The female apprentices politely informed them at first, but saw that the group of men were still shouting, their eyes red, and they looked ready to rush forward and rob at any time:

"Since we are distributing porridge and food, we should treat everyone equally. Why should only women have porridge?"

"Get out of my way. I have to give you the food today, whether you want to or not. Call your shopkeeper out. What's the logic behind this?"

"Just because you are women, do you have to treat women better?"

The female apprentice standing in front was not intimidated at all and sneered, "Yes, it's because we are women that we only give women extra preferential treatment."

"There's nothing I can do if you don't accept it."

This seems to make sense. No one says that everyone must be treated equally when giving out porridge.

But since ancient times, everyone has been treated equally. In fact, most of the time, food would eventually fall into the hands of strong men, or be given to their sons or husbands under moral coercion. There was no reason to provide porridge specifically for women.

Someone said angrily:

“I’ve never heard of any discrimination.”

"Since you are distributing porridge, you must treat everyone equally. Otherwise, if the government knew that you were distributing disaster relief in this way, you would probably be beheaded."

After a pause, the man said sinisterly, "Even if it's disaster relief among the people, there are rules. You're breaking the rules."

The female apprentice responded: "This is purely a private charity and we have no cooperation with the government."

"For charity relief, the requirement is that the chopsticks can float on the surface of the porridge."

"Our charity is legal and compliant. You can see rice grains in the porridge, which means it's not adulterated."

"Even if you go to the authorities to report us, we haven't violated any taboos."

"The government also provides disaster relief every day. You can go and line up to receive it. Don't think we don't know that you often steal food from the weak, especially women and children. Many of them have had their food taken away by you."

"Even if you marry and have children, the first thing you ask is for your wife to contribute her share, and it's even more so for girls. You have to provide everything for yourselves."

"We just wanted to give those who were robbed a bite to eat so that they wouldn't starve to death. What's wrong with that?"

"Don't you want to make this a big deal and let the government know about your actions?"

"Do you have the nerve to compete with them openly?"

The female apprentice conveyed the words Chen Wei taught her word for word.

Sure enough, as soon as these words were spoken, they frightened the men who were making trouble.

Because these people know they are in the wrong.

yes.

When the whole family fled famine, the mother-in-law and father-in-law would only exploit their daughters-in-law and granddaughters, forcing them to take out all their food and give it to their husbands, sons or even nephews.

Those orphans and widows are not much stronger. If they cannot protect themselves, they will be robbed.

But they were unwilling to give up. They stared at the porridge stall with hungry eyes. Looking at the sticky and steaming rice porridge, they swallowed hard.

Seeing the apprentices holding sticks and sharp weapons in their hands, they had no choice but to leave in shame.

But they didn't go far, watching unwillingly from a distance.

Seeing that everyone finished their porridge before leaving, they cursed in their hearts, thinking that the person who could come up with this idea was simply too cunning.

About a hundred people gathered together, and they once again wanted to cause trouble. Before the two sides could start fighting, the government quickly arrived and took control of the situation.
