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
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
