Chapter 734 Young General vs. Rich Lady 37
Meixiang suppressed her shyness and began to distribute sanitary napkins to the female workers. She knew that some of the female workers had their periods, so she distributed them to them first and gave them more.
An old woman covered her grandson's ears and eyes, and she only regretted that she didn't have four hands so that she could cover them more tightly.
She pulled her grandson to the side and said angrily, "Shuanzi, don't listen to this. It pollutes your ears and brings bad luck!"
"These women are filthy, so they shouldn't leave the house, lest others get tainted with bad luck! My Shuanzi has been the only son in three generations, so don't let these people mess with him. If anything happens, it's all because of them!"
"I don't know what Madam Gao was thinking. She said these inexplicable words and let the children listen to them. She is really shameless! It's okay if it's just a little girl, but if she brought her son and grandson with her, it would be really unlucky!"
Traditional ideas are deeply rooted, and these words have aroused the agreement of many people, but they dare not say it out loud.
Gao Shurou had anticipated such a situation long ago. She did her best to spread knowledge. Some women listened and took better care of themselves from then on. Some did not care and only thought about getting some benefits. Some others just opposed blindly and were blinded by ignorance and could not tell right from wrong.
Gao Shurou said coldly, "You are women too, why do you want to belittle women? The gods said that education should start from childhood. Not only girls, but boys should also know these basic common sense, so that they can understand the hard work of their mothers and sisters instead of avoiding and hating them."
"Today is the first time. I will talk more about this in the future. If you have any objections, you don't have to come again tomorrow. There are many people in Pingyang who want to work in the garment factory. We don't need one or two more."
No one wants to leave the garment factory. Although it is forced labor, there is food and drink, and fabrics can be earned, which is better than working as a laborer. They all have to pass the assessment before they can come in to work. Only a fool would give up this opportunity.
Gao Shurou flipped through the work record book, found the ten best performing female workers, and instructed: "Meixiang, give each of them a bottle of shower gel, a bottle of shampoo, a bag of laundry detergent, and a bottle of moisturizing lotion. These are the gods' preference for women. You must remember the gods' gifts, work hard, and don't slack off."
There is still plenty of water available nowadays. As long as you are diligent in fetching water from the street corner, simple washing should not be a problem.
Meixiang brought a basin of water. Gao Shurou reached out to call Erya over, squeezed out some shower gel, and washed her hands and face.
"Just a little bit will create rich foam, and it can clean even the dirtiest face. Erya, don't be embarrassed. Your mother has gone to join the army, and you are doing better than adults at such a young age. You deserve these rewards."
The weather in Pingyang City was dry, and Erya's face was already cracked. She was extremely dirty after working all day, but after washing with shower gel, it was indeed very clean.
Gao Shurou squeezed out the lotion and applied it on Erya's face. The dry skin was moisturized and it felt stinging. Erya touched her face and said in surprise, "It's really much smoother! It's not as dry anymore. It was a little painful just now, but now it feels moist and comfortable, as if I had drunk enough water."
"My mother's hands and feet are all cracked. I want to keep them for her. She is training even harder in the military camp."
Gao Shurou gave Erya another bottle of lotion and said, "You are a good and filial child. This bottle is for your mother."
Everyone was jealous. Every girl loved to be coquettish, and they also wanted to use the good things bestowed by the gods.
Gao Shurou planned to give these out as rewards. People are lazy, and she also wanted to manage these female workers and let them make more clothes.
"As long as we do well, everyone can receive the blessing of God. That's all for today, everyone can go home."
Meixiang helped the lady take a bath, using the shower gel given by the gods, and also washed her hair with shampoo. After the bath, the lady's body exuded a faint fragrance that was particularly pleasant to the touch.
There was a small charcoal brazier burning in the room. Meixiang knew that the lady had a cold body and must dry her hair before going to bed. She carefully separated the lady's long hair and dried it bit by bit, saying worriedly:
"Mei Xiang really doesn't understand. Even if Madam wants to show some favor, she can just give it secretly. Why must she say those words? I am scared just by hearing them. If the news gets out, how will Madam deal with it in the future? Will the prince be angry?"
Gao Shurou dipped her hands in lotion, rubbed it on Meixiang's face, and applied it carefully.
"It will definitely get out. I hope the more people know about it, the better. I just want all women in the world to know that it is not filthy, but just a normal physiological phenomenon."
"I don't know if the prince will be angry, but I'm not afraid! What I said is right. The gods are especially compassionate to women, and the gods will protect me."
The master and servant slept in each other's arms. Gao Shurou trusted Meixiang the most, so she quietly took out her cell phone, and the two of them huddled in the quilt to watch the video again.
Mei Xiang said softly: "I also think Madam is right. I will accompany Madam from now on."
There were some rumors in the city, and Yan Changfeng was very angry. He called the guards together and arrested a few lazy men who were idle and talking about the Crown Prince's wife, and threw them directly into the military camp to do hard labor.
"You have hands and feet, but you only know how to collect relief porridge. You also rob the women in your family of their food rations. You even rob women's things!"
"That was given by the gods to women. The gods have pity on women, but you snatched it and used it to make clothes. There are also those who privately traded the cotton. I will investigate and punish each of you. I will not tolerate it!"
"Since you are unwilling to join the army, I will help you and send you all to do hard labor! You scums have no right to comment on the Crown Prince's wife. If I hear these words again, I will cut off the tongues of every one of you and feed them to the dogs!"
Yan Changfeng acted tyrannically for once, and no one dared to say that the Crown Prince's wife was wrong.
All women knew that the Crown Prince's wife distributed sanitary napkins. Even if they were not working women, they could get free sanitary napkins by asking the Crown Prince's wife for help.
If they have some unspeakable secrets, the Crown Prince's wife will give them medicine for recuperation, which are all bestowed by the gods.
Since ancient times, gods have blessed men to achieve success and to have good weather. Women prayed to gods mostly for children and family safety, and rarely considered themselves. This was the first time that gods specifically protected women, and the women in the city became more pious.
They spontaneously went to the goddess temple to work, carrying soil to pave roads, laying bricks and building walls, and their work was no slower than the men who were doing forced labor.
Ji Yunhuan saw that the merit value above the bronze mirror was rising rapidly. In addition to the improvement in material conditions, the people of Pingyang City respected her more, and her merit value would also increase faster.
Manager Xu called and said that the approval for the rainfall had been obtained, and the next step was to purchase anti-aircraft guns and shells.
This was good news. Ji Yunhuan was in a good mood and gave Manager Xu another bonus of 10,000 yuan.
