Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

She knew in her heart that the young lady wanted to leave here and go to a place where no one knew her and live a free life.

But she didn't want to. There was chaos and war here, and the young lady was so beautiful, like a fragile magnolia flower. She would die if someone pinched her even lightly.

Just like his poor little Salem, disappeared forever.

Ai Shutong was just about to say something to comfort Lin's mother when Meng Bailu walked in with a basin of water.

When he looked up and saw Ai Shutong, he quickly greeted her, "Hello, Miss Ai. I just went to get some water and wanted to wipe Aunt Lin's hands and face to make her feel better."

Meng Bailu is the helper hired by Dr. Bai in the hospital. I heard that she is a student of Union University, knows some medical knowledge, and often works and studies in this hospital.

She doesn't stay here all day, but runs between the school and the hospital. The cost is not cheap, costing one dollar a day.

Ai Shutong nodded, "Okay, you wipe it for Lin Ma, I'll be out for a while!"

Without waiting for Meng Bailu to say anything, Ai Shutong turned and walked out of the ward.

She is worried now and doesn't know how to deal with Lin's mother.

It can be seen from Lin Ma’s expression just now that she is feeling very insecure.

Yes, Mother Lin has no children and has depended on the original owner for so many years. She has done so much for the original owner. Now that she has taken possession of the original owner's body, she should repay her on behalf of the original owner.

But Lin Ma's good-natured personality makes her unsuitable for being with me.

Ai Shutong admitted that she was a selfish person. Between helping others and saving herself, she would undoubtedly choose the latter.

The original owner had been in a state of dementia for many years, and had grown up healthily only thanks to the care of Mother Lin. If I just left like this, I would definitely live in guilt for the rest of my life.

The tangled Ai Shutong waited for Meng Bailu.

"Miss Ai, don't worry. The doctor said that as long as Mama Lin takes good rest, she will recover."

Ai Shutong looked at this beautiful young college student and finally felt better. "I understand. Thank you for taking care of Mother Lin."

Meng Bailu waved her hands, "This is what I should do."

Ai Shutong took out two dollars and handed them to her, "Please cook bone soup for Aunt Lin these days."

Meng Bailu did not answer. "Miss Ai, the normal wage for a helper is fifty cents a day. My wage is one dollar a day, which includes the patient's food expenses. I cannot accept this money."

Ai Shutong was about to persuade her again, but unexpectedly Meng Bailu turned and ran away.

After running for more than ten meters, she turned around and said, "Don't worry, Miss Ai, I will do my best to take care of Mother Lin."

After saying that, he ran downstairs.

Ai Shutong looked at the watch. It was already eleven o'clock. It was time to prepare lunch for Lin's mother.

After kicking the pocket watch back into her arms, Ai Shutong returned to the ward, "Mother Lin, what do you think of Meng Bailu?"

Mother Lin nodded slightly, "That girl is very nice. She doesn't mind my dirtiness and takes good care of me."

Ai Shutong nodded, "Okay, then use her and don't change her. If she does something wrong and makes you uncomfortable, tell me and we'll find another helper."

After hearing this, Mother Lin's eyes welled up with tears. "Miss, I'm so useless. I always drag you down."

Ai Shutong felt that Lin's mother was not in a good state. She was timid and sensitive to begin with, and this stressful incident had caused her too much psychological stimulation, which might have caused her psychological problems.

But Ai Shutong really doesn’t know whether there are psychologists in this era and where to find one.

She sighed again in her heart, and only time could slowly heal Lin Ma's psychological trauma.

"Mother Lin, don't worry too much. People will get sick and be hospitalized in their lifetime. This is normal. Be strong. You will be discharged soon. I will come to pick you up and take you home, okay?"

When Lin's mother heard that Ai Shutong would take her back, she felt much more at ease. She nodded and said "OK" while crying.

After leaving the hospital, Ai Shutong hailed a rickshaw and went back to her former residence.

When I got home, I entered the house, closed the door, and went straight to bed to sleep without even changing my clothes.

Her mind has been in a mess recently. She hasn't had enough rest and feels very tired.

Today in the hospital, I decided to wait until Mother Lin got better, make arrangements for her, and then run away, which invisibly increased my own pressure.

I am so tired, so mentally exhausted!

When I woke up, it was already dusk. The big red sun was emitting orange light that seeped in through the half-open window.

Ai Shutong stretched her arms and took a deep breath, "It feels so good!"

Suddenly my stomach started to growl.

"Oh! I forgot to eat lunch."

Ai Shutong took a dollar and swaggered into a small restaurant on Yongxing Street, the same one she went to the first time she went out.

The middle-aged woman who was cleaning the table was still wearing a purple coat. When she saw Ai Shutong come in, she smiled and said, "Miss, what would you like to eat?"

Ai Shutong: "One stir-fried vegetable dish, one braised liver tip, and two bowls of beef noodles, to go."

The middle-aged woman didn't recognize Ai Shutong as the girl in the sack last time.

"okay!"

She took the food she had bought and went straight back to the east courtyard kitchen. Knowing that Old Li would not eat at the same table with her, Ai Shutong took the plate and picked up some dishes.

The remaining dishes and a bowl of noodles were sent to Old Li in the concierge.

These days, Lin's mother is not around, and Ai Shutong and Old Li don't know how to cook, so whoever gets hungry first goes out to buy food.

Shen Jiaxing came back, went to the east courtyard and knocked on the door of the main house.

Ai Shutong's clear voice came from inside immediately, "The door is not locked, come in."

Looking up, she saw Shen Jiaxing. Ai Shutong teased, "Ever since Lin's mother was hospitalized, Teacher Shen has been coming later and later."

The subtext is that when Lin's mother cooked before, Shen Jiaxing always arrived early and never missed a meal.

Now that Lin's mother is in the hospital, there is no one to cook, so Shen Jiaxing comes out later and later.

Shen Jiaxing tapped her head with the sandalwood fan in his hand in a funny way, "Do you still want the fan?"

Ai Shutong's eyes lit up and she reached out to grab it. "Is it for me?"

As he spoke, he opened the fan and fanned himself.

Shen Jiaxing: "Mary gave it to you. Allen asked me to do something today, so I brought it to you specially."

Ai Shutong immediately shifted her attention away from the fan, "What do you want?"

Shen Jiaxing: "He asked me to help translate some documents. He is now the general manager of a British-owned foreign company. He had found several translators before, but none of them satisfied him."

Ai Shutong was delighted and pretended to say, "Teacher Shen, you are usually so busy, and you still have to help your friends translate documents. Isn't it too tiring?"

Shen Jiaxing pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly, "Yes, I have a day at school tomorrow, and I have to teach you in the evening."

"It seems I have to get up in the early morning and translate by candlelight."

Ai Shutong said at the right time, "Teacher Shen, do you want me to try a simple file?"
