The Reunion by a White Hare

The wind blows away Lee Sam-leung’s handkerchief and leads her to the stable, where she encounters the down-and-out Lau Chi-yuen. Regardless of Chi-yuen’s poverty, Sam-leung’s father approves their marriage. However, instigated by his wife, Sam-leung’s brother, Hung-yat forces Chi-yuen to divorce Sam-leung after the death of their parents. This leads to the separation of the Lee’s family.

Hung-yat allocates the poor and demon infested melon field to Sam-leung as her share from their parents’ legacy. Unexpectedly, Chi-yuen gets a sword and a tome of military strategy in the melon field after defeating the melon demon. With the new relics, he determines to seek fame in the army. This leaves the already pregnant Sam-leung no choice but to live with Hung-yat’s family. Being maltreated, Sam-leung has to bite the umbilical cord off by herself in her delivery.

Taking pity on his sister, Hung-shun volunteers to take the newborn baby to look for his father. Hung-shun arrives at Jiuzhou and reunites the father and son. Ngok Sau-ying, daughter of the Marshal, loves Chi-yuen but he insists he has a wife and she will always be. Chi-yuen matches Sau-ying with Hung-shun instead. Years later, Chi-yuen is ennobled and returns to his homeland with his son Ngau Ci-long. While hunting a hare, Ngau Ci-long comes across Sam-leung near a well. However, the mother and the grown-up son have not seen each other since he was born. Learning Sam-leung’s news from this familiar stranger, Chi-yuen sets out to meet his wife and gives Sam-leung a golden seal. Seeing Sam-leung’s golden seal and Chi-yuen’s prestigious status, Hung-yat and his wife try hard to flatter them but are reproached by Chi-yuen. Sam-leung finally reunites with her husband and son after all the hardships.
