Chapter 1475: People Die for Money

Even though she just met Zhou Jing, her stubborn appearance made netizens feel distressed. It is so inhumane for such a thin woman to endure the pain of her menstrual period and enter the cold water to play the role of a mermaid.

Everyone pointed the finger at the white woman and regarded her as a vicious witch or stepmother in a fairy tale. If she could see the barrage of curses from netizens, she would explode in anger.

"How about this, store manager, you pretend to be a woman and play the mermaid for this young lady?"

"Pull it down, just him?"

"I think it's okay, wear a wig, and then squeeze the breasts hard, the groove can always be squeezed out..."

"Thinking about it hurts my eyes..."

Xiaoxue quickly grabbed Zhou Jing and advised her not to act impulsively, she might get seriously ill if she really wanted to go into the water.

Zhou Jing shook her head, pushed Xiaoxue's hand away, gritted her teeth and said, "I understand what you said, but who made me choose this job..."

She looked up at the white woman, "Abby is right, this job is too important to her and to me, we can't lose this job."

Only then did Xiaoxue know that the Caucasian woman's name was Abby.

"But..." Xiaoxue wanted to persuade her again.

"You don't understand." Zhou Jing sighed, "Abby is a single mother, she needs this job to support her and her children, otherwise she will be kicked out by the landlord to sleep on the street, and my dad just lost his job, I also need this job to pay Tuition fees and subsidies go home.”

As she spoke, she struggled to hold the blue mermaid suit off the iron shelf.

The 2-meter-long and 50-jin mermaid suit needs to be taken off by a princess hug, and she is in her menstrual period and her physical strength is already weak, so Zhang Zian went to help her hug her.

This is the first time he has come into contact with the fish tail used in mermaid performances. As soon as he touches it, he feels... the touch from his fingers is somewhat familiar. This thing is not made of artificial materials as he imagined.

"this is……"

He put the mermaid suit on the ground, knelt down and touched it carefully. The outside and inside feel completely different. The outer layer is smooth and soft, while the inner layer is rough and stiff.

He could feel that the inner layer was made of rubber, and it was purposely made rough to increase friction. Otherwise, what would happen if the fish tail fell off while swimming in the water? But it will obviously be very uncomfortable to wear in this way.

The outer layer is smooth to reduce water resistance.

"Whale skin." Zhou Jing said, "The outer layer is hand-stitched with whale skin, and then dyed with natural plant pigments. This mermaid suit alone is worth a lot."

Zhang Zian was stunned. The leather clothes worn by ordinary people were mostly cowhide, horsehide, sheepskin, and crocodile skin, and this whale skin mermaid suit was definitely more expensive than crocodile skin.

Zhou Jing spread her palms, Zhang Zian and Xiaoxue saw that there were some unhealed fine wounds on her fingers and palms, like blood holes made by needles, very thick needles, not ordinary sewing needles.

"The mermaid suit has been soaked in water for a long time, and it is inevitable that the seams will open. Once the seams are opened, we have to sew them up by ourselves. The same is true for Abby's hands. She is better than me because she is more skilled." She said.

Xiaoxue looked at the inside of the mermaid suit, stretched out her leg for a gesture, and exclaimed, "This...the inside is so tight, can it fit in?"

Xiaoxue already has a relatively slender figure, but it is roughly estimated that she can only stretch her calves into the mermaid suit, and her thighs will definitely get stuck. You know, the inner layer of the mermaid suit is made of rubber, not the kind of elastic man-made fibers that girls often wear in leggings. It is a little elastic, but overall it is very stiff, similar to diving fins. The entrance is stretched, and the legs are forced into it.

"Did you also find out? That's why we have to be very thin, otherwise we won't be able to wear a tailcoat." Zhou Jing sighed, "I was not so thin before. In order to get this job, I had to lose weight desperately. Now in order to maintain Weight, only one meal a day... Abby did the same, she worked longer and suffered more than I did.”

As for making the mermaid suit fatter and bigger, that’s not acceptable. First of all, the mermaid suit itself, the outer layer of whale skin, the inner rubber layer, and the support layer of filler in the middle, the more space left for the legs, the more the mermaid suit will be. The suit itself will be bigger and heavier, and it will be more difficult to swim in the water; secondly, the water has a refraction effect, people with an ordinary body will look fat in the water, people with a thin body will look normal in the water, and if the mermaid If the clothes are made fatter, the audience on the other side of the glass will have no sense of beauty, like an old and frail mermaid grandma...

Zhou Jing smiled self-deprecatingly, and pressed her lower abdomen with her hands, "We are thin like this, because of malnutrition, plus always soaking in cold water, menstrual periods often disappear, and occasionally come irregularly... …We have to soak in water at this temperature for about two or three hours a day, and our lips are often purple when we leave the water. Abby…As far as I know, she hasn’t had a menstrual period for two or three years. Fortunately, she has given birth to a child..."

The viewers in the live broadcast room were immediately discouraged. As the saying goes, poor people must have something to hate. Abby has a bad temper and frequently curses, which is certainly hateful, but how did she form such a character? Long-term starvation leads to skinny bones and disordered physiological functions. It would be difficult for others to maintain a peaceful mind, right?

This is not an extreme diet of two meals a day, two days a day, two weeks a week, one month and two months, but calculated in years.

Not only extreme dieting, but also maintaining fitness while dieting, regular running and strength training to maintain physical strength, how many people can do it? Not to mention women, how many men can do it?

The audience suddenly had some sympathy and understanding for Abby. As a single mother, she has to take on such a hard job while raising her children. Her violent temper is her way of protecting herself and venting pressure. Of course, it is wrong to swear.

The special occupations of Zhou Jing and Abby are somewhat like models. We all know that in order to look good on the catwalk, models have to maintain a thin body. At the same time, in order to be able to hold up the clothes, they have to do fitness training, try to reduce the larger fat and replace it with much smaller muscles.

After hearing this, Xiaoxue persuaded with distress: "It's so hard, why don't you change your job? Doing something is better than this! If you go on like this, your body will collapse!"

Zhou Jing shook her head, "Other jobs, I and Abby can do, earn too little money."

Unlike China, in foreign countries, people generally don't inquire about other people's salary casually. After all, this is personal privacy, but Xiaoxue still couldn't help asking: "Then...how much is the salary for this job?"

Zhou Jing thought for a while, "Based on the annual salary, it's about 70,000 US dollars a year, which is about 500,000 RMB."
