The Family Link

Housewives MUNG KA-KA, TING MUI-HEUNG and CHO MEI-NGO live in the same public housing estate. KA and HEUNG have known each other since secondary school. Both of them were top guns at school. While KA was regarded as the most beautiful girl at school, HEUNG was a frequent awards-winner. Back then romance always came first to KA. She met FONG YIN-CHO, the Dancing King, at graduation and they fell in love almost instantly. Instead of going to university, she married CHO as soon as she had graduated. The couple now has a twin son and daughter. As for HEUNG, she went to university upon graduation and there she met KAM BIU, who came from a well-off family. They moved into a luxurious apartment after they had married. Unfortunately, BIU’s business failed later on and so they had to move to where they live now. NGO is a grassroots housewife. Since she married MA TAI-HA she has been looking after the family and their son……

In the meeting of the parents’ club, the Chairperson suggests organizing a study trip to the four ancient civilization countries. KA counter suggests voting for the Chairperson of the new school year first. Her suggestion wins the support of other parents. Both KA and HEUNG expresses their wish to run for the post for the benefit of their children but NGO prefers being a voter instead. TSUN gives the pair of chopsticks that belonged to his deceased wife to HEUNG. MAN blames him for having forgotten about his wife. She also believes that he is leading a happy and comfortable life on the death benefit paid under YO YO’s life insurance policy. To teach TSUN a lesson, she eats the expired desserts thrown away by his restaurant deliberately. MAN is taken to hospital. She demands five per cent share of TSUN’s restaurant as compensation. TSUN has no choice but agrees. HEUNG and KA’s children are taking part in a competition held by the school……

Other members of the parents’ club tell NGO that they will vote for KA for they do not like HEUNG’s air of arrogance. It irks MAN that TSUN makes cakes with the housewives on his wedding anniversary with YO YO. As a matter of fact, the cakes are actually for YO YO. MAN is stirring up trouble at TSUN’s restaurant again. TSUN points out straightly that she ate the expired desserts on purpose. He also tells her that he has a videotape that supports what he says. MAY, a colleague of BIU, gets close to him whenever she can. HEUNG asks her out to demand she keep a distance from her husband. KUEN has hired a Pilipino domestic helper to look after his daughter. His daughter chokes on a fish bone. KA comes to her help before it is too late, only to be blamed by KUEN. MAN requests KA, HEUNG and NGO to pay respect to YO YO’s grave, after which she accuses them of killing YO YO……
