Chapter 474

Work is very boring, but with two people suffering together becomes not boring.

Therefore, Zhu Yuyan had flipped enough love love to go to suffer from the German language. And Su Chunjun, after being tortured by the German language, also went to feel the fragrance of love.

However, romance novels always turn over faster, it also gives the shortest time, requiring a month to turn over the manuscript.

On the day of delivery, Su Chunjun had to go to the publishing house himself.

Zhu Yuyan went with him, just to go to the city for shopping.

The two of them dressed up, first took their own carriage to the post office, and then from the post office to the train station by the post office’s carriage – this saves the family’s horsepower!

Then from the train station to London.

The railroad station was thick with people.

The police stood in one place, staring at all the ragged children who were not with their parents, and at a single, heavily made-up woman. The former was a thief, the latter a prostitute.

Zhu Yuyan’s hair was combed back and hidden in a hat, she wore no make-up and was holding Su Chunjun on her arm, so the police just swept her off her feet.

The war destroyed the British economy, and a large number of professions that could only be fed in peacetime became vagabonds and displaced people. Children who lost their parents became thieves, and women who lost the shelter of their families had to sell themselves.

The factories don’t want all the workers. In the newspaper Zhu Yuyan has read, there is a report that the factories give medical checkups to the female workers who enter the factories, which is said to be for the sake of “the health of the workers”.

But as far as she knew, the so-called medical checkups only checked two things: one was age and the other was whether the limbs were intact.

Whenever young women come to work, they open their mouths and look at their teeth, like picking a horse, but it’s a really useful trick because the teeth are the most indicative of age, whether they’re yellowed, whether they’re worn down too much, whether the gums have receded or not, it’s all very obvious.

The other thing is to be healthy, with all the limbs intact and no disabilities in the hands or feet.

Women who were sick, or who didn’t look healthy enough, were brushed off.

In the academic journals she’d read, there was a very strict distinction between women’s health, but she didn’t think that was at all fair to British women these days.

For one thing, there was a tradition of not bathing in England!

This wasn’t exactly a God issue, it wasn’t just the preachers who said that bathing made you sick and that it was healthy not to bathe.

Rather, here, bathing has less to do with cleanliness and more to do with temptation.

Most people only bathe twice in their lives, once at birth and once at death. This is not nonsense, but reality.

England was a country with a fair amount of water, with many rivers, and there was no shortage of water for the common people. But except for the nobles, the people seldom bathed.

Because if a woman took a bath, it was like she was telling people that she was planning to do something immoral.

Because Zhu Yuyan liked to bathe, and so did Su Chunjun, the couple washed almost once every two days, which amounted to boiling bathing water almost every day.

In the beginning, they would hire people from the village to cut firewood. After the village people found out that they boiled water for bathing – someone even snuck under their window to peek!

Su Chunjun beat the man up and broke one of his legs before letting him go.

Since then, no one in this village dared to mess with them.

Because they used to live in an apartment and had no experience of being spied on by their neighbors, the two of them were still nervous for a while.

Then Shi Wuwei said that it had happened to them as well.

None of the four knew why!

It was almost like “the English countryside is a terrible place to live”.

In the end, it was Ms. Julie who helped them out.

It turns out that bathing is the same as XO.

When Miss Julie was still in England, her adoptive mother, the Duchess, had to close the door of her room tightly every time she took a bath, and then there were maids of honor in front of the door, and four or five maids of honor in the house to help her, and after every bath, she either had to have dinner with Mr. Duke, or she had to go to see her lover – yes, the Duchess had several lovers.

The Duchess was very happy every time she took a bath, and she told Miss Julie that bathing was a very romantic thing, and would remind one of the time spent with a lover.

When Miss Julie returned to China and saw bathhouses on the streets of China that openly solicited customers, she always thought they were brothels.

Secondly, British women are having children at a very, very early age.

That is, now that the industrial revolution, a large number of women entered factories before they got married, and after they entered the factories, the factory owners would only want them to work hard, and would not be willing to let them go back to get married and have children – Zhu Yuyan thought that this seems to be a bit similar to the modern times.

So the reproductive age of women was artificially delayed.

This was not a bad thing, but a good thing.

Because although there have been condoms for a long time, but not too many people use them at all, its current name is condom, used to prevent contagious diseases, even if there is, it is still used by brothels. Ordinary people don’t use them at all.

So the number of abortions among British women is quite high, and they have no means of protecting themselves at all. Many British women get married and then they are constantly caught in a vicious circle of childbirth, abortion, childbirth and abortion.

Among the causes of death of British women, childbirth and abortion have always been the most frequent, and very few of them can live to a ripe old age.

And Britain has operating rooms, but no obstetrics, infant and child units, no gynecology.

This was the deepest grievance of Zhu Yuyan, who thought she could enjoy more advanced medical conditions when she came to a foreign country!

–Because she went to the hospital to buy condoms and tried to book a gynecological examination for herself. As a result, she was treated as a prostitute who had come for an abortion.

In the end, it was Su Chunjun who went to buy the condoms.

She was also shocked more than once when the two were collecting papers related to medicine and drugs.

For example, she thought scientific papers were supposed to be unrelated to God, but in the papers and writings they translated, more than one author claimed that he was guided by God.

Or some other divine revelation.

Or some other occult stuff like the curse of the Egyptian pharaohs or something.

…… shocked her for a hundred years.

The first time she turned to them she thought she didn’t understand the author’s original intent, that he might be using some kind of metaphorical device or something.

When she saw it more she wasn’t surprised.

It turned out that this was the world as seen differently by atheism and theism.

It’s normal for theists to mention God in their scientific papers.

Far from it.

Anyway, in the Western world nowadays, the line between science and fantasy is not at all clear, and the line between advanced and enlightened and ignorant is not that far.

It’s normal for a British girl to get married at eleven and have a baby at eleven and then keep having abortions and miscarriages until she dies at fifteen.

It is not unusual for a British girl to marry at eleven and have a baby at eleven and then keep aborting and miscarrying until she dies at fifteen.

So it’s normal that she’s keen to keep writing novels in which the heroine takes a bath and only a shower.

–Because British women nowadays draw their baths from a river, mix it with hot water without boiling it, and then soak in it.

This is a river where people throw garbage, people empty toilets, people throw corpses, and factories dump sewage.

She hated to plant the concept of hygiene in a woman’s head, because it was the cause of most of the illnesses that women got in this period.

All she could do was hand her a little money as she passed a woman with heavy makeup and red bumps on the lymph nodes of her neck.

–Can you imagine these prostitutes using birth control by applying river mud to their p*ssy.

They also knew that contraception was important, they were well aware that giving birth or having an abortion was a very dangerous thing to do, they just didn’t know what to do to protect themselves.

After seeing the miserable lives of British women during this period, she felt she could understand British high schools handing out condoms.
