Dear, Mom / 我的寶貝四千金 / Wo De Bao Bei Si Qian Jin

Episode 13

Yi Wan, feeling better?

Didn't you promise not to tell anyone about me crying?

Why did you tell Du Xiao Fei?

Because he bullied you.

I had to get even for you.

Even though I don't know what happened between you

I know he is the cause.

He's the man, so he should apologize.

Here you go again.

I'm begging you.

Don't make decisions for me like you did before, okay?

I am afraid you'd be taken advantage of.

Why do you think I would be taken advantage of?

Do you think I am incapable of taking care of my own problems?

Or do you think I'm not smart enough?

You are my sister, I would not treat you poorly.

I mean well.

Right, you do know I am your older sister.

From now on, remember that a younger sister

should not meddle in her older sister's business!

Yi Wan...

Are you okay?

Boss, I have some private matters to attend to tonight.

I may not be able to work overtime today.

It's okay.

Didn't I tell you not to work overtime if you don't need to?

I don't want my employees to focus on just their work and forget about life.

Spend more time with your family.

Jerry, today at school, your teacher will teach you about fruit.

So you will be able to eat many pieces of fruit.

Do you know what to tell your teacher?

You have to say thank you, and eat every piece of fruit she gives you, okay?

No problem.

All right.

We can go out as soon as you change your shoes.

- Okay, let's go! - Let's go!

What do you tell your grandma?

Grandma, bye bye.

Mom, we are going!

Wait!

Hold on, An Qing.

Wait, I need to ask you about Mr. Chen's thing.

Did you ask him?

Mr. Chen? I haven't told him yet.

Is it inconvenient or... is it troublesome?

I'm a bit shy. I'm actually not that close with him.

I am too embarrassed to call him directly.

So I thought, I'll ask when I run into him.

That's true. If that's the case, you must ask him when you run into him.

We must ask, okay?

Mom.

I think it's a bit troublesome to ask them to reserve a chunk of time for us.

I don't think we need to treat them dinner to show our thanks.

There are many other ways, right?

I know what you mean. I know dinner is troublesome.

Mom thinks that modern people

don't value our traditional customs.

Old customs are important. It is an exchange of feelings between people.

See, I know it's troublesome to treat them dinner.

But we will be sitting across from each other.

This is an intimate interaction through eye contact, good will and body language.

If we buy a gift, no matter how expensive, can't talk. It's a cold object.

So we must treat them to dinner in order to express our gratitude.

Go ask him.

All right, got it.

- I'll let you know when I find out. - Yes, tell me ahead of time.

I need time to prepare. Don't make me embarrass myself.

I know.

What do you say now?

Grandma, bye bye.

Little Star, kiss goodbye.

All right, let's go now.

- Okay. - We are going to be late. We'll go now.

- Be careful on your way. - Okay.

Come here, leave the slippers with grandma.

Go put your shoes on, go.

Let's go.

We are going.

Take care of the kid. Bye.

Bye bye.

- Don't forget to ask! - Got it!

An Qing!

When did you discover this rooftop?

I wanted to find a quiet place for lunch so I discovered this place.

- Enjoy then. - All right.

- Did you only bring a sandwich for lunch? - Yes.

You should eat more nutritious food.

It's tough to take care of a kid on your own.

Thanks.

Qi Le.

I...

By the way, is everything all right with Jerry after he came back?

He's fine. Thank you for caring.

What about you? Are you getting used to working here?

I am becoming very well adjusted here.

It just seems I give you too much to worry about.

Don't say that.

Friends should help each other out. You helped me eight years ago.

You need me now, and I won't step aside and not help.

- So don't be overly polite to me, okay? - Thanks.

But...

I have a big favor to ask, I don't know if you can help me.

Don't hold back, just tell me.

I'm glad you and Mr. Du helped find my son so fast.

When my mom found out, she insisted I invite you to our home to for dinner.

She would like to cook the meal herself and thank you and Mr. Du.

Of course, no problem. I'm only available tonight.

- Is tonight convenient? - It shouldn't be a problem.

- Then sorry to trouble you. - Not at all.

Is there anything else?

I...

We should get the story straight, right?

Is there anything else?

I...

We should get the story straight, right?

I can't mention you selling your watch. I can't talk about you working at the gym.

And I can't mention your current marital status, right?

How do you know all that?

You seem mysterious, but are actually pretty transparent.

I'm sorry. Sorry to make you lie for me.

It's okay, it's your personal matter and I respect your decision.

- I'll go take a look at the store. - Okay.

The phone...

It's An Qing.

Hello, An Qing? What is it?

I asked Mr. Chen. He says he should be free tonight.

Really? This is great. Tonight?

It's a little rushed, but don't worry.

It won't be a problem

for an experienced housewife like your mother.

It's all set then.

You do your thing.

I'll call Yi Wan and ask her how it is with Mr. Du, okay? Bye bye...

Calling Yi Wan now.

Why is she not answering?

What's wrong with Yi Wan?

She's not picking up.

Right, she can't pick up her phone in class.

It's okay.

I'll text her and let her know. I'm going grocery shopping now.

My shopping bag.

- Beautiful wife. - You are back.

- You are going out? - I'm going grocery shopping.

An Qing called and told me Mr. Chen is coming for dinner tonight.

I have to go to the market.

You should've told me earlier, I was just at Zhao's place.

If you had told me, I would've invited Zhao and Yu Hang as well.

It's best when everyone comes.

You have been kissing up to Yu Hang recently, don't think I didn't notice it.

I'm sure it has something to do with those organic vegetables.

Kissing up?

We are two experts exchanging information.

But seriously, Yu Hang is a true expert, he knows so much.

It's a shame to not dig it out from him. I'm just putting it out there.

I won't stop you from doing anything, but just don't borrow any money.

And then invest it in some business with random people.

- What business is there? - Don't worry, I won't.

Go grocery shop now. It's noon already.

All right, you are the one that interrupted with all the talking.

- Remember what I said, okay? - All right.

Don't do any of that nonsense with starting a business.

- Come back soon. - I know.

Buy a lot for our guests.

I know, you glutton.

Hello. A Niu? This is Guang.

Let me tell you something, I found an expert at growing organic vegetables.

I mean it. He knows everything about everything, he's great.

Come on in.

I'm telling you. You are eating dinner with us tonight.

At the same time, I need you to tell my beautiful wife.

Help me persuade her.

Let her know my work with organic vegetables can only be profitable. Okay?

Sit here, and I'll get a glass of water for you.

Wait, Guang.

I finally get the time to fix the plants ruined by the underwear thief.

And you drag me up for this?

Please, flowers don't yell when they're stomped upon.

Let the flowers wait, okay?

No, Guang, this isn't about whether they hurt.

It's about order.

Why don't you let me fix the garden first and come back to chat with you later?

No, that won't work. In business, we must seize every second.

Money has four legs but humans only have two legs.

If we act too slowly, money will be gone. I'm all set, except for one thing.

- One thing? - Yes.

I already found the land. I need you, the expert, to help us now.

If you are willing to join us, we will be rolling in money in no time.

Green bills will start to roll in.

No, Guang, it's not that simple. Do you have a marketing strategy?

What strategy?

Marketing strategy is about advertising and promotion.

Don't people buy them as soon as we plant the seeds?

No, of course not.

Look at the expensive organic fruits and vegetables online and in the markets.

They have high standards. You have to be certified in organic foods.

Other than having strict standards for pesticide

your biggest problem is, how are you going to sell it?

It's this complicated? Why did I not know this?

Of course you didn't know.
