Shen Wenxiu is the most talented and skilled cook among Shen Yunfei's children.

Even her eldest sister, who was also required by her parents to stay home to cook, couldn't match Shen Wenxiu's culinary skills.

But her excellent cooking skills weren't taught by her father; she figured them out on her own.

Of course, Shen Wenxiu also knew that her culinary talent was mostly inherited from her father.

But that doesn't mean she owes all her culinary skills to her father.

“Dad, when I was little, I asked you to teach me how to cook, but you said that as a girl, I shouldn’t learn the Shen family’s recipes.”

“From childhood to adulthood, I have told you many times that I want to learn cooking from you, but you always say that I am a girl and cannot learn it.”

"The Shen family's culinary skills are passed down only to sons? Look at your three sons, which one of them is cut out to be a chef?"

Shen Wenxiu questioned her father.

Neither her eldest brother nor her younger brother were cut out to be cooks.

While they wouldn't be kitchen killers who could burn down the kitchen while cooking, the food they make isn't very tasty, and their skill level is just average.

For a chef as skilled as Shen Yunfei, if his son's cooking is barely edible, it means he has no one to carry on his legacy.

Even so, Shen Yunfei never thought of letting his daughter learn cooking skills, inherit the Shen family's recipes, or inherit his own skills.

"You'd rather take on apprentices and teach them cooking skills than teach me... And you even said that my cooking skills are so good because of you?"

"You also said that it's all because of you that I'm able to earn money by making bread like this now, and that I should give you the money I earn from making bread?"

Shen Wenxiu couldn't help but vent her past resentment.

The mother's favoritism towards her younger brother and neglect of her; the father's favoritism towards his son and neglect of his daughter.

Shen Wenxiu wanted to vent her frustrations and get an answer.

Why?

She is clearly their biological child, so why?

Just because she's a daughter, does that mean she doesn't receive her parents' favoritism?

Shen Yunfei frowned. "How can you talk like that?"

"Although I didn't teach you cooking skills, you've been cooking at home since you were little, so you've learned them, haven't you?"

“If it weren’t for me, where would you have all this talent? You are my daughter, so of course your talent comes from me.”

"So now you want to distance yourself? What? You don't want to acknowledge me as your father anymore?"

So what if he didn't teach his daughter how to cook?

He didn't forbid her from going into the kitchen. Her talents were inherited from him. What's wrong with him, as her father, saying something?

"Your mother and I raised you with great difficulty, and now that you're capable and successful, you want to sever all ties?"

Seeing her father's dismissive attitude, Shen Wenxiu took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.

She sat down, trying to calm herself, and said calmly, "They say a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup, and I'm already married."

"What? Do I need to take care of you two in your old age like my son?"

"If I also need to take care of you in your old age, then shouldn't I also get a share of the family property when the family is divided?"

"Furthermore, if I need to support you in your old age, shouldn't I also receive a share of the money and gifts you give to your elder and younger brothers?"

Although Shen Wenxiu tried to calm herself down, she couldn't help but feel resentful as she talked.

Why should she not receive so many benefits? She has to pay for old age care and filial piety.
