At the family separation banquet, the father gave the Su Family Restaurant and ten branch stores all to his younger brother. Su Nian applauded in approval, turning around to hand in a resignation letter. Having managed accounts and worked the ladle for fifteen years, she received nothing at all—except for the true skill of her grandfather's old pot of broth. A small street-side shop named "Mountain Outer Restaurant" opened, and a single bowl of noodles turned the whole city upside down; while the Su Family, having lost its pillar, saw their broth change its flavor day by day. The father bowed his head, the younger brother fell into ruin, and the younger brother's wife embezzled funds, with the family coming to her door in turn. She had saved the Su Family spoonful by spoonful, yet what she demanded by not yielding an inch was not the store, but the sentence she had waited fifteen years to hear: "The Su Family was propped up by you."
