Like a Flowing River

~ Episode 36 ~

What good food did you bring from your mother's house?

What is this?

What's wrong? I'm talking with you.

Let me ask you first. Where did you go?

Checking if I'm in my post?

With your attitude,

I won't tell you.

Where did you go?

I went with Old Wang to discuss a business deal.

How could we let everyone in the market know?

Old Wang? What deal?

Old Wang closed a deal with a state-run coal mine.

The buyer is requesting a huge amount of goods and he doesn't have enough capital.

He wants to make a deal with us and owe us some electric cables first.

- No way. - You think I'm stupid?

I immediately rejected him. I told him, "No way!"

Hey, did he deliberately talk with me about this matter while you're not around

because he thinks I'm stupid and easily bullied?

What happened next?

Afterwards, I gave him a slap then some sweet dates,

belittle him a little then lift him up.

Anyway, I just did some of your tricks.

Afterwards, he was out of ammunition.

He'll introduce to me the person in-charge of the coal mine,

while I help him increase the price.

He'll be doing this business with us.

Then...have you seen that person in-charge of the coal mine?

Or else, what have I been doing this whole day?

I've been drinking with him from noon to 4 pm.

And then?

And then, I've settled the price.

The price we closed is way higher than what Old Wang wanted.

You're so great, Xiao Feng.

What? Not jealous anymore?

I never get jealous.

What's the price?

Removing the production cost and logistics fee,

we still have 3 1/2% profit.

That high?

They...won't be dragging the payment, right?

They are a state-run coal mine.

How could they delay payment for goods?

Also, we've agreed to put everything in the contract.

That within 3 months, they must settle this account.

You are so great.

How about this? From now on, you go out and do the business deals,

I'll raise the kids for you. I'll feed them milk.

Cook for you. Is that okay?

You wish.

Oh, right, you must rush Brother Dong for his payment this time. We have to buy a lot of goods.

Just putting all our money in will only just be enough.

Put everything in?

We can't. I promised my mother

that I will pay Brother Lei immediately once I get the money.

Are you dragging me down?

Why would I do that?

No... This...

In business, one must have honesty.

Isn't it? I've personally told Brother Lei

that I'll pay him back immediately once I get the money.

Isn't Brother Lei a village secretary? Their village has so many businesses.

He has a house and a land. You think he'll be short of money for emergency needs?

No. Those businesses, house, and lands are not his private properties.

When I went to visit Brother Lei this time,

he doesn't even have enough money to buy Brother Xiao Hui a refrigerator.

I didn't say that we're not paying him back. Just delaying it by 2 more months.

Once the coal mine pay us, we'll pay him back.

At most, just give him some interest.

Fine. But...

Brother Lei is a chivalrous person

and easy to talk too. That...

I've promised my mother.

I never broken any promise I made to my mom.

Yang Xun! I never hid anything from you!

After just knowing you for 8 days, I've already followed you to here from Dongbei.

Tell me, have I lived any good days this past year?

I wake up early and go home late everyday. Working hard everyday.

After suffering that, I still have...to drink with other people. Tell me, why am I doing all these?

All that is worth nothing compared to a word from your mother, is that it?

Calm down. Calm down.

Let me tell you that you and my mother are the two people I love the most in this life.

- Stop right there. - It's true. - Your mother won't even let me enter your family.

That's not true. When I went back this time, my mother told me

that after Yang Su get into a technical school, I should invite you back and she'll cook you some good dishes.

I don't believe you.

It's true!

Oh, right. Wait a while.

¥2,000. My mother gave it to me. She said that it's for your grandparents.

Take it. Don't be shy.

Okay already. Okay. already. Move a little.

What about that business deal?

We'll just miss out on it?

Go for broke. We must do this deal.

3,5% profit...

I'll explain it to Brother Lei.

He probably can understand.

That's more like it.

Did you thank your mother for me?

I did. Of course, I did.

But regarding this business deal, we must hide it from my mother first.

Sure.

Slowly.

Quickly get up! Are there still any? Quickly get up!

Quickly come in.

Sit down, child. Sit. Hurry and sit.

Come.

You must be thirsty.

Quickly drink some water. Sit down first.

- Quickly sit. - Thank you, auntie. I can do it by myself.

Here, have some apples.

- I love eating apples the most. Thank you, uncle. - Drink some water.

Okay.

- Candies. - Eat. - Okay...

These candies were even brought by Dongbao

during the new year.

It's quite hard to open.

- Quickly have a taste. - Okay. I'll eat it now.

That Lei Dongbao...

I gave him this from Germany. How come he gifted it to our family instead?

You didn't bring Little Cheng any?

Auntie, don't blame him.

I don't like eating candies.

- You don't like eating them? - No...

Then...eat the fruits.

Eat some apples.

Dad, mom, I'm hungry.

Look at me, I kept on just talking.

The ingredients are prepared. I'll go make them now.

- Quickly go. - Just sit. - Okay.

Eat some fruits.

I'll go too to help out.

- That child is so pretty. - Yes.

Quickly go cook.

Okay, spit it out. If you don't like to eat it, don't force yourself.

It's delicious. You know that I love eating candies.

I know. Our kitten

likes to eat whatever I feed her.

I am too nervous. Did I say anything wrong earlier?

It's fine. My parents love you a lot.

Relax. Treat this as your own home.

Oh, no! Oh, no!

Uncle! Auntie!

That...why do I help you out with the chores?

No need. No need. Quickly go rest.

It's really fine.

- I usually help my mother wash and prepare vegetables. - No. No.

It's really fine.

Sorry, uncle!

Look at that, husband! How could you fill that with so much water. How can it not spill?

It's my fault. It's my fault.

- I...am fine. - Good child, quick.

- This place is too messy. It's not a place that you should stay. - Right. Right. Hurry.

- I want to help out! - Go inside and have a chat.

- I really... - I know. You sit there. Eat some fruits.

Mom, you go cook. I'll accompany her.

Okay. Okay. Quickly sit there and rest for a while.

I'll go wash some more fruits for you.

Quickly go. Quickly go.

- Hurry. Hurry. - Okay. Okay.

What are you doing?

Did your parents instruct you beforehand to help do some chores in our house?

It's me who wants to do them. You're laughing at me again.

Okay. Okay. I won't laugh.

Our kitten is hardworking, virtuous, and capable.

Before leaving home, my mother indeed gave such instructions.

She said that I must be more hardworking and find something to do.

This way...my in-laws will like me more.

You being like this is just going to make them more nervous.

When I'm at home, I don't do anything.

How could they bear to let you do anything?

Is that true?

Tireless Song Yunhui also has moments of being lazy?

I must tell this to my parents,

so they would stop staying that I'm spoiled.

Maybe, the youngest child in the family

would usually get spoiled.

Kitten, after eating later, accompany me to visit my sister.

Okay.

Xiao Hui.

Go talk with sister. I won't be noisy.

Sister,

I was busy with work this past year and wasn't able to come visit you.

Now,

I brought Kitten to visit you.

Father and mother have both seen her. They all like her. She's like you,

very kind and very beautiful.

I frequently mentioned you to her.

I told her that if you're still here, you two will surely get along very well.

When we go back, she and I will register our marriage.

You can be at ease now.

Sister,
