[English subtitles are available] [A Love for Dilemma] [Sponsored by Shanghai Cultural Development Foundation] [Culture & Art Salon] [Episode 16] Wait for me. Look at your stubborn temper. I told you before, if I knew that they were coming, I would never come with you. Yan Zi You’s mother is very resourceful.
-She’s worried for you as well. -She’s worried for me? She’s just worried about her son’s Elite Class. Zhong Yi, are you trying to make me angry on purpose? No, why would I do so? I’m sorry, it’s my fault. My attitude was bad just now. No matter what’s her intention,
You still need to resolve this matter, am I right? You still have a chance to salvage this. Wait, this isn’t something major. Ze Shu isn’t like Feng Fan Primary School. Ze Shu needs me to maintain their image and reputation. They won’t sack me. Even so, you shouldn’t treat your senior in that manner.
Look at what you’ve done just now. Maybe Yan Zi You’s parents are worried about their son’s tuition class. What about Huan Huan’s parents? They have no reason to be worried. They aren’t outsiders as well. That’s what I initially thought, but look at us now. It’s fine. Don’t worry.
I know you’re worried about me. But you see, even if Manager Cui wants to sack me, the parents won’t agree to it. Don’t worry. I won’t make it in time. I won’t wait for the bus with you. Send me a message when you reach there. I’ll take a cab. Stay safe, okay?
You better mind your words. Don’t worry. You better show them a good attitude. Alright! -Morning, Mr. Zhong. -Morning. Morning. Mr. Zhong. Morning. I’m here to pass a message. Tell me then. I need to go for my class soon. You don’t need to worry about the class for now.
-What do you mean? -Manager Cui wants me to tell you that the Elite Class has been suspended for now. I think it’s alright. Since Mr. Zhong is the best Elite Class teacher so far in Ze Shu. That’s great. If not, the other parents will be worried.
All the children are very active in that class. Yeah, maybe they’ll just ask a different teacher to teach them. That’s great to hear. -The children like… -Zi You’s mother. Ze Shu is a huge institution. The Elite Class that your son is in is their trademark. Why are they cancelling the class?
Look at the notice, it’s just suspended. It isn’t cancelled. We tried so hard in order for our child to get in the Elite Class. It’s all because we knew Mr. Zhong was the teacher of the class. It’ll be meaningless if they change their teacher now. Yeah, you’re right. Zi You’s mother,
I think you can find your relative to help us out. If she helps us out, maybe Mr. Zhong can still stay in the class. If not, it’ll be bad for everyone. Her child is in the Contest Prep Class. It doesn’t affect her that much. My goodness, how despicable could she be?
She’s making it so that no one will be able to attend the Elite Class all because her child couldn’t get in the class? You can’t think of it in that way. In my opinion, as parents, we should be flexible for the sake of our children.
You should ask your relative to help us out. I always thought that you have sense. I thought you were different from other organizations. In the end, you’re sacking me because of two stupid videos? -What do you mean by that? -What about the two videos?
Don’t you know how many times the videos have been shared? What has that got to do with me? -I’m framed! Brother, I beg you! Can you give me some time? Calm down, I’ll handle this. We can talk after I finish resolving the matter, okay? But you’re suspending my class!
-Do you know how many children… -Do you think I have a choice? Do you know how much money there is in that class? Money isn’t the problem here! The problem is their lesson! They won’t be able to resume their lesson! Do you know how many classes out there… Hello? What is it?
[It’s regarding Mr. Zhong.] [They suspended the Elite Class just now.] [Seems like this situation is much worse than we thought.] [Should we come out and discuss] [a way to help Mr. Zhong?] The Elite Class is still suspended? I’ve said everything I could. It’s useless for us to be anxious
When Mr. Zhong doesn’t want to state his stand. What else can we do? He didn’t know how serious it was before. But now, the situation is desperate. [This is a serious matter.] [Some parents might think this is nothing much,] [but some are very unsatisfied with him.] No matter what,
The matter would’ve been resolved if Mr. Zhong apologized to us. But he didn’t say anything at all. Isn’t that his stand? I believe in the fairness of education. This is not up to us. But, it’s meaningless for us to pursue this matter now. The Math Olympiad Cup will begin soon.
We need to resume Elite Class’s operation by hook or by crook. [The Elite Class will still be the same even after Mr. Zhong’s departure.] Ze Shu won’t ruin their trademark. They’ll find someone to replace him soon. He might even be better than him. Besides,
I didn’t think you got Zi You into the Elite Class because of Mr. Zhong. [Alright, I’m busy.] I’ll hang up now. Goodbye. Chao Chao. Chao Chao, go and check if your sister has finished her homework. You can play with her. -Time to find my sister! -Go now.
Huan Huan’s mother, do you want me to refill your cup? No thanks. Do you need anything? I’m not a cultured person. I’m not highly educated as well. But I still want to speak up for Mr. Zhong. Have a seat. Mr. Zhong is a great person. He’s especially good towards Tao.
Our family has no money nor status. We can’t afford to give him anything. Of course, I know Mr. Zhong doesn’t expect anything from us. Tao is a shy child. But she always spoke about how good Mr. Zhong was when she got home. How could a nice person like him torture a child?
This matter is still under investigation. If he’s innocent, we won’t frame him. Alright. I don’t know if I’m being too much, but since Zi You’s mother is so worried, can you just give her a chance and listen to what she has to say? Fine, I’ll listen to her on account of you.
Thank you. I’ll continue with my work then. You should eat more. -I… -It’s lunchtime. These are all of your favourites. You should stop wasting your effort. I’m on a diet. You’re on a diet? How about some salad? It’s healthy. Alright, thank you. Let me pour you some tea.
-This is healthy as well. -No thanks. It was my fault. You told me that Mr. Zhong is problematic, but I didn’t take heed of your advice. Zi You had to suffer because of my negligence. It’s not that. I was a busybody. I used your child as an excuse to vent my anger. I…
I was just trying not to embarrass myself. I know you were genuinely concerned about Zi You. I know you’re protecting him. I appreciate it. To be honest with you, it would’ve been fine if it were Mr. Chen. But when it comes to Mr. Zhong, I can’t do anything about it.
I really can’t do anything about it. Nan Li, your video is quite influential. Whoever started the trouble should end it. I was just thinking that maybe you could follow me and meet Manager Cui and see if there’s a way for us to resolve this misunderstanding.
Was I wrong in any part of my video? All of us are grown-ups. There’s no point in insisting on a clear distinction between right or wrong. In the end, it’s all about pros and cons, am I right? Look, this is the difference between us. You only look at the pros and cons
While I insist on the right and wrong. Just treat this as a favour from Zi You and I. At least Zi You is your nephew, am I right? Both of us are mothers. Can’t you just try to understand my feelings? Isn’t it the same for you? You said you were fine with everything,
Yet you still tried everything you could to send Huan Huan over there. Won’t you be worried when her grades drop as well? I’m afraid it’s different. You’re willing to do anything as long as Zi You is able to enter Han Lin. I won’t do that. I know their study is important,
But letting their child suffer for the sake of studying, and let the teachers scold them because of it? I can’t do it. We just have different perspectives. No matter if we want them to study hard and be successful or give them a happy childhood,
We just want the best for them, am I right? -Fine. -Uncle Nan, over here. -Li Li, you’re here already? -Waiter, I need extra utensils. -Have a seat. -Okay. I was late because I was waiting for the cab. Why are you here? Lan Lan said she was going to treat us to a meal.
Thank you. I’m sure you’re not here just to treat us to a meal. Did you call him here because of Mr. Zhong as well? You know your own temper. I just want Uncle Nan to help me persuade you. Your words do hold some weight at Ze Shu.
Why do you need me when you can get your son in by yourself? We didn’t enter the Elite Class for nothing. I did help Huan Huan to get in the Contest Prep Class as well. We need to help each other, am I right? Uncle Nan, help me persuade Nan Li.
It’s hard for Zi You to get into the Elite Class, you know? Now, it’s going to be cancelled. I just want Li Li to speak up for us. -Li Li, if it’s something easy… -Nothing’s easy in this world. This belongs to our generation. Our children are none of your business.
He’s so old and weak now. Can’t you see? Everyone is just trying to benefit themselves. Only your family truly cares for you. Outsiders won’t care for you. I’m just anxious. I need to try everything out for the sake of my son. I’m willing to do anything for him.
Why don’t you go there by yourself then? You know that you’re doing this for your son’s sake. What gives you the right to manipulate others for his sake? Wait, Nan Li. I really don’t want to say this. But we’ve been a family for some time.
Zi You is your nephew and his grandson as well. But when I ask for your help, I become an outsider? So, am I your family only when you need me to serve you? Everyone chooses their own path in life. You need to follow the path you’ve chosen.
If you don’t know your limit and exceed it, it shows that you’re greedy. And people will look down on you. Nan Li! I need to use the washroom. If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now. Thanks for the meal. I didn’t mean to say that! Dad, come here!
Get in the car! I’ll send you back! It’s fine! I can take the bus! You can go to work! Hurry up! I can’t stop here for long! Hurry. I told you to be on your way. I can… It’s fine. How did you know I was waiting at the bus stop?
You were always like this. You’ll try to escape when you meet a problem you can’t solve. She said she was going to treat us to a meal. I was thinking that it has been a long time since we had a meal together. I thought it was a great idea. That’s why I came.
I didn’t think too much. I wouldn’t have come if I knew this would happen. Does Tian Yu Lan want you to seek for other people’s help? It’s all because of the child. If she discussed the matter with me sincerely, I might be able to help her out for the sake of Zi You.
But, she had to call you out here. She had to create this awkward scene. She even wanted you to seek help from other people. I hate it when she pretends to be smart. I heard that Mr. Zhong was sacked twice. I’m sure he has a problematic personality.
We can’t allow him to do whatever he wants. We didn’t have our lunch just now. Let’s go and have something to eat. I’ll skip that. The food outside is too oily for me. I can’t digest them. I’ll have lunch at home. [You don’t care for the child’s mental health at all.]
[That’s definitely a no.] Isn’t this… [It doesn’t mean that they have no opinion when they keep quiet.] -Yan, take a look. -What’s wrong? Hurry. What’s wrong? Look. Isn’t this Nan Li? -Look. -I think so. Is she talking about Ze Shu? Isn’t that Zi You’s tuition centre? How could this happen?
Yeah, I recognized the place. I sent the tables and chairs to them before. It’s lucky that we sent them the tables and chairs. I’m sure they’ll take care of our grandson. Of course they should. [Hello, everyone.] [Here’s the next episode of the teacher’s argument.] [Ze Shu is cruel indeed.]
[Last time, a boy with the surname Yan] [was chased out of the Elite Class by his teacher.] A boy with the surname Yan? Our family’s surname is quite rare. The Elite Class only has nine students including Zi You. Who else can it be besides our grandson?
We’ll be done after we install the roof. We’re finally done! I’m a strong man! Strong man, you need to hold the roof. Chao Chao, come out. Come out. -You’re back? -Mum! Mum! Mum, take a look! Look at the small house that Dad has made for us! That’s amazing. Mum, join us.
Let me change my clothes first. Alright then. Don’t tear down the house. Come out now. They send a message in the parents’ group. Both Zhong Yi and Mr. Chen were sacked. Zhong Yi was sacked twice within half a year. I guess it’ll be hard for him to find a job in the future.
No matter what, he’s still my junior. But I harmed him indirectly. How could you say so? He should’ve learned his lesson after he was sacked by Feng Fan Primary School. I think he didn’t change his attitude at all. Why don’t we go to Ze Shu and plead for his sake?
Your words do hold some weight in front of Manager Cui. Wait, why are you trying to interfere? Was he framed? He’s a young man. We need to give youngsters a chance. But it’s different when you work as a teacher. It’s okay for him to make mistakes,
But the children will have to bear the consequences, you know? It’ll never end if keeps repeating this. Do you think I’m wrong? You’re right. You’re right in everything. Are you blaming me now? You think that I’m too merciless? And that I should plead for his sake? And I should take back my words?
And ask my father to seek help from other people in order to help him? Did I say that? Besides, what has this got to do with Dad? Dad, Mum, you guys are here? If we didn’t come, our grandson would’ve been bullied until no end. What are you saying? So… Zi You,
You should go to your room and finish your homework. Go and do your homework. Mum, what’s wrong? We’ve made so many tables and chairs for the tuition centre all just because we hope that his teacher can bully him? We didn’t expect him to take great care of him,
But how dare he scold him? Dad, you should calm down for now. Where’s Tian Yu Lan? My grandson was bullied until this extent. -How could she ignore him? -Of course she’s not ignoring him. He’s her own son. When her mother told her about it, Lan Lan was so anxious.
She would’ve fought with him if I didn’t stop her. Why did you stop her? You should let them settle their debts. Mum, how could I do so? You weren’t there when it happened. Tian Yu Lan was so agitated that she took a knife. It’s lucky that I stopped her and prevented a tragedy.
-That’s too much. -You’re lying. I know you’re not telling the truth. She did so much in order to send her son to the Elite Class. It’s impossible for her to fight with him. But Mum, she was angry. Enough already. Don’t worry. We’ve spoken with Ze Shu about this.
And, you guys better don’t reprimand Lan Lan later. If she’s offended, she’ll take it out on me. You’re so useless. She’s back. Let’s stop now. You’re back? My parents just arrived as well. I greeted them already. -Dad, Mum. -You’re back? Have you two had dinner? We had dinner already. Lan Lan.
It’s like this. Zi You is still young. His classes, his teachers, and the people he faces every day, you should take note of them. Of course, Peng Peng explained it to me already. I know you’re doing everything for the child’s sake. I’m just reminding you to be extra careful next time, understood? Dad,
No matter if it’s a black cat or a white cat, it’s a great cat if it’s able to catch rats. I know fully well how Mr. Zhong is like. Lan Lan, I’m not objecting to the fact that you’re focusing on your son’s study, but letting him suffer for the sake of studying?
As his grandparents, we can’t accept that. If you want him to procure a good result, he has no choice but to suffer. What do you mean by that? Who said you can let our grandson suffer in silence in order to get a good grade? Mum, stop it already. It’s not that.
I’m his mother. Do you think I’ll do nothing while people bully him? Don’t worry, I know what to do. -What are you doing? -I think you have no idea what to do. I told you we shouldn’t be that strict on him when we’re this wealthy. He’s still young. He’s so pitiful.
He can’t even play football. I knew you came from a poor family, and you’ll never be able to change your poor nature. Why are you saying that? Parents are the guardians of their child. Regarding my son’s education, just leave it to me. You two don’t need to be worried.
I don’t like what you’re saying. You’re disposing of us now that you’ve finished using us? You didn’t say that when you begged me to make all those tables and chairs. -Dad, why are you… -We’ve been paying for Zi You’s food, shelter, medical expenses and so on since young.
Now, you don’t want us to be worried about him? Dad, that’s not what I mean. Don’t forget that his surname is Yan. He’s the grandson of Yan family. So, we need to be concerned about him. We need to do whatever we can. No matter what, he’s our grandson.
You used up so much of our money, and now, you want to flip the table? -Are you done? -Let your mother finish her words! Speak up then! It’s useless for you to flaunt your superiority. It’s only useful when you’re capable enough to make a living by yourself.
You think that you’re great by renting a house outside and you’re able to make a living on your own? If we didn’t help you out with the rent, -do you think you can afford it? -Blame your son for being useless. Sometimes, I don’t know if I’m married to Yan Peng,
-or I’m married to the entire family. -Dear! Peng Peng! I feel uncomfortable! -What’s wrong? -Ever since your mother knew about this, her blood pressure has been increasing. Just let her lie down then. -Come back! -Fine. Lie down. Do you feel better? I couldn’t poop. It still hurts.
As if something is blending my stomach. But the medicine… Don’t sit here. Go and lie down. You need to give the medicine some time for it to be effective. Come. What did you eat outside? That has nothing to do with this. It’s because my body can’t stand it anymore. My organs
Go haywire from time to time now. I’m barely surviving. This is… I’m barely surviving. What’s the meaning of living like this? There’s no quality in life. I would rather die. Nonsense, touch wood. Don’t spout nonsense. Come, lie down. -I’ll lie down. -Everyone will get sick at some point. Come, be careful.
I’ll give you a water bag. Hold it. -You’ll be fine later. -Alright. Okay. Lan Lan? What’s wrong? Did you argue with Yan Peng? Don’t you plan to let me in? Hurry, come on in. Come in. Please be quiet. Your Uncle Nan is asleep. Come. Do you feel better?
You should go to the hospital if it’s still the same. This son is useless indeed. He’s helping his wife in everything. Stop it already. You said your wife was going to fight with Ze Shu? What a load of nonsense. Look at her.
She’s not affected by it at all. She’s speaking up for the teacher as well. How could we just step out of this affair? Enough already. Stop being angry, okay? Come, Mum. Put this under your tongue. Be careful. How do you feel? I’ll tell Yu Lan later, okay? You feel better, right?
They’re too much. How could they speak to their daughter-in-law like that? They’re bullying you because you came from a poor family? They are the boss when they’re rich and wealthy. They’re right. We have no choice but to bow down when we aren’t that capable.
That’s why I’m trying my best to help Zi You in his study. I can only be proud once he’s successful. Lower your volume. Don’t worry. Our Zi You will surely be successful. Stop crying. Can I stay here for a few days? Sure, you can stay here. It’s…
I don’t know what’s wrong with him. His stomach has been hurting for the entire day. You should quiet down. Is he having a stomachache again? Did he take his medicine? I thought the medicine was working? It was working just now. He just fell asleep. So, I’ll sleep in that room? Wait a moment.
I gave him some oral rehydration salts. If not, he’ll be dehydrated. I think I’ll sleep in the study room. Find me a mattress and blanket. That’ll work as well. Wait a moment. His body is weak. I’m afraid he’ll fall down when he walks around. Where’s the blanket? -I forgot about it. -Forget it.
-I should just leave. -Don’t leave. He’s already asleep. Just forget it. Lan Lan, there are no overnight feuds between couples. Yan Peng listens to you usually. You guys should talk this out in private. It’ll be fine once you talk it out, am I right? Oh yeah, your Uncle Nan brought back some grapes.
I’ll bring some for you and Zi You. Lan Lan? Lan Lan? Zhong Yi! Zhong Yi! Zhong Yi! Zhong Yi! Open the door! I won’t leave until you open the door! Welcome. Hello, do you have any vacant rooms? The normal room is RMB 499 while the deluxe room is RMB 699.
Do you have any discounts? -I’m sorry, we don’t. -Alright then. Give me the cheapest room. [Dear, where are you? Please return soon. Zi You is still waiting for you.] [He said he needs your signature for his homework.] [And, where are his sport shoes? I couldn’t find them.]
[Dear, please come back soon. The house is a mess without you.] When I was studying, let’s not talk about our exam results. Even when I’m in class, if I commit any mistake, my teacher will hit my palm with a ruler.
And my hand will be so swollen that I couldn’t even hold a bowl. You know that? Even so, my parents will go to the school and thank my teachers. They’ll thank them for teaching me. What’s wrong with children nowadays? Can’t I just scold them? It’s because the current concept of education
Is different from the past concept. I went to find Manager Cui and I’ve seen the CCTV footage. I will never say something like that to a child. It’s because you weren’t in my shoes. Can’t you just think about my feelings? Now, there’s an extra person in the class.
And I need to maintain their standards. What should I do? That Yan Zi You, it’s just a simple question, yet he couldn’t understand even when I’ve repeated it so many times. Not everyone is like Mi Tao. Not everyone can understand me in one go.
You can only scold a student like Yan Zi You. It’s fine as long as he gets good grades, am I right? All of their parents are smiling and licking my boots after they see their child’s result. But now, I’m hated by everyone because of this? -I don’t understand at all. -As teachers,
We’re facing a bunch of young children. They’re still very fragile. Your every word, your every action, even your expression may cause them trauma, you understand? Of course we understand how fragile they are. We were children before, am I right? Now, we’ve grown up to be mature adults. We’re still grateful towards
Our strict teachers and elders, am I right? I’m very grateful to them right now. You knew that it was your fault. They’re so young. They’re trying their best to learn. They’re not there for you to insult, scold or punish them. They’re not there to suffer. Don’t try to lecture me.
Everyone knows how to lecture people. Fine, I won’t lecture you. You should check your conscience and ask yourself then! Did you treat Yan Zi You like that because of your personal feud? Did you do all of that to that poor child because you have grudges against his mother?
If you follow the rules and be a good teacher, nobody will be able to harm or frame you. You still think you’re right? I beg you! You can do anything! But, please don’t blame my child! Our child has never experienced such humiliations before! -He’s too much. -Yeah.
How could a teacher like him exist? Tell me. Yes! I do hate her! I’m venting out my anger on Yan Zi You! What’s wrong with that? I’m a human! I’m not a machine! I have feelings as well! I’m the one who’s suffering! Why should I bear the suffering myself? Fine, let’s…
Let’s put it this way. Even if it’s my fault, even if it were my fault, what about the things I’ve done in the past? What about the students I’ve taught, the questions I’ve made, the classes that I’ve taught, and the things that I’ve done, is everything I did wrong?
Of course you can have feelings. But first, you’re a teacher. Mi Tao, why are you here? My mother is downstairs. She told me to send the buns she had made to Mr. Zhong. Come, sit over here. The buns are huge. So delicious. Thank your mother for me when you get back. Mr. Zhong,
My mother didn’t tell me to say this. I want to say this myself. I think you’re the best teacher in the world. You’re the best of the best. I… I need to use the washroom.
