Six-year-old Baldie had always been lucky in a strange way. From the time he was a child, he seemed to be blessed with extraordinary fortune, yet he was also cursed with an unbreakable streak of bad luck. No matter how hard he tried, he often ended up with injuries or misfortunes, and whenever he faced a setback, those around him would inexplicably find themselves in good fortune. His master, who had known him for a long time, had long since read the signs of his fate. He believed that if Baldie could not break the curse of bad luck within three months, he would face serious danger. The only way to break this curse and live in peace was for him to go down the mountain and find his biological father, reunite with his blood relatives, and thus lift the curse from his life. With this mission in mind, the little bald boy set off alone, carrying his master’s instructions. He started his journey by begging for alms on the streets, hoping to find his family and escape the curse that had plagued him for so long. But after just a few days of wandering through the mountains, he was so exhausted from hunger and fatigue that he collapsed on a lonely road.
Just then, a kind and gentle woman named Widow Li passed by.
She saw the little boy in such a pitiful state, so weak and helpless, that she couldn’t bear to leave him alone. Without hesitation, she carefully picked him up and carried him back to her home. On the way, she was surprised to find a hundred yuan lying on the ground. Widow Li and her daughter, Huihui, had not eaten for two whole days, and this money was a huge relief. It allowed them to enjoy a warm meal for the first time in days. Overcome with joy, Widow Li saw this as a blessing for her good deed. She treated the little boy with love and care, as if he were her own, and promised to help him on his journey to find his family.

Short filmTranscript
00:00:07Poor little thing. Did he pass out from hunger?
00:00:14No.
00:00:16This path, hardly anyone from Millbrook uses it.
00:00:20He's so young, he won't survive if he stays here.
00:00:25Come on, I'm taking you home.
00:00:33Oh my, a hundred dollar bill just fell from the sky.
00:00:39Thank God, thank all the lucky stars.
00:00:43My daughter and I haven't eaten in almost two days.
00:00:47This hundred dollars is a lifeline for us.
00:00:52Like I said, doing good deeds in life pays off.
00:00:56God won't let good people suffer.
00:01:01He has a face that brings good luck.
00:01:27Mom! You found food!
00:01:29Food! So many sweet potatoes. It's even more than we harvested from the fields.
00:01:33It's been such a dry year. The neighbors spent all day digging in the field and only found three the
00:01:39size of a pinky finger.
00:01:40The ones here are all as big as fists. We won't have to go hungry for at least two weeks.
00:01:45Yeah.
00:01:47Mom? Who is he?
00:01:50Oh. Found him on the road. He fainted from hunger.
00:01:54No. Now we have another mouth to feed. We're going to starve! Kick him out!
00:01:59It was all thanks to him. I was able to find a hundred dollars. We have a way to survive
00:02:03now. It's all because of his luck. How can we kick him out?
00:02:07Mom, that was just good luck. It has nothing to do with him.
00:02:10Mom, did you forget? It hasn't even been a week since Dad died. Grandma and Aunt already kicked us out
00:02:16to live in this shack. We barely have enough to eat. We can't even survive ourselves. Don't go looking for
00:02:21more trouble by taking in another burden.
00:02:23Enough. At the very worst, I'll go pick more wild greens to share. It'll be enough. He's just a poor
00:02:30boy. We have to help.
00:02:32Hmph.
00:02:42Get out, you little bald head!
00:02:45Amelia!
00:02:47Don't be ridiculous. Little one, don't take it to heart. As long as I'm here, no one can kick you
00:02:53out.
00:02:53You're too kind, ma'am. A few setbacks are nothing to worry about. I should be the one thanking you
00:03:00for taking me in.
00:03:01You're such a cute boy. So, can you tell me, what's your name?
00:03:06Master says that having just enough in life is true perfection. That's why he named me Dylan.
00:03:13You can call me by my nickname, Dylan, just like my master does.
00:03:18Okay, Dylan, wait right here. I'm going to go make some porridge for you.
00:03:26Fresh hot porridge is here.
00:03:31Eat up.
00:03:35We don't keep freeloaders in this family.
00:03:38Little Baldi, if you want it, you have to be useful.
00:03:40Tell me, what can you do?
00:03:43You can ask for alms.
00:03:45Does that mean you can get a lot of good food?
00:03:47The donors don't really pay attention to me.
00:03:52Practice martial arts.
00:03:54So, does that mean you can teach me some amazing moves?
00:03:57No.
00:03:58I tend to break bones whenever I practice.
00:04:01I can also chant scriptures.
00:04:04What good is that?
00:04:06By chanting for the deceased, I can score a vegetarian meal.
00:04:10Do you want to hear it?
00:04:12You're messing with me, little monk.
00:04:15All right, all right.
00:04:16Just eat your food.
00:04:24Thank you, ma'am.
00:04:39This is delicious, ma'am.
00:04:41I haven't eaten in three days.
00:04:44Finally, I get to eat these tasty sweet potatoes.
00:04:47I'm so happy, seriously.
00:04:50If it's good, then eat more.
00:04:52Come on, I'll make sure you're full.
00:05:00Cough, cough.
00:05:02Cough, cough.
00:05:05Slow down.
00:05:13Oh!
00:05:16Great!
00:05:17It's a wild hen.
00:05:18We'll have eggs to eat.
00:05:20That's enough, Amelia.
00:05:21Come back and eat first.
00:05:27Thank you for the meal, ma'am.
00:05:29I'll get going now.
00:05:31I wish you peace and safety.
00:05:34Dillon, where are you going?
00:05:36Is it far?
00:05:37No.
00:05:38It's almost dark outside.
00:05:40Why don't you stay for a couple more days?
00:05:42Our place might be falling apart, but at least it's a roof over your head.
00:05:47I don't know where to go yet.
00:05:49When my mom gave birth to me, she didn't have time to tell my master who my father was before
00:05:55she passed away.
00:05:57Master on the mountain told me to be patient and just keep moving forward.
00:06:01Fate will eventually lead me to my dad.
00:06:05You don't know who he is or where he is.
00:06:08Then how will you find him?
00:06:10Didn't realize he had it worse than me.
00:06:13At least I know what my dad looks like.
00:06:15And I still have my mom.
00:06:20You can't just go running off.
00:06:22You're just a little kid.
00:06:24What if you run into some bad people?
00:06:26It's the middle of nowhere out here.
00:06:27Besides, it's already dark.
00:06:29You won't even have a place to stay.
00:06:31How can I let you go?
00:06:33Don't worry, ma'am.
00:06:34I can navigate by the stars.
00:06:36I'll find a cave to sleep in tonight.
00:06:39I'll be safe.
00:06:40With that tiny body of yours, if you run into any wolves, they'll snatch you right up.
00:06:46You're not going anywhere.
00:06:48You ate our food, so you have to stay and work to pay us back.
00:06:54Dylan, I know you want to find your dad.
00:06:57But we need a proper plan.
00:06:59Stay here for now.
00:07:01I'll help you figure something out.
00:07:06Dylan, I know the struggle of growing up without a mom.
00:07:10I also know the feeling of losing family.
00:07:13Stay with us.
00:07:14Think of it as a blessing for us, bringing the three of us together as a family.
00:07:18We'll take your mom's place and love you with all my heart.
00:07:22Okay?
00:07:24Really?
00:07:25Can I have a mom, too?
00:07:29Mom!
00:07:32Yes.
00:07:36Don't get ahead of yourself, Baldy.
00:07:38I never agreed to let you be my brother.
00:07:40Sharp tongue, but a soft heart.
00:07:53What are you doing?
00:07:56I'm doing my evening prayers.
00:07:58Master says tapping the wooden fish earns you merit.
00:08:02Focus on kind thoughts while tapping, like sowing seeds in a field.
00:08:08Over time, blessings will come back to you.
00:08:11If I tap it, will it earn merit for my dad?
00:08:14He passed away last year.
00:08:16I want him to be reborn into a good life.
00:08:19Of course.
00:08:21Sincerity is all that matters.
00:08:25Dad, I hope you're reborn into a good family.
00:08:28Don't be like before, working yourself to death in the fields.
00:08:32Don't worry.
00:08:33Mom still have me.
00:08:34These hard times will pass.
00:08:37I'll tap a few extra times for your dad, too.
00:08:44No need to meddle in children's business.
00:08:47If Amelia's willing to share her thoughts with Dylan, she's already accepted him as family.
00:09:22Not bad for that phone.
00:09:27Bye.
00:09:29Bye.
00:09:32Bye.
00:09:36Bye.
00:09:38Bye.
00:09:39Bye.
00:09:42Bye.
00:09:48Sir, what are you looking at?
00:09:52A ghost. Ghost!
00:09:58You little bastard, I...
00:10:00Donald lie.
00:10:03You brat. How dare you peep at me?
00:10:07I'm going to break your legs.
00:10:09I'll show you that even a widow isn't someone you can push around.
00:10:14Enough.
00:10:18Well, Laura Bartley, you're the one who seduced me and invited me over.
00:10:22Why have second thoughts now?
00:10:24So you can just drag my name through the mud?
00:10:27Get out. Just get out.
00:10:30Laura, listen up.
00:10:32Since you hit me, you'll either marry me, or I'll tell everyone in the whole county so they all know.
00:10:39That you can't stay faithful, flirting with everyone like some cheap tramp.
00:10:45Ew.
00:10:49Don't you dare bully my mom!
00:10:52Headbutt!
00:10:59This is your headbutt? It's like you're just tickling me.
00:11:04Ouch!
00:11:05Whoa!
00:11:07Dylan!
00:11:11Hey, hey, my...
00:11:13Ow! Ow!
00:11:14What's going on?
00:11:15Ow! Ow!
00:11:17Ow, my stomach hurts.
00:11:19Ow!
00:11:23You little brat.
00:11:25You must have pulled some dirty trick.
00:11:27You set me up.
00:11:28Damn it!
00:11:32If I don't smash your head in, I'll take your last name.
00:11:41Stop it!
00:11:51Laura, how are you? Are you hurt?
00:11:55Dylan, how are you? Are you hurt?
00:11:59Dylan, don't ever do this again.
00:12:01I don't need you to protect me.
00:12:03If you got hurt, I would be heartbroken.
00:12:07I'll remember, Mom.
00:12:08It's so good to have you.
00:12:14Donald, you bastard.
00:12:15If you ever dare to try anything again and bully them, I'll take you to the town hall.
00:12:19I'll give you 30 lashes in front of the whole town, then kick you out of Millbrook.
00:12:23Don't you ever come back.
00:12:24Wait, Mayor.
00:12:27Don't take it so seriously.
00:12:29I was just with Laura, cracking a joke.
00:12:32I'm leaving, really.
00:12:43Laura.
00:12:45If Donald ever dares to come back, you don't need to do a thing.
00:12:48Just come find me.
00:12:49Everyone will stand up for you.
00:12:50We won't watch you get bullied.
00:12:54Thank you, Mayor.
00:12:56I'm off to patrol now.
00:13:00Let's go.
00:13:04It's been a dry year.
00:13:06The harvest isn't looking good.
00:13:08As for our food supplies, we need to be careful with how much we eat.
00:13:12Today, we'll pick more wild greens.
00:13:14When we get back, we'll mix them with bran to make some buns.
00:13:17These wild greens might be bitter, but they're filling and have a sweet aftertaste.
00:13:22Life is just like that.
00:13:23The sweet comes after the bitter.
00:13:25Then I will pick lots and lots of greens, so the sweet days come sooner.
00:13:30Go ahead, Dylan.
00:13:32Be careful.
00:13:44Oh!
00:13:51Oh, my God.
00:13:53This is a reishi mushroom.
00:13:55Oh, my God.
00:13:57Can't believe I found one in the field.
00:14:03Hey!
00:14:07Isn't this Mrs. Bartley?
00:14:09What treasure do you have?
00:14:11In that basket.
00:14:21Not buying it.
00:14:23You'd better look closely.
00:14:24This is genuine wild reishi from Hillcrest.
00:14:28No matter how good it is, if you offend me, it'll just rot in your hands.
00:14:34Unless you spend the night with me.
00:14:36Then I'll decide to buy it.
00:14:40When my husband was alive, he worked with pharmacies.
00:14:43He told me long ago that finding it is just like finding money.
00:14:47Every pharmacy would be dying for it, so it's not hard to sell at all.
00:14:55Don't think I'm an easy target.
00:14:57You're just a clerk at this pharmacy.
00:14:59If your boss finds out you're refusing such valuable reishi,
00:15:03I don't believe for a second he wouldn't kick you out.
00:15:05Hey!
00:15:05Wait!
00:15:06Don't!
00:15:07I'll buy it right now.
00:15:18Well, this one's just three years old.
00:15:21That'll be a hundred and ten bucks.
00:15:23Don't try to fool me.
00:15:24Not selling for less than one fifty.
00:15:26Not a penny less.
00:15:27If it's less than that, I just can't help what comes out of my mouth.
00:15:31You...
00:15:34Fine.
00:15:35One fifty it is.
00:15:41That tramp, Laura.
00:15:43It's been less than a year since my son passed.
00:15:46She just couldn't stay lonely and already found herself some guy.
00:15:50You don't think she's planning to get remarried, do you?
00:15:53Mom, don't blame me for saying this,
00:15:55but she's not acting like a proper widow.
00:15:57That's just trouble waiting to happen.
00:15:59If she really finds some guy to back her up,
00:16:01then with Amelia, will you still get to call the shots?
00:16:04No way.
00:16:06The butcher wants Amelia as his adoptive daughter-in-law.
00:16:09That's a blessing dropping right in our laps.
00:16:11Just the wedding gift is enough to buy food for the family for half a year.
00:16:16Two kids' clothes are all patched.
00:16:18Now that we have cash, I'll head out to...
00:16:21get some cloth for them.
00:16:24So, while that tramp isn't back yet,
00:16:26let's just send Amelia to the butcher's house right now.
00:16:36Laura is such a spendthrift.
00:16:38My grandson has to eat porridge every day.
00:16:41Why should that worthless Amelia get to eat eggs?
00:16:44Yara, in a moment, take this chicken with us.
00:16:47Don't worry, Mom.
00:16:49Let's go.
00:16:53What are you doing here?
00:16:56Amelia, we have found a great match for you.
00:16:59He's from the next town over, from the butcher's family.
00:17:02They slaughter pigs every day.
00:17:04You'll have meat at every meal.
00:17:06It's better than staying with your mom and eating weeds every day.
00:17:09Come on.
00:17:10I'm not going.
00:17:12Marry him yourself.
00:17:14Amelia, don't be foolish.
00:17:16Your mom is dead set on remarrying.
00:17:18Once she finds some other man out there,
00:17:21she won't want a burden like you around anymore.
00:17:26Don't think I don't know what's going on.
00:17:28You just want to sell me to the butcher
00:17:30as a child bride for his idiot son.
00:17:33I'm definitely not going with you.
00:17:38I'm your grandma.
00:17:40You have to listen to me.
00:17:41Move.
00:17:42Hurry up.
00:17:44You bad man.
00:17:46If you don't let go of my sister right now,
00:17:48I'll let the chickens peck you.
00:17:52That bitch, Laura.
00:17:53She killed her husband and still can't behave.
00:17:56She even brought back a bastard,
00:17:58ruining the Lye family's reputation.
00:18:00Don't hurt my brother.
00:18:03This girl is truly an ungrateful brat.
00:18:06I'm being kind,
00:18:08finding you a good family with plenty to eat.
00:18:10Not only are you ungrateful,
00:18:12but you're even helping this little bastard
00:18:13to go against me.
00:18:15Move.
00:18:18Let go of my sis.
00:18:20If I have to,
00:18:21and drag you to that butcher's house.
00:18:23Once the deed is done,
00:18:25even if your mom cries her eyes out when she returns,
00:18:27she'll have to accept this marriage.
00:18:30Hurry up.
00:18:55Oh my.
00:18:58Everyone,
00:18:59come and look at this.
00:19:00Someone,
00:19:01please help me.
00:19:03I'm such a miserable woman.
00:19:05My eldest son hasn't even been gone a year,
00:19:08and his wife
00:19:09is already out there fooling around.
00:19:12She's chasing after other men.
00:19:14Now she's even brought a bastard back home.
00:19:18Oh my.
00:19:19Laura,
00:19:20you can't be this heartless.
00:19:21You're so desperate to get remarried
00:19:23that you don't even care
00:19:24if Amelia is resented by some random man
00:19:26for being a burden.
00:19:27She's just baggage to you.
00:19:29But mom cares about her own granddaughter.
00:19:32She wants to take Amelia away to save her.
00:19:34You can't just screw over your own daughter.
00:19:37She's a widow,
00:19:39yet in broad daylight,
00:19:40she was all over Donald at the pharmacy.
00:19:42Those men were even stuffing money in her hands.
00:19:45Tell me,
00:19:46with Amelia watching all of this,
00:19:48how is she supposed to turn out okay?
00:19:49I'm her grandma.
00:19:51Don't I have the right to take her?
00:19:53I'm just afraid my granddaughter
00:19:55will be corrupted by this tramp.
00:19:59You old hag.
00:20:00If you want to take Amelia,
00:20:02you'll have to kill me first.
00:20:04Yara,
00:20:04Laura,
00:20:05won't really fight us to the death,
00:20:07will she?
00:20:07Maybe we should just leave.
00:20:09Mom,
00:20:10can you really go home empty-handed?
00:20:12She'll only look down on you even more.
00:20:15Didn't she borrow $300
00:20:16to pay for my brother's medical bills?
00:20:19Make her pay it back.
00:20:20If she can't,
00:20:21take Amelia instead.
00:20:23Last spring,
00:20:24let you $300.
00:20:27That money was meant to save my son's life.
00:20:29Now that he's gone,
00:20:30you have to pay it back.
00:20:32Otherwise,
00:20:33I'll take Amelia to settle the debt with the butcher.
00:20:35Fine.
00:20:36I'll pay you back.
00:20:37Just stay away from my daughter.
00:20:40No.
00:20:42Need to add interest to make it worth my while.
00:20:46Alright,
00:20:46I've done the math.
00:20:47For these 15 months,
00:20:49principal plus interest.
00:20:50Comes to exactly $3,000.
00:20:52Not a penny less.
00:20:54What?
00:20:55$300?
00:20:56It's only been a year.
00:20:58The interest is 10 times that.
00:21:00Even for a loan shark,
00:21:02this is way too much.
00:21:03What do you know?
00:21:04Huh?
00:21:05Times are hard right now.
00:21:07Money during a crisis
00:21:08is worth more than life itself.
00:21:10That $300 was my funeral fund.
00:21:13You haven't paid it back for over a year.
00:21:16With the principal and interest,
00:21:18why shouldn't I ask for more?
00:21:20But my husband
00:21:21was working for the whole family
00:21:23when he collapsed from exhaustion.
00:21:25As soon as he fell ill,
00:21:27you were heartless enough to split the estate.
00:21:29You wouldn't even give a single pot to my family.
00:21:31I had no choice.
00:21:33That's why I borrowed from you.
00:21:36It's because you're a jinx.
00:21:38You're just a jinx.
00:21:40If he hadn't been blind enough to marry you,
00:21:43my boy would still be out there working a job today.
00:21:47Think of how much he would have earned in a year.
00:21:49She's right, Laura.
00:21:50Before you married him,
00:21:52my brother never even had a cough or a fever.
00:21:54He was so strong.
00:21:56Mom was counting on him
00:21:58to take care of her in her old age.
00:22:00But now,
00:22:02she's the one burying him.
00:22:04It's so tragic.
00:22:07If my son were still alive,
00:22:09he'd be giving me $50 every year.
00:22:13That $300 principal
00:22:14plus 50 years worth of the support he'd have given me,
00:22:18how is that not worth $3,000?
00:22:21If you don't pay me back today,
00:22:23I'll...
00:22:24I'll kill myself right in front of you!
00:22:27Hey, everyone.
00:22:28Everyone, come and look.
00:22:29This ungrateful brat
00:22:31is driving her mother-in-law to her death.
00:22:32Go ahead, you old hag.
00:22:34If you actually kill yourself,
00:22:35I'll spend $3,000
00:22:36to buy you a high-quality coffin.
00:22:41Mom,
00:22:41she must be over 60.
00:22:44In 50 more years,
00:22:45she'll be over 100.
00:22:47Do bad people live that long?
00:22:50Didn't Master say
00:22:51that bad people get what they deserve?
00:22:54You little brat.
00:22:55How dare you curse me?
00:22:57It's okay, Dylan.
00:22:58Don't be afraid.
00:23:00Hey!
00:23:03You!
00:23:04If you don't pay me back,
00:23:05you have to pick one of these two children.
00:23:07I'll sell them to pay the debt.
00:23:10They're both my own flesh and blood.
00:23:12How can I choose?
00:23:13Who's...
00:23:14Oh.
00:23:18Won't move.
00:23:20Don't hurt them.
00:23:22I'm not trying to dodge the debt.
00:23:24It's just that...
00:23:25My husband was your own son, after all.
00:23:29Of the $300 we borrowed,
00:23:3150 went toward his coffin.
00:23:33For your son's sake,
00:23:35please lower the interest.
00:23:37Fine.
00:23:38I'm not an unreasonable person.
00:23:40Just pay back a little for now.
00:23:42Enough so an old woman like me
00:23:43can at least survive.
00:23:48Laura still has money for fabric and food.
00:23:51You might as well give it to our mom.
00:23:55Give it here.
00:23:58You're a jinx.
00:23:59You took my money,
00:24:00and it clearly all went into your own pocket.
00:24:03You didn't spend any of it on my son,
00:24:05for his medicine, or a doctor.
00:24:07Because of you, my son is dead.
00:24:10Listen up.
00:24:11$3,000.
00:24:12Not a penny less.
00:24:14I'm taking her today.
00:24:16Please, sir, don't sell my sis.
00:24:19Give us three days.
00:24:20We'll pay you back for sure in three days.
00:24:23Fine.
00:24:24Three days it is.
00:24:26In three days,
00:24:27I'll return every cent of those $3,000.
00:24:30Let Amelia go first.
00:24:32Fine.
00:24:33Three days it is.
00:24:34In three days,
00:24:36if I don't see that money,
00:24:37I'll take Amelia to the butcher's family.
00:24:42Are you okay?
00:24:43Don't be afraid.
00:24:45I'm here.
00:24:48It's hopeless.
00:24:49A full $3,000.
00:24:51How are we going to come up with that?
00:24:53We have nothing left.
00:24:56Let's go.
00:24:57Right now,
00:24:58we're leaving Millbrook immediately.
00:25:00Let's go.
00:25:08Hurry up and pack your things.
00:25:10Before your grandma realizes what's happening,
00:25:13we need to get out of here.
00:25:14But Mom,
00:25:15if we leave the village,
00:25:17where will we go?
00:25:19Don't worry.
00:25:20I'll protect you.
00:25:21At worst,
00:25:22I'll find some manual labor.
00:25:23If that fails,
00:25:25I'll beg or scavenge.
00:25:26Either way,
00:25:27I can still raise you both.
00:25:29Mom,
00:25:30let's go to Hillcrest
00:25:31to dig up some wild vegetables first.
00:25:33That way,
00:25:34we won't go hungry.
00:25:35Only then can I find a way to help you.
00:25:38Hey,
00:25:39Baldi,
00:25:39how can you think about food
00:25:40at a time like this?
00:25:41Dylan is right.
00:25:42We should make some wild vegetable pancakes
00:25:45to eat on the road.
00:25:46Otherwise,
00:25:46we won't get very far.
00:25:49Let's go.
00:25:59Mom,
00:26:00I'll go pick some over there.
00:26:02Okay,
00:26:03just don't wander off too far.
00:26:12Master,
00:26:13Master,
00:26:14even though you always taught me
00:26:16that I must never voluntarily
00:26:17use my bad luck to make money,
00:26:20as it would deplete my blessings,
00:26:23Mom is in trouble now.
00:26:24I have no choice but to break the rules.
00:26:37Master,
00:26:39Master,
00:26:40you're so kind and compassionate.
00:26:42I'm sure you'll agree,
00:26:44right?
00:26:46No.
00:26:50Well.
00:26:51Thanks,
00:26:52Master.
00:27:02It's too deep here.
00:27:03It'll hurt my butt if I land.
00:27:05No,
00:27:06no.
00:27:09There are too many rocks here.
00:27:11I might bleed.
00:27:12This won't work.
00:27:18This is the spot.
00:27:21Oh,
00:27:21no.
00:27:22I picked the wrong beehive.
00:27:27Dylan,
00:27:28come out.
00:27:29Let's go home.
00:27:33What on earth is this?
00:27:41This is
00:27:42thousand-year-old Reishi.
00:27:44The god of wealth
00:27:46is visiting us.
00:27:47Thank God.
00:27:48I finally don't have to drag them around,
00:27:50leaving our home behind.
00:27:52We can stay right here
00:27:53and live a peaceful life.
00:27:56Mom,
00:27:57you're amazing.
00:27:59This mushroom
00:28:00is even bigger
00:28:01than my face.
00:28:02You're right,
00:28:02Amelia.
00:28:03Your grandma
00:28:04finally has no excuse
00:28:05to meddle in your marriage anymore.
00:28:07Come here.
00:28:12Dylan,
00:28:13what happened?
00:28:14Did you fall?
00:28:15Mom,
00:28:16you found another Reishi.
00:28:18A Reishi this big.
00:28:19It must be worth
00:28:20a lot of money,
00:28:21right?
00:28:22Does this mean
00:28:23we can stay in Millbrook?
00:28:25That's right.
00:28:26It's enough to pay back
00:28:27that old hag.
00:28:28From now on,
00:28:29we're staying in Millbrook
00:28:29for good.
00:28:30No one can kick us out.
00:28:32Dylan,
00:28:33don't run off anymore.
00:28:34The trails are slippery
00:28:35and there are snakes
00:28:36and bugs out there.
00:28:37It's dangerous.
00:28:38If you're naughty again,
00:28:39I'm going to spank you.
00:28:42Mom,
00:28:43you can't spank a monk.
00:28:45Then I'll just
00:28:46smack your bald head instead.
00:28:51I'll just go ahead.
00:28:52Okay,
00:28:53enough.
00:28:54Let's go.
00:28:55Let's head home.
00:28:58Let's go.
00:29:01Mom,
00:29:02I'm very happy today.
00:29:04Actually,
00:29:05I'm happy every single day.
00:29:07Mom,
00:29:07did he hit his head
00:29:08and go crazy?
00:29:10Don't talk nonsense.
00:29:14Hey,
00:29:15what do you want now?
00:29:17Haven't messed with you lately.
00:29:18I'm off the clock.
00:29:20I'm here to sell some herbs.
00:29:26Wait,
00:29:27are you wholesaling
00:29:28these reishi?
00:29:31Hey,
00:29:32wait.
00:29:34Why is this so huge?
00:29:41It's
00:29:42thousand-year-old reishi.
00:29:45You've really hit the jackpot.
00:29:47Cut the nonsense
00:29:48and just pay me.
00:30:05Smells sweet.
00:30:07Three thousand.
00:30:08That old hag
00:30:09is getting a real bargain.
00:30:11No,
00:30:12she is so wicked.
00:30:13What if she takes the money
00:30:15and then goes back
00:30:16on her word?
00:30:18Need to find a way.
00:30:33Mayor?
00:30:35Mayor,
00:30:36are you home?
00:30:40Mayor?
00:30:42Didn't know
00:30:43he was in such good shape.
00:30:45Oh,
00:30:45I'm sorry.
00:30:46I'll put some clothes on.
00:30:47Just a second.
00:30:59Mayor?
00:31:00Plan to pay back
00:31:01my mother-in-law
00:31:01the day after tomorrow,
00:31:03but I don't feel right about it.
00:31:05I'm afraid she'll deny it later.
00:31:06I want you to be my witness.
00:31:08Could you help me?
00:31:09Hey,
00:31:09don't be this polite.
00:31:10Since you're a widow
00:31:11and her child alone,
00:31:12I'll help however I can.
00:31:14I didn't mean that
00:31:15because you're a widow
00:31:15and her child,
00:31:16that's why I'm helping.
00:31:17I just want to help you.
00:31:19No,
00:31:19no,
00:31:20I,
00:31:20what I mean is
00:31:21I'm helping
00:31:22because it's you.
00:31:24Ah,
00:31:25my,
00:31:25my big mouth.
00:31:26No,
00:31:27Laura,
00:31:27I didn't mean it that way.
00:31:29Don't,
00:31:29don't misunderstand me.
00:31:30I didn't mean any disrespect.
00:31:32Mayor,
00:31:32how could I misunderstand you?
00:31:34Someone as straightforward as you,
00:31:36who wouldn't appreciate that?
00:31:39My egg just laid a chicken.
00:31:41I have to go play midwife.
00:31:46Hey,
00:31:46Laura,
00:31:47these eggs.
00:31:49Oh,
00:31:50it's broken.
00:31:51Ah!
00:31:53Ganks,
00:31:54your three days are up.
00:31:55Where's my money?
00:32:02Oh,
00:32:02mayor.
00:32:04What are you doing here?
00:32:06I specifically invited the mayor
00:32:07to be a witness.
00:32:08We're putting it in writing
00:32:10for all to see
00:32:11so no one can twist
00:32:12the truth later
00:32:13or cause any confusion.
00:32:15This brat
00:32:16is certainly calculating.
00:32:18How did she know
00:32:19what I was planning?
00:32:21Haha,
00:32:22we're all family.
00:32:23Why talk about signing papers?
00:32:25It makes things so awkward.
00:32:27Um,
00:32:28this is the last time
00:32:29I'm calling you that.
00:32:31Once this thumbprint is pressed,
00:32:33we will sever all ties
00:32:34with the Slaters.
00:32:36No support in life,
00:32:37no burial in death.
00:32:39We're done with each other
00:32:40for good.
00:32:41That won't do.
00:32:42You're my eldest daughter-in-law.
00:32:43You can't just abandon me.
00:32:49Zoe,
00:32:51press your print
00:32:52and the money is yours.
00:32:54If you don't,
00:32:56you won't leave
00:32:57with a single cent today.
00:33:02fine.
00:33:04I know what you're up to.
00:33:06You just want to
00:33:07hurry up and remarry.
00:33:09Agree.
00:33:19Bear.
00:33:20I have things to do.
00:33:22I'll be going now.
00:33:36Laura,
00:33:37why were you willing
00:33:38to give her so much money?
00:33:39You're raising two kids
00:33:40on your own
00:33:41and it isn't easy.
00:33:42Half of this money
00:33:42is to make a clean break.
00:33:44As for the other half,
00:33:45it's for my late husband's sake
00:33:47to show one last bit of respect.
00:33:49But I'm not being
00:33:50blindly devoted.
00:33:51Over the years,
00:33:52I've suffered more than enough.
00:33:54Whether Zoe lives
00:33:55or dies from now on,
00:33:56it has nothing to do with me.
00:34:07Laura,
00:34:09just live your life in peace.
00:34:11With me around,
00:34:12no one will dare bully you.
00:34:16Pah.
00:34:19With all this money,
00:34:21I'm not afraid
00:34:22of that jinx
00:34:22cutting ties with me.
00:34:24But I still have to find a way
00:34:26to get the wedding gift
00:34:27from the butchers
00:34:27into my hands.
00:34:30But mom,
00:34:31you just signed the papers.
00:34:32Doesn't that brat Amelia
00:34:33have nothing to do with us now?
00:34:35Amelia is live family blood.
00:34:37A worthless piece of paper
00:34:38can't break our blood relation.
00:34:40How about this?
00:34:41Let's go to the butchers
00:34:42and collect the gift now.
00:34:44Once we get the money,
00:34:45the whole family
00:34:46will skip town for a few days
00:34:47to let things cool down.
00:34:49When the butchers' family
00:34:50gets tired of waiting,
00:34:52he'll naturally go to take her.
00:34:53Mom,
00:34:54you're really calculating.
00:34:56Let's head to the butchers now
00:34:57before the news of the split spreads
00:35:00and ruins everything.
00:35:04Mom,
00:35:05we're carrying so much cash
00:35:07to the butchers.
00:35:08What if a thief spots us?
00:35:10My clothes are brand new,
00:35:11the pockets are sewn tight.
00:35:13Why don't you let me carry it?
00:35:14It'll be much safer with me.
00:35:17Nice try.
00:35:18If this money gets into your hands,
00:35:19you'll never let go of it.
00:35:21Do you think I'm senile?
00:35:22All these years,
00:35:24you've been secretly funneling money
00:35:25to your parents.
00:35:26You know exactly what you've been doing.
00:35:30Mom,
00:35:31that's a bit harsh.
00:35:33All these years,
00:35:34I've put the Lai family first
00:35:35in everything.
00:35:36I was just trying to help you
00:35:37manage the money.
00:35:38If you're not grateful,
00:35:40fine,
00:35:40but don't treat me like a thief.
00:35:43You're just focused on moving
00:35:44the Lai's assets
00:35:45back to your own parents.
00:35:47When your dad was sick last year,
00:35:49you secretly took the money
00:35:51for the farm cow
00:35:51to pay for his treatment.
00:35:53Then,
00:35:54when your brother
00:35:55was building his house,
00:35:56you even took my copper basin
00:35:58to trade for bricks.
00:36:01You ungrateful brat!
00:36:02If you dare drain
00:36:04the Lai family's funds again
00:36:05to bail out your parents,
00:36:07I'll have my son divorce you.
00:36:10Anyway,
00:36:11now that I have these $3,000,
00:36:13finding my son a new wife
00:36:15would be more than easy.
00:36:17Young women from all over the county
00:36:19would be begging to marry him.
00:36:22You old hag,
00:36:24I've put up with you long enough.
00:36:27You're giving me that money today,
00:36:29whether you like it or not.
00:36:37You old hag.
00:36:38Did you think I'd be like that idiot Laura
00:36:40and let you walk all over me?
00:36:44Just you.
00:36:46I have money now,
00:36:48so I can stand on my own.
00:36:51You old hag.
00:36:52If you dare talk my husband
00:36:54into finding a new wife,
00:36:55I'll take your grandson
00:36:56and your son
00:36:57and move out.
00:36:58You...
00:37:01You...
00:37:08Instant karma.
00:37:10I guess karma
00:37:11really does catch up
00:37:12with you bitch.
00:37:19Ah!
00:37:21My leg.
00:37:23My leg's broken.
00:37:25Someone help me.
00:37:29My leg.
00:37:31Mayor,
00:37:32thank you so much for today.
00:37:34You must do me the honor
00:37:36of staying for dinner.
00:37:37Couldn't possibly.
00:37:39No one has enough food
00:37:40to spare these days.
00:37:41It's settled then.
00:37:42I'll go start cooking now.
00:37:44Laura.
00:37:46Sir,
00:37:47do you feel bad about
00:37:48getting something for nothing?
00:37:50Yeah.
00:37:51It's all right, sir.
00:37:52When I first started
00:37:54seeking alms,
00:37:55I felt the same way.
00:37:57So I thought of
00:37:58a good solution for you.
00:38:06So this is the good solution
00:38:08you had for me?
00:38:09Master always taught me
00:38:11that if a window
00:38:12in the house is broken,
00:38:14a gap opens in the heart.
00:38:17Distractions will seep
00:38:18through the cracks.
00:38:19I want to mend the holes
00:38:20in my mom's heart.
00:38:22But I'm still too small
00:38:23to help her.
00:38:25So I'm giving this good idea
00:38:27to you.
00:38:28I didn't think Dylan
00:38:29would be wiser
00:38:29than us adults.
00:38:31All right.
00:38:33I'll do it.
00:38:50Dylan,
00:38:51how could you trick
00:38:52Mayor into doing
00:38:53all your chores?
00:38:54Mom,
00:38:55how could you?
00:38:56In front of the sir,
00:38:58expose me like that.
00:39:02Didn't think a little monk
00:39:03would be so sneaky.
00:39:05He's a little rascal.
00:39:06Back at the temple,
00:39:07he must have tricked
00:39:08his master all the time.
00:39:10I'm just playing along
00:39:10with him.
00:39:11Let me help you.
00:39:20Ah,
00:39:21Mayor,
00:39:21dinner's ready.
00:39:22Let's go eat.
00:39:23All right.
00:39:23Let's go make food.
00:39:25Huh?
00:39:26Uh,
00:39:26we're eating.
00:39:27Let's go.
00:39:28Hey.
00:39:39Dylan,
00:39:40you're truly the cutest kid
00:39:42I've ever seen.
00:39:43I'm six.
00:39:44I'm not a toddler anymore.
00:39:47Six,
00:39:48are you?
00:39:50Six.
00:39:50Are you?
00:39:53If my late wife
00:39:54had safely given birth
00:39:55birth to our child,
00:39:57they'd be six by now.
00:40:01Mayor,
00:40:02he looks just like you.
00:40:06Sir,
00:40:07are you my daddy?
00:40:09stop thinking about it.
00:40:11It's impossible.
00:40:12When my wife was about
00:40:13to give birth back then,
00:40:14she fell off Whispering Cliff.
00:40:17Bad place.
00:40:19No one survives a fall like that.
00:40:21There was no way
00:40:22she could have lived.
00:40:24My child just didn't have
00:40:25that kind of luck.
00:40:28For these past six years,
00:40:30I've been thinking,
00:40:31if only I hadn't been so obsessed
00:40:33with the farm work
00:40:34and had stayed by her side
00:40:36every single day.
00:40:38Maybe I could have
00:40:39saved them both.
00:40:40Cold porridge can be reheated,
00:40:42but once someone is gone,
00:40:44they're really gone.
00:40:48Mayor,
00:40:49when my daddy first passed away,
00:40:50I used to cry all the time too.
00:40:53But mom said that daddy
00:40:54is watching over us from heaven.
00:40:56If he knew I was always crying,
00:40:58he'd worry about me.
00:40:59Your wife must be in heaven too,
00:41:01hoping that you, Mayor,
00:41:03can be happy.
00:41:04Sir,
00:41:05Master says that memories
00:41:06aren't stumbling blocks,
00:41:08but bricks to build on.
00:41:10When you step on them,
00:41:12you can remember
00:41:12the warmth of the past
00:41:14and see the road ahead
00:41:15more clearly.
00:41:16Good boy.
00:41:17You're right.
00:41:19If my wife saw me like this,
00:41:21she'd give me a piece of her mind.
00:41:23I'll smile more from now on.
00:41:25So she doesn't have to worry.
00:41:30We all need to look forward.
00:41:31Let's not talk about the sad things.
00:41:33These were just pickled yesterday
00:41:35and eat them with corn buns.
00:41:37They're just right.
00:41:38Come on,
00:41:43Amelia,
00:41:44Mayor.
00:41:52Oh.
00:41:54You got sauce on your clothes.
00:41:56It'll be hard to wash out.
00:41:57Better change it quickly.
00:42:08I'll take into change.
00:42:10Go ahead.
00:42:14Please eat, Mayor.
00:42:16Come on.
00:42:25Mom,
00:42:26look him.
00:42:27The little baldy
00:42:28turned into a bald sis.
00:42:30Villain,
00:42:31why are you wearing
00:42:32Amelia's clothes?
00:42:33She doesn't want a brother.
00:42:35If I become a sis,
00:42:37she'll agree to be my elder sis.
00:42:39I want a sis!
00:42:41You know,
00:42:42with this red fabric,
00:42:43his little face looks so fair
00:42:45and soft,
00:42:46he actually looks more like a girl
00:42:48than Amelia does.
00:42:49I want to wear red clothes
00:42:50every day.
00:42:51That way,
00:42:52I'll have a sis every day.
00:42:54Okay?
00:42:55I will have a daughter
00:42:56to dote on every day.
00:43:02My family's been harvesting herbs
00:43:03for generations.
00:43:04Even looking back 18 generations,
00:43:07we've never seen anything
00:43:08of this quality,
00:43:09especially a reishi mushroom.
00:43:11How does that widow
00:43:12have such good luck?
00:43:23There's been a severe drought
00:43:25for years.
00:43:26The soil in Hillcrest
00:43:27is bone dry.
00:43:28There's no way
00:43:30she could find a reishi mushroom
00:43:31this good.
00:43:32Besides,
00:43:34I've searched every inch
00:43:35of Hillcrest.
00:43:36I haven't even found
00:43:37a single decent mushroom.
00:43:39How can she?
00:43:41Keep coming back
00:43:42every few days
00:43:42to sell them?
00:43:47Wait.
00:43:49This doesn't make sense.
00:43:51She must be up to something.
00:43:58Mayor,
00:43:59why don't you stay
00:43:59a little longer?
00:44:00The rice soup
00:44:01is still warm in the pot.
00:44:02No,
00:44:02I still have to head
00:44:03to the market.
00:44:04I'll pick up some fruit candies
00:44:05for the kids.
00:44:06Sir,
00:44:06I've been thinking.
00:44:07I'm only six years old.
00:44:09I really am just a child.
00:44:12Please don't forget me
00:44:13when you get back, sir.
00:44:16Alright,
00:44:16when I return,
00:44:17I'll make sure you get
00:44:18the most fruit candies.
00:44:19You're so kind, sir.
00:44:21I'm sure you'll live
00:44:22to be a hundred.
00:44:24I'm off.
00:44:25Take care.
00:44:28Ow!
00:44:29Dylan,
00:44:30are you okay?
00:44:31Mom!
00:44:31Our chicken flew back!
00:44:33Wait.
00:44:34In this world,
00:44:35how could things
00:44:36be this coincidental
00:44:37all the time?
00:44:38Amelia,
00:44:39go to catch some bugs
00:44:40to feed the chicken now.
00:44:41Okay?
00:44:42Go on.
00:44:45Dylan,
00:44:46come on.
00:44:56Dylan,
00:44:57tell me the truth.
00:44:58Why is it that
00:44:59every time you get hurt,
00:45:00something good
00:45:01happens to our family?
00:45:02Don't even think
00:45:03about fooling me.
00:45:04This weirdness
00:45:05definitely has
00:45:06something to do
00:45:06with you.
00:45:08Master told me
00:45:09I shouldn't just
00:45:10tell anyone.
00:45:11But you're not
00:45:12a stranger.
00:45:13You're the person
00:45:14who loved me the most.
00:45:17Mom,
00:45:18I was born unlucky.
00:45:20But whenever
00:45:20I have bad luck,
00:45:22it brings good luck
00:45:23to the people around me.
00:45:24What did you say?
00:45:26Knew it.
00:45:27No wonder
00:45:27every time you got
00:45:28a bump or a bruise,
00:45:30we would end up
00:45:31getting some money.
00:45:31Then all these years,
00:45:34haven't you been suffering?
00:45:36At most,
00:45:37it's just
00:45:37stubbing my toe
00:45:38while walking,
00:45:39biting my tongue
00:45:40while eating,
00:45:41and getting chased
00:45:42by dogs.
00:45:43It doesn't really hurt.
00:45:45I'm already used to it.
00:45:48I was so
00:45:49cluelessly happy before,
00:45:51thinking God
00:45:51was showing me mercy.
00:45:53It turns out,
00:45:54you're the one
00:45:55who's been helping me
00:45:55get through the hard times.
00:45:58Dylan,
00:45:58don't ever
00:45:59do this again.
00:46:00I don't want
00:46:01your good luck.
00:46:02I just want you
00:46:03to be okay.
00:46:04I can't control
00:46:05the bad luck.
00:46:07Master said,
00:46:08this bad luck
00:46:09is like a death curse.
00:46:11The older I get,
00:46:13the more dangerous
00:46:14the mishaps become.
00:46:15Unless I can,
00:46:17within the three months left.
00:46:21Wait,
00:46:22there's only one month left.
00:46:24If I find my dad,
00:46:26I can break this curse
00:46:27and grow up safely.
00:46:29What?
00:46:30Dylan,
00:46:31you silly child.
00:46:32Something this important?
00:46:33Why didn't you tell me sooner?
00:46:36Wait,
00:46:37now isn't the time
00:46:38to complain.
00:46:39Dylan,
00:46:39tell me more
00:46:40about your birth parents.
00:46:42Six years ago,
00:46:44Master was at the bottom
00:46:45of a cliff
00:46:46when he saved my mom.
00:46:48She was severely injured.
00:46:50She couldn't even speak
00:46:52before she passed away.
00:46:53What was the name
00:46:55of that cliff?
00:46:55Whispering Cliff,
00:46:58Master said she fell
00:46:59from such a height,
00:47:00yet she held on
00:47:01to her last breath
00:47:03to give birth to me.
00:47:05Her obsession
00:47:05was so deep
00:47:06that she defied fate
00:47:08to stay alive.
00:47:09But a life stolen
00:47:10from fate
00:47:11goes against
00:47:12the natural order,
00:47:13which is why
00:47:14bad luck
00:47:15always follows me.
00:47:16Then did your mom
00:47:17leave anything
00:47:18behind for you?
00:47:23This is what mom
00:47:24has been carrying,
00:47:25the jade pendant.
00:47:27Master used it
00:47:28for divination
00:47:29to find out
00:47:30I still have a dad.
00:47:32This is
00:47:33a water buffalo.
00:47:36The quality
00:47:36looks quite good.
00:47:38It must be
00:47:38an heirloom.
00:47:40Dylan,
00:47:41don't worry.
00:47:42Even if I have
00:47:43to search everywhere,
00:47:44I will definitely
00:47:45help you find your dad.
00:47:50Well, Laura,
00:47:51so the secret
00:47:52to your wealth
00:47:53is this little
00:47:54bald kid.
00:48:17I'm so smart.
00:48:19I can even save money
00:48:20on hair gel this way.
00:48:21Looking good.
00:48:24Oops.
00:48:25Cough.
00:48:27Laura!
00:48:28Laura!
00:48:29Are you home?
00:48:31Donald,
00:48:32are you looking
00:48:33for trouble again?
00:48:34You pervert.
00:48:35You're not welcome here.
00:48:37Cut the crab
00:48:37and take this!
00:48:39No, no.
00:48:40I really came
00:48:41to apologize.
00:48:42You?
00:48:43Apologizing?
00:48:44The sun must be
00:48:45rising in the west.
00:48:46Laura,
00:48:47I shouldn't have
00:48:47said those nasty things
00:48:49or done
00:48:49those stupid things.
00:48:51I was a total
00:48:52piece of trash.
00:48:53Ever since I heard
00:48:54that your mother-in-law
00:48:54and sister-in-law
00:48:55one had a stroke
00:48:56and the other
00:48:57broke her leg,
00:48:58realized right then
00:48:59that I shouldn't
00:49:00do bad things.
00:49:02Otherwise,
00:49:03karma will come for me.
00:49:04I don't know
00:49:04what game you're playing,
00:49:06but you would never
00:49:07have that kind
00:49:08of realization.
00:49:08No, no, no.
00:49:09I really know
00:49:11I was wrong.
00:49:14That first reishi
00:49:15you sold,
00:49:16I was blinded
00:49:17by greed
00:49:17back then.
00:49:19Intentionally
00:49:20shorted you
00:49:20ten dollars.
00:49:22This money
00:49:23has been burning
00:49:24a hole
00:49:25in my pocket.
00:49:25I must
00:49:26give it to you
00:49:27today.
00:49:28Donald
00:49:29values money
00:49:30more than
00:49:31his own life.
00:49:32I can't believe
00:49:33he's actually
00:49:33coughing up cash.
00:49:35Has he really
00:49:35had a change of heart?
00:49:37Whatever.
00:49:38A guest is a guest.
00:49:39Come in for a cup
00:49:40of tea before you go.
00:49:41Come on.
00:49:46Laura,
00:49:46thank you for not
00:49:47holding a grudge.
00:49:48When I think about
00:49:49the foolish things
00:49:50I did before,
00:49:51it eats at me
00:49:51every time I close
00:49:52my eyes at night.
00:49:54Little master,
00:49:55if I keep doing
00:49:56good deeds from now on,
00:49:57can I earn some
00:49:57good karma?
00:49:58Of course you can,
00:50:00pervert.
00:50:00That's great.
00:50:02I committed a sin
00:50:03seven years ago
00:50:04by getting a girl
00:50:05from out of town
00:50:05pregnant out of wedlock.
00:50:07Because of that,
00:50:08while she was pregnant,
00:50:09her family kicked her out.
00:50:10She's been missing
00:50:11ever since.
00:50:12I just hope that
00:50:13by doing good deeds,
00:50:14God will take pity on me
00:50:15and help me find her
00:50:16and the child.
00:50:17You're saying
00:50:18that you might have
00:50:19a six-year-old child?
00:50:20Then tell me
00:50:21everything in detail.
00:50:24Seven years ago,
00:50:25I was at the brickyard
00:50:26and fell in love
00:50:26with Avery,
00:50:27who was from out of town.
00:50:28But her parents
00:50:29insisted on a hundred
00:50:30for the wedding gift.
00:50:31No matter how much
00:50:32I begged,
00:50:32it was no use.
00:50:33I was forced
00:50:34to part ways with her.
00:50:39She was pregnant.
00:50:40I searched for her
00:50:41at her house
00:50:41like a madman,
00:50:42but I found out
00:50:43that her parents
00:50:44thought she was a disgrace.
00:50:45They were heartless,
00:50:46and they kicked
00:50:47a pregnant Avery
00:50:48out of the house.
00:50:49So what happened
00:50:49to Avery after that?
00:50:50Why didn't she
00:50:51come looking for you?
00:50:52Die.
00:50:54Heard she was
00:50:55on her way
00:50:55to find me,
00:50:56but she fell off
00:50:57a cliff and died.
00:50:58But I don't believe it.
00:51:01As long as I haven't found her,
00:51:02I believe she and the kid
00:51:04must still be alive.
00:51:06Which cliff was it?
00:51:08This is great.
00:51:09There might be hope
00:51:10for Dylan.
00:51:11Whispering Cliff.
00:51:12What's wrong?
00:51:16Mom?
00:51:17Did I finally find Daddy?
00:51:19Don't worry, Dylan.
00:51:20Let me get the details first.
00:51:23Did Avery leave
00:51:24anything behind?
00:51:25Or was she carrying
00:51:26any personal items?
00:51:28Oh, right.
00:51:29Avery always carried
00:51:31the jade pendant
00:51:31I gave her
00:51:32as a token of my love.
00:51:33On it,
00:51:34there was a water buffalo
00:51:35engraved.
00:51:36So that's what
00:51:37the water buffalo meant.
00:51:38Daddy!
00:51:39I finally found you!
00:51:41Daddy, look!
00:51:44He fell for it.
00:51:49Yes!
00:51:50This is the jade pendant.
00:51:53Oh, my son!
00:51:55I finally found you!
00:51:56Ha ha!
00:51:57This is wonderful.
00:51:59Thank God.
00:52:00Dylan finally found his father.
00:52:03He can finally
00:52:04grow up healthy now.
00:52:06Dylan,
00:52:06all these years,
00:52:08I've let you down.
00:52:10Come on.
00:52:11Come home with me now.
00:52:13I'll cook you a nice meal.
00:52:14I'll make up
00:52:15for all these years.
00:52:16Wait.
00:52:17Can I sleep with Mom?
00:52:20What are you talking about?
00:52:22You're my son.
00:52:23You're coming home
00:52:24with me now.
00:52:27No one is taking my brother.
00:52:29Don't want to be apart
00:52:30from Sis and Mom.
00:52:32Can you let Dylan
00:52:33stay with us
00:52:33for two more days?
00:52:35Amelia and I
00:52:36really can't bear
00:52:37to let Dylan go.
00:52:39Those two vixens
00:52:40just have to cause trouble
00:52:42at a time like this.
00:52:44Either way,
00:52:45I'll have to use some tricks
00:52:47to get this kid home first.
00:52:50It's my fault
00:52:51for being so impatient.
00:52:53As a father,
00:52:54I haven't looked after him
00:52:55in years.
00:52:56It's my own fault
00:52:57he won't acknowledge me.
00:52:58But I was just so happy.
00:53:00I wanted him to claim
00:53:01his heritage
00:53:02as soon as possible.
00:53:03To break Dylan's bad luck,
00:53:04maybe claiming his heritage
00:53:06is exactly what's needed.
00:53:08Can't be so selfish.
00:53:10Keeping Dylan by my side
00:53:11might ruin his entire life.
00:53:15Amelia,
00:53:16Dylan has found
00:53:17his biological father.
00:53:18That's another person
00:53:19to love Dylan.
00:53:20You should be happy for him.
00:53:22But your daddy
00:53:22has been looking for you
00:53:23for six years.
00:53:25He definitely wants
00:53:26to spend more time with you.
00:53:27You wouldn't want
00:53:28to make your daddy sad.
00:53:32Daddy,
00:53:32don't be sad.
00:53:33I'll go home with you.
00:53:36Dylan,
00:53:36I know you're
00:53:37such a good boy.
00:53:41These are all
00:53:42my favorite toys.
00:53:43I'm giving them
00:53:44all to you.
00:53:45If anyone dares
00:53:46to bully you,
00:53:47just tell me.
00:53:48I'll beat them up for you.
00:53:57Mom,
00:53:58if you miss me at night,
00:54:04just look at this
00:54:05jade pendant.
00:54:07Dylan,
00:54:08remember this.
00:54:09Our door
00:54:10is always open for you.
00:54:11On the stove,
00:54:12there will always
00:54:13be a warm meal
00:54:14waiting for you.
00:54:15Whenever you want
00:54:16to come back,
00:54:17just come back.
00:54:18Are you guys done yet?
00:54:19You're costing me money.
00:54:22Coughs.
00:54:22Let's go home.
00:54:24Heh heh heh.
00:54:27Dylan.
00:54:28Mom.
00:54:29Mom.
00:54:58What do you think?
00:54:59that even after finding my dad,
00:55:01the bad luck still persists.
00:55:03Sigh.
00:55:10Gold!
00:55:11Looks like that trick wasn't for nothing.
00:55:13This little monk is basically a cash cow.
00:55:17Dylan, I love you so much.
00:55:21I shouldn't have doubted dad.
00:55:23Maybe it's because I just found him
00:55:26and we haven't bonded yet.
00:55:27But that's why the bad luck hasn't gone away.
00:55:32Let's go!
00:55:33Ha ha!
00:55:47Dad, why are you locking me up?
00:55:50Be good and stay inside for a bit.
00:55:52I'm going to do some yard work.
00:55:54Dad, don't leave!
00:55:55Dad!
00:55:56I finally tricked this little gold mine into coming home.
00:55:59If I don't lock him up and he runs away,
00:56:01then what?
00:56:03So much money.
00:56:05Enough for me to live it up at the casino
00:56:07for a whole day and night.
00:56:09Damn it.
00:56:10I'm definitely winning it all back.
00:56:13Hm.
00:56:14Dad, don't lock me in here.
00:56:16I'm scared.
00:56:18I'm scared.
00:56:24Amelia.
00:56:26Miss you.
00:56:47damn it I lost everything so damn unlucky as long as I have this cash cow
00:56:55I can afford to lose whatever I want huh where are you going daddy I miss mom I want to
