Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

This time, Ai Shutong could not stay out of it no matter what.

For the safety of herself and her children, she cannot openly join the Republican Party, but now that the Republican Party is at a disadvantage and needs her help, she will certainly do her best to help.

She agreed immediately, "Go and call Wen Xia over, and let's discuss how to save Comrade Zhang Yongquan."

When Wen Xia came over, she still looked a little uncomfortable. She knew that her behavior in the past few days was inappropriate.

Ai Shutong naturally had no time to pay attention to her emotions and asked directly: "How was Zhang Yongquan arrested?"

Zheng Mili and Wen Xia looked at each other, both with doubt on their faces.

Ai Shutong moved back, leaned against the back of the chair, crossed her arms and placed them in front of her chest, "What? It's hard to say?"

Seeing that the two still didn't speak, Ai Shutong sneered, "You asked me to save people, but you didn't tell me the truth, how can I save them?"

"How about you two show me the way out?"

Zheng Mili then stuttered, "Chairman, don't be angry, we are just afraid..."

Ai Shutong raised her hand to interrupt her, "Stop, I don't have time to listen to all your explanations. If you want me to save people, just tell me the details directly."

"If you don't want to save people, just leave."

"I'm busy selling the factory. After a while, I will have nothing to do with you. You can ask the new chairman for help."

After Ai Shutong became pregnant, she became easily irritated. She would get very annoyed when she saw the two of them dragging their feet and acting as if they had their own reasons.

In order to relieve her emotions, she skipped work and went home.

As soon as I entered the door, I smelled the aroma of the food, and my mood naturally improved.

"Mother Lin, what delicious food did you make today? It smells so good!"

Mother Lin, who was busy in the kitchen, turned around and saw her, and hurriedly said, "Little Ancestor, please get out. The kitchen is so hot and choking, and you are pregnant. How can you bear it?"

Ai Shutong walked to the table in the living room and sat down, resting her chin on her hand in a daze for a while. Then Lin's mother came over with a plate.

"I bought some pickled cabbage at the market today and fried it with some pork. The vegetable is rough, so I wanted to save it for us to eat and make you some beef brisket with tomatoes. Since you think it smells good, try it first and see if you can eat it."

Ai Shutong only smelled the taste and saliva came out of her mouth. She couldn't wait to pick up the chopsticks and put it in her mouth. The sour, fragrant and salty taste instantly occupied her taste buds.

"Yum! So delicious."

Mother Lin looked at her lovingly and said, "If you like it, I'll make it for you tomorrow."

Ai Shutong nodded while eating, "Thank you, Aunt Lin."

Mother Lin pretended to be angry and said, "Why are you being so polite to Mother Lin?! Are you treating me as an outsider?!"

Ai Shutong quickly shook her head, "How could that be? I just think you're too good to me, and I want you to know what I'm thinking."

Mother Lin put on a smile again and sat on the chair next to her. "Miss, didn't you say you wanted to sell the Fengda Flour Mill? Why do you still work so hard every day?"

While Ai Shutong was devouring her meal, she took the time to say to her, "The price of the discontinued ones and the profitable ones will be very different."

"I'm thinking of waiting until the flour mill ships normally and gets a good turnover before looking for a seller."

It was just a casual remark, but I didn't expect to hear Lin's mother say: "Don't worry about not being able to sell it at a high price. I ran into an acquaintance a few days ago, a former neighbor of my mother's family. He has come to Shanghai to do business now, and he seems to be very rich."

"After chatting for a while, he mentioned that he wanted to start a flour mill. I laughed when I heard that. Isn't it like someone is sending you a pillow just because you are sleepy?"

"At that time, I suggested to him that he should just buy a mature flour mill, which would save him the trouble of setting up a factory and make a profit directly. What a great idea!"

"Cough-cough-cough-"

Ai Shutong started coughing non-stop, and Mother Lin quickly poured her a glass of water.

After drinking two sips of water, she felt better. Ai Shutong looked up and complained, "Mother Lin, can you worry less? Fengda is such a big flour mill. Selling it is not a joke. How can you be so careless?"

Mother Lin rubbed her hands awkwardly. Seeing her pitiful look, Ai Shutong felt that what she had just said was a bit harsh. After all, she was doing it for her own good.

"I'm pregnant recently and I'm always irritable. What I just said was a bit unpleasant to hear. Don't take it to heart."

Mother Lin waved her hands and said, "Miss, I know your difficulties. I just think you are working too hard, so I suggested that to Brother Guan."

"I also want you to sell the flour mill as soon as possible so that you can rest at home more."

Ai Shutong: "Don't worry, Mom Lin. I'm not tired at all."

Since she had rejected it, Ai Shutong felt that the matter was over.

Next, she went to work at Fengda as usual.

But two days later, which happened to be a Sunday, a middle-aged man in his forties came to Xiafei Road.

I rang the doorbell of room 11.

“Smash—smash—smash—”

After a few calls, Father Xia came to open the door and saw a strange middle-aged man. He asked, "Who are you looking for?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "I am Lin Rui's friend, and I came to visit you specially."

When Father Xia heard this, he was wondering who Lin Rui was. He didn't know her and immediately replied, "You've come to the wrong place. There's no one named Lin Rui here."

The man waved his hand calmly, "It can't be wrong, you can go back and ask, I'll wait."

Father Xia walked back to the house, wondering, and asked Xia Zhou and Xia Yu in the living room, "Is there anyone named Lin Rui here? There's someone outside, looking for Lin Rui."

Xia Zhou always thought her husband was honest, but she didn't expect that his honest brain wouldn't work. "As long as Mother Lin's last name is Lin, it's most likely her."

He turned to Xia Yu beside him and said, "Xia Yu, go ask Mother Lin."

Xia Yu responded crisply: "Okay."

Sure enough, just as Xia Zhou expected, the man came to find Lin Ma.

When Mother Lin saw him, although her face looked unhappy, she still knocked on the door of Ai Shutong's study.

Ai Shutong is writing an article titled "Sisters Should Be Self-reliant". She plans to publish the article in the Women's New Newspaper later this month.

The Women's New Newspaper was founded in 1925 with funds from Ai Shutong.

The opportunity for the publication was an argumentative essay she wrote, titled "Similarities between Bound Feet and Disability." Unexpectedly but understandably, the article was rejected by the "Bai Hua Wen Xin Bao."

Zhan Yongwen also severely criticized her article.

This made Ai Shutong see clearly his nature of favoring boys over girls, as well as his male-centered cultural concepts and behavioral patterns.

In order to avoid having her manuscripts rejected, Ai Shutong founded the "Women's New Newspaper".

In the early days of its publication, the newspaper was always in the red, and Ai Shutong would write letters to women she knew every day asking for manuscripts.

He also stayed up late to write two family ethics novels, which were published there to attract housewives to subscribe.
