Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Zheng Ruyue looked at Ai Shutong as if she were a monster. "Beiman Girls' High School was founded by an American church and they never accept students who fail the entrance exam."

"So you can't give it up just because you want to."

"You can choose not to study, but your sisters can't get in anyway."

Ai Shutong was a little surprised. She really didn't know. In her impression, before the founding of New China, there was no fairness at all and everything could be done privately.

What should I do about this matter? I have received benefits from Li Yanran.

Thinking about the furniture, porcelain, pots, pans and other items placed in the space, Ai Shutong could not convince herself to return them.

Or just pretend you don't know?

This is a great idea!

That’s it!

***

On the morning of the fourth day of July, Ai Shutong woke up late as expected.

At around 11 o'clock last night, Ai Shutong wanted to come back, but Jin Hengshu, who was in the mood for conversation, refused.

It was past twelve o'clock and most of the other guests at the party had left before Jin Hengsu was surrounded by several people and sent to the car.

Ai Shutong, who had taken a nap in the car, saw this scene and knew that he would be in a good mood for the next few days.

Well, he should be easy to talk to. Can I take this opportunity to make some requests? !

Ai Shutong got up and put on her clothes while thinking about it in her mind.

The rhythmic knocking on the door, "Knock, knock, knock", interrupted her thoughts.

"Come in."

The carved wooden door creaked open, and Bai Guo walked in carrying a tray. "Miss, it's past 9:00 p.m., are you hungry?"

Dongmei was holding a basin of water in the back, "Miss, I'll help you wash up first."

When the master went out in the morning, he had spared himself and Baiguo from being whipped, and asked them to take good care of the young lady. If they could make the young lady happy, they would be rewarded.

So, she had been waiting outside with Bai Guo early in the morning. When she heard some noise inside, she immediately asked Bai Guo to knock on the door.

In the following days, Ai Shutong lived a very comfortable life.

She took advantage of Jin Hengsu's good mood and mentioned the matter of subscribing to a newspaper. However, Jin Hengsu would not take such a small amount of money seriously.

He agreed with a wave of his hand, "Go find Liu Shun and ask him to arrange someone to order it for you. You should read more books at home before school starts."

This daughter is not only good friends with the ambassador's daughter, but also got admitted to Beiman Girls' High School with third place. So it seems that she is still useful.

There's no harm in giving a little favor.

But girls! It’s better to be chaste and quiet. Don’t run outside all the time, otherwise you’ll easily learn bad habits!

As soon as he started working at the Education Bureau, he heard that Deputy Director Cao's daughter had learned bad things outside.

Talking about gender equality and freedom of marriage all day long!

Huh! He said that it was those poor students outside who were always promoting new ideas and were corrupting her with their crooked ways.

Fortunately, my daughter was admitted to Beiman Girls' High School, which is an aristocratic school.

The students inside all have their own background and are all good kids who understand what is right.

Ai Shutong didn't care what Jin Hengsu thought, because she was the one who benefited.

She can read the novels in the "Bai Hua Wen Xin Bao" to kill time. She is so happy!

After reading a novel about a love story between a human and a ghost, Ai Shutong smacked her lips and said, "Oh! I didn't read enough!"

At this moment, an idea flashed through her mind and she thought that she could also write a novel!

Not only can you make money, but you can also add your new ideas to the novel and let readers receive it.

And then give voice to women!

After she came through, she was forced to stay in the house most of the time.

This situation is the norm in this era.

Although many people of noble character and lofty ideals are advocating gender equality.

But Ai Shutong in the 21st century knows clearly that the status of women in this era is too low.

Marx said that the economic base determines the superstructure.

Nowadays, many women can’t even leave their homes. Where do they get their economic foundation from?

So after thinking for two days, Ai Shutong decided to write a novel with a female protagonist.

She carefully selected two female protagonists to serve as a control group.

One was Li Yingying, a young lady from a wealthy family who was locked up in the backyard and had bound feet.

One is Zhang Sanya, a poor girl with big feet who came from a farming family.

The two people have different experiences and thoughts since childhood.

Li Yingying regards men as her heaven. She obeys her father at home and her husband after marriage. She marries Zhao Mo, a son of a noble family, with a large dowry.

Zhang Sanya grew up watching her lazy father vent his anger on her mother and beat her up from time to time, so she vowed never to marry a country man.

After Ai Shutong wrote five thousand words, she realized that she had no envelope or stamps and could not send the novel.

……

Well, let’s make some space first!

When the conditions permit in the future, I will take it out and send it away.

The day for Beiman Girls’ High School to start school is approaching, so I might as well pretend to be sick in advance and close the door to visitors!

Having made up her mind, Ai Shutong couldn't get out of bed the next day.

Bai Guo hurried to find Butler Liu, who waited until Jin Hengsu came back in the afternoon before reporting to him.

Jin Hengsu asked, what disease is it?

Butler Liu: "Maybe he caught a cold. He said he had a splitting headache and couldn't get out of bed."

Jin Hengsu frowned. Why did they have to do it at this time? Tomorrow is the enrollment time for Beiman Girls’ High School!

"Go find a doctor and have her look at."

The old doctor took the pulse slowly, his face thoughtful, and slowly said: "The year is dark with clouds and birds, the fire dragon is full and the fog is full. The young lady has strong heart fire and stagnation of qi in her heart. I will prescribe three doses of medicine."

Ai Shutong thought, one is not enough?! He actually needs three?! This old doctor is even more pretentious than me!

She felt that if she didn't show some expression, she would be outdone.

There’s nothing I can do. I’ve been so competitive since I was a child!

"Doctor, my head hurts so much and I feel weak all over. Am I going to die?"

Not only was her voice small, but it was also intermittent, as if every word she spoke was the last word in her life.

The old doctor raised his head and smoothed his gray beard, half tilting his head back and squinting his eyes, "Don't worry, young lady! My medical skills are well-known in Beijing. Even if you step into the gates of hell, I have a way to pull you back."

Ai Shutong thought to herself, you can obviously speak properly, why did you have to use classical Chinese just now? I hate classical Chinese the most.

If you want to ask why, I can only tell you that it’s because I don’t understand…

Bai Guo, who was standing by, had no idea that Ai Shutong was pretending. She turned pale with fright at the old doctor's words.

She didn’t understand the classical Chinese that the old doctor said before, but she understood the last sentence about the gate of hell!

Oh my god! The young lady has stepped into the gates of hell, how serious is this illness? !

After seeing off the old doctor, Bai Guo hurried to the front yard and found Butler Liu to report: "It's bad, it's bad, the young lady is dying!"

Liu Shun's small single eyes suddenly opened wide.

"Bai Guo, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"No matter what, she is the master's child. If the master finds out about this, he will whip you!"
