Hey, cabbie!

Auntie Wu

My father always listens to you and Uncle Wu

Please convince my father to go to Taipei

So he can receive treatment

I sent your Papa letters

And messages via your mother

Why didn't he come?

My Papa is trying to save money

So little brother and sister can go to school

Our home will fall apart if he doesn't get well soon

They're fighting again?

Don't cry or people will make fun of you

Mama is with another man

She went there everyday

Left Papa alone in the house

- Don't talk nonsense

- I saw it

The man she met on her way to Taipei

Does your Papa know?

Please don't say you come at my request

- Bang!

- Ouch

You'll dirty your cloth

- Auntie Wu

- Mama Wu

- Auntie Wu

- These snacks are for you

Hui-de, what brings you here?

Bo-Ni, you're looking healthier

Than the last time we met

No need to console me

Come inside

How's Brother Yang-shian?

I haven't returned any of his letters

My sister, have a seat

Fetch a cup of tea for Auntie

Don't be sad

One leaves this world eventually

Have a seat

Where is Wen-ying?

Why isn't she here?

She went to buy grocery

What a coincidence

Today is Ching-mao's birthday

Look at me, not even a present

Yang-shian wants you to come to Taipei

To have an examination

So we'll know your condition

See if a surgery is needed

Can't keep going on like this

I know it's incurable

When did you get a medical degree?

Can't get well by lying on bed all day

Think of your children

You can't have no regard for your health

- My sister!

- Don't "sister" me

Heed to my advice

If you respect me like your own sister

- Ma

- Ma

- Mama Wu is here

- Oh

Big sis, when did you get here?

- I could have picked you up at the station

- I just got here

Bo-Ni said you went grocery-shopping

I did

But I forgot to bring my purse

You sit and I go get my purse

Don't bother

She is family

Just have some noodles

You came all the way

Even help out in the kitchen

I'm in the kitchen everyday

A day without the kitchen

Feel I've left something undone

Once we women become wives and mother

Must accept the life

Do you still remember?

You two met in our home

Of course

You and Brother Wu were the M.C. for our wedding

Bo-Ni just likes to play huqin and hum Peking opera tunes

Honest with no unhealthy hobby

He's not perfect

But he is a faithful husband

We've so many children already

How can I not understand him?

He is not well

You need to make sacrifices

Stay with him, at home

I was by his side every day

What else can I do beside this?

Seems you don't even talk to him anymore

The illness is tormenting him

Don't make him angry

You don't understand: he needs to rest

I'm doing this for his own good
