All in 700 (700歲旅程 / 700 Sui Lu Cheng)

Shu Qin, biological mother? - Episode 27 -

Why did I never hear you mention this?

I was adopted since I was very little.

This is not where I was born.

Sorry.

I never told you this.

It's not a problem.

Eh, why do we do this?

I can accompany you to return for a visit, okay?

It's very far. We don't have to go.

Eh, Xin Yue, let's turn back.

Aiyo. I am feeling dizzy from sitting in the car.

I want to throw up.

Ah, want to throw up?

Eh, here is a plastic bag. And also some medicine if you want.

Aiyo, no, no need.

My headache is getting worse.

Ah, I say let's go back.

Xin Yue, let's turn around.

Headache?

Eh, here is some green oil essence. Do you want to put some on?

Aiyo, why do you have everything?

Aunt Shu Qin, Uncle is taking such good care of you.

You can just settle down and return without any concerns.

How...how am I worried?

Ah, it's best that you are not worried.

We will all be here with you.

It's fine. It will be fine.

We will just go back to take a look.

Okay?

Okay.

Aunt Shu Qin, why don't you just go to knock on the door directly?

That's right.

Just knock on the door, instead of sneaking a peek.

Others would think we are burglars.

Hey, what are you talking about?

How could there be so many old thieves?

Or let's get a representative to knock?

I can go.

No, no, no.

It's all right.

Shu Qin.

Don't get nervous.

You can just go.

We stay here to support you.

Mmm.

Eh, whom are you looking for?

Excuse me.

I am looking for Lai Su May.

Lai Su May?

I am she.

And you are...?

Shu Qin.

This is my husband.

Huh...

These

are all my good friends, as well as good neighbors.

Chao Huang.

She is my sister.

How are you?

Eh...

Shu Qin.

Did you come back to see mother?

Mom,

I came back.

Are you happy?

When mom was sick,

she really missed you.

She wanted to find you.

At the time she was passing away,

she was thinking of you.

When mom was leaving,

did she suffer?

No.

It wasn't too painful.

However, when she was leaving,

she kept repeating your name.

I am so unfilial.

No.

You were given away when you were little.

It's normal not to have contacts.

It's rare that you visit.

You all should stay for dinner.

It's not necessary.

Sister, there are so many people.

It's too troublesome.

Another day.

When I have a chance, I will come back again.

Okay.

Then come over here.

Shu Qin, this is the Caozaiguo (snack made of glutinous rice) I made myself.

Take this with you.

You can eat it during your trip.

Thank you.

Take care of your health.

Right.

I think I should give this letter to you.

What is this?

Mom didn't know how to write.

She asked our youngest sister to write it for her.

Take it and read it when you have time.

I will be back when I have time.

Bye.

Shu Qin, come on. Mom will clean your face.

Clean the hands as well.

Mom, but I have not finished my drawing yet.

Don't draw anymore. Mom is going out with you.

Where are we going?

A while back, weren't there a lady who came to see you at home?

You can go to live with her, okay? - No, I don't want to. Why do I want to live with her?

Because the lady doesn't have any child.

She really likes you, and so from today on, you will go to her house and be her child.

I don't want to. If so, when can I come back?

You can't come back anymore.

You should listen to what I said.

You have to be good in someone else's home. They will naturally like you.

I don't want to. I don't want to live at the lady's home.

I won't talk back.

I won't tip over the big tea pot again.

I won't ask to eat eggs either. Mom, don't give me away...

Shu Qin.

You are still little. You don't understand. - I don't want to.

I don't want to. I don't want to. - You will understand when you grow up.

Mom, you said that I would understand when I grew up.

I am old now.

Why don't I understand any of this?

Let's leave.

Shu Qin, with this opportunity to come back here, don't you want to look around a bit?

My mom is no longer here. Even I am here, she couldn't see it anyway.

Don't you want to open and read the letter your mother gave you?

Not that I don't want to,

I just thought that I have lived to this age.

Mother left before I.

This is also possible.

However,

I haven't asked her yet.

Why did she give me away?

There are so many sibling. Why did she give me away?

Should we all have a look around?

I know there is a nearby place called "Green Tunnel"

and nicknamed as "Amazon in Taiwan." If we go now, maybe we can see the sunset.

Oh, such a good place! Then let's go.

Shu Qin, you have always been, since little,

skinnier than others, and shorter.

Even the big tea pot of boiled water,

you can't even lift it.

Mother is really worried.

How are you going to learn to dry salt in the future?

Your dad and mom are in this line of work.

I make our living at the mercy of the Heaven.

We don't have enough to eat,

and won't starve either.

Everyone suffers so much hardship.

Seeing this, mother feels so terrible about it.

Your adopted mother's family was more comfortable.

She said that she wanted a daughter,

someone like you, so clever and well-behaved,

, and someone who she can talk to.

Mother thought that giving you to her

will give a better chance to have an easier life.

I didn't realize after I gave you to her,

I couldn't ever see you again.

Ah Ma, what are you looking at?

I am concerned about Shu Qin.

Aunt Ah Hao, let them be together by themselves for a while.

Now I finally understand.

It's not that I am better than the eldest sister,

or I was prettier than my younger sister so that she gave me away.

Mother, I am sorry. I came back too late.

You have to remember what my mother looked like. You have to show me her photos.

Look at him.

It's cool. It used...

Eh, do you know that

it's a tomb of Dutch's bones.

Right.

In that period, Zheng Cheng Kung was battling the Dutch.

The Dutch lost and left Taiwan.

The local resident built this tomb to collect their corpses.

The people in Taiwan are very kind-hearted.

Shu Qin, here.

This caozaiguo is for you. Hurry and put it away.

I know you like to eat this. I was worried others would finish it off.

I took one more.

It's still warm.

Of course. I kept it tucked in here.

Hot.

Shu Qin, you have to watch and learn carefully.

When you get married, you have to know how to make it yourself. Others will laugh at you if otherwise.

Making this is so tiring and troublesome.

Mom, you always suffer from pain every time you make this.

Do you think everyone has such an easy life like you?

You have to remember to eat more when there is food

so that you will grow up well and unable to keep up with others, understand?

I understand.

It's this taste.

Shu Qin, stop crying.

Mother has already prayed to the gods to bless you when you go to your adopted parents,

you will be well liked and cared for.

Mom, why are you crying yourself?
