Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

But Ai Shutong didn't want to go back to school to study.

Now that she was free and had enough food and drink, she wanted to do something for other people.

There are too few job opportunities for women in this era. They are persecuted and despised, but they do not have the courage to resist.

She wanted to do what she could for them.

Ai Shutong: "I can start my own business like you, so I don't need a degree!"

Li Maili neither confirmed nor denied it. He looked at her seriously and said, "Doing business requires connections."

"When I was young, I followed my father and came into contact with many foreign upper-class people."

"This has allowed me to accumulate a lot of connections, and my business has been much smoother than others."

"This era is not good for me, but it is the best era for you!"

“You have the opportunity to go to school, learn knowledge, and build connections, so why not take it?!”

Li Maili was worthy of being a former minister, and his words were both sincere and tempting.

Ai Shutong didn't want to refute from the bottom of her heart.

But she really doesn't want to waste too much time in school. "The management of the girls' school is too strict, and there are too many classes every day. I don't have much private time to do what I like!"

Li Maili: "I understand that your grades are very good. Are you confident about the college entrance examination?"

Ai Shutong nodded: "I am good at English and Russian. If I take the exams on these two subjects, I should have no problem getting into university."

Li Maili nodded. "I don't know much about this. I'll find you a tutor and ask him to make a comprehensive study plan for you."

After the matter was settled, Li Maili left with the account books for that period of time.

He also had a small Western-style house in the French Concession, and he stayed there every time he came to Shanghai.

Two Ford cars drove along Xiafei Road deep into the concession.

There are cafes and new-style bakeries on Xiafei Road, and the towering plane trees on both sides bear witness to the tremendous changes that have taken place here over the past few decades.

The car stopped in front of a villa planted with lilac flowers.

A French woman in a high-waisted skirt with translucent fabric on her upper body quickly crossed the hallway and ran out of the villa.

In fluent English, he said, "My dear, you are finally here. I made foie gras and red wine pheasant for you."

The servant opened the car door for Li Maili. When Li Maili saw the French woman, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes from smiling were enough to kill mosquitoes.

"Yina, you are still so beautiful and lively."

The two hugged each other and kissed each other intimately.

"What shall we drink at noon?"

Ina's father is a big French wine merchant and also Li Maili's partner.

Ina looked up at him proudly, "There is my favorite wine, and there is your favorite brandy."

Li Maili hugged her and walked into the house, "I can't wait to try it."

The two hadn't seen each other for a long time. After dinner, they went back to their room and were naturally affectionate.

Afterwards, Ina, wearing her pajamas, gave Li Maili a full body massage.

Li Maili, whose eyelids had drooped, suddenly opened his eyes again.

"Yina, I have a niece who has come to Shanghai and lives in a house in Xujiahui."

Ina stopped what she was doing immediately, "Honey, do you want to take me to see her?"

Li Maili: "No, according to Chinese etiquette, she should come to see you."

Ina said worriedly, "Will she dislike me?"

Li Maili sneered, "You don't have to worry about these. If you get along well, then spend more time together. If you don't, then spend less time together."

"Don't worry! I will definitely stand on your side!"

Ina then regained her smile, "Honey, I know you are the best to me!"

On the other side, No. 15 Zhaoqingbang.

Ai Shutong has been writing a novel in the study for more than two hours.

The control group novel that I started in Beijing was finally completed today.

Li Yingying's husband Zhao Mo fell in love with the modern woman Ye Xin. In order to marry Ye Xin, he had to divorce Li Yingying.

Li Yingying had no choice but to seek help from her parents' family. In order to prevent her from being divorced, her parents agreed to let Zhao Mo marry Ye Xin as his co-wife and gave Li Yingying's dowry.

Zhao Mo agreed reluctantly.

But the good times didn't last long. In less than a year, Ye Xin gave birth to a son.

Zhao Mo divorced Li Yingying on the grounds that she had no children for many years, drove her out of the Zhao Mansion, and instead made Ye Xin his wife.

Li Yingying's parents thought she was shameful and refused to take her in. As a woman with bound feet, she could not find a job and eventually died tragically on the street in the cold winter.

Another female lead, Zhang Sanya, came to the big city with an aunt from the village and started working as a laundry worker to make a living.

Later, he found a kind family to work as a servant.

In her spare time, she learned to read and write from the young lady of her employer's family.

A few years later, she took the exam for Women's Normal School and was successfully admitted.

After graduation, I found a job as a teacher in a private elementary school, earning 35 yuan a month.

When she was in school, she still did not forget to study hard, and eventually got admitted to university. After graduation, she returned to the elementary school and became the principal, with a salary of 80 yuan.

Later, I met a like-minded partner, and achieved success in both work and love, with a happy ending.

Ai Shutong wrote more than 500,000 words for this novel.

She finally finished writing today, and immediately took out the envelope she had prepared in advance and put the contents of the first three chapters into it.

Only then did she realize that she could not use the name Ai Shutong, as the name Li Qiuying had no registered residence. She thought for a while and turned to find Xia Yu.

After the two discussed it, Ai Shutong decided to give herself a pen name - Empty Joy.

And he wrote at the end that his real name was Xia Yu.

In this way, if the royalties are paid, Xia Yu's household registration can be used to withdraw cash.

All is ready except for the opportunity.

That day, Ai Shutong urged Xia Yu to deliver the envelope to the post office.

September 4rd was a sunny day.

Ai Shutong was reading a newspaper in the study when there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!"

She raised her voice.

"Miss, your letter." Xia Yu walked in with a letter.

Ai Shutong was very happy, she felt that her novel must have been approved.

"Give it to me quickly!"

She took the envelope from Xia Yu's hand and took a look. It was indeed a letter from the Daily News that she had delivered.

She opened the letter while smiling.

Xia Yu noticed that the young lady's complexion was getting worse and worse, and soon her expression changed from joy to anger!

"Hate!"

The lady threw the letter in her hand heavily onto the table.

Xia Yu quickly comforted her, "Miss, calm down. There are so many newspapers in Shanghai. If this one doesn't accept your article, we can find another one!"

Ai Shutong: "This guy who calls himself Editor Chen said that the subject matter of my novel is novel, but the writing is not good enough!"

"He wants to buy out my novel with money, and he'll adapt it and publish it in the newspaper!"

"Weird things happen every year, especially this year!"

Xia Yu: "What does the lady think?"

Ai Shutong: "I don't want to sell it. I'm afraid he will change my novel beyond recognition, which would go against my original intention!"
