 Chapter 289: Compromising

"This one will be more fitting and it can only be worn for three months at most before needing replacement. It's good for the body and keeps things clean." Ye Muyu patiently explained, with her primary concern being the fit.


As for the undergarments from her past life, they were a bit too revealing. If she made them and hung them out to dry, it might attract unwanted attention and gossip. There are no secrets in this world.


Although the effect of the bellybands wasn't great, it was enough for a married woman. Hu Shi was a bit curious about these boxer briefs. When Ye Muyu looked at her, she smiled kindly, "Madam, your idea is quite good."


"Do you want me to make a set for you?" Ye Muyu asked eagerly.


Hu Shi shook her head in refusal, "Madam, I'm already this old, I can't bring myself to wear such short clothes."


Seeing her resistance, Ye Muyu became even more curious. "Aunt, haven't you ever thought of wearing more fitted undergarments?"


"Yeah, look at these ordinary boxer briefs, they are somewhat loose. Wouldn't you feel... uncomfortable?" Ye Muyu tried to express herself more explicitly.


"That's why these boxer briefs should be made of cotton fabric. If linen is used, it would indeed be uncomfortable."


"In general, the fabric for household clothes is of the best quality."


"I mean, uncomfortable in terms of not being close-fitting enough." Ye Muyu tried to make it clearer.


"For example, during menstruation, sanitary pads adhere well. Why not make a short boxer brief that would be convenient for everyday wear?"


This time, Hu Shi understood but her face turned red involuntarily. Even if her skin was rough, her blushing was still evident showing how sensitive this topic was for her.


"Madam, this is not acceptable. If people find out, it would be too embarrassing." Hu Shi expressed her concern.


"I'm afraid only women in certain places would dare to wear something like this."


Ye Muyu's mouth twitched slightly. She felt that her idea of making regular boxer briefs was definitely going to be shattered.


Sure enough, Hu Shi continued with a worried expression, "Madam, if people find out about what you've made, it might tarnish your daughter's reputation."


"Madam, I'm not questioning you but I've heard about an incident in the county. There was a married man who went to a brothel, and when his wife found out, she went to confront the woman."


"Afterwards, it was rumored that the woman in the brothel wore revealing clothes, including extremely short boxer briefs."


"After this news spread, everyone started associating extremely short boxer briefs with women from brothels."


"Us ordinary women can't wear them, it would ruin our reputation."


Ye Muyu massaged her temples, realizing that her attempt to compromise by making regular boxer briefs had become an unattainable goal.


"Really not possible?" Ye Muyu still wanted to struggle a bit.


Seeing that she wasn't angry, Hu Shi plucked up the courage to shake her head "Madam, it's really not possible. If such incidents hadn't occurred, it might be fine for women to wear slightly shorter boxer briefs privately. But unfortunately, such incidents have happened and the more virtuous a woman is, the less likely she is to accept this."


Ye Muyu thought about it. After all, the deeply ingrained class distinctions of ancient times were entrenched in everyone's minds. They couldn't be changed by a single word or a single person.


She shouldn't try to single-handedly shake the feudal system, it would only add to her troubles.


"In that case, I'll make them a bit longer, reaching the knees. How about that?" Ye Muyu compromised.


Although Hu Shi didn't understand why Ye Muyu was so insistent on short boxer briefs, this time she didn't shake her head.


"That should be okay."


"Good, I understand." Ye Muyu sat down and continued making the boxer briefs.
