Lu family becomes poor in the future,

and can't afford to hire servants,

then those who work here

would only be you and me.

Sit down.

Try this tea.

It's refreshing.

Thank you.

Delicious.

You must be

good at cooking.

I'll learn more from you.

Sister-in-law, what’s wrong?

Xiaochan.

We’re family.

I won't hide it from you anymore.

The rise and fall of the Lu family

will be determined today.

It lies in you.

Me?

Either we'll live a luxurious life

and become

the most wealthy ladies in Xingzhou,

or

we'll be cooks,

acting according to our husband's mood.

All men of Lu family

are fickle.

How long can we keep their hearts?

Who knows?

Meihua.

Cui!

You're finally back, Cui.

I'm sorry.

Where have you been for the past six months?

Did you suffer?

No, Meihua.

I'm fine.

I came back

to tell Tianqing.

Lu Xueqiao

told you all these?

Yes.

I asked around.

I think I know what happened.

I think these words

may be useful for Miss Nan Lan

and you.

So I came back in a hurry.

Thank you, Cui.

That's all.

He said it yesterday.

I don't think he was coaxing me.

Cui,

you're like a Bodhisattva.

Thank you.

Hai.

Where are you going? I'll be with you.

Don't go anywhere now.

Stay with your friends.

Be careful.

You too.

This is the Jin family's old house.

If it's Jin Biyun,

this is the only place

which is the most suspicious.

This place is so remote.

Go in and search.

Let's go.

This house is so strange.

Leave this area to me.

The wood outside looks as suspicious as well.

Do your search.

Yes, Sir. Let's go.

The culprit is a woman?

I can't believe it.

It's still early to make a conclusion.

Take pictures.

Yes, Sir.

Sir!

It's here.

Take pictures.

Yes, Sir.

Make Ouyang Tianqing eat

this box of snacks.

I know

you are good friends.

You must have your way.

Sister-in-law.

Are you...

I'm going to poison her to death!

What?

Of course.

You can go directly

to the police.

But I won't admit

what I just said.

Some jewellery left by my mother-in-law

were lost last night.

If the police come,

you'll be in jail forever.

You...

You're going to frame me?

I won't do that.

The women of the Lu family

must be united.

For the benefit of the Lu family,

and for ourselves.

Didn't you come across the sea

for a good life?

Nan Lan will definitely be hanged today.

If Tianqing doesn't die,

then everything

that should've belonged to us

will be all hers.

I know

you are friends

who grew up together.

She's about to soar to success.

How is she better than you?

Are you willing to see that happen?

[Fortune]

Why did you close the door?

I brought you delicious food.

Not much.

I can't share them with other girls.

What delicate snacks!

Unfortunately,

I'm not in the mood to eat.

I know

you can't sleep or eat

because of Miss Nan Lan.

So,

I brought these for you to nourish your body.

Eat. It's made of bird's nest.

It's much fancier

than those sold in our dessert shop.

We can keep them for Xiuhe.

She's feeding the baby now.

I got them for you.

She...

You have to eat.

I'll watch you eat.

You are the one I care the most.

Fine, I'll eat them.

But she is

Lu Xueting’s girlfriend.

If they get married,

she will have a share in obtaining Nan Lan's

enormous wealth.

No one related to the Lu family

can be trusted.

What's wrong?

When you were with me,

you've never

looked like this.

Are you suspicious

that I would harm you?

No.

I'm sorry.

I can't lie.

At that moment,

I did suspect you.

After all,

I really became a target these days.

For me,

Ye Heming and Uncle Kun

were injured.

I...

But no matter what,

I shouldn’t have suspected you.

Xiaochan.

You trust me so much.

You came after me

without a boat ticket.

You treat me like your own sister.

I'm sorry.

I... I made you sad.

What if I tell you

these snacks are really poisonous?

How is that possible?

How could you harm me?

Wait.

I'm serious, Tianqing.

What you're going to inherit

is not only Goddess Hotel,

but also gold,

jewelry,

rubber garden,

sugarcane garden,

tin ore, and durian garden.

It is wealth

beyond our imagination.

Xueting will marry me.

I will become a member of the Lu family.

Without you,

these wealth would belong to the Lu family.

I also have a share.

All right.

What wealth?

I'm not interested.

I don't care.

For me,

friendship

is more important than anything.

But just now,

I did suspect you.

It was my fault.

I shouldn't have suspected you.

You can scold me however you want.

I'll accept it.

I will never

suspect you again.

Xiaochan.

We agreed that we were friends.

Then we will be friends forever.

We'll be friends no matter who is poor or rich.

If I have a bite to eat,

I won't let you starve.

I believe if the other way around,

you'll do the same to me.

Thank you for your high-end snacks.

I'll eat it.

Such a hearty breakfast?

This is from the Goddess Hotel.

Are you

so reasonable now?

You allow my people to deliver food?

I told them to deliver it.

I know

you once owed a high status

and lived a luxurious life

in Xingzhou.

So,

I hope you can end well.

Of course,

I acted on my own.

You mean...

Today you will be executed by hanging.

Enjoy your meal.

My lady.

My lady.

Don't cry.

I'm wronged.

If I die,

God will clear my name.

She's a witch indeed.

We should hang her now!

Hang her! Kill her!

Miss Nan Lan!

Miss Nan Lan!

Miss Nan Lan!

You can't eat it.

It's really poisonous.

I just wanted to test you.

Then I'll

take the snacks

to the police with you.

I'm not kidding.

Tianqing.

You made me realize

what friendship is

and what friends are.

I've always been selfish.

I even thought about

doing bad things for those wealth.

Tianqing.

Mother, you're not the murderer.

You won't die.

Little newspaper boy.

Send out the newspaper!

Newspaper! Newspaper!

The Governor's wife coveted jewels.

Miss Nan Lan was framed.

Newspaper!

The Governor's wife coveted jewels.

Miss Nan Lan was framed.

Newspaper! Today's news!

The Governor's wife coveted jewels.

Miss Nan Lan was framed.

The time has come.

Execute the hanging.

Peace will be restored to Xingzhou.

No.

No!

My lady!

My lady!

Let go of me!

Let go of me!

What should we do?

What should we do?

Stop!

Wait!

I'm sorry.

Dear Miss Nan Lan,

I almost came late.

I'm Chief of Police Hunt of Xingzhou.

I found new evidence.

We can basically confirm

Nan Lan was framed.

-That's great. -Great!

Miss Nan Lan.

We've found

where Lu Xuelin was imprisoned.

Where?

Keep these for me

for a couple of days.

I'm competing with Dong's Group

for a piece of land in the North Bridge Road area.

With this money,

our Lu family

is bound to win.

Xueting.

You...

Sister-in-law.

I've been waiting for you for a long time.

How did you get in?

This is

Miss Bihua's apartment.

I've been here before.

These days,

I calmly recall it.

I always feel that

my brother's disappearance,

my mother's sudden death

and my sister-in-law's being framed

are all related to you.

Just in time,

I found this.

Actually, it's kind of embarrassing.

When I just came back to Xingzhou.

Bihua

put it in my pocket secretly.

She's a cute girl.

She wanted to go on a date with me,

but she was too shy to tell me.

I've never

used this key before.

But I don't have the chance

to return it to her.

Yesterday, at the construction site,

after something unpleasant happened

between me with my Xueqiao,

I came here.

I suddenly found

there is an additional safe here.

So I waited.

I decided not to drink or eat.

As long as I'm not thirsty or starving to death,

I won't leave this place.

I will wait

for the owner of this safe to come

to see what's inside.

Sister-in-law.

Are these all yours?

Jin Biyun,

what other secrets do you have?

I've been to the old house of your Jin family

in the mountain.

There's a big iron door locked.

Is that

the place

where Xuelin is imprisoned?

Shut up!

Shut up!

It seems that Xuelin

is really locked up there.

I didn't dare to think about it.

What's the use

of all these things, anyway?

Of course they're useful.

Just because our Jin family

doesn't have these,

your family

doesn't treat me as a human.

Lu Xuelin married Nan Lan

because she was rich,

instead of me.

He toyed with me

but dumped me to Lu Xueqiao,

that loser.

How can I accept it?

Of course I want revenge.

Xueqiao!

Lu Xueqiao.

Jin Biyun has made a confession.

Five years ago,

she hired a gang

to kidnap Nan Lan.

But they mistakenly kidnapped Lu Xuelin.

In order not to get exposed,

she collaborated with the mute servant Yasin

to kill the group of the kidnappers.

And not long ago,

she colluded with Lin Longqing

to murder Yasin.

Desire turns a woman

into a evil demon.

After Nan Lan was arrested and imprisoned,

she decided to seize Nan Lan's property.

she staged several assassinations

against Ouyang Tianqing.

Three people were killed.

And two were seriously injured because of that.

And this morning,

she tried to poison Ouyang Tianqing with poisonous snacks.

Vicious women

will be severely punished.

Jin Biyun has been sentenced to hang.

You should be glad that you didn't kill anyone.

Oh, Darling, please. Allow me to explain.

There's nothing more to explain.

Let's divorce.

You greedy and despicable woman!

Get out of Xingzhou!

Sister-in-law.

According to my careful deduction,

the most suitable and safest height

for this building

should be nine and a half floors.

So, that means reducing

the tenth floor to half the area

of the other floors.

It will be

a ballroom with great scenery.

We can overlook the beautiful scenery of Xingzhou

from there.

I can see that you're very attentive.

I trust you as a designer.

Thank you, Sister-in-law.

As to Xuelin...

Why mention him?

Fruit delivery workers. Come here.

Everyone, come here.

Hurry up.

Red Scarf and Blue Scarf,

please stop and have a rest.

Miss Nan Lan asked someone to bring fruits.

It's so nice.

Boss, why are these only for female workers?

What about us?

The female workers willl eat first.

You can eat after they finish.

There are plenty of fresh fruits.

Thank you, Boss.

Thank you, Boss.

Thank you, Boss.

Thank you, Boss.

Thank you, Miss Nan Lan.

Thank you, Miss Nan Lan.

You may leave.

Okay.

What are you doing here?

I'm not here

to ask for your forgiveness.

I know I made mistakes.

I will spend my entire life repenting.

I'm here

to tell you

my daughter,

Bai Wei,

and Ye Heming are engaged.

The wedding date is on the 18th of next month.

It's the Chinese Valentine's Day.

Bai Wei.

Have you discussed it with Tianqing?

About what?

The wedding date of Tianqing and Hai

will also be on that day.

Really?

Great.

[Tofu Village]

Higher.

Like this?

Okay?

Okay.

I'll stick it.

The right side is higher.

Lower the right slightly.

[Happiness]

Xiuhe.

Yue.

You are...

Miss Nan Lan has hired

the best lawyer in Xingzhou for me.

I was bailed.

The lawyer said

the court would rule that

it was self-defense.

I may not have to go to jail anymore.

Really?

Great.

Great!

Yue!

Do you have any plans for the future?

I'll follow the Big Sister

and be a Red Scarf for the rest of my life.

Do you think it's bad?

Of course it's bad.

I already knew

who she is.

It’s a pity

for her not to perform.

You know what?

Many Chinese overseas want to watch operas,

but they can't.

I have a friend in Indonesia

who set up a theater.

But they lack performers.

Let me arrange for you to go there.

Let Chinese arts

go further

and longer.

I still have a chance to perform?

Of course.

A good actor can’t be buried.

But

no matter how good this thing is,

you don't have to rush.

Leave after

Tianqing's wedding, okay?

Tianqing.

I won't argue with you

about holding the wedding in the Tofu Village.

But

you must spend the wedding night at Goddess Hotel.

This is a little gift from me.

I'm so sorry.

I treat you

as my own daughter.

Don't be polite.

I've prepared enough rooms.

Call Xiaochan, Bai Wei

and all the Red Scarf

to have fun.

Okay?

Okay.

Normally,

you should bring your father to Xingzhou.

I wrote to him,

but he refused to come.

Why?

Father is not feeling well.

He is afraid that he would die in a foreign land

and couldn't return to his hometown.

Life was so hard then.

I told your father

to come across the sea to work.

The tree may be moved to die, but a person may be moved to live.

With hard work,

we may be able to have a good life.

But your father said

he was reluctant to let go of the legacy

left by his ancestors.

Actually, there was no legacy.

We didn't even have

a decent house.

Your father also said

no matter how shabby the house is,

it's still a home.

Where there are roots,

there is the soul.

I kind of

understand this sentence

after so many years.

I, Chang Yudie,

was like a butterfly,

who flew away easily.

It was not easy for your father

to raise you up on his own.

I told my father

about your being in Xingzhou.

Well, he...

He said

you are a good woman.

He asked me not to hate you

and be good to you.

He also said

he didn't hate you.

It's not easy for you

to work alone outside.

You have your difficulties.

He knew it in his heart.

You did suffer a lot

with him.

In fact, he felt guilty.

Tianqing.

Tell me.

If I go back to Sanshui,

will your father forgive me?

We have to pave our own path.

I've made up my mind.

After both Heming

and you get married,

I'll go back to Sanshui.

Either

I'll bring your father to Xingzhou,

or

I'll stay in the countryside

with him for the rest our lives.

I'll do it anyway

no matter he forgives me or not.

Mom.

[Happiness]

She's out.

She's out.

I'll leave my daughter

to you.

Don't worry, Father.

I will respect her and love her for my whole life.

I'll grow old with her.

Honey,

we're home.

Am I dreaming?

Of course not.

It's the greatest luck

in my life to marry you.

Great!

-Great! -Great!

Great!

Raise the sedan chair.

Great!

[Wanhe Hall]

First bow to heaven and earth.

[Happiness] [Wanhe Hall]

Second bow to your parent.

Bow to each other.

Serve tea to your mother.

I don't deserve it.

You treat Heming as well

as a biological mother.

We should bow to you.

Brother-in-law.

Here.

Take this.

Brother-in-law, this is...

From now on, you'll be

in charge of this family.

It's not appropriate.

Brother-in-law, you are still here.

How can we be in charge?

My life

is a failure.

I'm no longer suitable

to manage anything.

From now on, you'll be the one

to assist Xueting

to revitalize the Lu family.

To revitalize the Lu family.

To revitalize the Lu family.

Okay.

Laifu, let's go.

OK.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

Next,

Hai

and my sister-in-law

will present a speech.

Great!

Come on.

Hai.

Say something.

Let's go.

Say something.

Hai.

Say something.

Come on, go up.

It's a big day.

You have to say more.

Come on, sister-in-law.

Great!

Great!

I'll say something then.

Our bridal sedan chair

was carried out for a round

and returned to the original spot.

Because my wife

wants to hold a wedding here,

leading me to become a son-in-law

who entered the bridal's family.

Welcome, Brother-in-law.

You're marrying into the bride's family.

Don't be shy.

Am I right, Brother-in-law?

If you have a child in the future,

will its last name be Ouyang?

You talk too much.

I'm not done yet.

I'm willing to marry into and live with my wife's family.

When my wife

didn't like me,

I was thinking

if she asked me to go to Sanshui,

I'm willing to do it.

I'm willing to go anywhere

since I married such a good wife.

Right?

-Great! -Great!

Okay.

It's my wife's turn to say something.

-Great! -Great!

-Great! -Great!

To be honest,

when I first came here,

I really didn't expect

I would meet Hai

and get married in Xingzhou.

I didn't expect

to have invited Miss Nan Lan,

Mr. Hunt

and all the guests here.

Thank you for coming.

In order to make a living,

we crossed the sea

to come here

and put on the red scarf.

We want to

change our fate

with our own hands.

Fate

made me meet

such good friends.

We help each other.

We're like sisters.

No matter how hard it is,

we will fight together.

Although we're not

as strong as men,

But from level ground to high buildings,

whether it's laying the foundation

or pouring cement,

we are no worse than male workers.

We used our sweat and efforts

to build every brick and tile

of the towering buildings.

Am I right, girls?

Yes.

We carried on our shoulders

Xingzhou on one end.

Xingzhou's buildings

are waiting for us to build.

On the other end, we shoulder our hometown.

Family in our hometown

want us to make more money

and go home safely.

So,

the burden on the shoulders

of us female workers is actually quite heavy.

Miss Nan Lan, look.

Not only Red Scarf

and Blue Scarf came today,

but also Black Scarf.

The scarves in different colors

represent people from different hometowns.

But in a broader view,

we are all the same.

We are all Chinese.

Our ancestors taught us

that as humans,

we have to endure hardships,

and strive for self-independence,

self-improvement,

self-respect,

and self-love.

So I believe

there's no suffering we can't bear,

nor buildings

that we can't build.

Am I right, girls?

Yes.

Yes.

That's right.

Well said.

Miss Nan Lan,

I think Ouyang Tianqing

should be the president

of the female labor union

that's to be established.

She's totally qualified.

I agree.

We

should let them

have a love shot.

Okay?

Okay.

Don't make a fuss.

Come on.

Have a love shot.

Love shot! Love shot!

Love shot! Love shot!

Love shot! Love shot!
