She uses her extraordinary cooking skills to earn enough money to build a beautiful brick house;
She wins the admiration of the manager of a state-run restaurant and becomes its celebrated head chef;
She earns the local government's support and opens the whole town's first private restaurant.
Years later, Su Nuannuan's former family still hasn't seen her fall on hard times and beg them to take her in.
Instead, they beat their chests and lament that they split from Su Nuannuan, missing out on the glory of sharing the life of a nationally renowned culinary goddess.
The cousin they favored, meanwhile, has become selfish and self-centered, fighting with them every day until they're at each other's throats. They can hardly put their suffering into words.

People used to say that a man willing to marry a disheveled girl as lazy and ugly as Su Nuannuan was a blessing from her ancestors.
Yet she had the nerve to dream of someone out of her league, falling for Leng Yan, the village's youngest and most promising village party secretary. Everyone laughed at her for it.
But after Su Nuannuan becomes a culinary goddess adored by everyone, there are so many men eager to marry her that the line stretches as far as the eye can see.
Everyone changes their tune, saying that whoever marries Su Nuannuan will have ancestors whose graves are sending up smoke.
Nobody says she's not good enough for Leng Yan anymore.
Then everyone sees Leng Yan, who's so busy he can barely find time to eat, making time to visit the cemetery every day.
Leng Yan: "I'm just checking whether smoke is rising from my family's ancestral graves."
