Mom!
Why didn't you call me?
I'm going to be late.
I told Zhou Tong that I'd go pick a wedding dress with him today.
Let me go.
No, wait.
What?
What do you mean what? What do you mean?
You still have the nerve to go pick a wedding dress?
Who is Zhou Long?
Have we met him?
Do we even know who he is?
I'm telling you, you can't just marry yourself off like this.
Of course I'm in a hurry.
Mom, I'm gonna be 35 soon.
You wouldn't want me to end up an old maid, would you?
No matter if you're 34 o 35,
you can't just marry yourself off.
Well, our parents have to be consulted.
Isn't that reasonable?
Consult, consult, consult? Let us consult.
I'll bring Zhou Tong home for dinner tomorrow night.
And let you two get to know each other.
Who am I?
Your mom.
He's his future mother-in-law.
Mom, don't be mad.
Bring this whole set tomorrow.
Mom.
This Zhou Tong.
A real talent.
Definitely a white knight.
My eyes won't be wrong.
I'm sure he'll make you happy.
No matter if you're happy or not.
Listen to me now.
No matter what you do,
before I meet him,
if you dare to pick up the marriage license,
I'll end our mother-daughter relationship.
I still have that right.
As for...
Mom, sister.
Hey, sis, why...?
Why do people have to get married?
Why is marriage so troublesome?
If I go away, you don't have to get married.
If you don't get married, people will say you have a problem,
or have a bad character,
or a mental disorder.
Come on, don't act so weird.
Your sister's getting married.
You're the one who's weird.
Weird.
Who said not getting married is weird?
What's with you? Are you done or what?
Why are you still bothering me?
I already told you in the beginning,
I won't get married. OK?
It's not like I forced you into something.
Right?
Alright, alright, let's not talk about it.
We don't owe each other anything, right?
Okay, okay, I'm here.
It's not what you think. I'll call you later.
Who are you calling?
It's not like I owe you something, right? I'm talking about work.
It's okay, I'll call you later.
Who are you calling?
It's not what you think. I'm not taking advantage of you.
Okay, okay, I'm talking about work.
Baby.
Don't misunderstand. It's not what you think.
My feelings for you are loyal. I promise.
Loyalty isn't just something you talk about.
Do you understand what I'm feeling in my heart?
Let's not play silly games, okay?
Didn't I already agree to marry you?
Come on, let's do this.
And don't forget to go with me to pick out a wedding dress tomorrow.
What's there to pick out in a wedding dress?
Just white or red, show legs or not.
No fun.
You're really getting married?
Come on Xiao Tong, are you playing with me?
Why did we even start dating if not to get married?
Hey, don't forget.
We still have to get the marriage certificate.
What are you talking about, I've mentioned it before.
I've already booked the banquet.
What banquet?
We don't even have the marriage certificate yet.
And you're already thinking of the wedding?
What are you talking about!
I've asked you about getting the marriage certificate a few times already.
You're the one who doesn't want to.
If you do, we can go get it straight away.
Let's eat first, okay?
Xiao Tong.
That's why I've taken care of everything before.
I just want to express my sincerity
I really want to get married
I'm serious with you about this
Yunuonu is 33 this year
If I don't get married now
How am I going to explain it to my parents
Don't get mad if I say something you don't want to hear
Isn't this a forced marriage
It's a forced marriage
Whatever you call it
I'm forcing it
So this is our situation
Just two choices
Either get married
Or go our separate ways
You pick one of the two
you get it
dude wow
My sister looks good in anything
Zhang Zong
You don't care about me at all
You don't care about me at all
You want to go to the hospital with me
I'm busy hitting myself
Who is Zhou Tong?
Stop messing around and listen to me.
We are both at this age now.
You should understand this man, right?
Before he gets married, he wants to have a wild time.
It's also a way of bidding farewell to single life.
So what you're saying is...
I can also have a wild time and have my own ritual?
Yeah.
That's normal life, right?
Zhou Tong.
I have to reconsider about our marriage.
I'm saying that after we get married.
After we get married, I...
I have already said that I'm not ready.
My dad has taken it back.
Hurry up and eat.
What's wrong with you, Zhou Tong?
My sister is so upset.
You're here having a feast by yourself.
What I said was, why did my sister cancel the wedding?
Did you do something that made her mad?
Stop making stuff up. Who made her mad?
No. I'm telling you, she almost strangled herself to get married.
Don't I have a right to say something?
My God, she's going to get married against her will.
But since you love my sister
You should understand her
She's already in her thirties
All her classmates
Have already had kids
Can't he be a little less in a rush?
But the problem is, I don't want to get married so soon
Why not?
You still want to have fun, right?
And have other plans?
What plans do I have?
I'm telling you, marriage is just a formality
All you're doing is getting a certificate, why the rush?
Don't think I don't know your kind of men
And don't think my sister can't find someone else aside from you
Let me tell you
Who knows?
Maybe tomorrow she'll find someone on the street
Fall in love at first sight and marry him
Let's see
What is it?
Forget it, you're busy
Ah, it's nothing
No, no, come in
Please have a seat
Oh, hi.
Oh, hi. Thanks.
Which company are you from?
Uh, I'm from Carey Financial Investment Co., Ltd.
Carey?
Sorry, are you one of our customers?
Uh, no.
I'm a financial adviser from Carey.
Uh, we are
specializing in providing financial products
services for small businesses, if your company is willing.
Then you'll be my customer.
You talk around in circles.
Are you a salesman?
Ah, no, no, no.
Not a salesman, not a salesman.
We are helping
establish a good relationship between you and the bank.
Ah, to solve this, we are serving you specifically.
Serving us?
Then you asked if we will be charged for the service.
Well,
of course.
Is that all?
So you're still in sales, huh?
I wonder
How do you know our company is short of money?
This lady
can tell
Although you may not be happy today
But
Through my understanding and investigation of this market
Chinese small businesses
Often have funding problems
I'm sincerely recommending
This scientific financial planning
And this financial operating method
I think you should be in the mood
To let me finish speaking
Calmly, right?
You say I'm a small business
Look at my office
And at my area
Which eye of yours saw that I'm a small business?
You're still in sales
Do you have any manners?
You're doing sales with no manners?
What kind of eloquence do you have?
Doing sales with no eloquence at all?
Yeah, that's it.
No wonder you're so old and still sweeping here.
Sorry about that, miss.
According to our restaurant policy,
At least I'm running a small business, right? What's wrong with that?
if you cancel 20 days in advance,
we cannot refund the deposit.
Why can't you refund it?
I don't understand the entrepreneurs in China. Always taking the small things seriously.
I'm just curious.
We haven't even had the meal yet.
They don't understand capital operation and don't want to learn.
The banquet hasn't even been set up, why can't we get a refund?
Well, you said there's a policy, right?
Why is it so hard to recommend this scientific investment and financial concept?
Can you show me the policy?
I'm sorry, miss. Let me explain.
What's wrong with the entrepreneurs in China? They're no different from the foreign ones.
For banquet reservations,
if you cancel 60 days in advance, you can get a full refund,
Miss, I worked on Wall Street for 8 years.
and 50% if you cancel 30 days in advance.
Don't joke around. I worked on Wall Street for 10 years. You can search it online.
But there are only 20 days left until our reservation date,
so we also have to take a loss.
Hello, miss.
What kind of loss is it?
Is the manager here?
What can I do for you?
Will you still be open on that day?
Well, we had a wedding booked here in 20 days and we want to cancel it.
Then why not just do business as usual?
Can't you just give me a break?
So we'd like to get back the deposit.
Aren't you being sincere?
What if we don't put on the banquet on that day?
Won't you make even more money?
Isn't that right?
How about this, Miss? You can take a seat first.
I'll make our boss come to deal with your complaint.
Would that work?
That works too. I'm waiting.
Looking for me?
Oh, sorry, just borrowing your seat for a moment.
I'm waiting for someone.
What's the difference between making a fuss and malingering?
Oh, what?
Am I talking about capital operation?
We can't compare with foreign businessmen.
So we are bullied. You know?
Do you know?
Foreign businessmen, they monopolize the language rights, deprive us of how much benefits.
And even foreign businessmen against Chinese businessmen.
If we play by the rules of foreign businessmen, we still won't get respect.
Ah, I'm so confused.
As a Chinese, you look down on Chinese businessmen?
You disdain your own countrymen?
What do you want to do?
Then why come back to China?
You go to the United States?
What do you want to do?
Then why come back to China?
You go to the United States?
Don't come back
Just go be a Wall Street elite
You make others brave while you lose your own vigor
As a Chinese, I really look down on you
I really don't appreciate these so-called "fake foreigners"
Oh!
Admiration, admiration
Are you done?
I can't believe it
An old lady like you can understand so much
Who's an old lady, but it's a bit of a pity
Do you understand?
You didn't get to the point
What can you say?
It's better you just look at my profile
Then you'll know
Am I working for the benefit of Chinese entrepreneurs?
No, I don't want to look at your profile
What's wrong?
Got lectured by some Chinese small business owners today
It's done, I'll tell you
What?
Hey mom
What are you doing?
Ah, what is it?
Oh, you, daughter ah?
Saying I speak too ungracefully, huh-huh?
Haha, mom's chopping the cabbage, how can it be graceful?
Ah, you can't hear?
Okay, okay, okay, I'll sit a bit lightly.
You can't, look at your father messing around there.
Aiya!
No need for you to help.
What, me? Daughter?
Is your little sister there?
Ah, celery is done.
Aiyo, our dishes are almost done.
Mom's cooking skill is all written down.
The pot is open.
The pot is open, stir-fry the radishes.
Be careful.
Ah, not like this.
Aiyo, hurry, hurry, answer your phone.
If it's too salty, no.
It's too little.
Aiyo, daughter.
Time for dinner?
Today I know what it means for the son-in-law to come to the door.
The chicken has lost its soul.
What chicken has lost its soul?
It's okay.
326
Aiyo, hurry, hurry, answer your phone.
Oh gosh, our kitchen looks so terrible.
Isn't it?
Hey, when will Zhou come back?
Zhou and I are at the office discussing marriage.
Oh, great!
Zhou and I say hi to my mom.
Mom, don't worry about dinner, we'll be back soon.
We still have some matters to discuss.
Okay, Mom. Wait for a bit before starting dinner.
We haven't finished discussing yet.
I'm not crying.
It's just that my nose is a bit stuffy, I'm a bit allergic.
Haha, alright, let's go right away.
Okay, Mom. Bye bye. See you later.
It's funny, isn't it?
What's funny?
No, nothing.
Then you should get back to work.
Okay.
I know women of your age don't have anything more important than the big event.
I'm leaving first. Don't leave, okay?
This material you gave me... Is it correct?
What brand is your suit?
Armani.
Aiya Aiya Aiya
Real or fake?
It's not about real or fake
You can't buy fake goods
You're still considered a talent anyways
I can look at the data
But you have to do me a favor
Come back home with me tonight
Mr. Ma, sorry
Miss Li's boss is not here
Can you please wait in the lobby?
Why?
Aiyo the lobby is also a guest right?
I'm saying your business is so good
That you can't return the deposit
Such a big restaurant, so stingy
I don't care, I'll be waiting here
You have to give me a reasonable explanation
Why can't I get the deposit back
Aiyo don't glare at me
I'm telling you I'm like this, what to do
Aiyo don't glare at me
I'm telling you I'm like this, what to do
I'm waiting here today
Hurry up and call your boss
Mr. Ma, it's alright, it's alright.
Can I see the receipt for this deposit?
You guys should really return it to him
Because a deposit is different from the final payment
If it's a final payment
then this money belongs to your restaurant
But if it's a deposit
Then the money still doesn't belong to you and should be returned
It's written above
You can consult a lawyer if you'd like
But there's also a more gentle way to resolve this
No need for the credit card for this order
Just return the money to him
You can calculate it and you won't be losing anything
Right?
Thank you
Are you our VIP here?
Can you give us a discount?
This 5,000 yuan, how about a 20% discount?
Thank you
Are you the honored guest here?
Could you give us a discount?
For this 5,000 yuan, how about a 20% discount?
How much did you spend?
I'm not like this every day
And I just happen to get caught by you this time
Oh, I see
Just go with the flow
Right, go with the flow
Ah, you must be a lawyer
Lawyers can make so much money
My sister's company's lawyer doesn't seem so well off
I'm an editor for a magazine
I just said those things from what I researched
Baidu
Did you hear our conversation just now?
Wow, the whole world heard it
No
I'm just a little impatient by nature, that's all
But it's okay, it's okay
Thank you
If you don't mind, have a sip
I, I don't drink
No need to
You can just have a taste
Why should you worry about an ignorant man?
Given your conditions
you'll definitely have a great wedding in the future
You mean me?
Hmm
426
You'll be able to find someone great to marry.
No, no, it's not you I'm talking about.
I don't have a boyfriend yet.
It's my sister getting married.
I just came here to help her with the cancelation fee.
Oh, I see.
Oh.
So, if you don't have a boyfriend, what do you think of me?
You...
I'm not interested in rich guys.
I told you, I'm an editor at a magazine, with a salary of 6000 yuan.
That's not really a lot of money.
I saved up for this bottle of wine for half a lifetime.
Well, I can consider it.
But I don't have time for that today.
The groom that ran away was supposed to come to my house for dinner tonight.
My sister is probably crying in the office right now, so I have to go save her.
Oh, I'll see you off then.
Oh.
Once you get to my house, don't say anything stupid. Remember, Zhou Tong is my boyfriend.
That's me, Zhou Tong.
Hey, I didn't say you two.
You're getting married soon, your parents haven't even met Zhou Tong yet.
He's a cheat.
He's not brave enough to meet my parents.
Why are you asking about this?
I'm just getting to know him.
Well, if you want to talk about cheating...
I actually think I'm cheating you today.
I'm so shameless just for one deal.
If you had been shameless earlier,
you wouldn't be stuck like this now.
Hey.
I said you're such a big and beautiful girl, why do you talk like this?
What's wrong with me?
I'm hurting you.
I'm hurting you as your boyfriend, of course.
If you had hurt yourself earlier,
you wouldn't be in this mess today.
Alright, alright.
Let's take a look at my skill. Success!
Yay!
Uh oh.
Why am I so nervous? You can hear it in my voice.
Look, I'm so stressed out.
Look at you taking the initiative
It's the mother-in-law who should be nervous meeting the son-in-law
How could I not be nervous?
You said it's okay if Zhou Tong turns out to be a great person
But what if he's a weirdo? What should I do then?
What should I say?
Should I pretend to be happy or show my true feelings?
Enough, you're overthinking it. Our daughter can't possibly like someone that's a weirdo
Nuo Nuo has always been a stubborn child
She would just do whatever she wants without informing us first and then tell us the results later
Oh no
What should I do if a weirdo is coming to our house?
I'll just kick him out
What else can I do?
Right?
What would I do if a weirdo really comes to our house?
I'll kick him out
Yeah
What else can I do?
You don't understand Nuo Nuo. When she wants something, she'll do whatever it takes to get it
What good would it do to oppose her?
Back in the old days, she would've eloped with him if she wanted
You can't tell me that you've ever monitored her and ended up with a happy result
You just don't get it!
Learn from this failure.
Come on, stop. Don't go off the rails.
Come on, I'm telling you.
When the young people come, don't go off on a tangent.
They don't like that.
Let's go.
We're here.
Mom and Dad, we're back.
Come in, what's going on?
This is Zhou Tong.
Uncle and Aunt.
Ah, you waited a long time.
No, not at all.
Come in, come in, go, come.
Come in, come in.
Come in.
Wow.
That was exciting.
I was just about to take off.
The camera captured you for sure.
You were amazing!
It's okay. Weren't you trying to save someone?
Go and save your brother-in-law now!
Stay a moment.
OK, stay a moment then.
Stay.
Xiao Zhou, come here.
Our family welcomes you.
Thank you.
Come and eat.
Come.
Little pig, come and bring the crab to me.
This fish is extremely fresh.
Thank you.
This isn't that, is it?
Auntie is happy to have us both home today, right?
Let's talk about that later.
Auntie's cooking is more delicious than my own.
What's it called?
Nuo Nuo Yan's Nuo Oh.
Ai, Nuo Nuo help me serve some rice.
Serve it yourself.
OK, in that case, let me help.
Let me try...
Look, Nuo Nuo, you don't need Nuo Nuo like this.
Do you always bully him usually?
No, not like this without Nuo Nuo.
Ha ha ha, the bowl is not enough.
Sorry to trouble you.
No trouble, just serve more food.
That's enough.
What's wrong with your eyes today?
Why are they so red?
Umm…
Umm…parents-in-law…
Bonno didn't want me to say this,
but he cried in the company today.
Why?
Don't pinch me, what are you doing?
Tell me the truth.
Well, after he hung up your phone call,
he asked me something in the company.
He said, after we get married,
will we only have dinner at home?
I said yes, why?
But he didn't say anything and kept quiet for a while,
then he finally said, it didn't feel bad to have dinner at home every day.
I said, what?
Then he didn't say anything else.
If I'm not at home for dinner from now on
I can't eat my mother's cooking
Then I'd feel sorry
Then she'd cry and I wouldn't be able to talk her out of it
Really, look
She'd cry and her eyes would swell up
Oh you silly kid
Later
Even after you're married, you can still come home to eat
Mom will still make delicious food for you
Yes
Um, I'll go heat up some chicken soup for you
No no no, don't bother
Xiao Zhou, after you're married
If you come home late and don't have time to cook, you can come home and eat
Just call us in advance
We're all family
Our door is always open to you
Oh Zhou, oh
Drink more, oh, OK
Drink up, oh, lele
Let's have a toast
Cheers
Marry a rich man
It looks good on the surface
But there is a lot of suffering behind it
Say more and it's all tears
Don't worry about that
Because I'm not rich
Who said I have to marry a wealthy man
Will you marry me
Alili
What do you think
Ah, well
It's okay
I suppose it's all right
Anyway
It looks like Nono is getting married this time
You're thinking too simply
Then you should investigate
Investigate what
There are some questions that must be asked
For example, how much does Xiao Zhou make a month
And are all of his wages going to Nono after marriage
And when do they plan to buy a house
Will mother-in-law and father-in-law live with them
After getting married
Will they have their own house
These are all important questions that must be clarified
These are all actual problems that must be understood clearly.
Oh my!
Someone comes to our house on the first day and brings this up.
Don't scare them away.
How would that be scary?
This is an actual question.
I'm marrying off my daughter, this is a lifetime event.
I'm so cold now.
In the future, my daughter will suffer.
This person is really good.
Xiao Zhou.
If you keep acting like this, how will you get out of this?
See what you do to my mom.
Ah, we had an agreement.
I'm just here to figure out how to conclude tonight, that's up to you.
Besides, I'm doing this for one order of business.
I'm not willing to act a lifetime play with you.
Do not be shameless.
Do you want to act a lifetime with me?
I don't want to act a lifetime with you either.
Does this person have any quality?
Xiao Zhou, come here and drink the soup while it's hot.
Xiao Zhou.
Xiao Zhou.
Aye, Xiao Zhou.
651
Come on, Xiao Zhou.
Call you ah ah call
I told you before I came home today, right?
Oh, ai-ya.
Did you say it?
I said it, didn't I?
Ah, Xiao Zhou is really a jack-of-all-trades.
He can do anything like a fish in water.
Ah, alright then.
Hasn't he made any business yet?
He's like a newly-recruited young man, going door-to-door to distribute business cards.
Sister...
Oh, sister, let me tell you.
Oh, well.
Men, the old dosn't go, the new does not come. Don't be too sad about this, I'm telling you.
Oh, he changed job so quickly.
If I had known earlier, I wouldn't have come back in such a hurry, right?
Oh.
Changed people.
This speed is really fast.
I'm starving.
You said, right?
Oh.
What new incentive did our company recently launch?
Come, come, come eat one!
Dad, didn't I tell you? He has changed jobs and become a financial advisor now.
Oh, ai-ya. Didn't you tell me?
Sis
Why don't you introduce the new brother-in-law, what's his name?
Free of charge
It's Du
Du Xiaoang
Why do you drag us here? You said what?
What did you say?
Are you deceiving us?
He...he is Du Xiaoang, not Zhou Tong.
Lower your voice.
He's still outside, why are you shouting?
What do you mean by "lower your voice"?
Let me tell you
Don't tell us who you add or don't add
Isn't sorry enough?
Wasn't I afraid that you would be disappointed?
You have already disappointed us
We were waiting every day!
Waiting for you to bring Zhou Tong so we could meet him
That would be great
But it's too late now
You're getting married soon
But you brought a fake instead
Isn't that a tragedy for us?
You said Zhou Tong was coming
I was so busy preparing for him
Washing and doing things
What's the point of all this you said
Why am I so exhausted
It doesn't matter
The key is your daughter
You made such a big joke of your life and marriage
Couldn't your mother bear it
Mom, you worked hard
But you can't understand me, can you?
People ask me every day, "Nuonuo, why haven't you gotten married yet?"
You know?
Or they say, "Why don't I introduce someone to you?"
"Are there any problems with your character?"
What am I supposed to do?
People say leftover women have problems
I don't even know what those problems are
Some say they're too picky or too emotional
I thought about it and I wondered
Am I too picky?
Or is something wrong with my personality?
I don't know what to do
I keep thinking about it
What is wrong with me?
I guess I'm alright, nothing special.
Am I too emotional?
I feel I'm being too cheerful every day.
Personality-wise, I don't really have any problems.
But it's just not meant to be.
I just can't find the right one.
So what do you suggest?
So I decided to just let it go.
Since marriage is something I have to do anyway.
So I'll just find one that's close enough and settle.
That's what you mean?
And that's how I ended up with Xiao Ang.
How much do you really know about him?
Me?
Not much, but he looks honest and decent.
Hmph, decent? Isn't he a liar like Zhou Tong?
That's what you think?
Hmph, decent.
You thought the same about Zhou Tong.
Isn't he a liar?
So according to you,
they're all liars?
Then I don't want to get married. I don't want to get married at all.
I'll be on my own from now on.
That way you won't have to worry about me, and I won't have to be so troubled.
Ai Nuono
Nuono
Aiya
Mom isn't complaining
What do you want
We have been together for more than 30 years as mother and daughter
After you get married, you have to live alone
Mom just hopes you are happy and doing well
Keep quiet, ok?
I cannot compromise on this issue
I must adhere to the principle
I must be strict
Auntie, don't worry, Nuono and I are doing this properly
Shut up, can you stop talking for two seconds
Then I'll have to ask
Who is this marriage announcement about these days?
Him
Ai Xiaodu, ai
Can I say a few words and you won't hate me for it?
For this silly thing you two did today, I'm worried
I'm Nuono's father
I have some questions
Have you thought through the marriage
Do you have a long-term plan for it
Are you sure about it?
I'm not daring to say anything else
But I've already figured out marriage for some time
My age isn't small either
I have gone through some ups and downs
What I don't care about is career, money, status
What I want most is a happy family
A good wife, and to have a kid
That's enough
My rest of life
Will be spent to make my wife happy
And the entire family
That's all I have to say
Looks like Little Du has figured it out
What about you, Mengmeng? Have you figured it out?
