The villagers with a deeper mind understood the Village Chief's intentions and no longer held any dissatisfaction with his action. But those who were petty-minded but foolish were unhappy.
During the distribution of the offerings, they would still make some sour remarks. Although they were reprimanded by the village elders, it didn't lessen their jealousy. Instead, it made them more unhappy with Yao Zhi.
When Wang Shen saw this, she pulled Yao Zhi to the side and explained to her the meaning of the first bowl.
Yao Zhi was surprised by this and said, "Aunt Wang, I didn't know. If I knew, I wouldn't dare to accept it."
Wang Shen patted her hand and sighed. "I know you didn't have any intention and were tricked by the Village Chief. But since you already accepted it, there is no point in returning it."
"In the future, you should be more careful in your conduct. You might have a good intention by helping others, but not everyone is grateful."
