“Then, let us begin. My legs are so sore that I can barely stand.”
“Alright. ”
As usual, Zhao Chuchu gave a demonstration and then corrected their movements and the force they exerted. Once they did everything properly, she asked them to maintain their poses for a certain amount of time.
They took half an hour to complete a whole set of full-body stretches as she taught them.
After that, Zhao Chuchu taught them some simple massaging techniques. To their surprise, they discovered that their soreness had been greatly alleviated.
“Mrs. Xie, we should have trusted you.”
“I will come tomorrow. After two months, I will definitely show that vixen at home how beautiful I can be!”
“That’s right. I will definitely not lose to those vixens.” The women cheered themselves on.
Zhao Chuchu sighed internally when she heard their words.
However, she couldn’t change their mindsets in a short amount of time.
After all, in the current era, women were born to find husbands and have children. Their lives would revolve around their husbands, and they were even asked to be magnanimous. They were brainwashed to believe that men having many wives and concubines was normal. As head wives, they could not get jealous!
Zhao Chuchu didn’t believe that she could single-handedly change this situation.
All she could do was to slowly influence them so that eventually, they would have a paradigm shift that women should be beautiful for themselves and not for men.
When women had confidence in their beauty and stopped pleasing men, men would instead come knocking on their doors.
To put it bluntly, most men preferred to be trampled on.
They disregarded women who treated them well. The more the women ignored them, the more the men desired them.
Zhao Chuchu could only let the ladies slowly change their mindsets through her subtle influences.
She still had plenty of time with them, so she was not in a rush to transform them.
She would stay in the capital for another year or so. Therefore, she would most likely be able to influence many ladies.
Her target was not to instigate the ladies into starting a women’s liberation movement. Instead, she wanted them to understand that there was no need for them to flatter anyone. They should desire change for themselves.
The Ruyu Center also had a bathhouse.
After the women finished exercising, they could take a good bath there. Zhao Chuchu had prepared fragrant soaps and shampoos for them.
The fragrant soaps were not items taken out from her carry-on space. Instead, she had them custom-made to fit the ladies’ preferences.
She concocted the shampoo herself. It was made with pure medicinal herbs and was free of any chemicals. It also came with different scents. It could nourish the users’ hair. The more the ladies used her shampoo, the better their hair would be. The shampoo could also prevent hair loss.
It was a product best fit for women of Mrs. Ge’s age.
The bathhouse was also designed by Zhao Chuchu. It had many shower cubicles. When the women emerged from the bathhouse smelling wonderful. they fell in love with the Ruyu Center’s fragrant soap and shampoo.
Mrs. Ge was the first to ask, saying, “Mrs. Xie, are the Ruyu Center’s fragrant soaps and shampoos for sale? I want to buy some to use back home.”
“Of course, you can buy them,” said Zhao Chuchu. She knew that the ladies would love them, so she had a lot of stock prepared.
She would not let the opportunity to sell merchandise slip past her. When her merchandise became popular, this would be a huge market for her.
A woman ordered, “Give me two pieces of fragrant soap and two bottles of shampoo. I want the mint-scented shampoo. It’s so refreshing.”
Another woman added, “I want five pieces of fragrant soap and five bottles of shampoo. The scents I want are mint, jasmine, citrus, cherry blossoms, and osmanthus.”
“Leave me some! You should not buy too much. Other people want them too!”
At first, some of the women were debating whether or not they should buy the products. When they saw that everyone else was rushing to purchase the products, they did not hold back as well.
Zhao Chuchu smiled and said, “Ladies, you do not need to rush. Take your time. I have made enough for all of you to buy what you need.”
Chang Hong and Jixiang had also come to help in the Ruyu Center today.
When they saw the situation, they quickly came forward to help out.
Chang Hong was in charge of taking orders while Jixiang went to collect the stock.
Back in the broker house, Jixiang appeared dim-witted. However, after being in the Xie residence for a few days, she slowly began to smile and became much more agile.
What surprised Zhao Chuchu the most was that Jixiangs memory was very good.
She merely listened to Mrs. Ge and the other women’s orders without taking notes, and she managed to prepare their orders perfectly.
She was illiterate, but she arranged their items according to their orders, making it easier for Chang Hong to double-check them.
After exercising, the women looked rosy. Mrs. Ge and the other women were very happy. They returned home satisfied, carrying their purchases as well as the medicine bag given by Zhao Chuchu for free.
Only then did Zhao Chuchu ask Jixiang, “Just now, while I was teaching them, I noticed that you were watching at the side for a long time. How much have you learned?”
Jixiang was stunned. She asked, “Mrs. Xie, do I have to learn the movements as well?”
“Of course, we will have more people than just these members in the future. I will need someone who can help me. Jixiang, are you willing to be that person?
“Can… can I?”
Jixiang had a look of disbelief. Could she teach those ladies?
Wasn’t that something that only a teacher could do?
She was illiterate and was a village girl.. How could she possibly be a teacher?
