[English subtitles are available] [A Love for Dilemma] [Sponsored by Shanghai Cultural Development Foundation] [Culture & Art Salon] [Episode 31] You found her? That’s great news. Is she okay? Lan Lan, where are you guys right now? Give me your address. I’ll be there immediately. Lan Lan, your mother… What were you doing?
It’s raining so heavily outside. You came here instead of going home? Lan Lan and I were very worried about you, you know? Home? Where’s my home? What are you saying? Enough, you should follow me home. From now on, I’ll give you my retirement fund. I’ll give you whatever I have.
I’ll listen to you for everything as well. We’ve been married for so many years. Why are you acting like this? You want to ignore me now? I’ve been caring for you for over 10 years. Now, I can’t even afford to take care of myself. You can.
There are no overnight feuds between married couples. You should return home with me. Let’s keep everything the same, okay? Do you know how hard it is for me without you at home? I was leading a terrible life. It’s not that I don’t want to live with you. But I’ve finally understood
What’s happening between us. When you’re sick, you need me to serve you. But when you feel comfortable, you only remember your own daughter. I can understand all of these. Yeah. But, I can’t be the third wheel forever. If I return with you today, I’ll still be a sinner whenever someone mentions this.
I promise you, in the future, no one will mention this in front of you. If they do, I’ll sever my ties with them. Do you trust me? You’re just saying. If your daughter and I do engage each other head-on, I’m sure you wouldn’t side with me. You just want me to serve you,
And you can’t bear to part with your daughter. You want the best of both worlds. You’re reaping all of the benefits. You must admit this. You’re a selfish man from the start. I think you’re a bit too much. I… Fine, I won’t say anything. Just tell me.
You can vent out your anger. I won’t talk back to you. Tell me. Li Li will inherit your house in the future. If I return with you right now, I’ll be living under someone else’s roof until my death. What should I do then? I’ll change my will then. I’ll change it.
I’ll let Lan Lan inherit the house. Why do you still think that I’m after your inheritance? But… We… Enough already. Stop being angry. Stop crying. Let’s get a divorce. Everyone will be able to live in peace that way. I’ll ask Lan Lan to write a divorce paper for us. I…
What nonsense are you saying? We’re been married for over 10 years. You want to get a divorce just like that? I won’t agree to it. Let’s go home together. If there are any difficulties, we can come up with a solution together, okay? This is all I can think of right now.
I’m really exhausted. -You… -Let’s get a divorce. Let’s go. I’ll stay at your house. Mum, wait. Mum, I thought you went home? This is her home. Mum, you should unpack your luggage and take a bath. Zi You, come. Bring your grandmother’s luggage in. What’s wrong? She’s my mother.
I will never chase her out of my house. -I… -You better let her stay. If you want to chase her out, I’ll request for a divorce. But my mother reminded me first. I think I should remind her as well. It’s for her own good.
I’m sure you don’t want your mother to go through a broken marriage, right? Your parents are doing this for her sake? What kind of teaching is that? You’re forcing your own kin to stay outside! Tian Yu Lan, can you speak after making careful considerations? Don’t just say anything that comes to your mind.
What’s the use of beautiful words? You need to behave like a human. Do you think that is humane? How is it inhumane? What’s wrong with my parents? They’re just concerned about us. Why can’t you appreciate their effort? They’re concerned about us? No matter if I’m willing to bear a second child or not,
They just come here and insist for a second grandchild. They even took Zi You away without telling us. And now, they want you to chase my mother out? Are you sure they’re concerned about us? In your eyes, your parents are always right. It’s my fault whenever I don’t follow their advice.
Why didn’t you behave like this when you receive their money then? You didn’t behave like this when you’re asking them for a favour. You shouldn’t have double standards, am I right? You just want them to give you money when you need it,
And you want them to back down when you don’t need them. My parents aren’t ATMs, you know? Grandma, please change into your slippers. Good boy, you can return to your room first. Do you think I’m willing to take their money if I have a choice?
Yan Peng, do you think this family belongs to me alone? Do you think I’m solely responsible for Zi You? As a father, do you think you earn enough for the family? I was the one who’s handling every matter in the family. If you were just a little bit better,
We won’t need to depend on your parents at all. Fine, you have a point, okay? You said so yourself. You’re married to my entire family, not me. Listen, Yan Peng. As a husband and father, your score is 70 at most. And your parents have provided you with 15 marks!
If you’re on your own, you won’t even pass for a husband! I won’t pass? Do you think you have a full score? You’re so mean. That’s too much. ♫ Time goes by slowly ♫ ♫ But it never stops ♫ ♫ It knows it can’t take away anything ♫
♫ But it never insists ♫ ♫ Some memories are fat while some are thin ♫ ♫ But it can eat anything ♫ ♫ It knows what’ll always be lacking ♫ ♫ But it never let go ♫ ♫ Cry and laugh, just like a kid ♫ ♫ Little things, sweet and salty ♫
♫ No matter it’s good or bad, you’ll remember only when you have it ♫ ♫ Loss is always more profound ♫ ♫ I want to cherish you in my mouth, but you might melt ♫ ♫ I want to hold you in my hands, but you might fall ♫
♫ It’s not true that I didn’t care about you ♫ ♫ I care for you, secretly in my heart ♫ ♫ Time goes by slowly ♫ ♫ But it never stops ♫ ♫ It knows it can’t take away anything ♫ ♫ But it never insists ♫

Your Uncle Nan can only drink skimmed milk. He said the skin forming on top has too much fat. ♫ Cry and laugh, just like a kid ♫ ♫ Little things, sweet and salty ♫ ♫ No matter it’s good or bad, you’ll remember only when you have it ♫ Mum. This is my house.
♫ Loss is always more profound ♫ ♫ I want to cherish you in my mouth, but you might melt ♫ Sorry, I thought I was at my own house. ♫ I want to hold you in my hands, but you might fall ♫ You should go to sleep.
♫ It’s not true that I didn’t care about you ♫ I’ll drink the milk later. ♫ I care for you, secretly in my heart ♫ Skimmed milk is pretty good for me. It was like I woke up from a blurry dream. ♫ Time goes by slowly ♫ I’m getting old now.

♫ It knows what’ll always be lacking ♫ ♫ But it never let go ♫ Your Uncle Nan loves pineapples. I’ll put them in salt water after I’m done peeling them. He’s very picky. Did something happen to him? He had diarrhea? How does he look? Does he look slimmer now?
I think I should remind your mother as well. It’s for her sake. I’m sure you don’t want your mother to experience a broken marriage, right? Cut it short. Can you come to my house and pick up my mother? You must be out of your mind. Do you think that’s possible?
I won’t let you do it for free. If you agree to my request, as repayment, I will help to obtain a slot for Han Lin Junior High School’s pre-test. Pre-test? I thought you say you won’t help us out? I always keep my promise. Huan Huan should spend her last year wisely.
If she does so, she might have a chance to attend Han Lin Junior High School. Even if she doesn’t attend that school, taking the pre-test is the best way for you to assess Huan Huan’s standards. What do you think? You should think about it. I won’t make this deal with you.
Do you know that your father has lactose intolerance? He can only drink lactose-free milk. The milk must be warm and the top layer must be removed. So? He can’t eat anything that has full cream milk in it. He had diarrhea after he ate the sesame crisp you bought for him.
-He wasn’t like that… -That was in the past. He had a stroke after he had cancer. You can’t compare him to a normal person. He has IBS as well. He can’t take cold and spicy food. He can only eat fruits when they’re warmed.
He’ll have diarrhea if the noodles he eat are too chewy. He can’t afford to catch a cold. If not, he will have a tough time breathing. He can’t take too much heat as well. His blood pressure will rise. He can’t be too exhausted. If not, he’ll suffer from insomnia.
If he doesn’t sleep for three days, his body will break down. Even if my mother is a sinner, every time you visit them, your father always has a healthy expression. It’s all because my mother cares for him like a baby. If not, your father would’ve been gone long ago.
Even if your mother hates him very much, can she still hate a dead man? One should spare them when one is able to. It’s been so many years. Can’t you just appreciate her contributions? I didn’t chase your mother out. If my father went to bring her back, I won’t object to it.
But, why must it be me? My mother has been with your father for many years. He did treat her well. But, over the past 10 years, you were the reason for her humiliation and suffering. Yes. I know you didn’t hurt her directly. But the older your father gets,
The more he needs to listen to you. If you don’t help us out this time, my mother will never be able to raise her head up in the future. Don’t tell me you didn’t realize that? You’re pretty cruel sometimes. You’re doing this to two elderly people. Let’s forget about my mother for now.
You knew that your father cared for you the most. He gave you everything he has. He has nothing left for you. The only thing he has left is his loneliness. Nan Li, how could you be so cruel? What about you? Do you regret your actions as well?
What will you obtain from my demotion besides making you happy? Yes. I was the one who filed the complaint. I was angry. I wanted to vent my anger. But I didn’t expect the situation to be uncontrollable. Forget it. I won’t try to find excuses for myself. You said I was happy? Yes, initially,
I thought I would be happy as well. But, I wasn’t as happy as I thought. That’s how it works when you’re a grown-up. You’ll only obtain something if you lose something. I’m doing it for my mother. You’re doing it for Huan Huan and your father. We should sacrifice ourselves
For the people we love. We should forget about our grudges. If not, us and the entire family will be ruined if we continue our conflict. And everything will be gone. Every time you visit them, your father always has a healthy expression. It’s all because my mother cared for him like a baby.
If not, your father would’ve been gone long ago. Your father has lactose intolerance. He has IBS as well. After he got cancer… He can’t eat cold and spicy food. He’ll have a hard time breathing… He can’t be too exhausted. You can’t compare him to a normal person…
He can’t take too much heat as well. Even the fruits must be warmed… If he doesn’t sleep for three days, his body will break down. Li Li, can I come in? Do you know Dad has lactose intolerance? I do. When we were at the Institute of Design,
We always bought coffee without milk for him. I don’t know that. Dad, I got you a latte with no sugar. Latte is great. Thank you. Last time, I bought him a cup of latte. He didn’t drink it at all. I thought he was recovering well. I had to be willful, huh? And,
The sesame crisp I bought him the other day… This is the one. That’s the taste I remember. He knew he couldn’t eat it, yet he still ate two pieces of them in front of me. It’s my fault. I thought you knew about that. Dad wasn’t like this in the past.
He got lactose intolerance after he fell sick last time. Yeah. I should’ve known that. He was at death’s door twice. And I wasn’t by his side for both times. I felt sorry for my mother. I hated him so much. I thought he was leading a comfortable life.
I’ve never asked him if he was doing well or not. I didn’t know how painful it was for him. What kind of daughter am I? I thought we weren’t supposed to eat after 7pm? Life is boring, don’t be too strict on yourself. It’s fine since we aren’t eating like this every day. Here.
Supper, sometimes, it does help in a dull and boring relationship. You mustn’t mention about the divorce anymore. That proposal was completely rejected. I swore in front of Dad already. I’ll be with you forever unless you don’t want me anymore. You should’ve sworn in front of me instead of him.
He didn’t attend our wedding, you know? Li Li, let me give you a test. Do you still remember where’s the first place we met each other? A bus stop. It was raining back then. We met by coincidence. And I gave you my umbrella. I said I live nearby.
I didn’t expect us to live in the same area. We shared the umbrella. We’ve been trying to find a topic to avoid embarrassment. In the end, we realized that we liked the same type of movie. We had a great conversation. Back then, we felt like we should’ve known each other earlier.
You even knew what I liked to eat, and what I liked to do. Maybe this is fate. You’re fated to be mine. Li Li, have you never suspected anything? Aren’t you curious at how an undergraduate who only graduated for two years could afford to rent a place in the city centre?
What do you mean? It wasn’t a coincidence at all. We do have the same interests, but there aren’t that many coincidences. I was just catering to your interest. I’m not a prophet. I did it because I had the support of an outsider. Don’t you think it’s strange that
That random guy you met on the road was actually in the same institute as your father? Your father was worried about your relationship. Coincidentally, there’s a young man in the institute. He had already tested me. He was the one who’s been helping me in the dark. You guys…
You guys actually hid this from me? I didn’t mean to hide it from you. It was Dad’s instruction. He said there’s no need to mention this to you. You’re the promise between Dad and I. We promised to protect you forever. During our wedding, you didn’t invite Dad.
Actually, Dad has always been watching you from the side. His love for you is way deeper than you know. That old lady. She even left her necklace here. Great, she’s angry. You have a temper, she has a temper, everyone has a temper. -Grandpa! -Dad. My babies are here.
-Why aren’t you wearing slippers? -They forgot about the slippers. The floor is cold, you know? Come, wear your slippers. Come. The floor is cold. Wear your slippers. You’ve improved. You did great at cleaning up the house. Thanks for the praise. -Did you sleep well last night? -I did.
Look, my dark circles are gone. You look fine today. Dad, we’ll go to the park this weekend. -Do you want to join us? -Sure. Are you willing to let me join you guys? I still need to teach Chao Chao how to fly kites, am I right?
Grandpa, promise me that you’ll teach me how to fly a kite. Let’s fly kites! You shouldn’t eat it. It’s stale now. I’ll get you some fresh ones. Don’t eat this. Wait for me. I’ll be back immediately. I’m coming! Close your eyes! I want to eat this. -Slow down. -Little girl.
Go and look at Grandpa’s fishes. -Go now. -Let’s go. -Dad. -Don’t poke them, okay? Sit here. What’s wrong with your leg? My leg feels heavy. It’s… Why is it swollen so badly? Yeah. Maybe I’ve been eating salty food these few days. Salty food? You can put less salt, am I right?
It’s not me. I don’t know how to cook. I ate outside these few days. Sometimes, I’ll order for deliveries. The food outside is salty. -They’re oily as well. -Yeah. Have you experienced this before? I do, occasionally. What did you do then? In the past, I… Let me ask my friend. He’s a doctor.
Which department should we go to for this? The gastroenterology department or the urology department? What are you talking about? Your Auntie Cai knows how to solve this problem. In the past, when I was facing the same thing, she’ll take some herbs and brew them into a pot of water.
I’ll be fine after I drink them. Let me hire a caretaker for you. I’ll hire the best caretaker for you. No thanks. I’m old now. I’m not used to it if there’s an outsider in my house. You should stay with me then. Stay with you? I’m not afraid of troubling you.
I’m afraid I’ll trouble myself. If your mother knows about it, she’ll insult and humiliate me every day. I won’t give her that chance. I’ll go and play with them. Don’t feed that to the fishes. These are meant for you guys. Fishes can’t eat that. They have their own food. Here, you see this?
The fish food is over here. We need to learn what to do in different stages of our lives. Now, I should learn how to live alone. I need to learn how to live independently and how to take care of myself so that I won’t trouble my child.
If worse comes to worst, I can always go to a nursing home. Don’t worry. That’s enough. You can’t feed them too much. They only have two meals per day. They’re coming. Dad! Dad! Dad! Dad! What’s wrong? I had a nightmare. Don’t worry. Nightmares are usually the opposite of reality. Sleep now.
Dad, I’ll reach after 10 minutes. I’ll see you outside later. Alright. I still have things to do. I’ll leave now. I’ll go now. You should return now. -We’ll return now. -Go ahead. You should go now. It’s only been a few days. Your hair is white now. You seem older now.
-Let me do it. -I’ll do it. No one will dye my hair for me when you’re not at home. Let’s go home. Let’s go home. Li Li. Li Li. Is the weather hot today? You didn’t change into your slippers. What are you doing? What’s wrong? Did you argue with Xia Jun Shan again?
