Lady Sour

CHO CHO BAI-YUET and her daughter CHO CHING run a cosmetic business in Mo Tak Town, and their sales promotion wording motivates KAI CHUN, a man with scabies and acne all over his face, to buy their products. The young master of Sum Cho Vinegar, CHIN TUNG, brings along his personal maid SHAN CHA, who disguises herself as a guy, and goes to collect the debt from BOSS PO. While there, BOSS PO's wife bursts into tears and tells him that they were deceived by BAI-YUET and thereby lost fifty silver ingots. It turns out that BAI-YUET and her daughter are swindlers. CHO CHING encounters CHIN TUNG and falls in love with him at first sight; whereas BAI-YUET tries by all means to swindle money from CHIN TUNG. Although CHO CHING intends to find a proper job and settle down, BAI-YUET has no intention to settle down until she finds her husband, CHO TAI-KUNG……

BAI-YUET takes her daughter and goes to CHIN's home, reminding them that her daughter and their son were betrothed. While they are arguing with each other, OFFICER SUN CHING-YI shows up and puts BAI-YUET in jail on the allegation of murdering her husband. LORD CHIU rules that BAI-YUET is not guilty of murder, so CHO CHING asks CHIN TUNG to make offerings of willow branches on her behalf to redeem her vow to GUAN YIN. Seeing that SHAN CHA looks after CHIN TUNG really well, CHO CHING cannot help feeling jealous. CHO CHING coerces KAI CHUN to help bring her and CHIN TUNG together after catching KAI CHUN red-handed trying to pretend to be a ghost to scare people. Looking for an ideal wife for his son CHIN TUNG, CHIN CHONG is eager to find his son a suitable girl to get married so as to help prevent them from having bad luck……

OLD MADAM CHIN goes to the Miu Sum Nunnery to worship GUAN YIN, only to find out that the statue disappeared. According the fortune teller, the statue will appear again if OLD MADAM CHIN helps fulfill the wish of the one who is able to find the statue. CHO CHING manages to find the statue for OLD MADAM CHIN, who finally agrees to the marriage between CHO CHING and CHIN TUNG. KAI CHUN blames BAI-YUET for making him handsome as he has always been surrounded by girls since; whereas BAI-YUET devotes to her business so much that she even forgets to go with her daughter CHO CHING to pick up the wedding gown, so KAI CHUN goes with CHO CHING instead. CHAU LAW files suit against KAI CHUN as KAI CHUN claimed to have an affair with her on her wedding day resulting in her divorce, so LORD CHIU sentences KAI CHUN to a caning for twenty lashes……

The following morning after their wedding, CHIN TUNG and his wife CHO CHING serve tea to CHIN CHONG and CHIN SHEUNG, during which CHIN SHEUNG keeps talking about their household rules. CHO CHING and CHIN TUNG then go to the market where CHIN TUNG inadvertently hurts his hands on some pineapple skin. Suddenly, SHAN CHA jumps out, sucking the blood for CHIN TUNG. With CHIN TUNG showing up with red rashes on his face and sore throat the next day, CHIN SHEUNG blames CHO CHING for getting CHIN TUNG exposed to pineapples; whereas OLD MADAM CHIN orders SHAN CHA to follow CHIN TUNG closely to take care of him, fearing that CHO CHING is incapable of doing so. On top of that, she even punishes CHO CHING by sending her to their vinegar brewery to learn how to brew vinegar. The Shing Wong Temple became run-down over the years, so LORD CHIU appeals to his townsmen to donate money for repairs……

When CHO CHING goes to the Yat Lo Inn to talk to her mother and air her grievance, suddenly, CHIN SHEUNG arrives there too, and the two start picking a quarrel. At that moment, KAI SO indicates that CHIN SHEUNG has wrinkles and black eyes, suggesting that CHIN SHEUNG should try BAI-YUET's cosmetic skincare treatment. Mistaking the one who just sneaks in as BAI-YUET, CHIN SHEUNG completely freaks out after finding out the one turns out to be TAI-LONG instead of BAI-YUET. Above that, she vows to file a lawsuit against CHO CHING as the latter prevented her from chasing after TAI-LONG, which makes CHO CHING the accomplice. After the newly appointed LORD FU SAM-YAN convicts TAI-LONG, CHIN SHEUNG also wants SAM-YAN to punish CHO CHING. OLD MADAM CHIN gives CHIN SHEUNG a stern lecture, nonetheless, she refuses to accept CHO CHING's apology as she has to go to the court in person to deal with the issue due to what CHO CHING has done……

BAI-YUET suggests marrying off SHAN CHA, and she as well as CHO CHING and KAI SO all think that KAI CHUN would make a great husband for SHAN CHA. Naked CHIN CHONG proposes marriage to KAI SO in the bath house. In order to take revenge against CHIN CHONG for having sexually harassed KAI SO, KAI CHUN sneaks into the vinegar brewery in the late of the night to pee in a jar of vinegar. Gathering in front of the shop of Sum Cho Vinegar, a large group of customers complain that they experienced excessive vomiting and diarrhea after consuming their vinegar, so SUM-YAN takes CHIN CHONG into custody and closes down his shop. CHUN CHU and TSUI NGAU hear that someone hid treasure in the Shing Wong Temple. Noticing that three people are acting suspiciously, CHING-YI goes to stop and question them. To his surprise, he discovers a spell casting straw puppet with his name on it while raiding the temple……

CHO CHING proposes inviting KAI CHUN to go out and travel around so as to provide opportunities for him to accompany SHAN CHA. But CHIN TUNG frankly expresses that he is very reluctant to marry off SHAN CHA. SHAN CHA feels very upset after learning that CHIN TUNG is going to marry her off. BUTCHER WING is caught by KAI CHUN in the act of attempting to sexually harass a girl, who turns out to be SHAN CHA. With CHO CHING arranging SHAN CHA to have a dinner with KAI CHUN, BAI-YUET, who wants to bring KAI CHUN and SHAN CHA together, sends them wine with some aphrodisiac she added inside. CHUN CHU needs money to treat his grandmother's illness, so he steals MADAM CHONG's silver ingots and ends up being hunted down by the constables. KAI CHUN tells him to return the silver ingots to MADAM CHONG, which catches the eye of CHING-YI and YING MING. Pleading guilty to stealing, KAI CHUN is sentenced to a three-month jail term……

CHIN CHONG agrees to help KAI SO provided that KAI SO marries him, leaving KAI CHUN no other choice but to ask CHIN CHONG to arrange a formal wedding ceremony, and request SUM-YAN to release CHUN CHU. SHAN CHA wants to be tonsured to become a nun in the Miu Sum Nunnery, but OLD MADAM CHIN doesn't allow her to do so. On top of that, OLD MADAM CHIN even holds CHO CHING accountable for everything that just happened. Going to bathe in the bath house, CHO CHING notices that KAI CHUN is also in the male section, so she bursts into tears and complains that she has been suffering all kinds of hardships after she married CHIN TUNG. And the saddest part is that she feels that CHIN TUNG treats SHAN CHA better than he treats her. With OLD MADAM CHIN bestowing fine clothes on SHAN CHA, CHO CHING believes that OLD MADAM CHIN does this on purpose so as to humiliate her……
