The Last Steep Ascent

MIU TIN asks YIM-PING to give CHAI-MAN the plaque of "Number One in Canton" on his behalf, which pleases CHAI-MAN. Saying that she is going with MIU TIN to Two Oxen village in discussion on the issue of planting the Fleece flower root, SUN-YUET entrusts MAN-WAH as the substitute manager. At last MEI-KUEN learns about the spreading rumor of SUN-YUET and MIU TIN having an affair, so she rushes to the Railway Station hoping to stop them from going to Two Oxen village. While SUN-YUET and MIU TIN explain the planting plan to the villagers, CHUNG-KAM proposes establishing a Working Committee and requests SUN-YUET to sponsor them with three hundred dollars annually, which is considered as a rip-off by the others. MIU TIN and SUN-YUET go visiting OI-TAI yet fail to get a response, so MIU TIN inquires with CHENG KIU about OI-TAI's current situation. In response to his enquiries, CHENG KIU updates MIU TIN with OI-TAI being hospitalized for the serious illness that she once suffered. Eventually it starts raining, which over joys the villagers. Taking out the rice wine his father brewed for his mother, MIU TIN drinks with SUN-YUET, who inadvertently leans on MIU TIN's shoulder, and falls asleep.
