Lady Sour (Vinegar Wife / 醋娘子 / Chuk Leung Ji)

Master Chin is in a very serious condition. He's not able to talk or move his limbs.

You mean he's paralysed?

Doctor, please save my husband! Money is not a problem!

Give him a massage whenever possible. It might help.

I'm afraid his condition can't be cured completely. You can get a second opinion.

Chong, why is this happening to you?

Grandma.

Grandma, don't worry.

Let's find another doctor. I'm sure Dad will be fine.

Fu Sum-yan! I wish I'd gone with Dad and hit him hard!

It's not Fu Sum-yan's fault. What's the point of hitting him?

What happened actually?

I wasn't going to say it, but Sheung-sheung has gone too far!

Aunt Sheung?

She said she's married into the Fu family.

Since Sum Cho was her dowry, it should belong to the Fu family.

Aunt Sheung really said that?

The night Pei Pa came back,

she was so sad she couldn't stop crying even throughout the next day.

She said Miss Sheung had severe mood swings. She wasn't herself anymore.

Calm down, Master.

Sheung-sheung said she wouldn't come back. You'll never see her again.

Why did Heaven punish me by giving me such an ungrateful daughter?

Grandma, let me help you for some rest.

Right, Grandma.

Dad, get some rest.

You disgusting fat man, you deserve this! You know what you did! You're disgusting...

I'm working.

I want to hold your hand.

What if they see us?

They went shopping and won't be back anytime soon, so don't worry.

What if the neighbours see us?

I don't understand. Why can’t I tell them I have got my vision back?

You're so stupid.

If you tell them your eyes are fine, I won't have any excuse to stay with you.

You're right. Keep it secret so that we can spend more time together.

You're so smart! You're so stupid!

You're just too smart! You're stupid!

Is someone back?

Yes. Hello, Mom.

Thank goodness you're back. I'm afraid of the dark.

I saw Big Brother looking at Young Lady Boss.

Did you see that, Old Lady Boss?

Who's old? Don't call me old! Why can't you call me pretty boss?

Just because you're blind doesn't mean you can hold my daughter's hands!

Don't take advantage of her!

What if Big Brother recovers?

The answer is still no!

Stop asking questions! Put the things away!

Lady Boss, I haven't recovered yet. Can I keep holding Sour Ching's hand?

You know, those who can’t see get scared easily.

You're just as shameless as Chin Tung! But he's not lucky like you.

Sum Cho is sealed off. His dad is paralysed. He's no longer the arrogant young master.

Even though his dad is paralysed and Sum Cho is sealed off,

my sister should be able to handle it.

But even his aunt has turned against them. They're all out of luck.

We shouldn't meddle in their affairs. Let's focus on our own business.

It's time to check on the vinegar. Let me show you the way.

OK...

Be careful.

I can't see but I can smell the vinegar.

Watch out for the corner. OK...

Walk slowly.

This should be Tsau Ping's job, right?

Madam So.

Mama So said since I'm not serving anyone, I should do something else.

But you used to be Sheung-sheung's maid after all. You deserve something better.

I heard someone in your family is sick so you need money.

I've got some money here, just keep it.

Madam So, I'll spend the rest of my life repaying your kindness!

Get up before someone sees this.

Thank you, Madam So.

Sheung-sheung was acting strange the other day. Whats it about?

Honourable Fu made me feed Miss Sheung five minerals powder.

He said it's OK to take a small dose.

What?

I stopped after the second time. That's probably why he framed me.

Did you tell anyone about this?

No. Everyone's been treating me like a thief. No one wants to talk to me.

Everyone in the Chin family is so snobbish and heartless.

Madam So, why did you say that?

To tell you the truth, Chin Chong cheated me out of my money and forced me to marry him.

What?

Why are you moving your mouth?

It hurts!

Canker sores? Last night I already knew you had canker cores.

That's why I got you something. Pei Pa.

Yes.

You can’t be serious!

You got me to marry you by scamming me. I'm going to make you suffer!

How can she change so fast? What's this burning pain?

It's painful, isn't it?

Do you feel miserable? It's just the start.

Shan Cha's dead turtle, the mouldy bun,

Tung's penalty and loss of the tribute vinegar business.

I was responsible for all those!

There's more?

Like father, like son. Tung made my brother go blind. I must get revenge!

Eat! Hurry up or I'll choke you to death! I wouldn't mind becoming a widow again!

You're cruel like a tiger! Help, Pei Pa!

Stop looking, Pei Pa is on my side.

I've sent Kam Kat to the kitchen.

No! It's painful and burning! Someone's here to help me! Help me out!

Mom.

Eat slowly, there's no rush.

How's Dad?

Just as usual. Don't worry, I'll take care of him.

Dad, I'm looking for a place to build our vinegar workshop.

I'll leave the household matters to Mom.

It's burning!

How come Dad's eyes are wet?

Perhaps he's deeply touched by your words.

Dad, don't worry. I understand. Mom and I will take care of the family.

I'll find you the best doctor in the capital. I won't let you down.

I said it's burning! Can you hear me, Son?

Looks like your dad is very touched. I don't know what to say.

I feel the same way. Dad is so touched.

You can’t hear me!

What's wrong with you?

I just wanted to know if you were telling the truth. Did you and Brother Ching-yi...

I was just kidding.

Really? You were just kidding?

I don't believe you.

Sun Ching-yi and I had grudges against each other. I was kind enough to hire him.

I still don't believe you.

You're the only one in Yau Tak Town who cares about Sun Ching-yi!

What's so good about him?

Ever since you hired Brother Ching-yi, he's been seeing me less often.

Why don't you fire him Then I can see him more often?

I can support him.

Your husband was a head constable back then. Why were you tempted to steal?

You can’t blame him for divorcing you after you were caught.

Actually I didn't steal anything. He misunderstood me and divorced me,

but he found out I was innocent afterwards.

He knew you were innocent but he didn't clear your name?

He had too much pride.

But he's so good to me in private.

He keeps yelling at you. You think that's good?

That's because he treats me like family.

You're hopeless.

Madam Cho, please, I just want to see Brother Ching-yi more often.

Since you've been so faithful, I'll see what I can do.

Stir fried vegetables with beef. Enjoy.

Brother Ching-yi, please add some water for me.

Brother Ching-yi, I'm ready to order.

Uncle Mute, help me take an order.

It's OK.

Brother Ching-yi!

Yes?

Could you give this jar of vinegar to Mo Tai-long?

Also, I've mended these clothes. Please give them to Uncle and Madam Kwan.

It's such a small jar. Mo Tai-long can come get it himself.

No, he's a food critic after all. This is a first extract vinegar.

It's very precious. That's why I want to let him taste it.

Just put it in the clothes. Then you won't break it.

Good idea. I'm coming with you.

I haven't seen Uncle and Madam Kwan in a while. Let's go.

Where are you going? Can you see them? Don't try to slack off, mop the floor.

How can a blind man mop the floor?

Brother Ching-yi, that bag...

That bread is good, huh?

What's that?

What? What did you see? You're blind.

I heard a sound.

Come back soon.

OK, I'm going!

Wait, since you're going out, give a bag of pearl powder to Madam Chong.

It's on the table in the beauty salon.

Pearl powder, right?

Brilliant!

You're good! You're good! I'm blind.

Your hair is messy.

Thanks.

This is it.

Why are you following me everywhere? Shouldn't you get back to work?

Yes, but...

But what?

Brother Ching-yi, you've been avoiding me. Are you interested in Madam Cho?

What are you talking about? You think I'm that kind of man?

I'm a righteous man! I'll never do that!

I'm staying at Yat Lo Inn for the job, not for that fat woman!

If there's nothing between you two, why did Madam Cho...

I can't believe you're jealous of her! Just go! I still have work to do!

But I saw Madam Cho...

Now you're being ridiculous!

Brother Ching-yi! Brother Ching-yi!

Mom, why are you here?

Perfect! Watch your mom, don't let her come near me!

Brother Ching-yi!

Sun Ching-yi, stop right there!

What's the matter?

My gold bracelet is missing. Did you steal it?

I'm a righteous man. I'll never do anything like that.

If you don't believe me, go ahead and search me.

You sound so confident. I bet we won't find the gold bracelet on you. How dare you!

This way, Big Brother.

If it's not on him, it must be in the bag. Open it!

Search the bag!

Sure!

You lied!
