It is an indisputable fact that women in the Lotus Brigade earn more than men.
Food factories need more female employees and fewer male positions, so in almost every household, women work in the factory while men go to the fields to earn work points.
Based on this calculation, the wages earned in the factory over a year are more than the money earned from work points.
Moreover, the factory frequently provides welfare benefits, including food and daily necessities, which can be subsidized for families.
In terms of contributions to the family, specifically within the Lianhua Brigade, women make up the majority.
They were just used to being dominated by men and didn't even realize what was happening.
Lin Yu took this opportunity to instill his ideas in them.
"We women are no less capable than men, so why is it only men who can accomplish great things?"
"Like Xiaoju, she's better than many men. She handles everything that happens in the shop very well, and Song Zhiqing admires her a lot."
Baogen's mother felt that these words were directed at her, and unable to refute them, she could only lower her head and remain silent.
She just wanted to help her son become the store manager, but she never expected it to end like this.
Not only did they fail, but they also got a scolding from Director Lin.
Baogen's mother felt a little ashamed, thinking that she had just said that women couldn't do great things, and now she felt sorry for herself.
Hasn't she done enough work and earned enough money?
But why does she think that only men can accomplish great things?
Sigh, it seems I might have been wrong.
Most of the women in the audience were so shocked by Lin Yu's words that their eyes sparkled. They never imagined that they were actually no less capable than men.
They are women, but they can also be leaders, and they earn just as much money as men.
Then they should stand tall and be respectable.
After the meeting, the women returned home and felt a different atmosphere.
Faced with their husbands' criticism, they now dare to say, "You think the food is bad? Then don't eat it and get out."
"If I'm cleaning while you're sitting there drinking, then nobody should do the work."
"You don't like your daughter and want a son? Then go have your own son. I only want my daughter."
Women are beginning to realize that they are not useless, and may even be making greater contributions than men.
They were unwilling to be inferior to men anymore.
Director Lin is right. Whether it's in the factory, the specialty store, or even their homes, men and women should work together.
From that time on, the men of Lianhua Brigade, whether voluntarily or forced, began to do housework.
Women will no longer insist on washing items like difficult-to-wash bedding and shoes themselves.
Men are stronger; they can scrub and wring it dry much faster than women can do it themselves.
Some women even lamented, "Why didn't I think of that before? It's best for men to do the washing; they're strong and they can wash things thoroughly."
Their men were brimming with confidence, unaware that from that day on, they embarked on a one-way street of doing housework.
After trying to delegate some of the housework, women began to experience what an easy life was like.
No wonder men have so much time to smoke, play cards, and drink every day; they're just too idle.
"We earn just as much as they do, so why should we be the ones doing all the housework?"
"I had no idea what kind of life I was living before.
......
Seeing the changes in the Lotus Brigade, Ou Manqing felt very relieved.
“They weren’t very united, saying that women can’t be store managers? Well, now that you’ve united the women, they won’t be able to escape from now on.”
Lin Yu smiled innocently: "I'm just stating the facts and reasoning. I can't control what they do."
Ou Manqing nodded at her: "Keep pretending."
She was clearly using Baogen's mother's dissatisfaction as an excuse to teach the men and women of Lianhua Brigade a lesson.
They also presented the facts to make women realize that their status had changed and they no longer needed to swallow their anger.
Once they realize their own limitations, they will no longer go out of their way to serve men.
It's time for men to be taught a lesson.
Their fear of Lin Yu deepened considerably.
With just a few words, she made it impossible for the men to have a peaceful day at home ever again.
Women are terrifying.
In short, the appointment of a store manager for the franchise store served as a lesson for the people of the Lianhua Brigade.
From then on, they all understood that in front of Lin Yu, there was no need to talk about kinship or gender.
She only looks at ability and performance.
Anyone who wants an opportunity must work hard to prove themselves.
After this incident, the people of the Lotus Brigade dared not utter any more words that belittled girls, for fear of being reprimanded by Lin Yu at a general meeting.
But what they were really thinking, I don't know.
Lin Yu doesn't expect to change everyone's mind overnight, but she wants to instill the concept of gender equality in them little by little.
Perhaps over time, they will change some things.

Another half month passed, and the mooncakes produced by Qingshan Food Factory were officially completed.
The gift boxes designed by Song Meili have been sent to the cardboard box factory for production.
The final packaging process requires a large workforce, and the entire factory has been working overtime for a week straight.
The workers worked in shifts, and some who did not live in the brigade would even stay overnight at the homes of their colleagues in the Lianhua brigade.
Da Niu and Song Meili returned from the provincial capital together while they were working together.
Song Meili only had time to tell Lin Yu: "Everything is going smoothly at the specialty store."
So he rolled up his sleeves and went off to get off work.
Seeing that everyone in her family was busy with work at the factory, Da Niu took the initiative to take over the housework.
Every day, she would also go to the factory canteen to help Wang Zhaodi cook for the workers.
During overtime work, Lin Yu took the initiative to allocate funds to the canteen to ensure that workers could eat meat every day.
Sometimes it's pork, sometimes it's chicken or duck.
To this end, the food factory also purchased chickens and ducks from surrounding brigades.
The workers were willing to work overtime, even though the workload was less than that during the busy farming season.
But they get paid for working overtime, and they can eat meat every day.
It's more than ten times better than what I eat at home.
What else is there to complain about?
Da Niu works at a machinery factory in the provincial capital. Because she does publicity work and has to write articles regularly, she has developed the habit of observing the people around her.
During the two days she helped out in the canteen, she saw a different spirit from that of the workers in the provincial capital.
The way these people dressed and spoke was just like the style of her familiar fellow villagers.
But the passion on their faces and their satisfaction with life deeply moved her.
Even after returning to the provincial capital from her holiday, she still couldn't forget the feeling of being touched.
Therefore, the girl currently has no roommates in her dormitory room.
The lights stayed on for most of the night without stopping.
When dawn broke, Da Niu looked at the article she had written and was filled with excitement.
