Synopsis

Bibik Yin Tee (the Matriarch) lives with her businessman husband (Koon Tow Yew), two sons, two daughters-in-law, daughter and a servant in an ancestral home.

Younger son (Bah Chik) is married to Bong Soo from the orphanage. She seems unable to get along with Choo Neo (Bah Seng's wife) who comes from an affluent family. After a heated argument one day, the two ladies persuade their husbands to leave the home. This upsets Bibik and Mr. Koon very much as they prefer a closely knit family.

On Chinese New Year's day, when the two brothers and their wives visit their parents, Bibik Chow Gay and Bibik Jantok, acting as peace-makers, persuade the two daughters-in-law to reconcile and "Let Bygones Be Bygones".

The story ends on a happy note and reflects on how the Peranakans celebrate the occasion in true regal fashion with the singing of Dondang Sayang.
