...to be the family's worry and,

thus, become a burden.

As a family,

living under the same roof...

...we can still live separate lives.

This worry

that we have for each other is

what makes us a family.

I've done nothing wrong

by not telling.

By telling, I can end this lingering.

I cannot live my life

like my methods of cooking.

I can't wait until all the ingredients

are prepared and then cook.

Of course, after the first bite,

whether it's sour, sweet or spicy...

it's totally up to the individual.

That's it for now.

I'll continue after dinner!

Dad, what are you trying to say?

We already knew.

You do?

Let Dad tell us.

Go ahead and say it.

The dishes are getting cold.

Since the situation has come this far,

I'll say it.

To me, this house

contains several old memories.

But now, it's so empty,

and almost everyone has left.

I've decided to sell it.

I found a really nice place on Guandu.

It's a bit old and may

require some remodeling.

But it's a great place.

It should be ready in a few months.

Great. It's always nice

to move to a new place.

New people, new house, new life.

Great. I'll make a toast to you...

Auntie Liang

I haven't taken care of Jin-Rong

...but I can swear to Heaven...

as long as I, Old Chu,

have one last breath...

...I'll see that they both shall

never go cold or hungry...

...and that you're

always welcome in our new home.

Take a look.

This is a medical report I had done

at Veteran's Hospital last month.

Please, Auntie,

we ask for your approval.

I'll first drink a toast.

Cheers!

Dad, you should stop drinking.

You're getting drunk.

I'm not drunk.

Jin-Rong!

Uncle Chu and I

have been planning for a long time,

but because of this terrible divorce,

our love was a secret until now.

Although love should be

between two people...

...Uncle Chu loves all of you.

And he loves Shan-Shan also.

So he really wishes

for your approval and understanding.

As for me,

I only hope to

be with him at his side.

I'm willing to be with him.

Jin-Rong! That's enough!

Don't say anymore!

Is there a mistake?

Dad, are you crazy?

I'm not crazy.

I know exactly what I'm doing.

Mom? Mom?

Loosen her collar!

Don't touch me!

Keep your dirty hands off of me!

Damn you, Old Chu!

How dare you snatch my daughter!

Help me carry her

to the sofa! Guo-Lun.

Be careful!

Damn you! Don't touch me!

Take me home, Jin-Rong.

Let me tell you,

don't even think

about it for as long as

I still have my last breath.

Mom!

Let's go. Shan-Shan.

Mom, calm down!

Let's take her home.

Okay, okay.

What kind of world is this?

I want to die!

What kind of family is this?

I'll take Shan-Shan!

God won't let you get away with this!

I want to go back to America!

Hello? Guo-Lun, how are you?

Fine! But we've been up all night.

I don't have the heart to wake them.

Don't wake them. Get some sleep.

I'll be back again in a few months.

I'll come visit then.

Bye, then.

Tell us all about Amsterdam

when you come back.

And thanks for your help

these past months.

Take care of your wife and kid.

Of course.

Say hello to Jia-Jen

and Ming-Dao for us.

They can't make it either.

They've got a big day

today themselves.

Bye!

Do you believe that

Jesus Christ has forgiven your sins

and made you a new person?

Yes.

Do you believe in following

Jesus Christ

unto eternity and never regret?

Yes.

Believe in your heart.

Say yes from your mouth:

In the name of the Father,

Son and Holy Spirit,

I baptize you. Amen.

How are you feeling?

Fine, just a small headache.

You should get going?

All right...

I'll pick up Shan-Shan on my return.

Get some rest at home.

Sure.

I love you!

SOLD:

- Hi.

- Hi. Please come in,

you'll be the only one here tonight.

Everyone else called to apologize,

because they had plans.

Where's Shan-Shan and Jin-Rong?

Jin-Rong's not feeling well today.

Shan-Shan is with her grandma.

No need to take off your shoes.

Just come in.

Did they tell you

the ultrasound results?

I don't want to know.

Another daughter?

Have a seat. Dinner's almost ready.

What's wrong?

Nothing. It's delicious. But...

But what?

You put too much ginger in the soup.

Its effect is ruined.

Too much ginger?

This is the same as Mother's recipe...

I remember you

bickering about this back then.

You're too timid with ginger.

It's just a comment.

Don't boss me around the kitchen.

I wasn't. It was a minor criticism.

The taste...

Taste.

What about the taste?

Jia-Chien...

your soup...

What about my soup?

Your soup,

Jia-Chien...

I can taste it.

You can taste?

I can taste it.

Some more...

please.

Daughter.

Dad.
