Xie Zhinuan didn't know what the old Yuan head was thinking; anyway, she felt somewhat distressed.
Because of the old Yuan head's life-saving grace, she didn't hold back anything when she went to the county town to teach cooking. She even gave away several cooking recipes, earnestly instructing the chefs, who weren't ungrateful people either. Otherwise, they wouldn't have pooled money to buy her a silver bracelet.
But she never expected that when it came to betraying her, they did so effortlessly, without even asking her.
Just because they had bestowed a life-saving favor on her, did it give them the right to squander her gratitude so recklessly? What disappointed her most was the attitude of the old Yuan head and Lao Ni's.
During the days they spent together, she considered herself to have acted with nothing but filial piety, obedience, and understanding. She cooked, cleaned the courtyard, washed clothes, and raised chickens, and she did it all well without needing to be asked.
