Tiger Mom (虎妈猫爸)

Episode 7

Hubby, look.

Isn't this outfit nice?

It's the best-seller.

Let's get Qian Qian one.

Just buy what you see fit.

What's the matter?

I'm fine.

I know.

You feel bad that your parents can't go to South Korea, right?

This wouldn't have happened if Qian Qian attended school.

See? You're blaming me, right?

Both you and your mom sound the same when you mock me.

Do you know what Mom said to me?

She told me not to push Qian Qian so hard.

She'll have split personalities!

I almost talked back at her.

She set the terms, but she blames me for her breach of agreement?

You have to take a side today.

You can't always avoid all confrontations?

What side?

Yes! I stopped Qian Qian from attending school.

I made her stay home

but I never wanted her to fool around and play all day!

Luo Su, you're her dad. Aren't you worried about her?

I'm going to bed.

Come over here.

You...

Look at me.

You're not looking at me! Open up your eyes!

What are you doing?

Tomorrow, we'll sign Dad and Mom up for the trip to South Korea.

We'll pay for the trip.

Luo Su, you don't know, right?

I know how to manage relationships better than you.

As a daughter-in-law, I feel bad as well that your parents can't travel.

You might have to make a sacrifice.

Get your annual leave in advance.

You must take good care of Qian Qian while your parents are away.

If I use up my annual leave now what about spring break?

Treat it as an early spring break for Mom and Dad?

Sis, that toilet...

My eyes are sore again, Sis!

Sis, fix it when you're done!

It's so annoying with that chap around.

Sheng Nan, I keep thinking about it

and it's still best to refund that ticket.

That won't do!

You finally get to go on a romantic trip with Dad

to take days off and check out a different country.

What about Qian Qian?

Don't worry. I've discussed it with Luo Su.

We'll take turns to look after her.

Yes, you can both take turns.

At most, you get your brother to help you out.

But I'll say something mean.

Your brother doesn't think at all.

Your dad and I won't be at ease.

Mom, don't worry.

Even if you agree to let him look after Qian Qian, I won't.

How could I trust my brother?

All right, since you said so

let me think about it.

You both!

You're so lovey-dovey!

You seem like real mother and daughter!

- What have you been doing? - Planning the Korea trip.

See? You're still going, right?

Look at how filial she is.

- You're in such good fortune. - It's too expensive.

Mom, it's what I should do for you!

Look at how hard my mom works

so we definitely have to support her on her trip abroad.

Exactly! Look at her.

Aunties, please take good care of my mom on the trip.

- Thank you in advance. - No problem.

She has me.

All right, I'll go and pay for the trip.

- Really? - Of course, Mom!

It's quite expensive.

It's fine as long as you have fun.

Where can you find a child as filial as she is?

All right, all right!

Listen, I should be the one to pay for their trip.

Great. Now you took all the credit.

Don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining.

By the way, tell me

did my mom go around telling all the neighbors that you paid for their trip?

You got that right.

Are you taking my advice or not?

What about?

About going to Europe!

Give your husband a surprise!

That...

I've booked the ticket.

Really?

That's such a correct decision.

Luo Dan, that's the only thing that you've done right in the past ten years.

Come on. I'm hanging up.

This trade fair is the biggest we've ever done.

No mistakes are allowed!

None of the middle management is allowed to take days off.

You have to work overtime.

Don't worry, I'll be sure to reward everyone for your efforts.

But...

Hello?

Luo Su?

Wifey, there's an emergency.

A few Korean game designers are suddenly visiting our company.

What do you mean?

Listen, it's impossible for me to get any days off.

I mean... let's talk about it when we get home.

Hello?

General Manager Bi, don't always leave when the boss is concluding his speech.

That is the essence of the meeting.

Sorry about that.

I've said that all your efforts will be rewarded.

But at the same time, you can't let me down either!

If anyone wishes to quit, you can leave now!

Uncle, where are you hiding?

Where are you hiding?

Where are you hiding?

What are they playing?

Where are you hiding?

Where are you hiding? Are you hiding here?

You should know how good that company is.

My position is essential in the handover of engineers.

It's a great chance for me to learn from them.

There's no need to explain. You have my support.

- What about you? - It's impossible.

Unless I'm prepared to be fired.

Forget it. We'll be honest with Mom.

They can travel next time.

That won't do!

I already paid for their trip.

All the old ladies at her dance club knows that I paid for Mom's trip.

It will make me seem ungrateful.

That's true. It's obvious that you're taking the risk.

I already did.

It's just a few days anyway.

We'll let Bi Ran babysit.

It's best that nothing goes wrong.

Mommy, I can't find Uncle!

He said that he might hide outside.

Take me downstairs!

Would anyone play with kids like that?

He'd get Qian Qian lost when neither of us are at home!

Qian Qian, why don't we review your homework?

He'll show up if you don't go looking for him.

Just ignore him.

Stop playing now and go back to your room.

- I'll check on you later. - You'll let Bi Ran babysit her?

All right, I'm going to take the risk.

I'll take Qian Qian to work rather than have him babysit her.

Am I that frightening?

I'm her biological uncle and you made me sound like a human trafficker!

He scared me to death.

- Hurry! - Luo Dan.

You must tell your brother that

he has to take good care of Qian Qian.

She shouldn't run around outdoors.

She might be young, but she has all sorts of ideas.

You've said that five hundred times.

I definitely remember it. Don't worry.

You have to keep that in mind even if she said it hundreds of times.

Dad, why are you acting like her as well?

I'm acting like her?

If Sheng Nan makes her daughter stay up late to finish her homework

you have to inform me by phone.

Don't worry, I will.

Auntie and Uncle, let's get going.

Sorry about that!

You'd better leave now. Hurry up!

- Did you remember? - Yes I remembered it.

Is that too much to handle?

Not at all! Have fun!

- Have fun! - Go home.

- Drive slower. - Bye!

Thank you.

Why did you decide to let that untrustworthy guy babysit her?

What can I do? Luo Su and I are both busy at work.

Besides, I've set some rules for Bi Ran.

I reckon that he won't be able to play any tricks.

You let Bi Ran babysit Qian Qian? His name gives me the shivers.

You two are too bold! Seriously!

Mom? This is...

Hello?

- You're still lying to me? - I'm not!

- You're lying to me again. - No, I really didn't!

I heard it all. How can they let Bi Ran babysit her?

All right, you can go ahead.

- I'm going back with you. - Mom...

I'm going home to babysit Qian Qian.

- Auntie... - Don't hold on to me.

- I'm begging you! - I'm not going!

No, I'll quit the group tour.

If you don't go, no one else could go on the trip!

I have urgent matters at home!

Don't worry. I'll babysit her!

- All right? - Do as you promised!
