River of Wine

YIU comes down with tuberculosis again. SIU MUI tells PIK that YIU is seriously ill, so PIK rushes back to the SUNGs’ mansion to have a look. While PIK is looking after YIU inside his bedroom, TSUN and the rest of the family come back. TSUN accuses YIU and PIK of committing adultery while KAM is willing to risk her life to prove their innocence. Not wanting to get KAM into trouble, YIU offers to step down as the family leader. LAN is shocked to see YIU lying unconscious outside the door, but is utterly thrilled to know that he can finally return to his real home. Shocked by the rumor about YIU and PIK, CHING asks to go back to her maiden home to find out what is happening, but is stopped by LAN. Accompanied by a group of relatives, TSUN goes to the ancestral temple and deletes YIU’s name from the genealogy book……

YIU goes to see PIK at the nunnery. Knowing that YIU has found CHEONG, PIK decides to move to the Benevolence Hall so that she can look after her brother. Master YEE, one of Tsui Lung Winery’s most prominent customers, is not happy with the wine quality and needs YIU to pay him a great sum of compensation as stipulated in the contract. Fearing that YIU will find out the truth about the poor wine quality, TSUN turns to LEUNG for help. CHING falls down in a faint and is later found pregnant. The whole family is thrilled by the news while CHING is anxious about whether the baby will be born in good condition. YIU and PIK try to help CHEONG recall where the wine license is kept, but CHEONG manages to sneak away within a few seconds. YIU reveals to LAN that he would like to transfer a sum of capital from Tsui Lung Winery to Reunion House, so that TSUN will not lose all the money in one go……

HONG tells CHING that they can finally get married. Having learnt about TSUN’s request, CHING flies into a rage and rebukes him for taking advantage of HONG. As YIU is still unclear about TSUN’s motive, HONG has already made up his mind. Not wanting to close down Sze Yuen Winery indefinitely, HONG finally agrees to TSUN’s request. TSUN is busy preparing dowry for CHING, and KAM suggests giving her a certain number of shares in Tsui Yau House so that she can enjoy a higher status in her future husband’s family. CHEONG who is dressed in mourning clothes has come to wreak havoc at CHING’s wedding. HONG forbids TSUN to dismiss the old workers unless he is willing to pay every one of them three months of wages as compensation. HONG reveals that he would like to sell the remaining 40% stake as well as the wine license to TSUN. HONG takes CHING to the riverside, confiding that she is the only thing that matters to him……

PIK tries to intercede with YIU on behalf of the TINGs, hoping that he can return the brewery site to WING. Despite her persistent requests, YIU rejects her. TSUN has come up with a number of promotional campaigns for Tsui Lung Winery, and has impressed YIU a lot with his creativity and business mind. Wai Heung is the only wine from Jiujiang to be selected as the royal wine. Sze Yuen Winery has attracted hundreds of new customers overnight. According to LEUNG, Sze Yuen Winery needs to close down temporarily for quality assessment. LAN is afraid that such an arrangement will cause a substantial financial loss while HONG blames LEUNG for being too unreasonable and inconsiderate. CHAU sneaks back to the winery and tries to convince the police to let him in and get back the ingredients for wine making, but in vain……

While YIU and LAN are having their reunion dinner, TSUN turns up suddenly and makes a formal apology to the LEUNGs. FONG would like to take a trip around Canton. For this reason, LEUNG has asked FUN to take care of her during her stay in the city, which FONG finds very annoying. YIU and PIK catch CHENG KAU-KONG, a foreman with Tsui Lung Winery, gambling with a group of workers. Later YIU and LOK-TO discover that more than 100 jars of wine have been stolen from Tsui Lung Winery. Knowing that YIU is looking to expand business, TSUN suggests he seek collaboration with an existing, well-established winery. YIU agrees with TSUN and asks him to look for a suitable business partner for their winery. TING SHEUNG-WING holds a birthday banquet at Tsui Yau House, in the midst of which TSUN urges the TINGs to return Lei Lung Winery to the SUNGs and rebukes them for illegally occupying their land for two whole decades……

Although his wine stall at the temple fair is doing quite well, HONG still looks so puzzled. YIU is shocked to the core when he knows that the final bidding price turns out to be so much higher than the original one. He has a word with LEUNG about this and comes to suspect that it is TSUN who has revised the tender application. TSUN admits everything and YIU warns him that the revised bidding price is so high that it will lead to a huge financial loss unless their wine is selected as the royal wine. CHING disapproves of TSUN’s business practices. She takes out the late Mr SUNG’s notebook and asks TSUN to have a look at the business guidelines their father has set for them. HONG and CHING have finally resolved the misunderstanding and become lovers. FUN and LEUNG are busy preparing for the royal wine selection session. FUN is so amazed at HONG’s creativity when he notices that his firecrackers have attracted such a large crowd……

Thinking that she has killed SHUN, CHING is scared out of her wits. HONG discovers that SHUN is still alive, so he tries to comfort CHING at once. CHING is very worried about TSUN while YIU, believing that TSUN is a good-natured lad, promises to find the best lawyer for him. TSUN is finally released and returns home safe and sound. He praises LEUNG for his perspicacity and apologizes to YIU for all the trouble he has caused. TSUN comes to Sze Yuen Winery with a pack of medicinal herbs. To avoid any further misunderstanding, HONG insists that he and YIU are two separate individuals and not related in any way. TSUN follows LAN to the riverside to have a water and wine tasting lesson. He purposely praises LAN for her extensive knowledge in wine making. But in return for his compliments, LAN suggests he should be more considerate with YIU……

CHING offers to cook TSUN some soup as an expression of encouragement. TSUN is resolved to serve the family and promises to do his best to make up for what is lost over the past two decades. HONG is looking for an illustrator who can help draw posters for his new wine, and CHING offers to lend a hand as gratitude for his efforts in saving YIU. TSUN stays in the winery overnight asking an old worker for tips on making wine yeast. The following day, he goes to see YIU in a bid to impress him by showing what he has just learnt. CHING is amazed at LAN’s excellent cooking skills, and would like to learn how to make fried rice with assorted ingredients. CHING asks PIK and YIU if she can use the kitchen in Tsui Yau House so that she can make a massive batch of fried rice for the poor. A rice retailer from Canton has come to see HONG asking about his relationship with CHING……

KAM asks PIK which girl YIU would like to marry but PIK explains that YIU is not ready to tie the knot yet, as this would ruin the girl’s life for sure, whoever she may be. CHING who passes by has overheard their conversation. She suggests doing charity work in the name of the SUNGs, believing that this is another great way to ward off bad luck. TSUN sees CHING distributing free rice in the street and tries to reunite with her at once. Unfortunately he is regarded as nothing more than a con man and gets beaten up again. LOK-TO manages to get YIU some western medicine through his friend in Hong Kong, and YIU seems to be feeling better after a few doses. LEUNG reveals that he is going to attend the birthday banquet for the Honorable TUNG of the Imperial Household with the wine produced by the twelve wineries, taking it as a great chance to promote the Jiujiang wine. His proposal is enthusiastically supported by all winery owners……

YIU finally finds out the truth and the misunderstanding between the brothers is soon resolved. While enjoying the tea eggs together, both YIU and HONG recall their childhood days with LAN. The brothers get inspired by the food stall owner and decide to make wine yeast with bay leaves. CHING has dropped her wallet, and HONG offers to help look for it and the bamboo tag kept inside. CHI-TSUN who has stolen CHING’s wallet is shocked to see the bamboo tag. Immediately he recognizes it as a gift he made for his younger sister when he was a kid. Knowing that his family is still alive, TSUN is resolved to go back to Jiujiang to seek reunion. YIU is still having a bad cough, so PIK offers to cook him some herbal soup. YIU notices that PIK’s bracelet has gone. Although PIK does not say much, YIU quickly realizes that the bracelet has been passed to CHEONG for debt settlement……

TO reminds YIU that he is no longer a member of the LEUNGs and should stay out of the dispute for the sake of the SUNGs. YIU comes to see LEUNG with the supporting documents, urging him to release HONG as soon as possible. His request is not granted, so YIU offers to pay LEUNG a sum of money, with which he hopes the dispute will soon be resolved. LEUNG is so angry with YIU that he has HONG beaten up severely, in a bid to coerce him into making a confession. PIK is shocked to learn that TO has incited the manager to store up all the necessary food ingredients so that the LEUNGs will not be able to make decent dishes for the Dragon Boat Banquet. LAN has prepared an array of dishes for the banquet but the attendees insist on trying HONG’s cooking. Luckily YIU and HONG manage to come back just in time. The LEUNGs arrive at Sze Yuen Winery which they purchased earlier, and are all surprised by its remoteness and inaccessibility……
