Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

But Ai Shutong is really busy. Not only does she have to go to school, she is also planning to open a clothing store in partnership with someone else.

She thought about it for a while and felt that it would be a pity to give up the pen name that she had worked so hard to build up.

Mainly, she was not doing this for money, as the monthly rent was enough for her to spend. She just wanted to spread her voice in the newspaper.

After thinking it over, she smiled and said to Zhan Yongwen, "Thank you, President Zhan. I will prepare the outline of my next novel when I return."

Ai Shutong was in a hurry to go back and start a new article. Seeing that the matter was settled, she stood up and was about to leave.

Zhan Yongwen looked at his watch and said, "It's almost noon. I'll treat you to a meal. Thank you for your support of our newspaper."

Ai Shutong said politely: "You are too polite, I should treat you."

Zhan Yongwen walked to the clothes rack and took off his suit jacket. "Let's go! Miss Ai is treating me to dinner, I must go."

This time she treated me to a meal, after a few days, I can find an opportunity to invite her back, then we can meet again, right? !

In a good mood, Zhan Yongwen took Ai Shutong to a western restaurant.

***

Ai Shutong got off the rickshaw and just entered the yard, she saw Li Ma, Li Zhonghe and three unfamiliar people coming out.

Ai Shutong took the initiative to greet them, "Uncle Li, Aunt Li, are you going out?"

Li Zhong nodded and said nothing.

Mother Li smiled unnaturally and said, "I'm seeing off the relatives."

Ai Shutong looked curiously at the three strangers, two middle-aged women and a man in his twenties.

The man was also looking at her, but his eyes were sticky and made people feel uncomfortable.

Ai Shutong frowned, glared at him fiercely, turned around and strode into the room.

Li Zhong saw this scene and glanced at Li Ma with dissatisfaction.

After sending the person out the door, Li Zhong walked back with his head down.

Mother Li took a few quick steps and went into the house with him.

"I don't agree with this!" Li Zhong said in a muffled voice.

Li's mother was furious. "You don't agree?!"

"Then you can find a better one for Chunrong?"

"I worked so hard, asked people to send gifts, and finally found a good family for Chunrong, but you still despise me!"

"Do you think I'm willing to marry Chunrong so far away?"

"It's all this damn concession, all those modern people living there! They don't understand Chunrong's virtues, they just like those weird big-footed girls!"

"What's wrong with this world? When we were young, wealthy families would marry women with bound feet."

"It is wonderful for a woman with bound feet to be virtuous and live peacefully at home!"

"But now those bastard men don't like good women anymore. They all chase after those indecent vixens who show off and are not serious."

"Humph! They will definitely regret it. When they have children in the future, they won't know whether they are raising children for someone else's family."

"I must find a good one for Chunrong, so that those blind people will regret it!"

Li Zhong frowned irritably, "That man is not a good person at first glance, and he is not a good match."

"You go find a matchmaker and turn him down. I'll find one for Chunrong!"

Mother Li was originally clearing away the teacups. Upon hearing this, she slammed the cups back on the table.

"Didn't I tell you to look for them? What are those things you are looking for?!"

"Either servants or poor people."

"Chunrong has been spoiled by us since he was young, how could he live such a poor life?"

Seeing the unhappy face of the head of the household, Aunt Li immediately adjusted her tone and spoke again.

"This marriage is a marriage between two families. You can't just look at the man. The Qiu family is a small landlord in Nanhui, Pudong. They have hundreds of acres of fertile land. Once Chunrong marries, she will be the young lady and enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future."

"It's not a flaw for a man to be lustful. Which rich man doesn't have a concubine?"

"Let's not talk about the distant past, let's just talk about our master, isn't he..."

Li Zhong threw the cup in his hand to the ground, "It's getting even more out of line!"

"Not only did you insinuate the young lady, you also dared to exclude the master!"

"When you despise others for being servants, have you ever thought about yourself? You are a servant yourself!"

"Don't you even look down on yourself?"

Aunt Li yelled, "I was also the daughter of a good family. I am different from you who were born as slaves!"

Li Zhong couldn't help but sneer, "A good family? Don't flatter yourself. Would a good family sell their children?"

"Since you despise my background, why did you climb into my bed in the first place?"

"Our family doesn't even look down on a girl like you who was bought from outside."

"You are an outsider, and you are far inferior to the maids who have been servants in the mansion for generations. Not to mention that you can't even read!"

"It's you! You set me up, climbed into my bed, and forced me to marry you. And you still have the nerve to shout that you are nobler than us?!"

"Go ahead and leave if you dare! If you want to leave, I'll write you a divorce letter anytime!"

Mother Li looked at Li Zhong in shock, her trembling lips showing her inner restlessness, "So this is how you think of me! I've worked like a slave for your family for eighteen years, even if I haven't done anything great, I've worked hard, right?!"

"Li Zhong, you are such an ungrateful person!"

After saying that, he ran out of the door crying.

Through the hallway and two doors, Xia Yu put his ear against the door, eavesdropping.

"Miss, it seems like the noise is particularly intense this time!"

Ai Shutong put away the newspaper in her hand and said nonchalantly, "You know that they have a small quarrel every three days and a big quarrel every five days. This time it may have been too long, so they held it in for a big one. It will be over in two days!"

Xia Yu was worried: "What servant did I hear? What divorce letter?! They won't do it for real this time, right?"

Ai Shutong shook her head: "Impossible!"

"Mrs. Li is not that stupid. She's serious."

"If she leaves Uncle Li, she will have nowhere to go."

Xia Yu felt that the young lady was right and felt relieved instantly.

Ai Shutong went to the study to prepare to write a new novel.

She had just decided to write a time-travel novel. There had never been any novels of this kind in this era, so she was a pioneer.

However, Ai Shutong thought about it and realized that she was just an ordinary person, so she did not intend to get involved in politics. She preferred to write articles that were useful to the people.

In such a bitter society full of warlords fighting each other, let us have a little more positive energy.

As for those more complicated factional struggles and world wars, there was nothing a little girl like her could do to change them.

Maybe one day, she would hide her identity and do something secretly, but it would definitely not be like now when she is so weak and incompetent.

She admitted that she was selfish and would never cross the line unless she could protect herself.

After all, she only has one life, and she doesn't want to die halfway. She wants to go to the end and achieve the great goal of dying of old age.

After a lot of random thoughts, she picked up a pen and wrote "Travel to the Food King" on the paper.

Xia Yu, who was tidying up the living room, walked through the open door and saw Ai Shutong writing. His hands moved even more slowly.
