Chapter 151 Women's Special Products Workshop (1)

Dazhu said to Guizhi with heartache:

"Young lady, you need to learn to cherish yourself! Why work so hard! Your father is here for you! I'll have the blacksmith make two pig cages later! One for you, and one for our family!"

"By the way, I'll ask if they sell any breeding boars! Guizhi! We should get one for our family, right?"

Guizhidao:

"Dad! We don't need to prepare any! When my sows give birth, we'll keep one and bring it back! A pig with a more distant bloodline will probably be easier to raise!"

"Father! Let Pan Qiang and his wife manage the plantation! They can just come back and hand over the accounts every afternoon! Or they can hand them over every few days! Anyway, the amount of money they make each day is about the same, so it's up to you!"

Let my second sister rest! In a couple of days, I'll take my eldest and second sisters to Huanghua Village for a couple of days! We'll also go shopping there and have Wanrou help them pick out a couple of sets of jewelry!

"I don't need it! I'm still too young! Let's buy some fine cotton cloth and cotton, and have Chunlan make me a new outfit for the New Year! This is indeed a bit short!"

Guizhi stretched out her sleeve, measured it, and revealed half of her forearm, smiling wryly:

"Dad! I've grown too fast! Hahaha!"

Dazhu took out the thousand-tael silver note from his pocket and handed it to Guizhi, frowning as he said:

"Keep these banknotes in your room, keep them safe! Your mother and the others don't know! From now on, Chunlan will be in charge of your clothing! She'll make clothes for you all year round!"

Guizhi naturally took the silver note, put it in her bosom, but shook her head and said:

"Father! Chunlan still has to cook for our whole family, so don't make things too special for her! I'll have Jixiang and Ruyi learn from her, and then they can be in charge! Don't worry, Father! Someone will make clothes for your daughter, so she won't get cold! Hehehe!"

Gui Xiang's period is over, and she can finally go out with Gui Hong and Gui Zhi in the clean and comfortable days!

The three sisters went to say goodbye to Madam Li, who said sourly:

"Guizhi! Why did you only take your two older sisters to play? You didn't even take your mother and your fourth sister!"

Gui Zhi chuckled and said:

“Mother! I’ll take my eldest and second eldest sisters to see if there are any suitable jobs for them! Mother is the head of the household, what will happen to this family if you leave?”

We'll be back in two days!

Dazhu said to Guizhi:

"I've bought the boar! The pig cage is ready, and I've had Pan Sen deliver it to Huanghua Village for you! You can stay there for a couple of days!"

Wanrou gave Guizhi a pleasant surprise! She made her a coral-red silk jacket embroidered with lotus flowers!

"Guizhi! I noticed your clothes were too small the last two times you came! So I made one for you, just waiting for you to come back! Try it on and see if it fits!"

The little girl is growing, so I made sure to lengthen it a bit!

Guizhi loved it; the lining was soft, fine cotton! Wanrou thoughtfully helped Guizhi put it on, and the new clothes fit Guizhi perfectly! They made Guizhi look elegant and graceful, even more radiant!

Gui Xiang and Gui Hong both praised it in unison! Gui Hong exclaimed:

"Third Sister, your clothes are beautiful! You look even more beautiful in them! You're more beautiful than any flower!"

Gui Xiang also looked around:

"Third Sister, this dress suits you perfectly, it looks very elegant! The color is also wonderful! It makes your fair skin look even more beautiful and charming!"

Guizhi laughed happily.

"Wow! Thank you, Wanrou! My dad was saying a couple of days ago that he'd have someone make me new clothes! I have new clothes to wear today! That's great!"

Wanrou still had a gentle smile on her face.

"As long as Guizhi likes it, that's fine! As long as you don't mind that my cooking isn't very good, I'll make it for you again in the future!"

Guizhi reveals the child's mischievous side:

"Then I won't take it off! I'll wear it today! That one is indeed a bit short!"

"No need to take it off! It's so cold, you need to wear warm clothes!"

Wanrou folded up Guizhi's old clothes before speaking.

Guizhi then realized she hadn't introduced the two of them yet, and hurriedly said:

"Wanrou! These are my eldest sister Guixiang and my second sister Guihong!"

Wanrou knelt down and bowed:

"Young Miss! Second Young Miss!"

Guizhi helped Wanrou up and said:

"Don't call them 'Miss'! Just call them Guixiang and Guihong! Wanrou is pregnant! We have to be careful!"

Gui Xiang and Gui Zhi followed Wan Rou's example and bowed deeply to her.

Gui Xiang followed suit:

"Wanrou! Wait a minute! Guizhi! Isn't she Uncle Xu Hong's wife? You should call her Aunt Xu!"

Gui Xiang realized she had called him by the wrong name. She quickly looked at Gui Zhi.

Guizhi chuckled and said:

"Wanrou! Do you want us to call you Aunt Xu? Calling you 'sister' would be more appropriate! You're making Wanrou sound old! Haha!"

Wanrou smiled, looked at Guixiang and Guihong, and said:

"Let's each keep to our own names! It's fine to just call each other by our names! I don't want you guys calling me old!"

Guizhi solemnly said:

"Wanrou! I brought them here specifically to see you! We grew up in the village and know nothing about the outside world! We're just curious! Talk to them about it when you have time!"

Guizhi then added:

"There's something else! I've been thinking that there are too few women and too many men here! That's not a good thing! The men definitely need to find wives!"

People say three women make a drama! If there are too many women and no work to do, there will be a lot of gossip! Why don't we find some jobs for the women that they can earn money?

Gui Xiang and Gui Hong were intrigued. Gui Hong asked:

"Third Sister! Lead them to make some food? How many people are there here?"

Guizhi shook her head and said:

"Second sister! We can't just focus on food! There are too many people! We have over a hundred men here, and if they all get married, there will be over a hundred women! And if they have children, there will be hundreds of people! Wow! Our village will really be huge in the future!"

I'm thinking of starting a workshop for women's products first! Then I'll open a shop in the county or prefectural city, specializing in women's underwear, pajamas, and menstrual belts!

"Then put up a sign outside that says 'Men Not Allowed!'"

Several people were stunned by Guizhi's bold idea.

Gui Xiang then thought of something and asked:

"Third Sister! Is it because I'm on my period that you want to do this?"

Guizhi nodded and said:

"Yes, eldest sister!"

Wanrou! I've always thought that men can earn money by doing manual labor in the fields and mountains! We women should be able to earn money no matter what we do! If our village wants to shed its reputation as a bachelor village and attract more women to come here, we definitely need a name!

My older sister just got her period, and it suddenly occurred to me that we should make women's products. Women's clothes are already made by tailors! So let's make women's intimate items like menstrual belts, underwear, and beautiful, comfortable pajamas!

Gui Hong was the first to agree:

"Third Sister! I support you! I'll come and do it with you then. When you open your shop, I'll help you sell the goods!"

Wanrou looked at Guihong in surprise and asked:

"Gui Hong, you're going to sell goods? Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you? What if you can't sell them?"
