[INDO SUB] The Story of Xing Fu EP30 | Zhao Liying / Liu Wei | YOUKU
[The Story of Xing Fu] [Episode 30] Mr. Xie, we are in a rural area so don’t mind the simple dishes. If they are not to your liking and you prefer a more elaborate setup, we can go to another place. Didn’t I ask you to tell your sister
To prepare the most expensive meal she can afford? Is this it? I did tell her. Mr. Xie, my sister told me that you’re a VIP and asked me to prepare the most expensive dishes for you. The dishes here represent the local specialties and all ingredients are locally sourced. They are fresh and healthy.
This is the most expensive meal we offer here. Although they are simple, a greatness hides within. We put a lot of effort into it. Why don’t you give them a taste first? Yes. Mr. Xie. Come. Pick up the chopsticks and try some. What vegetable is this? Shepherd’s Purse. Shepherd’s Purse?
It’s not like the ones I used to eat. This is wild Shepherd’s Purse. I harvested it from the mountain half an hour ago. I even have a photo of the harvest. Do you want to have a look? If you don’t believe it, I can bring you to the mountain. We can eat it
As we harvest it. Am I a bunny now? How humorous of you, Mr. Xie. I’m the owner here. Let me know if you need anything. Enjoy the meal and take your time. Where is the wine? What are we drinking today? The wine we brew ourselves, of course. Sure. I will adapt. Okay.
Mr. Xie, Mr. Wan arranged for you an organic and natural meal to thank you for your hard work on our products in the five southern provinces all these years. Hold on. I’ll be frank. I know this meal is a meal with an agenda. The dishes are good, and so is the wine. But
I truly have no money. I know what you’re trying to do. You even brought a beautiful lawyer with you. This is the calm before the storm. I have experienced the calm part. Now, tell me the storm you’re brewing. Two things. First, her look has nothing to do with you. It’s my business.
She’s just a lawyer. That’s all. And secondly, you have to settle the payment one way or another. If you won’t give me the money back, my father will give me a hard time. If that happens, I’ll give everyone a hard time. What does that have anything to do with me?
I’m in a rough patch too. I do not doubt your product quality but they are not in high demand. The consumers don’t want it. Since the customers aren’t paying me, I can’t settle the payment with you. Low sales are not my problem! What did our contract say? Mr. Xie, the contract mentioned clearly
That you’re in charge of product promotion and visibility. It’s not our responsibility. Using this excuse to default on a payment is illegal. If you want to talk about laws today, then let’s end it here. Just start the legal proceedings. Bring me to court. Calm down. Mr. Xie, you’ve totally misunderstood
What Ms. He was trying to say. Initially, we both agreed that our responsibility was to produce the best product for the consumers. Right? And you know the quality is good. However, promotion and visibility are not our expertise. You’re the expert here. If you don’t know what went wrong, what else
Should we do then? I have already launched marketing campaigns, but to no avail. The consumers are not enticed. Truth be told, I have no money at the moment. Mr. Xie. Wow. I notice that long scar on your head. I’m sure that means you have seen the seedy side of society. And you have
The audacity to come here. You’re in my territory. Fine. No need to start the legal proceedings. Today, eat well and drink well. Have your last meal and find yourself a beautiful spot. I will dig a hole to bury you. I can show my face here because I know you can’t make a scene.
Wan Chuanjia. What are you doing? Why are you smashing my things? Fine. If you want to eat, eat. If not, go back home. Do not throw tantrums here. Don’t they say friendliness is conducive to business success? Why are you arguing? Right. Friendliness is conducive to business success. Mr. Xie,
Friendliness is conducive to business success. This is the local wine. Come, Ms. He. What? They shouldn’t drink. I’m here. Don’t worry. Mr. Xie. Enjoy the stunning view and the good wine. Oh, the scent. Try some. Mr. Xie, to be honest, please understand Mr. Wan’s situation. You haven’t seen his father.
He’s tough on Mr. Wan. Let’s talk. Everything can be solved. You know what? Let’s have a toast. Come, Mr. Xie. Here’s a toast to you. It’s okay. I’ll drink up first. Sorry for what just happened. Mr. Xie, I have a bad temper. If I behaved irrationally just now, I beg your pardon.
If you put it that way, then we can continue talking. I don’t want you to go bankrupt either. If you’re done for, so will I. I came here to figure out a solution with you guys. Perhaps we might get inspired. Exactly. This wine is delicious. Right? It was brewed with the spring water.
When you just arrived, there was a water assessment report by the entrance. It says that the water here contains more than 20 minerals. It’s all-natural mineral water. Is that so? I can find a heap of those reports anywhere. It’s real, of course. We spent more than 7,000 yuan on that report.
Also, why should I die? If you don’t trust me, you can hire a professional team and test the water. Mother Nature will not lie. Mother Nature will not lie. Well said. Perhaps this is our breakthrough. It is also a good slogan. I will draw up a plan with it after going back.
Maybe it can boost our sales. As expected of an expert. So astute. Ms. He, a toast to you. Thank you for inspiring me. You know what? To thank you, I’ll bring my team here at the end of the year for the annual reunion. What do you think? I… Sure, no problem.
But one thing has to be clear. Yes? We are a small business. So no deferred payment. Of course. Perhaps I’ll mention your inn when I’m promoting those healthcare products. Mr. Xie, we count on you for the payment. -Sure. -Come. Let’s have a toast together. Come. Come. Here. Come on. Mr. Wan.
Nice to meet you. Xiuyu. -You’re back. -Did you manage to register for the exam? I’m asking you. I didn’t. You didn’t? What do you mean? I couldn’t verify myself within the system. Xiuyu. You aim too high. Maybe you’re not meant to take the exam. Just accept it. You’re a girl.
Stop having an unrealistic dream. You’ll wear yourself out. You have earned good money anyway. Find a good husband. That’s your priority. Didn’t you say that you couldn’t register online so you would check on-site? So what happened? I checked with my ID number but it said duplicate registration. I couldn’t register back then
And now, the system doesn’t have my registration record. Duplicate registration? See? Xiuyu, I’ll be frank. You’re careless so you must have messed up somewhere. It’s like your National College Entrance Exam. You thought you aced it but… Perhaps we can ask Qingzhi? He works for the government so he can ask around. Exactly.
That’s easy. I have a friend working for the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Security. I’ll ask him to help when I go to work tomorrow. Calm down, Xiuyu. Perhaps it’s a system error. I’ll ask him to check tomorrow. The rain in the mountain can appear so abruptly. It’s so heavy. Don’t worry.
Everything will be prepared. Sure. Oh, dear. What a horrible path. It’s so muddy. Mr. Wu. Where were you? I was looking for inspiration but then heavy rain descended on me. The rain has washed away all my inspiration. Come. Have some water. Thank you. -Take a rest here. -Thank you. Xingfu,
The path becomes dangerous when it rains. Many clients have complained about it. We really need to fix it. Right. We have to solve this issue immediately. To the right. To the right. Miss Chen. You’re here. -This car… -Let me take a look. -has sunken into the mud. -Let me see.
Let me put this underneath it. See if it helps. Okay. Thank you. Go. Step… Step on the gas. Step on it. Try again. Hold on. Stop. Halt. It won’t work. Careful. It’s slippery here. I’m so sorry. This is the only muddy road. It’ll be all right in front. I’m so sorry.
We will fix this road in two days. Mind the steps. We’re almost there. [Niaofei Creek] [Xingfu Inn] Liu, what did you get? You sounded so urgent so I thought it was something serious. Your sister is quite harebrained. She has already passed the exam. Does she want to take it again? What?
Why do you sound so surprised? The system says that she has obtained the accounting certificate. It will not be reissued and that’s why she can’t register. All right. I have to go. I’ll download the digital copy and send it to your mailbox. Check it yourself. Thank you. [Accounting Certificate, Wang Xiuyu]
What’s going on, Xiuyu? Xiuyu? What’s going on? How can this be, Qingzhi? Chuanmei got accepted to a university but I wasn’t. Didn’t you say you did well? How would I know? I checked the answers. I got many right answers. Why didn’t I pass the exam? It shouldn’t be. There, there.
Chuanmei passed but I didn’t. There, there. [Wang Xiuyu, ID card details] Hey, I’m Qingzhi. I need you to check something for me. Qingzhi, what did you find? What? Chuanmei? I don’t have her number. Let me call Chuanjia. Didn’t you say you would fix the road once you get paid?
And didn’t Mr. Xie pay you? Yes, he did. But the payment is barely enough to pay my debt. Many people still have to pay up. Then when will you do this for me? Give me an answer. I told you within a month, didn’t I? A month hasn’t gone by. Please understand.
I am understanding. Am I not understanding enough? I have been postponing the project. Approve it now. Look outside. It’s rainy season soon. Muddy path and rain are a dangerous combination. Look. You opened this inn so that the city people can experience a slice of rural life. Right? You can tell them
This is part of rural life. How can I possibly tell them that? Only you… I… [Xiuyu] You want them to come all the way here just to trudge in the mud? Let me take this call first. Hello? Chuanmei? She does have a new phone number now. Are you looking for her?
I’m not sure about that. You know what? I’ll contact her for you. I’ll get back to you soon. All right? Okay. The rainy season is around the corner. I think for your inn, the road construction is a priority. I approved it. Any other problems you wish to solve? I guess
There’s no longer a problem. All right. Let me know if you have any problems. Okay. Thanks, Mr. Wan. I’ll leave you be. Bye. Xingfu. Nothing. Chuanmei, Xiuyu knows about it now. I can’t hide it any longer. Come back. How are you feeling? Are you tired? Chuanjia, have you told dad? Not yet.
What should I do then? Don’t worry. I’m here. Let’s go back first. We’ll talk back home. No way. Xiuyu, why are you carrying a cleaver? Oh, no. My child. Don’t touch me! What’s the matter? Come at me! Come at me! What’s going on? Why? They have no right. Absolutely no right!
How can this be? What happened? Who took advantage of you? Tell us. I checked the answers afterward. I aced them. What? What answers? Tell us. Explain, my dear. What happened? -Speak slowly. -When she came out, I even consoled her. Who? What are you on about? Calm down. Don’t…
All this time, you were pretending. Ten years. For ten years, I couldn’t get over it. What, my child? Can you please explain it more clearly? I felt guilty. I thought I was a disgrace. -Who? -Who exactly are you talking about? Why? What happened? Don’t cry, my child. -Tell us what happened? -Tell us.
I passed it. You passed it? -Passed what? -What? I passed it. Tell us, what exactly is going on? You mean the accounting certification? Passed what? No! Then what? I got accepted into a university. You did? Wait. Ten years ago, you failed. I did pass the exam. But someone took my spot.
Someone took your spot? -How is that possible? -Who took your spot? Who did? Wan Chuanmei. Wan… Wan Chuanmei took my name. Chuanmei? So many people got accepted. Why did she have to take your name? How am I supposed to know? She just had to take my name. She did it
Because we aren’t an established family here. Because our surname is Wang and not Wan here. This is outrageous. Unacceptable. Are you telling the truth? Why would I lie to you? Qingzhi told me everything. I’m done with this. I will fight them with my life. Dear. Xiuyu. Wan Chuanmei, you’re cruel!
Oh, why did this happen? Why do they always do this to us? This is serious. It’s about her life. Why our family? If you’re not good enough, don’t go to university. Why take Xiuyu’s spot? Oh, Xiuyu. You ruined my daughter’s life. So unfair. This is so unfair. She should be punished.
Bad karma will arrive. Why would she do that? It’s all my fault. I’m meek. I was bullied and my children will have to be bullied. Oh, this painful life. Dad! Dad! Why are you hitting yourself? I’m useless. So useless. Mom. This is not right. I’m telling you.
If you do not seek justice for me, if you do not sort this out, I… I’ll die today. I’ll die in front of their home. They have to pay for it. We are here for you. It’s okay, Xiuyu. It’s not the end of the world. There, there. Xiuyu. Xiuyu, listen to me.
Mom is here. I will not let this slide. You hear me? You hear me? Call Qinglai now. -Ask him to come back. -Okay. I’ll call him. I’ll call him. It’s okay. We’re still alive. We’ll sort this out. Dad. Eh? Eh? Dad. Chuanmei. Am I dreaming? I thought I was dreaming.
Why are you back? Come. Sit down. Why didn’t you tell me earlier? Oh, my. I’m so happy. Look at you. Not bad, you two. Wonderful. My baby daughter. My dear. -You lost weight. -Dad. What happened? Are you too happy to see me? It’s all right. It’s okay. Save me, Dad. What’s the matter?
What happened? Don’t cry. Tell me. What happened? What’s going on? There, there. My child. Tell me. Dad. What happened? Let me say it. Don’t get too agitated after you hear what I will say. The doctor said you shouldn’t be agitated. Get to the point. What happened? What are you doing? Chuanmei
Took Xiuyu’s slot to attend university. Back then, Wang Xiuyu got accepted to the university. But then the Wangs kept telling everyone that they hoped their daughter would never pass. If she passed, they wouldn’t have the money for the tuition fee. Chuanmei failed the exam. When she came home,
She cried for two days straight without eating or drinking. As her brother, I couldn’t bear seeing her like that. You were very occupied and I couldn’t contact you. Then, I heard someone knew a way to help those who failed to get into a university, as long as there were available spots.
I spent 20,000 yuan on this. I had a lapse of judgment and asked him to do it. We used Xiuyu’s name. So people outside all call Chuanmei Wang Xiuyu. Now, the Wangs got hold of this. How dare you? I’ll hit you to death. Dad. You’re irresponsible! Immoral!
-I’ll hit you. -Dad, stop hitting Chuanjia. Bold, aren’t you? Very bold. Don’t touch me. I will hit you to death. -Why did you do that? -Stop hitting him. How could you do that? Dad, what happened has happened. Chuanmei has graduated and has started working for a few years. What else can we do?
You sure are fearless. Do you guys even respect the laws? Why would you do this? Who did I do this for? For Chuanmei. And for you. Back then, your biggest wish was for Chuanmei to get into a good university. When Chuanmei received the acceptance letter, you were over the moon.
You were so happy. I have never seen you that happy before. Dad! Are you my father now? Shut up now. Or else, I’ll slap you until you’re a mute. Dad! What should we do now that the Wangs know about it? What should we do? You… You two grew insolent.
How could you do such a thing? She got accepted into the university. Why took her spot? This is her life. You ruined her life. Where’s your good conscience? Where is it? Dad. This is not Chuanjia’s fault. I implored Chuanjia to help me to get into a university. Chuanjia just wanted to help me.
No, Dad. It’s my fault. Blame me. I came up with the idea. Dad, I beg of you. Please help her. Help Chuanmei, okay? Dad, if this scandal breaks out, my life is over. I would rather die. There would be no point to live on. Chuanmei. For this thing, we’re in the wrong.
We made a huge mistake. This is evil. This is inhumane. Listen to me. Go visit the Wangs with me. We’ll apologize to them with gifts. They’ll decide what to make of you. They will hand you your punishment. And you. Quit your job. Come back. Forget your diploma. Forget your work. Come back.
Work in Wanjia Group if you want. If you don’t, stay home. I can support you. Chuanmei. My daughter. No! No one can know this. If everyone knows this, how am I supposed to live? Also, did I come back this time just because I want everyone
In the village to know I took Wang Xiuyu’s spot? But… No one can know about this. What will she think of us? How can I live with dignity? No! I don’t accept this. If you force me, I’ll die in front of you. I’ll join my mom. How dare you! I will join Mom!
And you’re threatening me with your mom? Even if you die now, your mom will reject you in the afterlife. Dad. Calm down. Take it out on me. Just take it out on me. You know what? What about this? From now on, you don’t need to provide for me. I’ll be on my own.
Dad, I’m begging you. I have never begged you. Just this once, please help Chuanmei. Help her. You should help me. Oh, for heaven’s sake. Dad. Dad. [Medical Area] Hang in there, Mr. Wu. We’re in the hospital now. How are you feeling? Are you all right? Okay, I guess. Xingfu,
The omen has come true. The omen has come true. Please don’t joke around. Is it very serious? Then I’ll get a number for you now. Xingfu. Why are you here? Did something happen? One client fell from the mountain. Is it serious? Very! Well. Come back. Bring him to Room 3.
I’ll ask Mr. Zhou to look at him right away. Go now! Place him there now. [Outpatient] This is too serious. It’s crazy. We need to think it through. If this went out, both our family and Mr. Wan would be done for. Mom, Xiuyu is the victim here.
Why are you defending someone else’s interest? I’m not defending their interest. I… I’m thinking for us. I’m trying my best here. What I mean is that if everyone knows this, the Wans will be exposed. You will corner them and leave them with nowhere to run. Right?
If they retaliate with all they have, we can’t possibly survive that. Don’t you think? Dad? Qinglai? Mom. Dad. If this had happened earlier, I would agree with you. But now, I disagree. I have worked in a law firm. I have heard about legal cases. The Wans have obviously violated the laws. Wan…
Wan Shantang might be powerful but he’s not above laws. I have seen those richer and more powerful than him lose a legal battle and have to pay up. Some violated the rules and were imprisoned. This is not something new. If bringing this to court means Xiuyu can go to university again,
Then we’ll do it. But it’s been so many years. Can Xiuyu still go back to university after the lawsuit? You know what? I… I’ll call Qingzhi. I’ll ask him to ask around. Yes. [Consultation Room] Xingfu. Mrs. Wan. This is Mr. Zhou. Hi, Mr. Zhou. This is an author from the city. He’s Wu.
Mr. Wu. Hi, doctor. Let me have a look. -Does it hurt? -My hand… My hand is fine. -Just a few scratches. -So your hand is fine? I twisted my ankle. You did? It hurts a lot. Left or right ankle? Right. The right one. Right leg. This part hurts. This part? It hurts.
-Yes. -And this part? This part is fine. I see. You know what? Let’s take an X-ray. If the bone isn’t affected, a short rest will do. If it is, then I’m afraid you have to head to the city. It’s too complicated for us. Oh. I… No need. You know, I know this osteopath.
He’s very talented. My son broke his arm when he was little and one nudge and push fixed it. Now, he’s as healthy as a horse. Don’t worry. Good then. I won’t have to leave. I can convalesce in the mountain. Right? And I can continue writing. I just have a question.
If the bone is affected, will osteopathy work? If it’s properly handled, then it could be an alternative. Take an X-ray first. -Okay. -Okay. It’s not too serious. I count on you, Mrs. Wan. Do give me the contact of the osteopath. [Li’s Grave] Mr. Wan. I found you at last.
Mr. Chu from the bank told me he couldn’t reach you. So he called me. Mr. Chu meant to tell you that the assessment was near. He wanted to know if we could take out more loans. He’d offer a better interest rate. You… Why did you come to visit your wife today?
Did something happen? Don’t ask me. It’s too shameful a tale. Shuqin. [Grave of Beloved Wife, Li Shuqin] Shantang is here to see you. The family is well. The village is also well. The children too. Don’t worry. Shantang misses you dearly. Let’s go. Where to? The greater the responsibility, the tougher the life.
Things haven’t been kind to you. Everything happens at the same time. Why don’t you take a break? It’s truly tough to live in this world. When I was poor, it was simple. I wasn’t so mentally exhausted. Back then, all of us were poor. We slept after we worked. We ate coarse grains
And brined vegetables. We drank plain water. More than ten people would sleep on a mattress. When we came back, we hit the hay. We thought of nothing nor did we have the time to. Now that we have the money, our mind starts running. We think of all things unscrupulous.
And can we go to sleep like that? We all want to live with dignity. All right. Stop overthinking. The soil is cold. Don’t sit here for too long. Let’s go. Talk to your wife. Come.
