Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Ai Shutong was speechless after hearing this. These aunties really have great tongues!

Seeing Li Rong so scared, Li Zhong felt heartbroken and a little bit hateful towards him for not living up to his expectations.

I've taken him to meet many people and do many things before, so how come he hasn't made any progress at all?

Even though I hate him, he is still my son after all, and I am also partly responsible for the way he has become.

Li Zhong, who was deeply influenced by Confucian education, reflected on himself three times a day and decided to help Li Rong one last time.

"Get up! You don't have to kneel down to me. I can't save you. You have to learn to be responsible for yourself in the future."

"You can pay a fine if you come to our house to cause trouble."

Ai Shutong sighed deeply, thinking to herself that it was a good thing that she didn't jump out to speak up for Uncle Li!

Look, in the blink of an eye, I’m here to help again.

Li Rong also reacted and said hurriedly: "I'll pay the fine, don't arrest me!"

Ai Shutong took out four dollars from her bag and stuffed them into the two policemen's pockets. "Sir, please take these two troublemakers away. Once you get out of here, I won't be responsible for whether you release them or arrest them."

The fat policeman put the money in his pocket and said with a smile, "Don't worry, we will take them back to the police station right away. There are still procedures to follow for paying the fine."

After the police left, Ai Shutong was not in the mood to deal with other people, so she just took Xia Yu home.

Ai Shutong was very busy in the next few days.

There were activities going on in clothing stores, and as there were many Christmas balls, many young ladies and wives came to the store to order custom-made clothes.

The climax came on the eve of Christmas. Many people came to choose clothes and have their styling done. The two makeup artists, Zheng Qiuying and Hu Ying, were simply too busy to handle it. Ai Shutong had to give up the job of matching clothes for customers and move to the dressing room.

After Christmas, Ai Shutong had her final exams, which lasted for three consecutive days, and she finally had her winter break.

Early in the morning, there was a knock on the door. Xia Yu opened the door quickly and lightly, like a cat. He raised his index finger and put it to his lips, "Shh..."

"Miss, you were so tired recently. Today, you can finally sleep a little longer. Let's keep it down!"

Li Chunrong nodded and said in a low voice: "I made some meat patties and sent you a plate."

Xia Yu took it and said "Thank you."

"Are you feeling better? With Xu Ma here, you can let her do the work. You should take more rest."

Li Chunrong showed a hint of stubbornness on his face. "I am healthy now. I have nothing but my father. I want to learn how to do some work so that I can take care of my father in the future."

"Before I got married, my mother didn't let me do anything. After I got married, I had to do everything in the Qiu family."

"It was then that I realized that cooking and housework also need to be learned. If you don't know how to do it, you will be insulted and despised."

"Mrs. Xu knows a lot about this, and I want to learn more while she's around."

Xia Yu nodded in agreement, "Yes! We are born to work. If we have work to do, we can survive. The worst thing is to want to work but have no work to do. In that case, we will starve to death."

"But health is also important. You can tell by looking at me. If I hadn't been disfigured, I could have gone to work in a prostitute shop. That way I could have earned more money and saved more money."

"Listen to me, take care of your health first, then do other things."

Li Chunrong knew that Xia Yu was really worried about her, and couldn't bear to reject her kindness in person, so she could only nod randomly and said quickly as if to avoid it: "I won't bother you anymore. When you are free, we can chat together."

Xia Yu saw the reluctance on her face and sighed deeply in his heart, "Well, you go back, I'll come to you when I have time."

Ai Shutong slept until noon, then got up and went to the study.

After a while, there was a knock on the door.

Ai Shutong said lazily, "Come in."

Xia Yu was carrying a tray with a bowl of millet porridge, a plate of pickles, and two meat patties on it.

"Miss, Chunrong made meat patties this morning and sent us four. They taste very good. You can try them."

Ai Shutong: "Maybe I woke up too late and don't have much appetite!"

Xia Yu: "Then eat less and drink some millet porridge to nourish your stomach."

Seeing that she couldn't refuse, Ai Shutong left a bowl of millet porridge and a small dish of pickles.

After Xia Yu carried the tray out, Ai Shutong took out the letter from the drawer again.

This was the letter sent to her by Chief Steward Li. In the letter, he said that he went to Qianduju in person to find Old Li and inquired about Lin Ma.

Old Li told him everything he knew.

It turned out that it was Fang Baozhu who instigated Lin's mother to resign.

Fang Baozhu was from Shanghai. In order to be with Xu Sheng, she eloped with him to Beijing.

After Fang Baozhu was abandoned by Xu Sheng, she found out that she was pregnant. At that time, she couldn't even afford to eat, so she lost the baby and almost died.

It was Lin's mother who saved Fang Baozhu.

After Fang Baozhu recovered, she was very grateful to Lin Ma and told her that she was the only daughter of Fang Zhengxing, a wealthy Shanghai businessman.

After eloping, she deeply felt that she had done something wrong and missed her parents very much.

Originally, Lin Ma had raised the travel expenses for her, but she told Lin Ma that by saving her, she had saved their entire family, and she wanted to take Lin Ma back to Shanghai.

If her parents knew that it was Mother Lin who saved her, they would definitely thank her profusely.

Mother Lin refused for a simple reason. She was a native Beijinger and was used to living in Beijing. Besides, Miss Ai Ruoru was also in Beijing and she didn't want to be too far away from her.

Old Li was also reluctant to let Mother Lin and Fang Baozhu go to Shanghai. He heard that Shanghai was very far away and that once they went there they would never be able to come back. If something happened and they had no acquaintances to help them, how miserable Mother Lin would be!

But a few days later, Fang Baozhu brought up the old matter with Lin Ma while holding a newspaper.

The newspaper reported that Miss Jin's daughter, Ai Shutong, went missing on December 12. When Mother Lin heard this, she didn't believe it at all. Her daughter was very capable and often went out alone, so how could she go missing?

But a few days later, the Presidential Palace issued a wanted order for Ai Shutong.

When Lin's mother found out, she was scared out of her wits. Fang Baozhu took this opportunity to persuade Lin's mother to go south to Shanghai with her.

When she meets her parents, she will ask them to help Mother Lin find Ai Shutong.

Mother Lin couldn't find a better solution, so she packed up her things, quit her job, and left with Fang Baozhu.

Ai Shutong read the letter over and over again, and there were a few points in it that she couldn't understand.

First, why did Fang Baozhu insist on having Lin Ma go with her? Since she had already raised money for her trip, why did she insist on having Lin Ma go with her?!

Second, the last time Fang Baozhu went to a clothing store to buy clothes, she was not surprised to see me, and obviously knew the relationship between that store and me. Does that mean that she had investigated me before? !

Since Fang Baozhu found her, why didn't Lin Ma come to find her? And Fang Baozhu didn't mention Lin Ma to her! What's going on? !
