She looks like a brat.
:19:05
She's usually very obedient.
:19:08
She's just shy today.
:19:11
I didn't know it, but that day
my mother made a promise:

:19:16
- that when I became 1 5, I would
go live in this woman's house...
- She looks so skinny.

:19:21
Don't go by her looks.
:19:24
Look at that lucky face.
:19:28
She'll give you many grandsons.
:19:30
and fulfill the old matchmaker's
guarantee to have many sons...

:19:36
- with a husband
I had never met before.
- Come here! Come here!

:19:40
Have Huang Tai Tai
take a closer look at you.

:19:51
Stop stuffing yourself!.
:19:54
No girl should eat so fast.
:20:02
For the next ten years...
:20:05
my mother treated me as if
I already belonged to Huang Tai Tai.

:20:16
Look at those dirty spots!
:20:22
Who would want such a dirty
daughter-in-law?

:20:26
Always be careful.
:20:28
Otherwise when you go
to Huang Tai Tai's...

:20:31
she will disapprove of you.
:20:34
My mother did not say these things
because she didn't love me.

:20:39
She said these things...
:20:42
so she would not wish
for something...

:20:45
that was no longer hers.
