Episode synopsis
Although CHUNG convinces YUK to go back to the TIN family, she does not want to lose her face by doing it. KWAI works overnight to make a movable TIN HING LUNG wooden cart as to please YUK and finally she agrees to go home with him. FOOK shortens the due date of the loan payment up to ten days and YUK wants to pawn the gold chain which KWAI has given her as a love token. Acting together with the two little water melon deities, FU cheats FOOK and the officer with a hoax to exchange a piece of rare and valuable land with the loan contract. FU assumes that he has repaid his debt of gratitude and can be a deity again in heaven. Yet his hope fails. When FU finds that YUK keeps taunting him while he does all her bidding, he wants to burn himself up.
About The Winter Melon Tale
Fan Tung (Liu Kai Chi) is one of the four deities under the Stove God. He has offended the Queen Mother of the West of being ravenous and gets imprisoned for 500 years in the winter melon. By chance Tin Dai Kwai (Sunny Chan) and his wife Chung Bik Yuk (Louisa So) free him from constraint. Tung gets flattened by Kwai's older brother Tin Tai Fu (also played by Liu Kai Chi) accidentally and his spirit enters Fu's body inexplicably while losing all his instincts. Tung starts living in Kwai's house and getting closer to the family. Yuk finds Tung suspicious and she tries to unmask him by all means. Having failed in his attempt to return to Heaven, Tung becomes reliant on the help of six little deities who assimilated his instincts released from the melon, and since then Tung is aware of the fickleness of human nature.
