Secretary Cheng.
Ms. Cen, sorry
for bothering you so early.
It's like this.
This morning, when I came over,
I found Li Wu at the door,
standing guard all night.
He said the lock was broken.
I thought I'd let him
have a bite to eat before leaving.
But after I came back from the canteen,
I realized the kid was gone.
I asked around and found out
his uncle had come
and taken him away.
Saying he was going to take him
to work at the mine today.
I guess by now,
he's already on the way.
Wait for me a moment.
(Chemistry)
Today you must go to the factory!
Go!
Go!
- Just let Wu go to school.
- Go!
All the money he earns goes to you!
What do you want?
- Want to hit me, huh?
- Wu, let go! Wu!
Li Wu!
What did you say?
I said I want to take Li Wu
to study in Yi City.
Let him go to college.
Why?
You just take him away as you like?
How much?
You tell me.
Is this about money?
You've been talking about money
all along, haven't you?
Education to you
is worthless.
But for Li Wu,
it's the only
chance to change his fate.
He's a good student
my father cultivated.
I can't let him be ruined.
What do you mean by ruined?
If I hadn't taken him in,
he would have starved to death.
You city folks
have this kind of attitude.
You think having money
lets you come to my house
and take someone away?
What are you doing? Get lost!
It's nothing.
Move aside.
If I really wanted to take him,
I wouldn't be here talking with you.
I've already contacted a lawyer
who will go through
the previous contracts
and clarify everything.
I'm taking the rest of the money
from the bank card as well.
Wait
The lawyer will also discuss with you
how much you've illegally taken
of assets that aren't yours.
Forcing a child to drop out,
depriving a natural person's legal will,
violates the law.
If necessary,
the police
can be involved.
You're trying to scare me?
I don't know what you plan to do to me.
30,000 yuan.
I'll give it to you in one go
as this year's support money.
I won't pursue the money
from the card anymore.
30,000 yuan is definitely not enough.
I need 50,000 yuan
to renovate a house.
Why are you using your phone?
Looking for a lawyer or the police.
Pick one.
Alright, fine.
30,000 yuan is fine.
As you say.
Give me the card number.
Secretary Cheng,
please call the village officials
to witness this.
Li Wu,
go pack your things.
Take out my bank card.
(Chemistry, Chinese, Physics)
I haven't had a chance
to ask your opinion yet.
I'm officially asking you now
to take you back to Yi City.
Are you willing?
I will pay you back.
Alright.
Does it include interest?
How much?
I'm just joking.
You can pay me back
with your college entrance exam results.
Put your things down.
Wu.
Hurry up and go.
Once you leave, don't come back.
Can I go to one more place?
Go ahead.
I'll wait here.
Li Wu.
Leave your things here.
(The Grave of Father)
Li Wu.
Why haven't you gone to school
these past couple of days?
I can study at home too.
If everyone could make it
on their own through self-learning,
then why even go to school?
You have to study well,
learn knowledge,
and go out.
Don't be like me,
trapped here in the mountains.
(The Grave of Father)
Why aren't you getting in the car?
I didn't lock it.
How long have I been asleep?
How long have you been standing here?
I
Are you crazy?
Why didn't you wake me up?
Get in the car.
What are you doing?
My shoes are muddy.
Mine too.
The car is already dirty.
We can wash the car tomorrow.
Get in the car.
Wipe it off.
Your forehead got some dirt.
Well
Thank you.
Are you hungry? Want to eat something?
I
I'm not hungry.
I'm hungry.
Eat then.
Hey, Mom.
Why are you still awake so late?
I can't sleep.
What's wrong?
I went to your place today.
Why didn't you tell me beforehand?
Have you been living separately
from Wu Fu?
Impossible.
Wu Fu said so?
Do I need someone else to tell me?
I can tell
if you're living there or not.
There's not a trace of life.
Not a single
thing you usually use.
And I can see
that you moved out
not just for a day or two.
It's because of this
that I toss and turn and can't sleep.
I'm getting a divorce.
Why this time?
Just can't continue like this.
You always say things in anger.
Divorce, divorce, divorce, and divorce.
I've heard you say that
a few times already.
This time it was him.
Wu Fu mentioned it?
Why did he bring it up?
What gives him the right?
Hey.
Speak, where are you?
I just came back from Yunfeng Village.
Yunfeng?
Why did you go to Yunfeng?
Give the phone to Dad.
Jin.
What's going on?
Dad, I want to ask you something.
Do you know
Mr. Qi from Yi City High School?
The one from Yi City High School before.
He was head of the math department.
He should be working at Yingcai now.
Yes. Are you looking for him
for something?
It's about the child you sponsored
in Yunfeng.
Because of some issues at home,
he missed the college entrance exam.
So I want
to consult Mr. Qi
about repeating a year.
Actually, the situation
is a bit complicated.
I've already brought the child back.
I want him to continue studying
in Yi City.
So I wanted to contact Mr. Qi
What did you say?
Who did you bring back?
Li Wu.
You brought Li Wu back?
Jin.
Are you crazy?
Such a big matter,
you and I, and your dad
Did we discuss it together?
Did you discuss it with Wu Fu?
You're in the middle of a divorce,
and you still have time to worry
about this?
Then if I don't, who will?
Wu Fu doesn't want to.
Should you and my dad take care of it?
The child called.
If I don't step in,
just let him fend for himself?
You still have time to manage others.
Take care of yourself first.
How come I haven't taken care of myself?
I'm fine.
And this child isn't
the one you were supposed
to sponsor back then?
If not you,
why would I drive all night
to come back?
Back then,
you and Wu Fu
told us not to go.
You two go handle it.
Back then,
who insisted on marrying Wu Fu?
Was it you?
And now,
you blame your dad and me.
You're already separated.
You kept it from your parents.
Even if we wanted to,
we couldn't interfere.
Right.
It's all my fault.
You're not wrong.
I'm just being willful, okay?
Anyway, I've brought the child back.
No need to worry. I'll handle it!
Hey.
I can only take you to my house first.
My house isn't big,
but it has two rooms.
You can stay in the guest room for now.
Okay.
Why are you out there?
Come in.
Once you've changed, come in.
I'll wash my face.
You can sit anywhere.
Why are you just standing there?
Sit.
Go ahead.
You can put your luggage here.
I cooked yesterday, hope you don't mind.
Thanks.
Your delivery.
Thanks.
This fried chicken is really good.
You can start eating.
Li Wu.
You're in science, right?
The textbooks for the county
high school and here
should be the same.
After all,
they're from the same province.
The textbooks are the same.
I'll figure out a way
to see if I can get you
into the best school to repeat the year.
The learning environment will be better.
This is just my suggestion.
You don't need to feel pressured.
Your own thoughts
are the most important.
Actually,
being able to go to school
is already good.
Going to school
is not just about attending classes.
It's about how to study, what to study,
and why to study.
I hope you have
high expectations for yourself.
Set a goal for yourself.
I brought you back
not for nothing.
There are conditions for you.
At least get into a 211 university.
Can you do it?
Eat.
On the way back today,
during that phone call,
I was a little emotional
because of the argument.
I said some harsh words,
but not directed at you.
I hope you don't take it to heart.
Okay.
I won't.
Li Wu, you're nineteen, right?
Then just call me sister from now on.
Don't call me?
Sister.
Eat.
This is your room.
Sheets, pillows
and a blanket are all on the bed.
You can set it up yourself later.
The wardrobe and drawers are empty.
You can use them freely.
♪Yesterday's scenes♪
These suitcases
are from when I moved
and stored some stuff.
I'll clean them up soon.
♪Stars accompany the night♪
That should be about it.
If you need anything,
let me know.
I'll show you the bathroom.
Toiletries are in the cabinet.
Hot water on the left.
Cold water on the right.
You can adjust it yourself.

My room has a bathroom.
This one outside is for you.
♪What should I do♪
Don't feel embarrassed.
Once school procedures are done,
it won't be a problem.
Then unpack first.

(Chun Chang:
What's going on with Wu Fu?)
(Have you decided to divorce?
How long since your miscarriage? This jerk!)
(Where did you go?
Message me when you can.)
(Just saw it.)
(So tired.)
(I went to Yunfeng,)
(and brought that child back.)
Hey.
You're amazing.
You brought a child back from Yunfeng.
You're not doing it to get back
at Wu Fu, right?
Don't mention it.
I just couldn't take
Wu Fu's indifferent attitude.
It felt so cold-blooded.
I got heated
and acted impulsively.
So what now?
I originally planned
to send him to my parents.
But because of Wu Fu,
I argued with my mom.
I even said some harsh words,
so I couldn't send him to them.
Then
Let him stay at your place
for two days first.
School starts in a couple of days.
Does that mean he can stay on campus?
Chang.
I won't tell you now.
My mom is here.
Chang.
I will leave tomorrow.
Look.
This is Yang Hao.
Go meet him.
You came to me
just for this matter, right?
Yes.
Just this matter.
You
Why didn't you dry off?
Because I just finished showering.
This is prepared for you.
Dry off quickly.
I put the stomach medicine on the table.
Take it before sleeping.
Okay.
Morning.
Morning, Sister.
Did you take medicine yesterday?
Yes.
Is your stomach still hurting?
No.
You don't have to force yourself
to eat if you can't.
You can just tell me.
No, it's
I
I ate too much yesterday.
Here, take this first.
I forgot to tell you yesterday.
This is the sofa bed.
Don't even know how you
slept yesterday.
This
Help pull it out together.
Put the sheets on first.
Have some porridge
to settle your stomach first.
Sister.
Actually,
I can make breakfast.
Do you often cook?
Alright.
Anyway, there's everything at home.
If you need anything,
tell me.
Okay.
Here.
Your eyes are beautiful.
Inherited from your mom?
Then your mom must be very pretty.
Actually, I don't really remember.
There's also no photo
of my mom at home.
Sorry.
I just asked casually.
It's okay.
No problem.
Li Wu.
From now on, no matter
what difficulties you face,
you can tell me,
just like family.
But I will return the money to you.
Don't worry about money for now.
Focus on studying first.
You can earn money later.
I still don't have much appetite.
I want to buy some fruit.
Do you want anything?
I don't need any.
Okay.
Then I'll just buy randomly.
Hello.
Do you need extra food?
What do you want to eat?
You know already.
One nut salad, please.
And add a serving
of Snow Mountain mashed potatoes.
Okay.
Wait.
Cancel the previous order.
Change it to thick-cut ribeye
and black vinegar mushrooms.
Okay, please wait.
Keep talking.
Why is it when I come,
you all stop talking?
We were just talking
about the project plan.
Jin.
Are you on vacation?
I was curious, when I went
to your company just now,
why didn't I see you?
I was also curious why today at lunch,
it was just the two of you?
Where's everyone else?
They
Why are you being sarcastic?
Say whatever you want.
This is really boring.
I just wanted to have a meal.
Okay.
Then let's eat.
Try this.
Eat properly.
Eat.
Mr. Wu,
I'll serve myself.
No need to trouble you.
You just focus on the client.
My work doesn't need your interference.
If you said so earlier,
we wouldn't have
grown in the same company.
I have a meeting this afternoon.
You two can talk first.
I suddenly don't want to eat.
You have a good appetite,
so just eat it all.
