It's so hot. Sure Win, keep fanning
Don't just stand there
Are you fanning? Do it harder Haven't you eaten yet?
Hey, don't get so close to me You want to hit me with the fan?
If it isn't close enough, how will you feel cool?
OK, OK. Don't get so close Do it at my back
Brother Sing What's the matter?
Madam Tai, give me one catty of bean sprout
Look at the adulterer and the slut
70 cents please
Madam Tai, there isn't one catty here You are cheating
Madam Tai, water is dripping from your bean sprouts. They look so yellow
They must be leftovers from yesterday
They aren't fresh. You cheat also Charge 30 cents only
or I'll tell everyone about it
Pay attention everyone You must not buy from
OK, OK. I'll just charge 30 cents
Look. After your husband pawned you he's already found a mistress
How will he redeem you?
I bet you two didn't get along so well before
Brother Sing, how come?
Both of them like gambling so much They have common interests
Your breath stinks. You are disgusting
What are you doing? Eat the bean sprout
This is not true
You two are a perfect pair
What do you want? Stop it
You mess with my maid?
She's to be bullied by me. Sure Win, go to Fung Yee Restaurant with me
Blow the shark's fin cool for me I want to rinse my mouth with it. Let's go
Chuk, Tin, Shau. Done
How come there are just 2 words?
I don't know how to write the word Shau
I see Lai-ying
Mrs Ho. Old master Ho
Uncle, auntie. How are you?
Why do you call us like that?
I'm now a maid in the Tsang's family I should call you so
We'll talk about what's between you and Yee later. Why do you take our enemy here?
I come with Lai-ying to visit you guys
You are so nice to a maid What are you up to?
Hei Sister-in-law Young madam
Shau How are you?
I'm fine. Look. I can write
I think once you've got over your fear you will be normal again very soon
That bad boy Yee hasn't come home for a long time
He doesn't know his younger sis has become so much smarter
I wonder what he's doing
Yee, you still want to run?
It's good you're home
Do you want to return to Yee Tsui Club?
I'm afraid you guys will scold me So I daren't come home
Don't talk about this yet. Your wife's here. You'd better explain to her
There's a rumor about you and Mary
Honey, there's nothing between Mary and me
I don't want to listen to you again Let me go. It hurts
You are hurting Lai-ying
What does this mean? I'm her husband Who are you?
I don't want to see you again Tak-kin, let's go
Don't just stand here. Give chase Do you want your wife to be stolen?
Stop there, Tsang Tak-kin
You follow my wife around You even went to my home to show off
You must have a bad intention Don't you leave
Is it a sin to fall for somebody wholeheartedly? Am I wrong to do so?
You admit it at last. You take advantage of the situation to steal my wife. You are mean
You've failed to cherish Lai-ying
I liked her right from the beginning But you married her. So I gave up
But you pawned her. So she's no longer a family member of the Ho's
Even if I'm with her in future, it's none of your business
You wish. Lai-ying likes me alone Don't even think about it
You've made Lai-ying suffer so much Why will she like you still?
Whose fault is it for what's happened? Wake up I...
Ho Yee, don't hurt Lai-ying anymore
She's a nice girl. She deserves to be loved by a nice husband
She shouldn't work as a maid
I really want to protect her and love her so that she won't get hurt again
Tak-kin, thank you for being so nice to me
I wanted to tell you this a long time ago
So you are so deeply in love with me
Lai-ying, you are the only one in my heart
Hey, I'm not dead yet
Ho Yee, as you can't give Lai-ying happiness, why don't you let it go?
Let the guy who can give her happiness take care of her
Master Tsang is so right
Gambler Yee doesn't deserve any sympathy He's even pawned his wife
Right, he isn't human
He's really too much
I don't want the show. Let's go home
Master Tsang is great
Lai-ying Go away
Kin, people are really stupid They say Lai-ying and you
It's true. You know I like her
Younger brother, you've got so many choices
Why do you insist on getting the used stuff of Ho Yee? People will laugh at you
Elder brother, I don't care how people look at this. I just want to marry her
What? Marry her? We'll lose face if you marry her. No way
Dad, I've been obedient to you all the time
But if you don't allow me to marry Lai-ying this time, I'll definitely leave this place
I won't take the civil service exam either
You don't care about our reputation You want to marry her? Never
Fine. I'll go to Hong Kong with Lai-ying right now. I will never come home
Hey, younger brother, stop. Are you crazy?
Elder brother, you don't need to talk me out
Of course I'll talk you out Am I to talk to Ho Yee or Sure Win?
But well, your idea to marry Lai-ying sounds great Sing, are you crazy?
Listen to me, dad. Younger brother, you may marry Lai-ying. But she can't be your wife
She must be a concubine only
That's impossible
She's married. It's improper for her to be yourwife. That's decided. Dad
How can this happen?
Let's talk Dad, younger brother insists on this
That means this is very important to him. Let's make a concession
On the one hand, he won't be so mad to leave home and quit the exam
On the other hand, we may drive Ho Yee mad and make him a cuckold
His family will lose face
It's so creative to get a concubine before marrying a wife. We are so outstanding
You bet. We are outstanding The Ho's are ruined
Ohiu-choi, Tsun-po Yes
You two tell everybody that after the loan is foreclosed
To Lai-ying will immediately marry my younger brother as his concubine
Go, go, go
OK. It's done. Younger brother, you should be happy now
Let's eat Let's eat
How can he do such a wicked thing? That Tsang Tak-sing is so mean
Don't wear a long face
I'm really mad. He's stolen my wife
I'll help you. I'll beat Tsang Tak-kin hard I'll break his head and his limbs
Hey, don't do anything silly The Tsang's have a lot of servants
I beat your head. You will never prosper I beat your hands. You will get no money
So that's how you beat him?
I follow Madam Sam's instructions strictly
Hey, you still have so many clothes to iron The girls don't have anything to wear
Now get back to work. Master Yee
I wonder if you can give me a hand to serve the clients. It's a really busy day today
Come on. The guests are waiting
I'll go to the kitchen to see if the shark's fin is ready
Here comes today's main character at last
Why do you leave so soon? I feel happy for you. This party is for you
If you leave, it's a waste for us to order so much food and wine
You save the food and wine for your funeral
Why do you say something so mean? We are in a way relatives. Don't be so mad
Who's your relative?
You don't know that yet?
My younger brother will soon marry your wife as his concubine
You two will be in-laws. Aren't we relatives?
That's impossible
What are you doing? Let it go
That's impossible
What? Don't get so excited yet I've got a gift for you too. Give it to me
Isn't it beautiful? I think you are the only one in Foshan who fits this hat
You look so handsome. Hey, don't go to my place to look for them
They are now having tea at Fung Yee Restaurant Is this funny? Is this funny?
It's so funny, right?
Master Yee, the table over there But don't get so emotional
Lai-ying, you've lost weight Eat the chicken
It's tough for you to study so hard Eat the goose OK
You seduce my wife? I'll kill you
Master Yee, don't get so emotional
Don't hit him Calm down
You may blame me. I want to marry Tak-kin
Honey, you
Ho Yee, do you deserve to be my husband?
Are you human to pawn your own wife? Or are you a beast?
It's OK Just enjoy the food
I know it's my fault. I'm bad
You're right. You are worse than beasts
You lost all your assets. You even asked my dad to steal the antiques for you
You got old master's key to the safe by fraud. You betrayed your younger sis
You lied to me You've done all the bad things
Honey
Tak-kin is much better than you He's innocent and well educated
Most important of all, he has integrity. He lives honestly. You aren't his match at all
No matter how good he may be, I'm the only one who can make you happy
The happiness you gave me was just an illusion. It's the result of your lies only
But the pain I feel stabs my heart time and again
I've given up on you completely. Maybe I shouldn't chose you in the first place
I should have chosen Tak-kin instead of you
Ho Yee, you still have 10 days I hope you can't redeem Lai-ying
Once the loan is foreclosed I may marry Lai-ying then
I was so happy at first. But I've lost all my appetite when I see you now
I want to throw up. Tak-kin, let's go somewhere else to eat
There's only 10 days left Where can I get $10,000?
You still have time But my loan is already 3 days overdue
How much do you owe?
It's almost $200. Just now brother Mo from the casino came to collect the debt
He made a scene. It's lucky that Ohun Sam-leung stopped them
He said he would teach me a lesson if I couldn't repay within 3 days
I think I'll die soon
Let me help you get 200 taels first
How? We've got 12 cents only
Unless I can work magic Wait Shall I resort to my old tricks?
You mean cheating?
For the sake of 10,200 taels, I think I must do the job again
Hey, it's brother Mo's casino
Last time they almost beat me to death It's dangerous
I heard them say brother Mo would go to Guangzhou for a few days. You're lucky
Great. What shall we do later?
When we go in later, we'll walk to the beads counting table casually
When I give you a wink, you place the bet
When the result is being shown I'll unbutton my collar to draw attention
At this moment, you'll do your job
It's so hot here. How come it's so hot? It's really hot. What's the result?
4... 4... 4 It's3
The distraction always works. Excuse me
Place your bets. Have you placed your bets?
Wait 3 OK. Game 444
There's a rat
Friends and neighbors, do you know why their faces are swollen?
It's because they cheated in my casino
So this happened to them. Yung, tie them together. Make them kneel here in the rain
Friends and neighbors, please keep an eye on them for me
If they try to escape please inform me right away
I'll give you a substantial reward
Young madam, it's great that I can call you young madam again
I wasn't used to assigning you jobs before
I don't mind working as a maid But I do mind
You mind Master Yee pawning you
Forget it. I don't want to talk about it
Master Yee?
He deserves it. He cheated You're lucky you didn't get killed
You are so cheap to cheat while gambling
He's so cheap
Ho Yee Honey
How come every time when I see you you are in a worse situation?
Do you really like to make yourself a disgrace? It's wrong to gamble
You even cheated? What bad things won't you do for the sake of gambling?
He just wants the money to redeem you
I don't want this man. You'd better think about it carefully
if you still want to go down with him
Lai-ying Cousin, don't give chase
Chase her. If you do, everyone here will get a reward
Brother Mo will really beat us to death Let's stay alive first
But it seems that Lai-ying has really given up on you
She said so because she's mad She won't give up on me
Yung, tell the people to disperse
Go away. Go, go, go
What do you want? Untie her Yes
What do I want? You cheated. If you can't pay damages, I'll take you then
You must serve me well No Let me go
Don't be afraid. I'll be gentle
Let me go
Don't be afraid. I'll be gentle. Come on
Let me go. Help
I'll be gentle. Come on Damn it How dare you to hit me?
Help. Let me go
Who is it? Don't move
Brother Mo, it's me
Let's talk later. Get out
I want to talk about the woman inside
Wait. What's there to talk about?
I know this woman has offended you But I have a history with her
Brother Mo, as we are brothers, will you please give her a break?
That's true. I'll well acquainted with brother Chiu-choi No, I've got her
You don't give me face? Last time someone was arrested by the police
Who took the risk to beg brother Sing to plead before officer Sheung
to get the release of that guy?
It's true that I haven't returned your favor yet It's good you know that
But how about her debt?
It's both the principal and interest here You may have fun in Yee Tsui Club with this
OK. I'll give you face, Chiu-choi
Brother Chiu-choi, thank you very much
I thought before that you were a dog serving Tsang Tak-sing
I didn't expect you are kind enough to rescue me
I really don't know how to repay you Thank you very much, brother Chiu-choi
I'm not really that nice Actually I'm like M0. I want
What do you want, brother Chiu-choi?
How would I help you unconditionally?
In fact I have had a crush on you for a long time. That's why I rescued you today
I always want to know what's so special about you so that brother Sing falls for you
There's nothing special about me
OK. Let's cut the crap. This is my villa It's situated at no.2 of Green Dragon Lane
You wait for me there tonight to drink with me. Then we shall
All men are alike Fine. I'll be there tonight
Remember to go there early tonight
Brother Sing, did I act well?
You looked so mean
I just mimicked you
How would I look so mean like you did?
You haven't come for quite a while
I'm busy I miss you so much
Take a seat inside OK, OK
You're bad. I won't spare you tonight
Right
Mui, Lan, Kuk, Chuk are well dressed
I'm so pathetic to serve that bad guy Chiu-choi
You are bad. You don't come to see us for such a long time
Cousin Cousin, I've found you at last
Just now I went to the court and tell inspector Wong
that brother Mo wanted to assault you sexually
But he said it's a personal conflict He wouldn't take the case
What's happened to your face? Are you OK?
Cousin, do you really care about me so much?
Of course. Did brother Mo do anything to you?
I repaid him. Maybe he thought I'm a girl He didn't bully me
Thank God you are fine. Otherwise I'll feel uneasy for the rest of my life
Cousin, you get one more wonton You must be scared today
I was really scared just now until I saw you. Then I felt safe
It's my fault. You cheated because of me You do have brotherhood, cousin
You took such a great risk for me You are a real friend
I wanted a wealthy lifestyle before I pretended to be a fair lady
But now I understand it's more than enough to have someone who cares about me
so much to hold my hand and walk through life with me
Cousin, why don't we leave Foshan together?
We may go to Hong Kong or anywhere Let's start all over again
Cousin, is it because we've been together lately that you've got it wrong?
I've got Lai-ying in my heart only
You and I just help each other out in our plight. It isn't romance
Hey, I just want to test you. lthought there is no good guy on earth
But you are so faithful to your wife
It's worth my taking so much trouble to help you two to get a reunion
You still want to trick me at this moment?
I was really scared. But I am really grateful for your help
If you want to thank me, you shouldn't just give me a piece of wonton
You should at least give me a bowl
OK. Boss. Give me a bowl of wonton Boss Boss Boss Yes
Give me a bowl of wonton OK. Got it
Give me more wontons No problem
So the nice guy isn't for me
Mary, how are you going to make me feel happy tonight?
I was worrying about the wine. Come on Let's drink. This is yours. Cheers
Cheers It's harmful to drink so much
Men want nothing but this. Come on Don't waste the time. Let's go to bed
No way
Don't waste the time. What's the matter? Hey, where are you going?
Don't waste the time. Come over here
Where are you going? Don't waste the time Come here. What's the matter? Why?
Why is it so difficult for me to get a man who's nice to me?
Am I really so bad that no one likes me?
No, of course not. Hey No
Chiu-choi, from now on, you'll pretend that Mary is your mistress
Go more often to her villa Give her money from time to time
Don't worry, brother Sing
I worship Guan Gong ever since childhood I'll take good care of your woman
What did you say? Who's my woman? Don't talk nonsense
That's true. If you don't like her you won't do so many things for her
Even if you don't want to marry her you may cohabit with her in secret
Then no one will learn about it
No one will laugh at you You don't need me as a camouflage
I don't need you to teach me. I know how to handle this. You've talked too much
Whatever you say, brother Sing But my wife mustn't learn about this
If she believes I've got a mistress she will kill me
This guy is worth so much? It's 10,000 taels
This guy is worth 10,000 taels
Wow, it's 10,000 taels
The governor has put up a reward of 10,000 taels for this lone thief Leung Kiu
If you know his whereabouts you must inform the court right away
If I can catch him, I'll be rich
You bet, you'll get 10,000 taels
If I catch this thief Leung Kiu, I'll get 10,000 taels to redeem Lai-ying
He breaks the law in both Guangdong and Guangxi. He kills without a blink
He uses a sabre. Forget the reward
The two famous detectives Lung Wai and Mang Fu of the police department
are after him How good are they?
Lung Wai is good at Dragon Fist Mang Fu uses a Tiger Head sabre
They are the no.1 hunters in the police department
Now they've taken up the case personally I bet Leung Kiu can't escape
How will I be so lucky to find him, not to mention I don't have the competence?
Is there really no way to redeem Lai-ying?
3 days later the loan will be foreclosed I'll lose Lai-ying forever
Boss Pak, please lend me the money I really won't gamble with it again
Master Yee, I swore I wouldn't lend you money again
Besides, I've put in a lot of cash in the shipping business along the river
I really don't get the money
I understand it. In fact you've been very nice to me already, Boss Pak. Come on
Boss
We are done with the accounts We may close now
OK. You may drink here. If you are tired there's a room behind the counter
You may get some rest. OK. We'll close now
We're off
I'm really a loser
Big brother
Mang Fu, is your information reliable?
I've sacrificed 3 snitches to get this information. It won't be wrong
Leung Kiu will come to Foshan for sure
He will definitely come to this Fung Yee Restaurant
If we join hands together, Leung Kiu can't escape for sure
You asked me to come out from Yee Tsui Club just to tell me that
you want to catch this lone thief Leung Kiu in my Fung Yee Restaurant?
According to Mang Fu, Leung Kiu wants to get the precious jade "Streaky Pork"
A wealthy merchant in Foshan bought this piece of jade
So he'll come to Foshan for sure
Foshan is a big place. Why will he come to my Fung Yee Restaurant for sure?
Lung Wai sacrificed 3 snitches to find out
that Leung Kiu loves to eat streaky pork with preserved vegetables the most
He even eats it every meal. Think about it Where can you find the most famous
and most yummy streaky pork with preserved vegetables in Foshan?
It's in my Fung Yee Restaurant
That's right. Maybe God knows I'm sincere So he's giving me this chance
Hey, that lone thief is a kung fu expert
He kills easily. Even the police have failed to catch him
How can the two of us do it?
Boss Pak, you are my best friend I won't ask you to take any risk
We can't take him by force We'll use our wit. I have a plan
We know Leung Kiu will order streaky pork with preserved vegetables for sure
We'll put sedatives in the pork
Let him drink for a while We'll take action when he's off guard
OK. We'll take action when you drop the cup
Welcome, sir. This way please. This way What would you like to order, sir?
Make me a pot of Puer tea Yes, sir
Give me a chicken bun A chicken bun
A bowl of steamed rice Steamed rice
And streaky pork in preserved vegetables
Done
Hey Yes
2 sets of chopsticks
2 sets of chopsticks Thank you
2 sets of chopsticks
Sure. No problem. Sir, here you go
One more set? Does he get an accomplice?
I don't know. We need to improvise
Enjoy the tea
Sir, streaky pork with preserved vegetables and steamed rice
The chicken bun will be served soon
Chicken bun
Waiter, the tea isn't hot enough
Really? I'll make it again for you
Chase him
It's about noon
Brother Leung Kiu
You aren't my brother. Why did you warn me just now? What's the catch?
Actually I'm your brother's brother I'm Ho Yee What brother?
It's one of your brothers when you worked in the north. He drinks and eats a lot
Everyone in my trade does so What's his name and title?
Scar Keung I don't know him
Dagger Kit Never heard of the name
Sky and earth, Plum, Long 3, Chair, Axe Red head 10, Long 7, No. 6, Mahjong
What's that nonsense? I don't know you Go to hell
No How come the sedative isn't working yet?
Great. It works. Big brother Leung, I know it's mean to use sedative
But I've got no choice. I'm a gambler
I've lost all my assets. I've even pawned my wife. Repayment is due tonight
If I don't get 10,000 taels to redeem my wife she'll marry someone else
I can't live without her So I must risk my life to catch you
What's going on? Aren't you sedated?
I practice kung fu by taking arsenic Sedative is just like pepper powder to me
Ho Yee, I just wanted to find out why you helped me. So it's just for the bounty
I'll kill you now so that you won't gamble anymore
I can't believe I've failed to redeem my wife despite my effort
Lai-ying, I'll see you in my next life
See you in the next life? My wife told me so when she died
So your wife is already? That's why you asked for 2 sets of chopsticks in
Fung Yee Restaurant in memory of your wife?
My wife loved streaky pork with preserved vegetables
She liked a precious jade that looks exactly like streaky pork
No wonder when Lung Wai and Mang Fu knew a wealthy merchant
had bought the jade, they could figure out you would come to Foshan
I do want to get the jade to offer it to my deceased wife
Brother Leung, you've taken a great risk to fulfill the wish of your wife
You want to get the jade at the cost of your life. You do love your wife deeply
Ho Yee, you are willing to give up your life so as to redeem your wife
We are two of a kind As you are willing to die for your wife, I'll help you
I won't mutilate your dead body
Brother Leung, what's the matter?
My heart aches The medicine
With the 10,000 taels bounty, I can redeem Lai-ying. We can start all over again
What shall I do now? The medicine
lf Lai-ying were here, she wouldn't
let him die The medicine
Thank you, brother Ho
Brother Leung, is this a trick again?
I eat too much streaky pork with preserved vegetables
Therefore I've got a heart disease You may tie me up Brother Leung
You take me in to get the bounty Then you may get a reunion with your wife
Brother Leung. Thank you for helping me
As the note in the chicken bun says he's really in City West at noon
Sir, I've already caught the lone thief Leung Kiu
Can I go to the court to get the bounty now?
Leung Kiu is a kung fu expert How can you catch him so easily?
Let me tell you this Leung Kiu is caught by the police
Go Go
Walk Walk I say walk
300 taels?
Master Yee, you are back? How come there's only you? Where's the thief?
At first I succeeded But the police took him from me
How can we redeem your wife then? The deadline is due midnight
Don't worry. I've got this. Just now I almost got killed. But I survived
Although 300 taels is far from 10,000 taels I think I'll get good luck as I've survived
Cousin Have you figured out a way already? Cousin
Place your bets
Bluffing Sing, show yourself Excuse me
Who's yelling here? So it's Gambler Yee You want to beg for money here?
Cousin
You want to pawn your cousin to me? Don't even think about it
She's slept with a leper before
Even Yee Tsui Club wouldn't take her in I won't take her even if she's for free
What? You got me into this, bad guy
He's so mean. He'll get punished I'll redeem my wife first
Get out of the way
Redeem your wife?
Are you so lucky to have raised 10,000 taels in the last minute?
Have you lost your mind gambling too much?
You need 10,000 taels to redeem your wife
Here's 300 only taels. Do you want to redeem her hand or her foot?
Do you want to redeem her piece by piece?
Although I get 300 taels only now, I'll turn it
into 10,000 taels later. I'll place it on big
Master Yee, are you sure?
That's right, cousin. To play safe you'd better play a little bit each time
That's not necessary. This is my lucky money. So I will win for sure
Great. There are just 2 hours to midnight
I do want to see how you can turn 300 taels into 10,000 taels. Take his bet
Place your bets Show it
Double 4 and 6. 14 points. Big
It's really big
Cousin, you've won. Your luck has changed
Carry on. 600 taels on big
Take his bet Your luck has changed? You will lose if you keep gambling
Hands off Show me
6,1,5. 12 points. Big
You win again You win
Big again Again? Big?
Show me 4,5,6. 15 points. Big
Now what? Big again
Double 6 and 5. 17 points. Big
Master Yee, we've got 9,600 taels altogether
It takes 400 taels more to redeem Lai-ying
Just one more game This time I will win for sure
The pawn receipt is here. I'll redeem Lai-ying after I've won this game. Big
It's really big every time
Brother Sing, it seems that Master Yee's luck has come back
Are you acquainted with him? What Master Yee? He's Gambler Yee
Let me interrupt him. Change the dealer I'll play this game
Wait. Let me play with him
Lai-ying, why do you come here?
Everyone in Foshan knows you want to win 10,000 taels to redeem me, right?
You still think gambling can solve all the problems? Fine. Let me play with you
You are still 400 taels short, right? I'll bet with you once and for all
Let's play one game If you win, I'll leave with you
If you lose, please get out of here immediately
Lai-ying, what are you doing? I can go home with you after I've won this game
You don't need to worry about me
Tak-kin, give me 400 taels
Do you want cousin to win or lose?
Hey sis, Master Yee almost got killed for you
I'll lend to Lai-ying as much as she wants
Younger brother, you trust this woman so much? Will they have teamed up?
Elder brother, I want very much to see if Lai-ying is really true to me
If she's true to me, she won't lose for sure
What if Ho Yee wins?
Ho Yee won't win. A gambler never wins
Right. Let them play one game to decide who's the winner
I hate people gambling
But tonight I want to gamble for my fate Let's see who's bigger
For our good days
She's got 2 points only. You stand a chance
1 point. We win
She wins with just 2 points
Sure Win, Sure Win. She always wins
Gambler Yee, even Sure Win wants to marry my younger brother. Now get out of the way
As I told you, a gambler always loses
I lose. I'm beaten by Lai-ying
Ho Yee, you see that? This time you've lost your wife. Time's up. The loan is foreclosed
You've lost your wife forever. You won't get a chance to redeem her anymore
Ho Yee, from now on, we are strangers
