"If you ask me, Shen and Chu are really good people."

Seeing that the two of them had taken half of the spare ribs, everyone sighed with emotion.

"Yes, look at the meat that Chu, the educated youth, took away, it was all pork belly."

"That's right. In the past, whoever got to take it first always got the best cuts, and what was left for us wasn't any good meat."

However, there were also some unpleasant comments mixed in.

Those who wanted to take advantage of the situation but were turned away by the captain were able to take advantage of the chaos.

"However, these two educated youths really don't know how to manage their lives."

"Who can argue with that? Especially the educated youth, they just kept picking up the spare ribs."

"If any family marries her, they'll have to teach her how to manage a household properly."

Faced with Shen Mu Ning's current behavior, some families who previously thought she was a good daughter-in-law candidate have now rejected her.

After all, they wanted to marry her and settle down, and with their limited resources, they simply couldn't support her.

Shen Mu Ning, who was standing up and watching everyone draw lots to distribute the meat, heard everything everyone said.

I glanced at the families who said she wasn't good at managing a household, and it seemed like their lives weren't doing so well.

So they're just being sour grapes.

Fortunately, these families knew to keep quiet and didn't say much when they went up to draw lots.

Otherwise, Shen Mu Ning would definitely make them experience what it means to have a duck that's about to be eaten fly away.

During the subsequent distribution of the meat, no one caused any more trouble.

After the draw, he quickly transferred his work points to accountant Cao Hua and assigned them to Shen Mu Ning and Chu Ming Xu.

The person in charge, Zhu Yang, was the one who brought the educated youth to draw lots.

As he stepped forward, he teased the two, "I never expected Mingxu and Shen Zhiqing to be so capable!"

Although his expression seemed normal when he said this.

But the moment he lowered his head, Shen Mu Ning's mental power still caught the suspicion in his eyes.

Combined with his meaningful and suggestive remarks at noon, it made her even more suspicious.

Since she arrived at the Johor Bahru brigade, things have become increasingly complicated.

She could still find clues about Lin Siqi's previous feud with He Xiaolan and the Cao Jin incident in the original novel.

However, the antique incident she is now encountering only has one ending in the novel: all the Red Letter Soldiers are arrested.

It does not specify whether their imprisonment was related to the antique incident, nor does it specify who was behind it.

As for Zhu Yang's current behavior, it's completely out of step with the plot.

In the novel, he is always portrayed as a responsible and fair figure, a far cry from his behavior today.

He only exists in the Xinshan Brigade in the novel, and there are no more descriptions of him after the college entrance examination.

Although she knew his current behavior was suspicious, she had very little relevant information.

His true identity and purpose for coming to the Xinshan Brigade were unknown.

Therefore, I can only keep an eye on his movements at all times. Only when he makes a move will I have a chance to find out the truth.

"Hey, what can we do? It's just that this wild boar was trapped in the snare, which took a lot of its energy."

"That's why we killed him; we just happened to pick up the pieces."

Since we know very little about Zhu Yang, we cannot reveal too much of our own strength.

Anyway, the only people present at the time were her, Chu Mingxu, and Zhang Jiayang. As long as the three of them gave the same story, the news wouldn't be leaked.

"Really? I was thinking that you two are really not what they seem, and that you can't judge a book by its cover. You don't look like you're that capable at all."

Although Shen Mu Ning had practiced martial arts in the courtyard before, no one had ever experienced her fighting prowess.

Furthermore, she later switched to practicing online, so everyone naturally assumed that her training had stopped.

So in his mind, she was nothing more than someone with brute strength who couldn't even stick to basic training.

The initial suspicions about her gradually faded as her behavior remained completely normal.

However, she was able to quickly extricate herself from the incident in which Cao Jin slandered her, and then went to the county town for two consecutive days.

This drew his attention back to her, and he continued to suspect her identity.

As for Chu Mingxu, he was indeed startled when Chu first arrived at the Xinshan Brigade.

After all, he could tell that he had served in the military and was not just anyone.

However, after some investigation, he discovered that the real reason he was there was to take care of an elderly couple in the cowshed.

Although Chu Mingxu was very vigilant, he still had powerful connections above him.

If we can't investigate here, we can always call for outside help and have someone else investigate.

Knowing that Chu Mingxu had been discharged from the army and gone to the countryside, she devoted herself to taking care of his grandparents.

All the letters were about his family, which is why he stopped doubting him.

Besides, he never showed off in the past, and the prey he usually hunted at the educated youth settlement was mostly wild rabbits and pheasants.

And today's momentous event must have been done by Shen Mu Ning.

Although the organization had said when they assigned him here that his identity was flawless.

But those in their line of work must be constantly vigilant in order to survive in the long run.

Moreover, he knew that once he was exposed, the organization would not come to his rescue; they would only hope that he would die soon.

After all, only the dead can truly keep a secret.

"Everyone knows how strong I am, so what's this about not judging a book by its cover?"

Shen Mu Ning and Chu Ming Xu were recognized as capable people by the educated youth and even the entire Quanshan Brigade, unlike him who was hiding his identity.

The conversation between the two seemed fine, but Chu Mingxu, with his remarkable insight, clearly sensed something was amiss.

However, one of them was a sent-down youth who had been in the Xinshan Brigade for six years and had always been responsible for the people in the sent-down youth settlement.

The other was a strong female educated youth who had been sent to the countryside for less than a month, but seemed to have a kind heart.

Aside from the things that all educated youth participated in, the two of them had almost no interaction.

So what's going on with the strange atmosphere and conversation between the two of them right now?

Zhu Yang and Shen Mu Ning's conversation ended there, but their entanglement had only just begun.

Zhu Yang wanted to investigate further to see if there were any issues with Shen Mu Ning's identity.

In the minds of both Shen Muling and Chu Mingxu, Zhu Yang was a question mark.

They would both then focus their attention on him, determined to find out the truth about his situation.

During the meat distribution, some families did draw ribs, spine, or pig's trotters, but they didn't want them, so they kept them.

According to the rules of their Johor Bahru brigade, if the person who handed over the prey wanted to keep the remaining items, they would belong to Shen Mu Ning and her companion.

But if they don't want to stay, they can exchange with someone from the main group.

Anyway, there's still a good market for things like pig's trotters.

Women who have just given birth need to use it to make soup to replenish their nutrition.

Of course, not every family is willing to buy this for a woman who has just given birth and make it at home.
