Only two of his sincere friends should come to the merchant Sun Rong's birthday, two scoundrels - Liu Longqing and Hu Zizhuan. The wife who set the festive table bitterly reproaches her husband for not inviting her younger brother, Sun Chunyar. According to the slander of two rogues, he was excommunicated, he lives in an abandoned pottery.
Sun Junior has no money for a present. But he cannot congratulate his elder brother, and he has to go empty-handed. For this, he first meets him reproachfully, and then beats him up.
Tomorrow is a holiday - remembrance day. The Sun family is going to visit the family cemetery. Sun Rong invites pranksters for the company. Without waiting for his younger brother, he performs a sacrificial rite. His wife is very unhappy that her husband violates traditions, prefers strangers to close relatives. When the younger Sun arrives, the older one again begins to scold him for nothing. My friends know, they tempt him. And again he beat his brother.
Sun Rong continues to drink with two scoundrels. He is already pretty drunk. Friends whisper that the younger, to his death, performs a witching ceremony. Sun Rong bursts into rough language, and drinking companions take him home from the cemetery.
The next day, the trinity continues to drink, but already in the tavern. Sun gets drunk and drunk, they drag him out into the street, where he falls to the ground and falls asleep. The snowstorm begins. Shalopai fear night watch, and indeed do not want to mess with a drunk. They decide to leave him in the cold, before leaving, search and take away the five bars of silver that were with him.
At this time, the younger Sun returned to his pottery on a night street, who was trying to earn some coins by correspondence. He stumbles upon a sleeping brother. Immediately understands that he was drinking with friends who simply abandoned him. He loads the eldest on his back and takes home. The brother’s wife located to him feeds him and promises to protect him from the attacks of her husband. Sun Rong regains consciousness, discovers the loss of money and immediately begins to blame Sun Junior, and then drives him out of the house, forcing him to stand on his knees. Brother almost freezes.
Tomorrow, my rogue friends, as if nothing had happened, are at Sun's house. They assure that they brought the drunken patron to the house and only then entrusted the care of his younger brother, who only had to do what to bring him into the house and put him to bed. Sun Rong believes them unconditionally.
His wife, Jan Meissyan, who tried in vain to bring the two crooks to clean water, is planning a cunning plan. She buys a dog from a neighbor, kills her, then pulls clothes on her, hats her hat and throws it at the back gate. Meanwhile, the trinity, again drunk properly, returns home. At the gates, Sun says goodbye to his friends. Those are leaving.The main gate is locked, and at the rear it bumps into a corpse. Having decided that he was killed, he rushes to his wife for advice. If the body is not secretly buried, the neighbors will certainly inform the council, and there they will begin to torture ...
The wife prompts you to seek help from faithful friends. As she suggests, those who find out what’s the matter are locked in fear in their homes. But Sun Jr. agrees, although after all the insults and beatings he could have refused. He takes away the corpse, wondering why it carries so much dog from the deceased. Sun Rong is subdued by the nobility of his brother. Sunya Jr. is instructed to keep an eye on the mortgage shop. Rookie friends, who realized that friendship is now apart and you can’t drink more wine for free, blackmail Sun Jun, accusing him of murder and demanding money for silence. He is ready to give in to the bastards, but the youngest dissuades him. He accepts the blame, is ready and before the court to justify himself from a bald accusation. However, the judge willingly believes the slanderers. The wife has to dig and bring to court the murdered dog. The villains are exposed. They are sentenced to ninety each with sticks. Sun Rong, thanks to the virtues of his wife, escapes punishment for harassing his younger brother, who is now appointed a county official.
