Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Ai Shutong quickly chose two coats because she had to go to the hospital to pick up Lin's mother.

After leaving the house, Ai Shutong still felt pain in her heart. The things in this foreign company were too expensive, and her wallet was suddenly empty.

I'd better go to the tailor shop next time!

No, you shouldn't think like that.

I still like the clothes from foreign companies more.

You should think about increasing revenue rather than cutting costs.

Ai Shutong clenched her fists, thinking that she should work harder in order to achieve financial freedom in the future.

Arriving at the hospital, Ai Shutong went straight to Lin's mother's ward on the second floor, "Lin's mother, why are you up? Sit down quickly."

"It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. You have to take good care of it. Otherwise, you will suffer from a chronic disease in the future."

When Mother Lin saw Ai Shutong, she felt relieved.

She got up early, and Meng Bailu also came early and gave her a good beating.

But after she had packed up, she still couldn't see the young lady, so she started to panic and started to worry about all kinds of things.

First I thought, is there anything wrong with the young lady? Then I thought, is there anything wrong with the young lady?

The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became. She really couldn't stay in the hospital bed any longer. Ignoring Meng Bailu's attempts to stop her, she stood at the door and looked out.

"Don't worry, Miss Ai, I'm supporting Mother Lin! She'll be fine as long as she doesn't use force on her right leg." Meng Bailu said to Ai Shutong with a smile.

Ai Shutong nodded and thanked her: "Thank you, Bailu, thanks to you for taking care of Mother Lin these days."

Meng Bailu waved her hand quickly, "Miss Ai, you're welcome. This is what I should do."

Ai Shutong exchanged a few more pleasantries with her, and seeing that Mother Lin looked anxious, she sighed secretly, "Bai Lu, stay with Mother Lin for a while. I'll go ask the doctor if there's anything else."

Meng Bailu nodded and said "OK".

Ai Shutong turned around and went to find Dr. Bai, who was in charge of Lin's mother.

Dr. Bai is a top student who graduated from Peking University and has been working for two years.

He is just in his early twenties, looks handsome, and is very popular among the female nurses in the hospital.

Arriving outside of Dr. Bai's office, Ai Shutong knocked on the door, and a gentle male voice came from inside, "Come in."

Ai Shutong pushed the door open and said with a smile, "Hello, Doctor Bai. Mother Lin is being discharged from the hospital today. I want to ask if there are any other procedures to be completed."

When Doctor Bai saw that it was Ai Shutong, he said politely, "Don't worry, Miss Ai. Meng Bailu has already helped to arrange it in advance and paid some of the medical expenses."

Ai Shutong said quickly: "Okay, I'll give it back to her later."

"What should Mother Lin pay attention to after we go back?"

Doctor Bai: "During the medication period, avoid eating raw, cold or spicy food. Bring her to remove the plaster in a month."

After Ai Shutong carefully wrote it down, she asked, "Anything else?"

Doctor Bai pondered for a while and said, "Don't work in the fields for the next two months. Stay in bed and rest, otherwise your bones will not grow properly."

Ai Shutong knew this even without being told, but she still thanked him.

Back in Lin's mother's ward, Ai Shutong expressed her gratitude to Meng Bailu again and returned the money she had paid in advance.

Meng Bailu said a few polite words and accepted it.

Ai Shutong breathed a sigh of relief. She was afraid that Meng Bailu would not want the two dollars!

Then she owed her a favor. Money is easy to repay, but favors are hard to repay.

Next, Meng Bailu helped carry the luggage, and Ai Shutong helped Lin Ma get on the rickshaw.

After the two of them waved goodbye to Meng Bailu, Ai Shutong said to the driver, "Let's go!"

When they returned to Qianduju, it was already past midnight. When Old Li saw them coming back, he hurried forward to help with their luggage.

Ai Shutong carefully helped Lin Ma get off the rickshaw, "Slow down, Lin Ma, I'll help you back to the house."

He turned around and said to Old Li next to him, "Let's go buy some food later. We can talk it out. Ask for an extra bowl of bone soup for Aunt Lin."

Old Li nodded and followed the two people back to the east courtyard.

Mother Lin lay on the bed and asked, "Is this how you two have been getting by these days?"

Ai Shutong nodded, "Yes! There are many restaurants in Yongxing Street. If our family gets tired of eating here, we can just go to another one."

After hearing this, Mother Lin suddenly felt relieved. It seemed that they really couldn't do without her. But she said disdainfully, "The food outside is not clean and tastes average. It's not something a young lady can eat. I'll go find E Nahai tomorrow and ask her to come over to cook for you and clean the house."

Ai Shutong pondered and said, "Is she available?"

Mother Lin: "Xiao Yuge goes to the foreign school during the day, and she has nothing to do at home alone, so how can it be inconvenient?! It's settled."

Ai Shutong saw that Lin's mother's spirits suddenly improved. Although she didn't know why, she still didn't refuse her kindness and nodded in agreement.

It’s true that E’nahai’s cooking is indeed better than that of the small restaurants outside. Since she came here to cook, Shen Jiaxing has resumed his habit of eating for free.

Ai Shutong didn't care. Not to mention that he only ate here during class, even if he ate here all the time, his food expenses would not exceed fifteen yuan a month. No matter how he calculated it, he would not suffer any loss.

After some days, the beginning of winter arrived.

Mother Lin could not sit still. Although her legs were broken, her hands were in good condition. Every day she either embroidered or made clothes for Ai Shutong.

"You are destined to be a hard worker! Your leg is injured so badly, but you still don't know how to take the opportunity to be lazy for a few days." E'nahai was picking vegetables while chatting with Lin's mother.

Mother Lin was sitting on the recliner that Ai Shutong had bought for her, with a small quilt behind her, making clothes.

"My young lady has grown a lot in the past six months. She can no longer wear her old clothes. The weather is getting colder. I have to make her some thick clothes quickly."

Eonahai: "You are not afraid of being blinded by the bright sun when you make clothes under it."

"If I were you, I would definitely take this opportunity to rest. Without you, will your young lady be frozen through the winter? I don't believe it!"

Mother Lin glared at her and said, "Don't compare yourself to me. You are so lazy every day."

Eonahai: "I'm still lazy? I cook for you and do housework every day for only 50 cents a day, and I'm still lazy?"

Mother Lin: "Oh! Do you think 50 cents is too little?"

"If you make fifty cents a day, that's fifteen dollars a month."

"The work in Liu's tailor shop only makes six dollars a month. You make twice as much as he does, and you're still not satisfied?"

"If you're not satisfied, then stop doing it. I'll find someone else."

Seeing that the words were spoken quickly, Mother Lin was unhappy, and she quickly said, "No, if you do this, I don't trust others to take care of you. What if you meet someone with bad intentions and they harm you?"

"Let me do it. It's okay for me to work harder for you."

Mother Lin smiled and pointed at her, "You old woman, you are so cunning!"

Eonahai: "Why am I so cunning?! When I was a child, my mother always said that if I had half the cunningness of you, she wouldn't worry so much."

The two were chatting in the yard while Ai Shutong was translating documents in the house.
