Chapter 390: Find the Reason
"Sister Jiaojiao, the women don't want to go out, what can I do? ”
Seeing that time was passing day by day, but the woman was still reluctant to work, Yu'er was anxious.
Sister Jiaojiao has wasted so much thought, isn't it going to be in vain?
Shen Jiaojiao also felt strange.
You must know that between people, strength is the last word.
If a woman can't make money, she has no status, and if she doesn't have status, she has to look at people's faces.
Are all the women in the world willing to eat according to people's faces?
She gave women the opportunity to go out and work, why wouldn't they?
Thinking about it, Shen Jiaojiao always felt strange, so she got up, "What can you come up with just staying in the palace behind closed doors?" ”
"Let's go out and ask them directly, won't we?"
That's it, Shen Jiaojiao took Yu'er, and the two of them walked out of the palace lightly, wandered around the street, and found a place to eat dumplings in the open air.
This dumpling stall is not a big place, but there are quite a lot of people.
Maybe it's because it's a market today, and many people are eating nearby, ready to eat and go shopping for a while before going home.
The person opposite Shen Jiaojiao who shared the table with her was a tall woman.
A slender person, very tender, not much older than Shen Jiaojiao.
She was carrying a little doll of four or five years old.
The doll was not very obedient, and sat on a chair squirming around to eat sugar gourds.
Shen Jiaojiao looked up, and it turned out that not far away, it was an old man who sold sugar gourds who came over, shouting as he walked, "Rock candy ~ gourd!" ”
But the children around me are hungry.
"Sugar gourd, eat...... Eat sugar gourds! The child opposite Shen Jiaojiao arched into his mother's arms, crying and wanting to eat sugar gourds, causing everyone to laugh at him.
The mother was forced to have no choice but to scold in a low voice, "You said you wanted to eat dumplings just now, and now you want to eat sugar gourds, do you think our family is rich?" ”
"Since you ordered dumplings, you are not allowed to eat sugar gourds!"
After speaking, seeing his son's aggrieved appearance, his heart softened, and he picked up the dumplings and sent them to his mouth, "Good, next time." ”
"Your father gave so much money, and my mother didn't have a penny left."
Before she finished speaking, a bright red sugar gourd was delivered to her, "Sister, the doll is very cute, I'll give him one." ”
"This, how can this work?" Looking at the sugar gourd in Shen Jiaojiao's hand, the woman waved her hand again and again.
Shen Jiaojiao directly stuffed the sugar gourd into the doll's hand, "Good, don't make a fuss." ”
The doll took it happily, and took a bite, sour and sweet.
Seeing her son so happy, the woman's heart softened, and she looked at Shen Jiaojiao, "Thank you, girl." ”
"Nothing." Shen Jiaojiao smiled kindly, "You live around here?" ”
"It's not close, my home is outside the city, and I came to the city to catch the market today." With a sugar gourd as a base, the woman's attitude towards Shen Jiaojiao is very kind.
Looking at Shen Jiaojiao's temperament and dress, the woman felt a little strange, "The girl is a noble person in the city, right?" ”
Shen Jiaojiao smiled, "Why do you ask that?" ”
"The things in the market here are cheap, and the poor people come all the way over, which one do you think is not dusty? How can it be as clean as a girl? ”
"Besides, looking at the girl's dress and temperament, she is not like a poor person like us."
Seeing that this woman was quite smart, Yu'er's eyes rolled and she came up with an excuse, "You guessed right, our young lady's family runs a weaving workshop, and the fabrics on this street are all woven by our young lady's family nine times out of ten." ”
Hearing Yu'er's high-profile voice, everyone couldn't help but turn their heads and look at Shen Jiaojiao carefully.
Seeing that she has a beautiful appearance and a dusty temperament, she really doesn't look like an ordinary woman.
"Yo, such a rich young lady, why did you come here to catch the market?"
"That's it, why would a rich man come here?"
"I don't think the girl bought anything, is there something else for the girl to come?"
Being asked by everyone, Shen Jiaojiao smiled slightly, "I'm here to find a worker." ”
"Looking for workers?" Hearing Shen Jiaojiao say that she was looking for workers, everyone stood up excitedly, "What workers?" ”
A strong man who was bored eating opened his mouth, "Girl, can you see if I can do it?" ”
As he spoke, he picked up his fist and slammed himself twice, "I'm very strong, I can move and lift, just eat more......"
Shen Jiaojiao shook her head, "I'm doing textiles here, and I need a woman with a clever mind." ”
"Big brother can go to the dock to try, with your strength, you won't have to worry anywhere."
"Woman?" Hearing that Shen Jiaojiao asked the woman to go out to work, everyone was excited and sat down again.
Seeing this scene, Shen Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows and looked at the woman opposite, "Sister, what's going on?" ”
"This martial woman is not short of money? Unwilling to work? ”
"Why is there no shortage of money?" The woman opposite was amused by Shen Jiaojiao's words, sighed, and told Shen Jiaojiao her thoughts.
"Girl, it would be nice if you could take your family's work home and do it, there must be many people willing to work for you."
Hearing the woman say this, Shen Jiaojiao understood what she meant.
It turned out that it was not that the women were unwilling to work, but that they were unwilling to go out.
If it is a small weaving workshop, they can take it home and do it, and they can save the main family two meals.
But this time it was different, these weaving workshops were too big and very demanding.
Letting the women work at home would add a lot of administrative costs, how could the businessmen be willing?
Merchants were profitable, and if the cost of moving the weaving mill back to Dawu was too great, then the merchants would only continue to open the weaving mill outside.
If you rent a house from another country, you will use a house from another country, and you will have to pay taxes to other countries.
In this way, it is other countries that make money, but it is Dawu citizens who spend money.
How did it go on like this?
So she tried to convince the woman in front of her, "Actually, there is no difference between working outside and working at home." ”
"Working outside, the head of the family still takes care of the food, doesn't the family save two meals?"
The woman shook her head, "A woman should be at home with her husband and children, how can she go out and show her face?" ”
"It's time for people to gossip."
"Just say it, your mouth grows on someone else." Shen Jiaojiao was puzzled by the fear of gossiping, "The money I earned is my own." ”
"It's a man's business to make money, what do women mix with?" The woman said, her voice quieter, "You don't know, the people in that village have poisonous mouths. ”
"Women stay home all day, and who knows what they have to say."
"Besides, if a woman goes out to make money, the man has no face, and people should say that the man has no ability and can't support his family."
"Besides, how much money can a woman make? I was half tired to death for the sake of the two jujubes, and I was poked in the back by my neighbors, which is not worth it. ”
As she spoke, she sighed and pointed to her child, "You see, this child can't be separated from people." ”
