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

It's OK, being single is more free.

Sweetie, you and I are destined to depend on each other.

Just remember, don't do what I did. Don't wait for Tung to come back to you.

You already got the divorce letter. You're not related to him anymore.

People will laugh at you if you wait for him.

Anyway, I've decided to break away from the Chin family.

I'm not going to wait for anyone.

Well said! Besides my sister, no one in the Chin family is good.

You'll be better off without them.

OK, to celebrate the end of my sufferings, let's get drunk tonight.

Wait!

An extra cup! Come on!

I'm here too! Cheers!

By the way, did they compensate you?

What?

By the way, since they promised to pay the bride price by installments,

I think you should get it back.

What? I've told you I want to break away from the Chin family.

Also, I didn't take anything Chin Tung gave me.

I made it clear to him I didn’t marry him for their money.

The Chin family owes us. It'll be our loss if we don't get it back.

Mom, your daughter got divorced. I don't want to make myself a laughing stock.

Even without their money, your daughter will still be able to live well.

That's the spirit! But I still can't get over it.

It's not worth talking about. Let's keep drinking, shall we?

Come on, cheers!

Are you thinking about her? People in our family are too soft-hearted.

Don't forget how she got us fooled with all her trickery.

She probably asked the fortune teller to lie about her birth chart

just to get you to marry her.

I thought Ching-ching was a decent girl. That's why I wanted to marry her.

In fact, I never really understood her. We used to be a happy family.

Ever since she came into our family, we never stopped arguing.

Did I really make a mistake marrying her?

It's not your fault.

After she married into our family, she still wasn't satisfied.

She kept causing chaos and troubling Shan Cha.

You did the right thing divorcing that woman.

But Ching-ching kept her integrity. She didn't ask for anything.

She didn't, but her mom will...

Tell your master to come out!

See, I told you so. Let's go watch the show, come on.

Master.

In-law...

Don't call me that! We're not related anymore.

You should call my brother Master Chin.

Madam Cho, let's sit down and talk.

You know, all couples fight. It's OK as long as they can make up.

Do you know how she deceived us? How can they possibly make up?

They're just kids. As their parents, we should make peace between them.

The doctor was entirely responsible. He gave a wrong diagnosis.

Ching-ching was a victim too. She really wanted a baby.

When she found out about the truth, she was heart-broken.

And in the end you even divorced her and poured salt on her wound.

Why don't you take the divorce letter back and forget the whole thing ever happened?

Of course not! Your daughter purposely lied to us!

Her heart was broken, but all our vital organs were hurt.

Your daughter pretended to have a miscarriage to frame Shan Cha!

We could've got her arrested for all that she's done!

You chose to marry Ching-ching, but then you divorced her. You're so ungrateful!

She treated Shan Cha badly. I didn't want Shan Cha to suffer.

Don't even talk about Shan Cha!

Do you know how much Ching-ching suffered because of Shan Cha? You are so ungrateful!

Enough! Stop poking him! You can'! afford to get him killed!

Listen! Take this divorce letter back! See the guest off!

Yes... Wait!

What?

So there's no deal?

No!

My daughter married into the Chin family.

You divorced her after all, but she was once very precious to you.

If we become beggars one day, we'll definitely come to your door!

People will see how heartless you guys are!

If we have nothing to eat, I'll sell her to a cathouse!

Please stop, Madam Cho.

Many people would love to kiss Master Chin's ex-daughter-in-law,

and sleep with Master Tung's ex-wife.

You're so shameless! I can't believe you said that!

When I'm left with no choice, I can be more shameless than that!

I told you so. Such a lower-class in-law can't be a good match for our family.

My daughter returned home three days after the wedding.

Everyone ate roasted pig. Everyone knew she was a virgin.

But you took her virginity and dumped her!

Dad, shes right. Please give her whatever she wants.

OK, just get to the point. What do you want?

Three words, Yat Lo Inn.

What? You want Yat Lo Inn?

Fine, it's yours. You want a place for your beauty business?

I'll give up Yat Lo Inn to send you off! We don't owe each other anything!

Brother... It's OK!

I know what I'm doing! Bring me the land contract!

Yes, Master.

Good, that's fast.

Land contract? Did you go to Chin's Residence?

How come it was changed to our names?

So we'll be calling you boss in the future?

Not in the future, but now.

Boss!

Boss!

Mom, I said I wouldn't take anything from the Chin family,

but then you got Yat Lo Inn from them!

They will accuse me of lying and pretending to have integrity!

I'm not stupid like you. You wouldn't take anything.

It's not easy to be a divorcee.

If I didn't take Yat Lo Inn, they could ask us to leave anytime.

Then we would be making money on the street.

Sweetie, I want to prepare for your future.

What should I do when I see them?

Why worry? You're not going to see them.

Boss, they're just across the street. It's easy to see them.

Well, just simply walk away.

Master Chin.

Brother.

Master.

What a coincidence.

Not really, I came here for you. I knew you were ma king a portrait of my sister.

It's beautiful, isn't it?

Is that you?

That's right. Master Chin, do you like the jade toad?

I also have a jade turtle. I'll show you another time.

This is a jade toad? It looks like an ugly toad like you.

Since you gave me this... Keep it away!

Since you gave me this thing, I've been having bad luck!

The baby is gone! Sum Cho has lost a few major clients. It's all your fault!

Master Chin, I didn't mean it that way!

Right! Cho Ching lied to us!

Even if it's not his fault, I won't let you marry my sister!

You're not from a wealthy family! You don't have an official rank!

What have you got? Are you good enough for our family?

Also, Sum Cho will be my sister's dowry. Do you deserve that?

Master Chin, excuse me.

Take that thing with you!

Mr Sheung Kwun!

Just let him go.

Like you said, a lower-class in-law can’t be a good match for our family.

Those poor people are just after our money. Sheung Kwun Man is one of them.

He's not! He's an educated man!

All my efforts have gone to waste! You just don't care about me!

I don't? I was just testing him, but he walked away immediately!

Mom won't accept him anyway.

Sheung-sheung,

just put your focus on Sum Cho, OK?

Take one. Come visit us next time. We're having promotions.

What's this?

Madam Fu? Come visit us sometime.

We have a restaurant, a beauty salon, and a bath house.

You get a 20% discount for using all three services.

You're the greediest woman in Yau Tak Town.

Madam Fu, an educated woman like you sees things differently, right?

You love money, so you know how to get money. You're the one!

Excuse me, Madam Fu?

I want you to go to the gamble house with me...

What is wrong with you?

Sorry, I tripped over. Don't worry, this isn't joss paper.

Knock on wood!

Sorry about that, Madam Fu.

This is Chun Chu. As his name implies, he's stupid like a pig. Please forgive him.

He might have scratched my face!

Madam Fu, would you like a beauty treatment and a relaxing bath?

We just remodeled this place.

You can take a bath in our VIP room with real privacy.

Is it free though?

It's free this time, but please come back again.

All right, I'll try it.

Great! Uncle Mute! We have a customer! Stay away from me!

Look, there are flowers in the water, and two beautiful women dancing for you.

It's nice, isn't it?

It's quite nice and comfortable.

Does it really work?

Of course. Not only does it smell good, it's relaxing and rejuvenating.

Madam Fu, if you like it, you can come every day.

Every day? It's going to cost a fortune!

Well, if you recommend us to your upper-class friends,

I'll give you a special discount.

You're talking to a respectable woman. All you can offer is a special discount?

If you really bring a friend, you'll get one free bath,

plus three free beauty treatments.

I'll try it first.

What's taking so long?

It's almost done. I'll tell you what.

This beauty lotion is specially made for you.

If you want to look beautiful, you can’t be lazy. OK, it's done.

Wow! That looks so nasty!

Nasty? This miracle beauty facial lotion

is made with Ryukyuan white vinegar, Chinese knotweed, and my secret formula.

It will make your skin as white as snow.

Ryukyu white vinegar? It's used for beauty?

Madam Fu, you've never seen the Ryukyuan people before?

No.

The Ryukyuan people have white, silky skin regardless of age and gender,

because they use Ryukyuan white vinegar and Chinese knotweed.

Really?

Of course. You'll see results after a few treatments.

My skin will look beautiful and silky?

You will be beautiful like an angel with the silkiest skin ever.

What are we waiting for?

OK.

It feels tingly.

It's normal to have a tingling sensation.

As they say, hard work brings wealth, tingliness brings beauty.
