Nanny Xiulan stewed meat at her own expense during her break, and was unreasonably docked wages by her employer Xu Man. Xiulan resigned after calculating extra labor remuneration according to the housekeeping contract, and gained a cooperation opportunity thanks to her chili sauce-making skills. Xu Man met consecutive setbacks, triggered family troubles due to wrongful hiring, and maliciously retaliated against Xiulan. Xiulan kept complete evidence, dealt with the crisis calmly, and successfully opened a home-style restaurant. She stuck to her bottom line, respected the value of laborers, treated others generously and moderately, and lived out the dignity of a laborer relying on her own craftsmanship and wisdom.
