Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

The dormitory manager was of course also a woman, and Liu Wen politely called her, "Teacher Quan."

Teacher Quan asked Ai Shutong to register her information and then gave her a key.

After the two of them opened the dormitory, they saw two beds inside, and it was obvious that it was a double room.

Sure enough, Liu Wen introduced: "You are the third in the entrance examination. Our school has a major exam every quarter, which is three months. The top three will get free tuition and accommodation."

"But the free dormitories are double rooms. If you want a single room, you need to pay extra."

Ai Shutong instantly became curious, "How much does this double room cost for one quarter?"

Liu Wen smiled and said, "Four dollars."

Ai Shutong: "What about the single room?"

Liu Wen: "Eighty dollars."

Holy shit! Twenty times?! Are you kidding me!

Ai Shutong asked inexplicably, "What if we don't stay overnight?"

Liu Wen: "Our school is a closed-door teaching school. We encourage all students to live on campus."

"If students and parents really can't accept it, they can also apply for day school, but they still have to pay for accommodation."

If she really wants to stay in a hotel, Ai Shutong might want to try a single room.

However, Jin Hengshu did not allow the children of the Jin family to stay overnight, and would send a carriage to pick them up every morning and evening.

She was silent for a moment.

Liu Wen handed her a student uniform and asked her to change into it.

Ai Shutong took it and took a look. The top was a blue cloth jacket with a Chinese style slanting lapel and a stand-up collar.

The green skirt on the lower body is a Western-style pleated skirt.

After changing, Liu Wen led her to Zhongzhai.

Isa is an American with chestnut hair and blue eyes.

She greeted Ai Shutong warmly in English.

And gave her a class schedule.

At a glance, Chinese, algebra, English, mind-cultivation, the Bible, and Zizhi Tongjian...

A quick glance at the course schedule tells you that this school trains students based on that woman.

Ugh!

It’s hard to be a woman! It’s even harder to aspire to be a famous woman!

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

Li Yanran and Jin Minzhen did not come to the door.

Jin Hengshu suddenly turned into a loving father. In just one month, he ordered three custom-made clothes for Ai Shutong.

Once, he even sent someone to the Tianjin Concession to invite a foreign tailor to make four sets of clothes for her at once.

Looking at the closet full of beautiful clothes, Bai Guo sighed more than once, "It would be great if Miss's school didn't have dress code requirements."

Ai Shutong was wearing a moon-white western dress and looked at her with a smile on her face. Just as she was about to speak, Dongmei spoke first.

"Miss, you don't just go to school. When you have a break, wear such beautiful clothes and go out with your friends. How respectable!"

The smile on Ai Shutong's lips suddenly became a little far-fetched, "Can I go out and play?"

Dongmei: "Why not? Last time, the young lady went to Beijing Hotel to have dinner with Miss Mary!"

Ai Shutong drooped her eyelids and looked at the ground. After a few seconds, she tentatively said, "I have an elderly friend who lives on Yongxing Street. I haven't seen her for a long time. I want to go see her."

Dongmei didn't say anything else, but Baiguo said with a smile: "Then you can take a rest some other day, and I will accompany you to see her!"

After waiting for two minutes, I still didn't hear Dongmei speak.

Ai Shutong then raised her eyes and looked at Bai Guo, "Okay! Then it's settled!"

Sunday.

After breakfast, Ai Shutong changed into a newly made cheongsam, smoothed her long hair, and quickly braided it into a pigtail.

"Okay, let's go!"

Bai Guo followed Ai Shutong with a smile, chattering, "Miss, are we really going to take a rickshaw? To be honest, I've never taken one before!"

Ai Shutong: "Rickshaws are more convenient. We can call them whenever we need them. We don't need to find a place to park them, and the driver doesn't have to wait for us."

Bai Guo nodded in agreement, "That's true! So convenient!"

Ai Shutong: "Now many things are more convenient than before, such as telephones and trams, which greatly saves manpower and material resources."

"Have you ever ridden on a tram?"

Bai Guo shook his head fiercely, "I've never sat on it before!"

Ai Shutong: "Next time we have a break, I'll take you there!"

Bai Guo nodded happily, "Okay! Okay!"

While chatting with Bai Guo, Ai Shutong quickened her pace. As soon as she stepped through the hanging flower gate in the front yard, she saw Jin Hengsu standing at the door of the study.

As if something in her heart had been lifted, she secretly said, "As expected."

"Good morning, sir!"

Jin Hengshu looked at her lovingly, "Shutong, good morning! What are you going to do?"

Ai Shutong: "Go out and meet a friend."

Jin Hengshu: "Is she your classmate? Whose family is she from? Why don't you invite her to your home?"

Ai Shutong: "He was a friend before I came here, and he lived on Yongxing Street!"

Asking questions knowingly!

Since you insist on me saying it, I'll tell you!

Jin Hengshu deliberately frowned and said disapprovingly: "What is your current status?! Who on Yongxing Street could be worthy of being your friend?!"

Ai Shutong: "Oh? Am I some extraordinary person? How come I don't know?!"

Jin Hengshu pointed at her and said, "You are now a young lady of the Jin family. You must think twice before doing anything in the future. You must not bring shame to the Jin family!"

"Don't meet those inferior people anymore. Be good and obedient, and don't make me angry!"

Ai Shutong was very angry at his disdain, "You are a college student after all! Don't you know what it means to be humble when poor and humble when rich?!"

Jin Hengshu snorted coldly, "Don't give me that! I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice, and you still want to teach me a lesson?! Dream on!"

"Liu Shun, send two people to take the young lady back. She is not allowed to leave Chunyi Pavilion today. Send her to school early tomorrow morning!"

Ai Shutong knew this would be the result!

But she really couldn't bear not to fight for it!

Not long after she was escorted back to Chunyi Pavilion by the servants, Liu Shun came again with two servants.

In front of her, he wanted to take the white fruit away.

Ai Shutong yelled and rushed over, "What are you doing?!"

Liu Shun said expressionlessly: "The master ordered that Bai Guo should be punished with ten lashes for not serving the young lady well."

Ai Shutong was not convinced and said, "Come at me if you have the guts. Everyone has their own share of responsibility!"

Liu Shun: "Please forgive me for my lack of knowledge and ignorance of these principles."

"The master said that if the young lady made a mistake, it was because the maid did not do her job well. If she did her job well, the young lady would naturally not make mistakes."

"Since you didn't do it well, you have to accept the punishment."

"take away!"

The last sentence, of course, was said to the two servants.

Ai Shutong tried her best but failed to keep Bai Guo, and could only watch her being taken away by the messenger.

She collapsed to the ground helplessly and started crying.

This is the price of affection.

From the first day she came into this era, she had told herself not to act on her emotions.

She once thought about giving up even Lin Ma, who had given her original body maternal love, but in the end she couldn't harden her heart.
