Get out of the way, please.
If I don't intercept the letter in time,
someone might die!
Your application for Letters of Administration
has been received...
Foon, you have a letter.
Your application for Letters of Administration (with no will annexed) is received...
What's so interesting?
You forgot to close the gate.
I knew you were on your way.
Sol left it open for you.
Yan read the letter.
Why didn't she freak out?
That's called a sleight of hand.
I can blindside whomever I want.
You helped me,
because you knew all along the will is a fake?
I told you I've been living here all along.
Nothing escapes me.
Two Months Ago
Dad, is this a prank or what?
Since you passed away,
I dream of you waiting for us to go home for dinner every night.
I know, you want us to reconcile and be united.
You don't know how hard that is.
They wouldn't pick up my calls.
I've run out of ideas.
This is the last resort.
If it doesn't work out,
I have no other option but to give up.
Bless me.
Dad gave us the names, Foon, Yan, Yue, Yee.
They all mean happy.
Dad wanted us to be happy all the time.
It turned out to be just wishful thinking.
We turn on one another every time we meet.
It's my fault.
I shouldn't have come up with this stupid idea.
I thought a fake will could put us under one roof,
and we'd bond in time.
But I've put myself in a quagmire.
How can I resolve this?
You have a heart after all.
You do care about kinship.
I didn't spend my aura in vain.
Thank you, big movie star.
Please keep this secret for me.
Sure. I believe in returning favors.
No problem. Grilled squid on me. Satisfied?
I'm tired of grilled squid now.
I have a new favorite.
What is it?
Cantonese sponge cake.
Cantonese sponge cake?
Yes, freshly steamed. It smells amazing.
That's not returning a favor.
That's give an inch, go for a mile.
Glutton!
What? This is the bathroom!
So?
Auntie Lan, you're here too?
So you saw everything?
A bit.
Peeper!
Morning. Morning.
Can we go now?
Where? Morning has not broken.
Morning tea. Right...
Not this early!
Auntie Lan, you look great.
The jade pendant is vivid green.
The mere mention of morning tea reinvigorated me.
You're refreshed, but I'm still drowsy.
It has been some time since our last outing
I can't wait.
Then go without me.
I'll join you later and pick up the check.
We can't go out on our own.
We can only move freely within this building.
We need a chaperone if we want to venture out.
So I'm your tour guide.
The weather is so nice today.
Perfect for morning tea. Right...
It's still dark.
How do you the weather is nice?
A good mood makes everything rosy.
Right...
I get it now!
That's the reason why only Fei-fei and I can see you.
It's the umbrella!
I wonder if it still works.
It took you so long to figure that out?
How slow of you.
Slow?
I asked you why.
You said I was down on my luck.
I believed you and I didn't dare go anywhere
You took me for a ride.
Believe a ghost to your own woe.
Indeed! I won't believe you ever again.
Rose, Rose, I love you...
English song?
Chap, tea for one?
For three.
What?
You look odd.
You can close the umbrella inside.
Why didn't you say so earlier?
What tea would you like?
What tea?
I'm asking you. Why are you asking me?
So?
What tea?
Iron Buddha.
Pu'er with chrysanthemum.
Iron Buddha, pu'er with chrysanthemum.
Which one?
Both. Are you new here?
Yes. Crazy!
Thank you.
What would you like to order?
Cantonese sponge cake.
Shrimp dumpling, siu-Mai dumplings.
I'm so happy.
Awesome! I'm so full.
So smelling is eating.
Live and learn.
Try something new.
Try this one.
Shrimp dumplings...
Auntie Lan, try this...
Are you Uncle Luk's son?
You knew my dad? Do we look alike?
Not at all. You're much chubbier.
Your dad used to come here early for morning tea too.
He ordered tea for three and a full table of dim sum too.
He also moved the plates around but didn't touch the food.
I thought he was waiting for his children to join him.
They never showed up.
He hasn't come for a while.
How is he doing?
Fine... he's fine.
Join him for morning tea more often.
He's so lonely.
He was taking you two out for morning tea.
He had no one else to keep him company.
He had four children. Yet none of us could come for tea with him.
All he had were two ghosts as companions.
What a joke.
Feeling remorseful?
He's not unique.
Come to think of it,
pick a rainy day next time.
A man using an umbrella in broad daylight
looks like a weakling.
Don't worry, they don't have time to look at your umbrella.
They're too busy looking at your tummy.
Humpty Dumpty has a big tummy...
Stop teasing!
Why did I have to eat a dozen plates of dim sum?
It's all because of you guys!
And you have the heart to laugh at me!
I have no time for you.
Take your umbrella back.
What are you doing here?
So Dad's will is a fake.
A fake? Says who?
It says you're applying for Letters of Administration,
not a grant of probate
That means you don't have a will with you.
This will is a fake.
You used it to con us.
What you said is so complicated.
I didn't know the procedures,
so I made a mistake.
Save it. This is the evidence.
You can't deny it.
It was a clever trick.
Your guilty conscience betrayed you.
Or I wouldn't have suspected you.
Out...
Get out of the way, please.
If I don't intercept the letter in time,
someone may die!
You tried so hard to intercept the letter from the Probate Registry.
Something wasn't right.
So I came in to take a look when you were out.
I also found the will, which you said was not with you.
Try to explain that.
Yan once said you used to sign her handbook whenever Dad came home late.
Dad could never write buy or sell correctly.
This mistake doesn't come up in the will.
The three of us were fools.
We let you take us for a ride.
I can swear on the light.
I meant to harm.
I did it for a reason.
To con us of our shares of the flat.
I didn't have to ask you to move back if that's what I wanted.
I did it to mend our relationships.
It was the only way.
To mend our relationships?
You left home for so many years.
Why do you suddenly want to mend it?
What's your agenda?
A terminal illness or organ donation?
What is it? Liver or kidney? Tell me.
What gave you such an idea?
Believe it or not,
Dad kept coming to me in my dreams.
He said this was his last wish.
He wanted us to reconcile and be united.
We should be like a family again.
He means us well.
So I came up with this idea.
You guys aren't easy to live with.
You're all drama queens.
Why else would I do this to myself?
Whatever, it's for your own self-interest.
How?
You have no idea, the night Pa passed away...
What now? What happened?
Don't tell me it was Dad's deathbed wish.
You said Dad died from a heart attack in his sleep.
He died peacefully.
Wait...
Don't tell me that's a lie too.
I don't want to talk about it anymore.
Whatever I say, you'll think it's a lie.
In short, I'm not conning any of you.
You will realize later.
I just ask you to keep it a secret from the other two,
especially Yan.
You're pretty funny. What makes you think I'm on your side?
Yan's back.
Let me tell her the truth.
You don't think we can reconcile?
Reconcile?
I was six when you left home.
We never bonded.
Believe me, I wasn't lying.
How very kind of you. Thank you.
My showtime.
Yan... Yes?
I have something to tell you.
Later. I'm in a hurry.
I came back for the handbook.
The school bus is waiting.
Wait...
Do you know Foon...
has been wearing his underwear back to front for two weeks?
Two weeks?
What was I saying?
Right, why did you say that?
I mean... he's been lying to us.
It's not working...
Lying about what?
He...
I ate Fei-fei's ice-cream by mistake.
Yue happened to see it.
I will buy one back for Fei-fei.
Don't call me out!
What? You stole a little girl's ice-cream? For shame!
I'm really sorry.
I'll buy one back.
Don't let us keep you.
What's wrong with you two?
I have to rush.
Stop it!
Bye...
Behave yourselves.
You can't stop me forever.
Calm down!
Think about it,
after the flat is sold in nine months,
the proceeds will still be divided by four.
I won't get a cent more.
It's not to my advantage at all.
You're the administrator.
You call the shots.
Isn't it an advantage?
Dad is no longer around.
This flat is the only thing that can draw us together.
If Yan knows the truth,
she will want it sold right away.
The four of us will never meet again.
I'm just buying time to mend our relationships.
We're siblings for one lifetime only.
Siblings?
Have you spared us a thought?
Fa and Yan can't get along. I'm caught in the middle.
To move back with Fei-fei, Yan had to leave her husband behind.
Her family's been broken up.
For what?
For you to sleep better,
we're forced live together.
You're so selfish!
So you insist on telling on me?
Yes!
What if you'll get a bigger share after the flat is sold?
What? Are you buying my silence?
You could think about it like that.
I'll pay you a million more out of my own pocket.
You don't know me.
Two million.
Alright, a deal.
A deal.
Bak Wah, you set me up.
I didn't know it would fail...
Save it.
So ghosts get senile too...
To be honest, we're juniors.
A miss or two is understandable.
If you're juniors, then I'm not born yet.
I don't mean age.
I mean in ghost hierarchy.
We're still juniors in the learning process.
It's like babies growing up.
So she means you're still a novice.
You shouldn't have been so boastful.
It's because I did the sleight of hand for you yesterday.
It weakened my powers.
It won't happen next time.
There's no next time.
Once bitten twice shy.
We don't bite.
Just a miss. Take it easy.
Wah, don't be upset.
I don't care what other people say.
You're always the best and the greatest to me.
You mean that?
Yes. I admire you. That's the truth.
Lan... Wah...
Don't be so corny.
I'm still around.
Oh right, what will you do with Yue?
He promised to keep the secret for me.
He was screaming for your head.
Why would he just let it go?
Maybe he knows you're doing it for them.
Auntie Lan, that has no real value.
Money makes the world go around.
Paying hush money is not very proper.
He'll betray you for a higher price.
Almighty Wah, you think! had a choice?
Fei-fei keeps playing the same piece. Isn't she bored yet?
Parents want their kids to pass the piano exam, not to love the piano.
They just need to know the tunes in the syllabus.
Living with a kid is such a pain.
The walls aren't soundproof.
Let's go to Macau for a weekend.
No. Hugo and I have a Shenzhen golf date with Director Kau.
So you can't even spend your days off with your wife.
I'm stuck in this rickety house seven days a week
with your awful family members.
It's killing me.
I may not have time for you,
but you can go to Long Island Hotel for a spa date with you girlfriends,
and enjoy your favorite cheese fondue in the Swiss Restaurant.
Are you paying?
Of course.
Thank you, Hubby!
Hold on! Why are you being so generous?
Because my fortune stars have aligned.
Money keeps coming my way. Poor me.
Why?
It's not the time to tell yet. Sorry.
What's so mysterious?
I'm sure your stocks have gone up.
Whatever you say.
Then I want to go on a trip to Europe
to make my sisters green with envy.
Make them die with envy.
Let's take a cruise and see the Northern Lights.
Wow! You said it!
I want to go on a shopping spree in Italy, see an opera in England,
stay in a castle in Germany and visit vineyards in France.
That will take a longtime.
So?
That's the advantage of having no kids.
We can go anywhere for however long.
Hold on... Are you hinting at something?
I hadn't thought about it seriously before.
Your sister and her daughter made me realize that having a kid means no freedom,
scrimping money and no dolling up.
You have to think twice before buying ice-cream.
That really scares me.
That's because her husband doesn't make much money.
I know you're good at making money.
Still, why should I give up my freedom and figure for the privilege of raising a kid?
If you don't want to be a mom, then don't.
Do you want to be a dad?
That's not just up to me.
I can't make you be a mom.
You're the best! Of course.
What? A clerk has to speak four languages? Seriously?
Full-time tutor?
No use. I can't do that.
Brother Chan, the usual set meal C?
I feel full today. Lo mien will do.
Sure.
Uncle Foon, I'm 80 stickers short of a Softy Bear water bottle.
Why call me? Shouldn't you be calling your mommy?
She said you don't have to go to work, so you have time.
Please, Uncle Foon.
Alright... don't beg.
I'll get them for you.
Great! Bye.
I see the making of a material girl.
Hey... Hey...
You have time for ice-cream?
I don't!
I have a meeting with friends in the education sector.
My schedule is full.
You have time to eat lo mien?
I have so many jobs I only have time to eat lo mien.
Yeah?
I don't have time to talk with you.
Me neither.
I have to rush to my meeting.
Meeting and ice-cream don't mix.
Please put them back.
Meeting time...
You're pathetic.
How amazing are you?
That lady beats you by a mile.
Who?
Her.
Yeah!
If only the stickers were money.
I thought your bookings were full.
But you're here.
What about your meeting with people in the education sector?
That's none of your business.
Since you have so many stickers, sell me 80.
Why not win them yourself?
Oh, you're not good at it.
So? I'm a busy man.
And I'm good at other things.
You've won so many.
Sell me 80.
I'm wining the stickers for him.
What do you think?
Come on... sell me 80 stickers.
Alright, $300.
So expensive? Why don't I just buy a Softy Bear water bottle?
So you want a water bottle.
It's an exclusive, not for sale.
Well? Yes or no?
Day...
Light...
Robbery!
I wanted to ask my mom to help out with the baby.
My wife wouldn't have it.
She's got it all planned.
She'll take care of the baby during the day,
I'll take over at night.
That means I'll have to close at night.
You said the night hours are the peak hours.
That's a waste.
Exactly.
When the theatre opens,
people will come here for night snacks after the midnight show.
It's not just about money, we'll lose the regulars.
You're a dad now, you have a daughter,
don't look so down.
Smile...
Now you look good.
Make me a bowl of crackling noodles.
Aren't you down as well?
I'm not.
No? You haven't found a job yet?
It's no big deal. I'll just take a break.
Since you're free,
how about helping out here?
What? Help out here?
Sure, no problem.
Business is business.
I can give you a discount.
How's $100 an hour?
Why should I pay you?
I'm working for you.
Why should I work for free?
By this logic,
you don't have to pay Ming either.
Brother Foon, leave me out of this.
Leave him out of it.
He's my employee, you're my friend.
You'll pay your employee, but not your friend.
So I'm a volunteer.
Then friends can eat here for free.
No! Yes!
Help me out during the night hours.
What's money between us?
How unscrupulous!
Another terrifying call.
Break it.
Hello, dear.
Yes, I'm on my way.
I'm getting off...
It won't take long... bye.
You give men a bad name.
Ming, you have the shop.
What about the delivery?
What should I do first?
The delivery, then come back and man the shop.
Close when it's time.
I gotta go.
Hey! What?
Make me the noodles first.
Ming will make it for you when he's back.
Can't you make it for me first?
A minute or two won't kill anyone.
Ming, just go. Don't bother with him.
You man the shop for me.
Close it for me as well.
Hey... are you a man or not?
Brother Foon, thanks a lot.
Ming... you make me the noodles first...
The customer can wait...
I'm manning the shop?
Am I that trustworthy?
Robbery...
No one takes me seriously.
That means this is a safe neighbourhood.
Pork lard...
A slice of radish will do.
Radish is cold in nature.
I do think mine is as good as his, if not better.
A bowl of pork lard noodles, please.
This customer is in luck today, she'll get to enjoy my debut at cooking.
Enjoy. Thanks...
You again?
Enjoy.
Hey! What?
Wait!
It used to be four pieces of radish.
How come there's just one?
Please, I'm not a professional.
I'm just filling in.
I can make it up to you.
Three short? Here's four.
Enjoy.
Now you're talking.
Hey... What now?
How come you're here?
Where's Wong Tai Sin?
It's a long story.
He gives men a bad name.
His wife calls and he rushes back.
Ming is out doing a delivery.
Once he's back, it's time to close the shop.
I asked you why you're here.
I just told you why.
I've bumped into you three times today.
You keep telling me you're meeting people in the education sector.
Stop pretending.
I've bumped into you just as many times.
What about your Self and Help?
Are they alright?
It's Work and Hard.
Whatever.
Hey... What?
Your lock hasn't been fixed yet, right?
Let me check it for you.
It's working fine. No, thanks.
Fix it or it'll go berserk anytime.
Let me see if there are other things that need fixing.
The plaster on your ceiling is cracking.
Your toilet is not flushing properly.
Is business that bad?
The noodles are on the house. Enjoy.
I can go after I'm done.
It's on the house. Take your time.
Hey, I mean really mean it.
What now?
You sure are a chameleon.
What? Making a scene?
Why don't you wail on the floor?
Poor me! So I have to wail too.
I've already lost my job.
I can only afford pork lard noodles.
I admit it's tasty.
Still, I'm out of a job.
Go the whole nine yards, come on...
You me back my job...
Alright... you win... get up...
I have to wait till Ming is back before I can close up.
Yeah! I won!
Crazy!
I know her...
Come in...
Fixing this and that for me?
I knew something wasn't right.
You wanted to pass out flyers in the building.
It's a win-win deal, isn't this good?
Good for you.
Oh, Chan-Chan? What's up?
He asked me to come fix the bathroom lock.
Yes, the bathroom lock.
My toilet rolls, please.
How's it going? Still looking for a job?
I want to take over Uncle Chung's shop.
I'm doing freelance work to save money.
He can wait till the end of the month.
Good! Do you have enough money?
I can lend you some.
No, thanks.
If I can't raise less than $100,000, how can I run a shop on my own.
Don't worry.
What are you doing here?
Don't you need to pick up Fei-fei?
Right! Talk to you later.
Take your time.
Bye... Bye...
The lock.
Do a good job! Don't mess it up.
Hey...
That girl again?
Your girlfriend?
Girlfriend? She's my bane.
Besides, she's a girl only by a stretch of the imagination.
How old are you?
Who are you to be so picky?
That's my business.
I didn't feel it the first time I met her.
Now the feeling is strong.
She has a very different vibe.
She's a tough nut,
but rather short on kinship.
It seems she's in some trouble.
I agree.
She's her own biggest trouble.
Bye... Bye...
Miss Mo, where's Bianca?
Her dad picked her up.
Is our daughter with you?
Yes. I missed her.
So I came back to see her.
You've taken her out for fun again?
She has homework to do,
and piano practice afterwards.
Give homework a break, alright?
When was the last time she saw her dad and grandma?
It's not good for her.
Mom really misses her.
She keeps asking when she's going back.
Don't tell me you're taking her back to Shenzhen.
Yes, I'm taking her back.
Fei-fei, finish the ice-cream.
Then I'm taking you back to Shenzhen to see Grandma.
How about that? Great.
Too much ice-cream is not good for her stomach.
She has to go to school tomorrow...
Hello?
Fei-fei, you've always wanted to learn to ride a bicycle.
I'll teach you now OK.
What? You don't want to?
Don't fight with Mommy, alright?
We're not fighting. We just talk loudly.
What? You don't believe me?
I do.
Are we going back to see Grandma?
Do you miss me and Grandma?
I do.
But I have uncles here, and Fairy Granny, Whizkid Grandpa and Kitty.
I'm happy to living with so many people.
I'll miss them after I go back.
But you don't have your dad here.
Why don't you move here?
I have to make money.
I can't move here.
I promise you I'll come see you more often.
Great.
Let's learn to ride a bicycle now!
Yes!
Here we go.
Don't be scared...
Find your balance...
Then keep pedaling.
That's right...
Good...
I'm going to let go...
Go...
Dad. I'm doing it!
Yes, you did it!
Fei-fei, you alright?
Get up...
I'm fine.
Let me see...
Your buddies Work and Hard.
What about these two?
Humpty and Dumpty?
Put them down.
Why are are you here again?
What's broken this time?
Is this house uninhabitable?
I've checked. Everything's fine.
Things are old, but they still work.
I told you. She insisted on coming up.
Work and Hard didn't have to come to the rescue.
Gotta go.
Uncle Yue...
Fei-fei, Chiu. Yue...
Sis Chan-Chan... Fei-fei...
You went on a shopping spree!
Daddy bought me a lot of treats.
And Mommy's favourite mung bean Popsicle.
Foon, it's been a while.
Right. If you're not in a hurry, stay for dinner.
No, thanks.
I have to go after I pay my respects to Father.
Go ahead.
How come it's just you and Fei-fei?
I thought you went to pick up Fei-fei with Yan.
Right...
Here she is.
Bianca... Mommy.
You scared me.
Where have you been?
Why is your uniform so dirty?
Daddy taught me how to ride a bike. I did it
Ride a bike?
No wonder you're so dirty.
And your hands are hurt! How come?
How did she hurt herself?
Didn't you watch her?
A fall or two is normal when learning to ride a bike.
It's normal.
I almost broke my arm during my first ride.
What if she hits her head next time?
Have you ever thought about that?
I was watching her. Don't worry.
She wouldn't have fallen down if you had.
It's just a minor scratch.
Stop it! Your kid is here.
Go in and change.
Sis Chan-Chan, help her change.
Right, come on...
Good girl... just go.
I went to the through train station to look for you two.
I was so worried you were taking her back to Shenzhen.
I wanted to, but I'm not as impetuous as you are.
I knew Fei-fei would miss you.
We have to go back as a family.
I can't.
Fei-fei and I have to stay here for nine months first.
Is it worthwhile breaking up the family for money?
For $3 million, it is.
We just have to sacrifice a little time.
I'm doing it for our future.
You can have your own factory once we have the money.
The factory again.
I've never wanted to run a factory.
Why are you making me?
I know, you look down on me.
You think you sold yourself short by marrying me.
This is how you think of me?
Alright, let me tell you now,
I'm not leaving. Not today, not tomorrow, not ever.
So you can go now
Alright, don't ever come back.
Fine!
How outrageous...
No tea!
I hate you men! Men are no good!
Shut up and have some tea...
What now?
Foon, she's talking about you.
You still don't know your gender?
I'm a boy.
Don't ever grow up then.
Go check on Yan.
Why don't you?
How useless of you! Stop eating!
Fun is always good.
Who has to clean up the mess? Me!
See? The stain won't come out.
Have a mung bean Popsicle to calm yourself down.
Your husband bought it for you.
If a Popsicle could solve the problem,
things wouldn't be so complicated now
Just talk to Chiu about it.
Fei-fei was no unhappy when you two were fighting.
I don't want to upset it.
Chiu still get it.
You really mind him being just a manager?
I wouldn't have married him if I did.
When I first met him, he wasn't even a manager.
He was just a foreman.
Boss.
Here you are. Yes.
Let me introduce someone to you.
He's our most responsible foreman.
Chiu.
Boss?
She's our new accountant in our Hong Kong office.
Chiu is from Hong Kong too.
He works here and lives in our quarters.
Call me Yan.
Call me Chiu. Hello...
Hello, Brother Chiu.
This doesn't have a company chop or signature.
The Hong Kong office won't approve it.
You have to sign it first.
Thank you.
You brought it here for me to sign.
Let me take you out to dinner.
I... excuse me.
Hello? Alright.
I'm sorry, I can't have dinner with you.
I need to rush back to Hong Kong.
Something happened?
One brother is ill, I have to take him to the doctor.
And the other needs help with his homework.
Let me take you to the train station
No need. I can calla cab.
It's getting dark.
It's not safe for you to walk by yourself.
Let me ask Boss for his car.
I'll drive you to the train station.
Wait for me here.
Brother Chiu... Yes?
Can you take me out to dinner next week?
Sure...
Wait for me here.
Yan.
We get off here...
Yan... I want to tell you something.
You have been taking care of your family for so long.
It's about time you let someone take care of you.
I can't give you the best right now.
But I will work hard.
I will give you an easy life.
Marry me.
I just want him to get ahead.
But he thinks I'm a snobby woman.
I don't know what to say.
I do think that he loves you with all his heart.
He loves Fei-fei very much too.
You're already very blessed.
Be contented. That makes life easier.
Let's not talk about me.
What about you taking over Uncle Chung's shop?
I'm still saving money.
You won't ask me for a loan.
What if I invested in it?
Invest? Yes.
Since he thinks I'm ambitious.
He keeps saying running a business isn't easy.
I'm going to pull myself up by my own bootstraps now.
I'm going to show him I can do it.
What do you know about being a handyman?
Nothing, but you do.
I've thought about it.
Just doing odd jobs won't do.
Do you know any interior decorators?
I do. They sometimes pass me the electrical works.
That's good.
Find yourself some skilful interior decorators.
We can be interior contractors as well.
My husband works in building materials.
I know some suppliers.
We can be a one-stop shop.
Really?
She swore.
You have nothing to do
and you have the time for ice-cream?
I am actually very busy!
I have a meeting with friends
in the medical sector...
No, education sector.
Still contacting the medical sector...
I'm working for you. Shouldn't you pay me?
Ming.
Ming... I forgot. But his look...
The flushing water... how to say?
A bit bland...
What? If you're juniors,
then I'm not yet born...
I'm talking like you.
Are you teasing me?
