A 12-year-old girl Mindy Ho (Valerie Tian) attempts to help her single mother win the lottery and better their living conditions through the usage of Taoist charms she found in a book from Lee Tai Tai's Fortune Telling and Appliance Repair shop. Her mother, Kin, works as a telephone psychic at night and at a restaurant during the day. During this entire time, Mindy attempts to match her mother with the restaurant owner; Alvin Wong. Meanwhile, Shuck Wong had just lost his job as a security guard. In shame, he dons his old uniform in front of his wife, Hun Ping, and pretends to go to work when he is really looking for a new job. When his wife gets a job while he remains jobless, he begins to feel worthless. Also at this time, Bing Lai struggles with his relationship with his father, who is a famous butcher in Hong Kong. He wishes to one day get rid of his father's disdain for him by working in his own butcher shop with his son.
