(Baonghean.vn) - When talking about women, many people immediately think of "weak" women and girls. But many people, for the sake of making a living, do hard, arduous jobs that are usually reserved for strong men such as: porters, construction workers, janitors, freelance workers at "flea markets"... For this job, they only need to be healthy, not sick, and have a stable income.
