Many people, after drinking sorghum wine, became emboldened. They used to talk only behind people's backs, but now, seeing so many discussing Shirley and her daughter's situation, they joined in the echo.
But the women present weren't only Shirley; many who worked at the Head Flower Factory had been exposed to Director Guo's advocacy for women's rights. At first, they just listened, but when they received their first paycheck through their own hard work, the pride was truly heartfelt.
This was wealth obtained independently, created by their own hands.
Even those who didn't work at the Head Flower Factory, upon hearing these men's words, were fiercely indignant, with some unable to hold back on the spot.
"What's this about making do for a lifetime? With a person like Lai Zi who's mean-spirited, violent, and lazy, who would want to make do with him for a lifetime? You men are so generous, why don't you send your own daughters or wives to make do with him?"
