【FULL】EP06 Susu was forced to return to the Fei family😫|This Thriving Land 生万物 | iQIYI
[This Thriving Land] [Episode 6] Do you know she’s just a child? How could you even think of that? Are you even human? Kejin. What are you doing? I’m not dead yet! You’ve got no say in this family! Fine! Today, I’ll show you— as long as I, Ning Kejin,
am standing here, nobody takes my sister away! Get the hell out of here now! Or, I’ll beat you to death! Try me! Alright. I’ve brought Susu back now. I’ll take my leave now. Mr. Fei! You can’t leave without Susu! Susu, go to the Fei family as a bride now. From today on, don’t ever mention that you’re a substitute bride
for your sister. Bury those words deep inside. Go to the Fei family, and be a good wife. No, Mother. Please, I’m begging you. Mother! Mother, you can’t do this. Mother! Kejin! Kejin. Didn’t you hear Mother? Hurry up— go hitch the cart! Ning Xuexiang. We’ll settle our matters later. From now on, you don’t get a say anymore. Auntie, I can’t take her as my wife. Mr. Fei. Auntie. Let me pay my respects to you. Mother! Mother! Mother. What are you doing? Mother. Faster get up! Please also accept my apologies. Mother. What are you doing? Send your sister back! Susu. Mother… Let’s go, Susu. Mother! Mother… Mother, I don’t want to leave. Mother… Mother! What a sin! Where are you off to? Where do you think? To the fields! Does that gruel get to your brain? Frost’s thick as sheep’s wool out there— you may as well bed down in the dirt! First nine, second nine, hands stay tucked tight. Third nine, fourth nine, tread the ice light. Fifth nine, sixth nine, see willows in sight. Seventh nine, rivers thaw; Eighth nine, wild geese scream. Ninth nine plus one more, fields with oxen teem. Fields with oxen teem. Fields with oxen teem. Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu. Uncle Liu. We’re back! Is the warehouse cleared out? All set. Then let’s get them to move the stuff. Madam is back. Did the collection go smoothly
with these households? Nope. The same old story at year-end. They all know I’m a pushover, so they beg poverty to my face. You take over tomorrow. This job isn’t physically tiring, but it’s mentally exhausting. Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! What’s the matter? I wanna go home and see my family. Didn’t you just go back yesterday? My mother’s sick—real bad sick. I’m worried about her. Yesterday when I was home, I didn’t even get to really talk with her. I couldn’t sleep a wink all night. Alright, don’t worry too much. Go wait inside— I’ll ask Qing to hitch the cart
and send you back. Thank you, Sister-in-law. Now that the Young Mistress is leaving… you don’t think she’d truly never return? We can’t stop her
from visiting her mother. If she truly meant to leave us… yesterday, she’d have refused the cart. Have Qing prepare the cart— send her back. Qing, prepare the cart! Woman of Dajiao! Woman of Dajiao! Step out here— gotta word with you. You may call me by my name. Isn’t Woman of Dajiao your name? That’s what all folks holler! It doesn’t sit right with me. When you’re with us dirt-folk, you answer to dirt-folk names! Get over here. I need to tell you about something. Like the old saying goes, “wed to a cock, walk his walk; wed to a cur, no demur; wed to a bear, go where it’d fare.” Right? Now you’re wed into our Feng family, that makes you one of us. Right? There are some matters to put plain to you. Now, in this village, who’s got which field, which soil’s best— nobody knows better than me. To put it plainly: There are four prime plots. Here they are— First, your second uncle’s 32 mu. Next, Tietou’s 13 mu. Then, the 15 mu to the west of the well, which is the very land your father promised to our family. Last, the 50 mu held by Mrs. Fei. We shall strike
while the iron’s hot, I say. A dowry’s only proper. You need to go home now
and ask for the land deed— make your father sign. I’ll take the papers straight to the county office, get the red seal stamped, and keep the blank copy… Spare your words— I’ve gotten the point. If I fail to bring back those 15-mu, will the Feng family cast me out? Well… If you want it raw— here’s your bitter truth! When you crawled back
from that bandits’ lair, you’d have moldered in your hut, died an old maid— not a soul would’ve wed you. It was our Dajiao
who made you his lawful wife with a proper eight-man bridal escort! By any measure, we’re your family’s salvation. Isn’t that so? You can disown
that puffy-eyed father of yours, but that very father has to admit those 15 mu! He gave his word! It’s not like I’m taking it for free— I offered to pay! Right? Call me lowlife scum if I were grabbing it for free. But I can pay fair and square! Right? So go home. Fetch the land deed. Understand? With the land deed— Are you listening—you keep gasping. Are you going to listen or not? Let me tell you, a decent person repays debts of gratitude. Without that, a man is even worse than animals. Hey, are you going or not? Did any of this sink in or not? Hey, say something! Fine! If you bring back the land deed, you’ll remain
our family’s daughter-in-law. ♪ When Old Bao leaves
the capital in sight ♪ ♪ Both palaces scramble
in fretful plight ♪ Mother! Mother, please have some. Come on, take a sip. Pass it to me. You refuse to eat and drink— wallowing in your misery… But really, you’re making me suffer.
Isn’t that so? I’m not trying to torment you. When Xiuxiu left, she didn’t even have a full belly. As her mother, just thinking of it
brings pain in my chest. I can’t swallow a bite either. Listen to me— what’s done is done. Even if you drown yourself in misery, our girl won’t be back. You wanna die? Fine. Easy way out for you. But what’s left for me? What’s left for the family? Father, with Mother like this, can you just hold back a little? Go rest inside—I’ve got things here. Just rest. Father. Mother! Mother! Why are you back? I was so worried about Mother,
barely slept a wink. Mrs. Fei sent a cart to bring me home. Mother. Susu. How are you feeling now? Why are you back? I’ve been worried about you. Look at me! I’m okay, aren’t I? Come here. Come on here. Sit on the bed. Yesterday, I didn’t even
get a chance to ask you. Susu, are you settling in well
at the Fei family? Mother, I don’t know
what exactly good means. But out at the Fei Residence— I get to pick my meals! Mrs. Fei acts like
she’s scared to offend me— always talking soft-like, all smiles when she speaks to me. What about Fei Wendian?
Does he treat you right? I barely catch sight of him. He’s always buried in his books. Ah, look at our Susu—such a wise heart! Now this is a daughter
who bears the family’s weight. Here. Mother, let’s have a bit more. Mother, don’t you fret now— just focus on healing properly. Here. Take a sip. Here. Susu, this wasn’t to harm you— I would love to keep you home— for years, as you wish. But after what happened, finding a husband won’t be easy for you. Better you pick than be picked over. Fei Wendian is the best match— we know his family well, and he’s from a well-off family. Marry him, and build a good life together. Susu. Don’t blame me for being incapable
of providing anything better. Susu… Mother, I don’t blame you. But my sister blames me. She won’t even talk to me. About your sister… I’ll explain things to her in the future. Is she truly gone for good, living in poverty with Feng Dajiao? I can understand if she avoids Father— but to shut you out as well? Not a single thought for her mother? Xiuxiu, my child.
Don’t cry, Mother. Take a rest now. Lie down. Mother. Xiuxiu. Mother, I swear— I’ll carve a path to bring my sister back. Xiuxiu. My child, you’re my everything. Xiuxiu… Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu! Mother, where’s Xiuxiu? I’ve no idea. I went to get shoe patterns. I’ve no idea about that. Where’d she go? What’s in your hand? It’s tooth powder I bought for Xiuxiu. Hide it—don’t let your father see it. Always with the spending! Where is she? Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu? Where did Xiuxiu go? Do you know? She returned home to get the land deed. Why? I thought she said
to disown her father and land? Why is she back for the land deed now? I told her to go get it. She asked me… What did she ask? She asked if she fails
in getting the land deed, will our family cast her out? What did you say then? What could I say? I just laid out the facts for her. Next thing I know,
she’s gone for the land deed. Father! Aren’t you hounding her straight
to the grave! Xiuxiu! Why bother looking for her? Once she gets the deed, she’ll come back. Xiuxiu! So you are really here. I’ve been looking for you everwhere. Zhuzi’s wife said
you came behind the hill. Dajiao. Just leave me be. Let me go… Where are you heading to then? A girl like you—where would you go? I won’t let you leave. Then, what’s the point of staying? I’d rather die than take back those 15 mu. I know. I understand that. I won’t let you take it, neither would my mother. If my father forces you again,
I won’t tolerate it. Dajiao, you’ve done more than enough for me. I can’t have you turn cold with your father because of me. Who cares about that now? Did you think I’d abandon you? Xiuxiu, if you truly want to leave, I’ll go with you. Worst to the worst,
we can flee to Manchuria. With my strength, I’ll earn our keep anywhere. They say up there— land stretches wide and rich in the northeast China. I’ll make it work. Dajiao. It’s hard to live
at the Feng Residence anymore— but I won’t end my life foolishly. I had even survived the bandits’ lair. I’m familiar with this place. I used to come here a lot
when I was a child. Can you please help me to build a shed here? It’s sheltered from the wind— might last the winter. I want my father and your father to see, that I’ll survive without the Feng family. I won’t take a single bit of land
from the Ning family either. T—To build a shed here— just for you, all alone… Well… Even in my misery,
you’d still laugh at me? I’m not laughing at you. It’s just that… Let me see. I’m fine. You’re burning up like charcoal! We’re not going anywhere. I’m fine. We’re going home. Put me down. My father has lost his rationality
over that land. Let me down. We’ll also show your father that you, Xiuxiu, lives better than all! Let’s go home now. I’ll make it clear today. If anyone brings up
those 15 mu of land again, I’ll… Hush, Dajiao! I know you’re frantic
over Xiuxiu’s illness— but reckless oaths solve nothing. We’re family. Save your breath. Old man— put this to our boy straight: Not another word about that land, or the next thing planted
will be a fresh grave. What grave? What’s wrong with a dowry? Besides, name one bride who went without a dowry! Xiuxiu has no dowry. Then tell me what those 15 mu land are. Why exactly do we reject prime land— the richest in the village? Good or bad—none of your concern. This is my final word on the matter. If you bring up those 15 mu parcels again, I’ll take Xiuxiu and flee to Manchuria. We’ll never come back. Hold your tongue! You may just forget you ever had a son. Dajiao! The pup’s grown fangs! “Flee to Manchuria,” huh? Why not “cross the Western Pass”, or “sail to the South Seas”? Don’t say I didn’t warn you— if Dajiao leaves now, you may never see him again. Why is fate so cruel to me? Why is this happening… Wendian. Wendian. Wendian. Xiuxiu. Let’s go. Not you. It’s Dajiao. I’ll draw him away— run the moment he’s gone! Don’t! Dajiao! It’s Dajiao. Dajiao. I’m here. Xiu. I’ll always be with you. Xiu. You’re awake. Dajiao… you’ve stayed by my side. What are you trying to do? I… I want to get dressed. Then I’ll go outside. Xiu, your fever hasn’t broken. Stay down—just rest. I broke the bowl. It’s alright. Oh, she’s awake. Come here. This illness served you. All that pent-up rage needed release— or it would’ve destroyed you. Dajiao. Go get brown sugar from Humpback Guo now— Xiuxiu needs strength. On my way! It’s not necessary. Don’t bother about that.
Take your medicine. Here. Let me tell you— Dajiao warned his father yesterday. Easy, easy. He said to his father, “If you mention that land again, we’re fleeing to Manchuria together!” That’s exactly
what his father’s afraid of— he’s afraid of losing Dajiao. This tactic worked like a charm. It’s all right now. Take it slowly. Now rest easy. I’ll cook millet porridge for you, and Dajiao will mix in brown sugar
when he’s back to restore your strength. Take your medicine. Excuse me, where’s Feng Dajiao’s home, please? Here it is. Thank you. Who are you? I’m looking for my sister Xiuxiu. Miss Susu. Your sister’s ill— I’m making millet porridge
with brown sugar to rebuild her strength. Is her condition serious? The fever’s broken now. No worries— just let her rest and she’ll recover. Rest assured— our family won’t wrong your sister. Could you ask my sister— tell her that I’m here… would she see me? Sisters stand on no such ceremony! Follow me—I’ll take you to her. This way! Xiuxiu. Come on in. Xiu. Your little sister’s here to see you. Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu, Mother’s fallen ill, how come you’re sick too? Is your mother okay? Xiuxiu, have the porridge while it’s warm. Don’t let it cool. You sisters chat— I’ve work to tend to. Xiuxiu, are you still mad at me? Susu, why would you marry Fei Wendian? It was Father. He promised if I took that bridal sedan, it’d buy time to save you— swore he’d swap me out once you returned. But… he never came to swap me out. Furthermore, he forced me
to stay at the Fei Residence. Come here. I doomed you. He only cares about land— never treated us as his daughters. Xiuxiu. As long as you return safe, my suffering means nothing. Just one thing, please—
never shut me out again. Let’s be true sisters
like before. I’ll always be your elder sister. We will always be sisters. So you’ll cut my window flowers, trim my bangs, care for me like in the old days? I promise you. Xiuxiu, have some. Look how skinny you’ve become! Slowly. It’s hot. Xiuxiu, let’s go home. Mother’s ill with longing for you— hasn’t eaten in days. I ache for Mother too… but this lifetime, my feet can never cross
the Ning’s threshold again. Susu, take this to Mother for me. Tell her I’m doing well at Dajiao’s— plenty to eat and drink, no hardships at all. Never ever tell Mother I’ve been ill. I’ll find a way to visit her. Wendian. Sister-in-law, I’m here. Qing said you were looking for me. Sister-in-law. I’ve overstayed this time— heading back to school tomorrow. Leaving so soon? Fine, you may go— but you owe Susu a proper closure. Sister-in-law. I’ve already escorted her back— what more closure could she need? What closure do you think then? You were the one who married her— a grown man like you needs coaching on this? Let me tell you: the Fei Residence has been quiet for too long… it’s time for newborns. Sister-in-law, I swear I won’t touch her. Qing. Prepare a couple extra dishes tonight for the Young Master’s farewell dinner. When you miss Mother, just touch the jade pendant. Mother, it’s right here. Xiuxiu, if I miss you, I’ll touch this pendant too. These jade pendants— Grandma gave them to me as part of my dowry. You’ve worn them since childhood. And now, I pass them to you both as your dowries. Don’t be sad anymore. My girl’s come back to me! Mother, please get better soon. Here, have some porriage first. Finally, she’s willing to eat something. Madam, Qing from the Fei family is here,
urging Miss Susu’s return. I’m not going back! Mother, I want to stay
and take care of you. Madam, Mrs. Fei sent Qing with a message: If Miss Susu wishes to visit you, she can send a cart any time. But Miss Susu and Mr. Fei
just got married, staying long at her maiden home might stir gossip. Mrs. Fei makes a fair point. Susu, listen to me, you must go back. How about this: let Susu feed you this bowl of porriage,
then she’ll go back. Is that alright? Will that be okay? I’ll finish this porridge, and you’ll go back. Xiu, I know you need this daily. Only secondhand ones
left at Humpback Guo’s place, so I bought it for you. Here you are. But we already have one at home, don’t we? You can’t even see a reflection anymore
with that. I’ll polish it up tomorrow. So bright! So beautiful! What’s the matter? What’s on your mind? I miss my mother. Susu said… She’s real sick now, but still asks for me every day. How about… I go home with you to see your mother? I swore an oath— never to step foot
in the Ning Residence again. Huh? I make him stay? How can I make him stay? If he wants to leave,
how could I stop him? I don’t have that kind of power. Sister-in-law, truth be told— we barely even talk. Even if you locked us in a room together— I could count our conversations… on one hand. Susu, he’s your man, your rock. You can’t just let him leave like this! Even if he leaves, you’ve got to make him— make him leave something behind for you. Sister-in-law. These—all these— all these are yours! What’s he got? Just those raggedy old books that he has been carrying,
hugging, and holding all the time. Like I’d even want that! That’s not exactly what I mean. Then tell me. I mean— You have to make him
leave you a child! Sister-in-law! What are you talking about? That’s so embarrassing! I can’t do that. You’ve got to do it anyway. How can this go on otherwise? Wendian, pour yourself a drink too. You’re leaving soon, and I can’t keep you here. So let’s at least share a farewell toast. Come— this one’s for you. Susu, join us. Cheers. I’ll pour my own. Like what I said before, When you’re out there, you have to take care of yourself. Don’t go looking for trouble, and remember to send word home. I’ll be right here, waiting for your return. We’ll enjoy
a great New Year’s celebration together. Let me toast you again. Join us, Susu. After the New Year, our Fei family will see better days. I love New Year’s celebrations so much. but this year, I won’t make it home. Missing your maiden family again? Cheer her up. Susu, let me toast you. You know the truth— though we held the wedding ceremony, neither of us wanted this. So you’re still a free person. Whenever you wish to leave the Fei family, just ask for my help. I won’t refuse you. What kind of talk is this? Susu— he doesn’t mean to drive you away! Susu, indeed, I don’t want to drive you away. My parents don’t want me, where am I supposed to go now? You don’t need to go anywhere. Our Fei family is good enough! New Year’s celebrations here
are lively too— paper cuttings, couplets on the doors, and even firecrackers! We have that from New Year’s Eve
all the way till the 15th day! Do you like temple fairs? The one at Goddess Mountain, right? Later, Wendian and I will take you
to the temple fair! That sounds great, Sister-in-law. I love temple fairs very much. Cheers. Let’s drink this up. Sister-in-law, I’d like to toast you too. Sure. Susu, let me toast you again. May your days ahead always be this joyful. If you could… remain this heavenly being forever, that would be just great. What’s a heavenly being? Sister-in-law, is he taking
a roundabout jab at me? Nah. Susu, I’m complimenting you. He’s complimenting you. A heavenly being?
That’s someone from the heavens— so an immortal fairy, right? This fairy will drink with you! Cheers! Normally, I’m always the one
keeping you in line, never letting you drink. But today—go ahead,
drink to your heart’s content! I’ll drink with you. Come on. Let’s toast together! Do you feel the heat too? Sister-in-law, I feel the heat too. Can you have someone
remove this brazier? Sure. Alright, you two go on here. I’ll get them to remove the brazier— and bring a couple more dishes! Thank you, Sister-in-law. No problem. Sister-in-law, don’t bother with that. Not at all. Wendian, this liquor tastes sweet. I’ll have one more glass of it. Nice. It heats so much! Why does it heat so much? Sit properly. Why does it heat so much? Why does it heat so much, Wendian? Why does it heat so much? You drank too much. You’re drunk. I’m not drunk at all. The two of us— just sacrificial pawns in this farce. You’re the sacrificial pawn— I’m not. Father… Mother… Why won’t you let me come home? Xiuxiu… Xiuxiu… Xiuxiu… is that you, Xiuxiu? Xiuxiu. Don’t leave me! I want to cherish you through a lifetime. For a lifetime, you’ll be mine. Xiuxiu… Xiuxiu. Xiuxiu. Ancestors of the Fei family, I humbly pray for your blessings— grant Wendian a son without fail. Grant Wendian a son without fail.
