Ng Siu Kei lived with his family in 5th Lane when he was small while his grandfather and his fourth wife lived in 4th Lane. Ng Siu Kei’s eldest aunt served various Westerners in Whampoa Dock as an amah. When she and a few other domestics pooled some money to buy ‘Cash Sweep’ tickets, they were amazed to win third prize! She subsequently used her portion of the prize money to buy three houses. Two of them were in 5th Lane while the remaining one was Ng Siu Kei’s grandfather’s residence in 4th Lane. The owners of all three houses were Ng Siu Kei’s eldest aunt and father, each of who held a 50% share. After Ng Siu Kei’s father passed away, his father’s good friend Lee Foo took Ng Siu Kei and his three brothers to a firm of solicitors to handle the change of name formalities and transfer the ownership of his father’s houses over to them. Ng Siu Kei’s eldest aunt also eventually transferred her own property to the four nephews in view of her old age. And so it was that Ng Siu Kei and his three brothers came to co-own the title deeds to all three houses.
