"Yingying, it's hard for you to rest for two days. Don't wash the bowls and let Cuicui wash them. Have a good rest!" Wang's eldest daughter said as she collected the bowls.
"That's right, sister, you go and have a rest, I'll wash it." Cuicui took the bowl from her sister very sensibly.
Mrs. Zhuang curled her lips and said, "It's just washing dishes, how can I be so tiring? She usually works in the shop, so she doesn't have access to such household chores. If she doesn't do it for a long time, she has to forget everything. She is married.
You will be called lazy by your mother-in-law."
She couldn't see her son and daughter-in-law, just because Yingying could make money by doing things in the city, she supported this girl.
Pu Yingying said with a smile: "How can we forget the big things we have done since childhood! And as long as this woman is strong-willed and can make money, even if she doesn't do these household chores, she won't be scolded by her mother-in-law."
"Mom." Pu Yingying looked at her mother and called, "Do you still remember Sister Liu Ying you saw when you went to our shop last time?"
"Remember, is she already married?" Wang asked. The last time she went to the shop, she heard that she was getting married.
"Yeah, yeah." Pu Yingying nodded, "She got married last month. Her husband was a child. After they got married, Sister Liu Ying rented a small courtyard in the city and let her father-in-law and mother-in-law live with them. Her father-in-law wanted
She was looking at the fields in the village but did not go. Her mother-in-law went and helped the couple wash clothes and cook every day. She asked Sister Liu Ying to work hard and her son to study hard. She took care of everything in the house."
"What a great mother-in-law." Mrs. Wang said and glanced at her mother-in-law. Such sensible mothers-in-law were rare.
Mrs. Zhuang frowned and said: "She is already married, and her husband's family still allows her to work in the shop? Her husband is a scholar, doesn't he mind her being in the public eye?"
"How come it's not accurate? The pay in our shop is so good. Before Sister Liu Ying got married, she was promoted to deputy shopkeeper, and her basic monthly salary was this much!" Pu Yingying held out five fingers.
"Five taels?" Mrs. Wang clicked her tongue.
"Yeah." Pu Yingying nodded, "Including commissions, performance bonuses, etc., it's all for seven taels of silver. Who is willing to give up such a good job!"
Ms. Wang: "That's true. I can't bear to give it up. It's really rare for an ordinary woman to earn six or seven taels of silver a month these days! Many people can't earn this amount in a year!"
Pu Yingying continued: "And now many people are proud to work in the shop and factory owned by our county boss, so they don't feel ashamed to show up in public! The employees in our shop, when they reach their age, they are basically similar.
They are all scholars!”
Mrs. Zhuang's face looked very ugly, "No matter how good your job is, you won't be able to do it when you are pregnant with a child."
No matter how capable a woman is, she can only do it until she gives birth to a child.
"It's possible." Pu Yingying said, "We have maternity leave, which can be taken for half a year, and you can also get basic wages during maternity leave. After giving birth to the child, you can continue to work in the shop after confinement."
"This is great!" Wang clapped her hands.
Pu Yingying raised her chin proudly and said, "Only we, Shen Ji, have such good treatment."
"Who will take care of the child?" asked Mrs. Zhuang.
Pu Yingying said: "Give me the money and let my mother-in-law take care of it. Many sisters in our shop have made an agreement with the matchmaker when they talk about their marriage. They must be allowed to go out to work after they get married, and the mother-in-law should help take care of the children."
"
"It's ridiculous, it's so ridiculous. The right way is for men to take charge of the outside world and for women to take charge of the housework. Women are supposed to look after their husbands and raise their children, take care of the housework and be filial to their parents-in-law. But those people in your shop want to take care of the outsiders and let their mother-in-law help with the housework.
It's against common sense to take care of children, it's really ridiculous, ridiculous..." Mrs. Zhuang said emotionally, slapping the table.
Wang rolled her eyes lightly, "What's so absurd? My husband is happy with it, and my parents-in-law are happy with it, so what's so ridiculous about it?"
