Chapter 653 The greatest heroes are those who serve their country and its people!
"Actually, because of my personal relationship with Qian's wife and Gao's sister-in-law, they had donated money to the Women's Assistance Association earlier, and they were also the first members to join this women's club."
This women's club focuses on providing health care, beauty and body shaping services for women.
This club is members-only, or you could say, invitation-only.
Seeing that Guo Wuniang and Aunt Guo were very interested in this, Li Sanniang explained it to them in detail.
"Currently, only my two disciples and I are providing services to members at the club. If the number of people increases in the future, we will naturally need to hire more people."
Of course, this person should have been trained beforehand.
Furthermore, because this place is relatively private, there can only be a maximum of 100 people in Chang'an City. People with more than 100 people are not within our service scope; we would need to open at least a branch.
This service offers different benefits depending on the member's level.
The basics include a regular bi-weekly pulse check and a monthly tea party for members;
Among these services, personalized options will be created based on each member's individual physical condition.
For example, for women like Wu Niangzi who are pregnant for the first time, in addition to regular prenatal checkups, we will also tell you some maintenance secrets and provide a series of services for your body recovery during pregnancy and after a safe delivery, which I will not go into detail here.
As for women like Aunt Guo, the focus is on skin and hair care, and they also receive massages to relax their bodies and bring them to their best condition.
Of course, postpartum recovery services are also available if needed. For example, as I mentioned before, they address issues like urinary incontinence, lower back and abdominal pain, and gynecological problems caused by early pregnancy and childbirth.
Guo Wu Niang hadn't shown any particular interest yet, but now Guo Shu Mu was much more interested.
"Just hearing what Third Sister said made me think it was a good place to go."
"Third Sister, now that Fifth Sister and I have both donated money, are we allowed to enter this women's brothel?"
Li San Niang smiled at Aunt Guo and nodded: "Of course."
If Fifth Sister and Aunt Guo are interested in joining, I'll have someone send them membership cards later.
Since Li San Niang had said so, Guo Wu Niang and Aunt Guo naturally agreed, and the three of them sat around the round table chatting happily.
The more Aunt Guo listened to Li San Niang speak, the more she felt that Li San Niang was truly an extraordinary woman, not only because Li San Niang was the first female physician in Chang'an City, nor because of Li San Niang's medical skills.
Of course, Aunt Guo admired female doctors like Li San Niang, but these were not the points that Aunt Guo thought made Li San Niang so remarkable.
When Guo Wu Niang sought treatment from Li San Niang last year, Guo's aunt had someone thoroughly investigate Li San Niang's background. At the time, Guo's aunt only thought that Li San Niang was a gifted female doctor with great talent in medicine.
In every profession, there are always outstanding individuals. It's not surprising that a woman like Li San Niang would emerge from the male-dominated medical field.
Now, after having an in-depth conversation with Li San Niang, Aunt Guo no longer simply thought of Li San Niang as a young female doctor.
Through Li San Niang's account of various events, Aunt Guo discovered that Li San Niang held herself in a very high position. This position did not refer to Li San Niang's manners towards others, but rather that Li San Niang positioned herself as someone with great abilities.
Actually, when Li San Niang told the two of them the truth before, "It was because I needed money to support the Women's Aid Association that I opened the Women's Club," Aunt Guo already felt that Li San Niang was exceptionally sincere.
"Third Sister, you have already surpassed ordinary people by standing in the position of a female doctor and doing so much for women all over the world."
Although I don't understand the principles taught in those books for men, after hearing what you said today, I truly admire you.
In place of wine, I offer this cup to Third Sister.
"aunt?"
Guo Wuniang was still a little dazed when she saw Li Sanniang take the teacup from Guo's aunt, and the two of them faced each other and drank the tea in one gulp.
Everything is understood without words.
For the first time, Li San Niang felt a spiritual support from someone other than her mother and sister-in-law, which stirred up a lot of emotions within her.
After chatting for a few more minutes, Li San Niang noticed that the snow outside had stopped, so she quickly got up to say goodbye.
Before leaving the Guo family, Aunt Guo had prepared a lot of return gifts for Li San Niang. Li San Niang originally wanted to decline, but seeing the refusal in Aunt Guo's eyes, she had no choice but to bow and return to the Li family with the cart full of gifts.
After Li San Niang left, Guo Wu Niang looked at her aunt with a puzzled expression and asked, "Aunt, what was that all about?"
Why is Aunt suddenly so respectful to Third Sister?
Could it be because Third Sister agreed to let us into that women's club?
Aunt Guo nodded to the old woman beside her, who then waved her hand, and the maidservant serving in the side hall curtsied and left.
It's natural to teach children without servants or attendants around, as the master still needs to maintain appearances.
Aunt Guo took Guo Wu Niang's hand and patted it gently twice. "You child, you've grown up in a family like ours since you were little. You don't know how hard it is for girls from ordinary families to survive."
Look at you, you were able to divorce the Jiang family back then because of the power of your uncle and brother.
Otherwise, do you think that old woman from the Jiang family would agree to your divorce?
She might even try to pin the blame for your infertility on you.
If a woman from a family like yours can suffer such hardship, imagine how much more difficult it must be for women from ordinary families!
Having been pampered since childhood, Guo Wuniang, who never lacked money, would never have thought about these issues.
Aunt Guo, seeing Guo Wu Niang's blank expression, continued to explain to her: "For girls of our background, relying on their fathers and brothers, marrying into a good family, giving birth to sons, and continuing the family line is the greatest achievement."
It just goes to show that before marriage, you listen to your father and brothers; after marriage, you listen to your husband; and if your husband is gone, then you listen to your son.
This is all there is to life.
But look at Li San Niangzi; what she's doing is far more than what you see on the surface.
Guided by her thoughts, Guo Wuniang followed her aunt's words: "Li Sanniangzi became a female doctor by relying on her own skills, established a women's assistance association to help ordinary women, and also taught women who wanted to become midwives free of charge, thus becoming a female teacher."
As Guo Wuniang spoke, her eyes widened even more. "Aunt, and there's also that women's club that Li Sanniangzi just explained to us."
"Aunt, Third Sister has really done so much!" Guo Wu Niang exclaimed after recounting all of these things.
"Fifth Sister, think carefully about what Li San Niangzi has done. Look at what she has done. Isn't it a complete net that brings together all the women from top to bottom?"
