We met by chance
and I think that is fate.

Though both meetings
were in bizarre situations.

But somehow,

you feel just like an old friend.

I love the way you're so laid back.

I also admire your freedom.

So, I couldn't help
but say what's on my mind.

Please don't mind me.

I just think that the way
you live is a little unorthodox.

Why don't you get a job?

Get a job?

You make it sound easy,

but where can I get a job?

Liu Qing and Liu Hong have tried.

People either treat them as slaves
or make a joke out of them!

Not only were they mistreated,
they barely survived.

Furthermore, in our compound house,

there are so many
elderly and children...

who have no one to depend on!

If we don't take care of them,

who can they rely on?

No choice.

What was that word you said,
un-what-dox?

Unorthodox.

Unorthodox?

I learned a new word today.

This way of living
probably isn't too ethical, right?

But at least I make money.

Even though we put up acts
to cheat people of their money,

but we never forced
anyone to give us money!

Did you know?

Those who have money to do
good deeds are never poor people.

Compared to those
in our compound house,

they are much more fortunate.

Are there many lost souls,
in your compound house?

That's right.

Everyone is always starving.

We don't even have money
for medical treatments.

How pitiful.

Last month, Grandma Ji...

didn't have money for medicine,

so she passed away.

Forget it.

Why did I bring that up?

You won't get it.

No, I do. I understand.

How could you?

You have parents and a servant too!

You are just a rich girl
who doesn't know...

how it feels to be hungry and poor!

I may not have experience
with hunger and cold,

but...

my mother is dead.

I had no choice but to
leave my hometown,

and travel a thousand miles
to Beijing to find my father.

Not only did I not find him,

I've encountered troubles and bullies.

I'm at a dead end.

I have my difficulties too.

What did you say?

You're not a rich girl
who sneaked out from home...

with her servant for fun?

I don't have a home anymore.

Where can I go back to?

Miss came to Beijing
to search for her family.

When we left Jinan,

we cut off all means of retreat.

We sold the house,

so we could afford
the travel to Beijing.

But who would've known that
the journey would take half a year?

We have almost
used up all of our money.

If we still can't find her father,

we don't know what else we can do!

What?

You took half a year
to get to Beijing?

It's my fault for being weak.

I fell sick twice on the way here,

so it took up some time.

So, you don't have a mother
and can't find your father too.

You're just like me.

I don't even know
how my parents look like.

I grew up on the streets of Beijing.

Beijing is really huge!

It's not that easy to find somebody.

Where does your father stay?
Do you have any clues?

We do have some clues.

But it's been so long since.

It takes time to find him.

I'm afraid it cannot be
done in a short time.

If you ever need my help,

I'll do my best!

If it's investigating,
I do have tricks up my sleeves.

But I warn you, they are "unorthodox".

I live at house number 12,
Dog Tail Alley, Willow Hill.

It's a compound house.

If you need me, just come find me.

The both of you know my name, right?

It's Xiao Yanzi!

What about you?

My last name is Xia,
and my first name is Ziwei.

Ziwei, like the crepe-myrtle flower.

What a beautiful name.

Your name is as beautiful as you.

Same to you too.

Baby Bean, Biggie, Scruffy,

Foxy, Birdie, come here!

Recite the "Three Character Classic".

We were just having fun,
why should we recite it?

Be quiet!

Line up in a row.

If you don't recite them today,
then you can't have dinner!

Okay. Starting now, recite it to me.

Men at their birth are naturally good.
