tired close up your life who a [Music] the only time ] difference [ can't pay oh God [ but ] since I need so far ] what does he know about life we're the adults here and as the adults we need to put children on the path to future success as early as possible and even when he's back home with me I promise you I won't stop him from calling you or meeting up with you after all you're the one who raised him yeah you've said enough we respect her zucho's opinion you can choose what career he wants in the future you're so narrow-minded oh sorry uh I didn't mean to belittle you like that but you're merely running a noodle shop you can't see beyond these walls do you know that parents will do anything to provide for their children they'll sell their belongings and strip their savings for them they're doing everything for the good of their child you would want that at least it's okay you've made your point I'll discuss it with zucho later you can go now why is it so difficult to make you see reason huh if you hold on to that child he will have no future with you you're doing this because you want him to take care of you when you're old and you want him back because you want him to carry your bloodline right because he's my son and it's only natural I want him back the only difference between the two of us is that he stands to inherit a fortune if he just comes home with me he will inherit a lot and you deny him of that I want the best for my son where were you when he was growing up huh just get out of my face okay don't worry I understand what you're telling me is one million isn't enough right even with a god of Fortune your little noodle shop can never dream of earning a million go ahead tell me how much money you want I don't want your money huh I work hard for every single penny that I make taking your money would be a disgrace so go go go go away hey go away hey and don't come back hey hey what are you doing do you know what you just did doing this that's none of us any good wow you're so stupid hey who are you and why did Hai Chow kick you out well I'm I am hersa Cho's real father 's real father right his biological father oh really now what's your

walked up to your place well sorry but I don't want others to know where I live it's not safe I mean you already know it's because of what I do you're concerned about that yeah understandable of

inspection agency we received the warning so now they reported us again and they issued us a closure order closure do they want our family to die [Music] no one's going to die just calm down it's not a big deal it's a temporary closure a week we can be witness a chance to clean up the range hood in the kitchen and that other thing the exhaust fan it's about time we replace them huh aside from that oh this is nothing for any of you to worry about what you should be worrying about is getting ahead on school work use your time and energy on your studies you hear me foreign [Music] we should

what's so amazing about that on your 18th birthday does it go bam and you level up and you become an adult you become strong enough to deal with life be realistic much [Music] want one I am eat it got your saliva on it what are you ignoring us I could be an adult an instant so Dad won't have to worry yeah [Music] I heard that people grow up in a moment what are you saying what do you mean what I mean is on your 18th birthday you're legally an adult but you don't feel grown up but you'll feel it one day the moment comes which meant but no when that moment has arrived well no it has because you'll feel how heavy life is a weight that you've never felt as a kid so when will that happen I need an estimate right now tomorrow day after or in 10 years or never you're really full of nonsense tonight aren't you oh that was cold I feel it feel it don't you dare hey foreign hey why haven't you ordered you thirsty son it's my treat we were closed down to pay those men why are you asking me

you really think that I would hurt you my dad gets up at three in the morning he makes noodles his stews to meet he fries peanuts he works till seven and then goes home to make the family breakfast as I grew up he was consistent he was never too busy to cook us a meal that noodle shop is how we got by so please leave us alone so you do know that for Lehi Chow things aren't easy that's why you should be more considerate you don't work you have no idea how hard it is to make money and you're going to college you and your sister will both be going to college your tuitions that's going to be a large sum you understand an ordinary family will have a hard time paying for just one child Lee Hai Chao has two you want him to die huh I'll work part-time in college so you're telling me that you still don't want to live with me [Music] I don't [Music] okay I guess we'll see Joe you are my one and only son whatever your decision is now I'm not going to give up I'll give you time son think about it what are you going to do [Music] foreign [Music] [Laughter] I thought you were renovating it turns out it's closed hey you're already drinking huh hey you're home early today come on I changed my schedule I wanted to see if you needed help [Laughter] you don't look like you're bothered at all uh I haven't had this much free time it's like a holiday yes but the shop well let me tell you oh I've had this idea for quite a long time now I think I've actually told you the place is too small the decor is old it's cramped and outdated so I was thinking about the shop next to mine you know that right that's it I want to expand there the reality is prices are going up and the kids are about to takegaokao they'll go to college I'm sure the expenses are going to keep piling up we need to find a way to keep up with all of that it works that store next door it's quite big great don't just clean up we will make an expansion and then reopen right let's make it larger uh-huh then shall walk one can stop telling us who are you your tiny noodle shop makes pennies you talking to the kids about this stuff it's distracting them from studying okay hey you probably need money I have some savings so I'll give you that huh no you won't we have a lot of expenses to cover we'll need money for emergencies and as for the expansion well I've already asked the bank about a loan they said I can mortgage my parents house that should take care of it hmm yeah that's a good idea all right so to Joe's trition can be taken from my account I'll take care of that what you can you do that it's not like the police makes a ton of cash at least not as much as a business owner like me right well don't worry oh good shut up all right I'll pay for it to chose tuition huh all right then I'll pay
