After the aunties finished talking about this, they all felt a little heavy-hearted and had no more interest in gossiping. They all hurried off to work in the fields.
Shen Mu Ning followed suit and got up with the aunties.
Shen Mu Ning felt a little tired when she heard the news. She had thought that by ignoring Cao Jin's pursuit, she could avoid his schemes.
Or she could simply demonstrate her power to him, and Cao Jin might back down.
But now it seems a bit difficult to change his mind.
Even if she beat him up and made him feel the pain, he could still use the Red Letter soldiers to take revenge on her.
Although the high-ranking soldiers might look down on this paltry sum, there are plenty of lowly underlings below them.
As long as Cao Jin explains to them that there's money to be made here, or simply brings out what he obtained before, plenty of people will come to make this trip.
If you or anyone else in the educated youth settlement does anything even slightly wrong, you will definitely face being sent to an even more arduous farm for "re-education."
It seems that until a way can eliminate all dangers is found, I cannot be too forceful in refusing Cao Jin.
"Xiao Shen, what are you thinking about?" Shen Mu Ning was preoccupied with something and couldn't concentrate on her work.
Li Guihua immediately noticed it.
Shen Mu Ning stood up, tidied her hair which had become disheveled from frying potatoes, and said to Li Guihua, "It's nothing, Auntie, I was just thinking about what to have for lunch."
Li Guihua chuckled upon hearing this. "He really is a child. He's only just started working and he's already thinking about lunch."
"Xiao Shen, I do like you, my well-behaved and sweet daughter."
“I was thinking of introducing you to someone, but after hearing what you just said, I realized you’re still quite young.”
"At only fifteen years old, it is indeed a bit young. It's not too late to consider this matter in two years."
"Yes, Auntie, that's what I think too. I haven't even figured out my own life yet, so there's no rush to get married," Shen Mu Ning said shyly.
Shen Mu Ning couldn't help but think to herself: What do you mean by introducing me to someone? You just want to lure me into your home.
Luckily, I was quick-witted and shut up the aunties who wanted to arrange a marriage for me by saying I was too young.
Fortunately, this body is young; otherwise, the interface wouldn't work properly when it turns seventeen or eighteen.
Even if I say I'm not looking for a partner for the time being, people will still try to introduce me to someone under the pretext of paying off my debts.
"Well, since that's really what you think, then your auntie has to remind you."
We were just talking about Cao Jin, and everyone's been speculating about why he came back.
The reason is probably already clear to everyone, but they don't have a deep relationship with Xiao Shen.
In addition, hearing that he was working under the Red Guards, I felt a bit of pressure, so I didn't continue the conversation.
However, as the wife of the brigade leader, and knowing that the newly arrived educated youth were relatively well-behaved and hadn't caused any trouble, she was able to manage the situation.
As for He Xiaolan, she was as pretentious as ever and didn't work properly.
However, at most, her actions will only cause her to go hungry, and will not have any impact on the Johor Bahru brigade.
Moreover, she genuinely liked Shen Mu Ning, so she didn't hesitate to offer a reminder.
“Although Cao Jin had been working outside before, he had never been away from the brigade for such a long time as this year.”
"It was quite a scandal in the brigade. Cao Jin had taken a fancy to a female educated youth. In the end, the girl's parents came to pick her up and beat Cao Jin up to vent their anger."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mu Ning nodded seriously, as she already knew about this from the novel's plot.
She thought it was a scandal in the brigade, so Aunt Guihua wouldn't tell her.
Therefore, she never expected that Aunt Guihua would tell her directly.
"I think the reason he's back now is probably because he heard that there are new educated youth going to the countryside again."
"Moreover, his parents, Cao Dashan and Chen Zhaodi, are selfish and greedy villains. Now, among you three female educated youths, two of you seem to be very wealthy."
“And you have an outstanding advantage—you are capable, so I suspect that Cao Jin was targeting you and that educated youth Lin when he joined the brigade.”
Li Guihua said earnestly, "You and Xiao Lin, the educated youth, must be careful not to fall into his trap of sweet words."
"You should never be alone. If you can stick together, never be alone."
Although the people of Xinshan Brigade are simple and honest, there has never been any case of forcibly taking female educated youths.
But she had heard Gu Chengde say that some brigades had done some very sordid things in order to find educated youth to marry into their families.
If a female educated youth did something that would damage her reputation, she would inevitably be criticized and eventually forced to marry someone of lower social standing.
That's why she specifically reminded Shen Mu Ning to be careful of Cao Jin.
"I understand, Auntie, thank you for reminding me." Shen Mu Ning nodded seriously and thanked her.
Li Guihua did indeed have great good intentions in telling her about Cao Jin's situation and even reminding her and Lin Siqi not to be alone.
Hearing Li Guihua's words, Shen Muling realized that her view on this matter was also blind.
For example, she never considered that Cao Jin's target might not be her.
Or, if you fail with her, could you change your target and switch to Lin Siqi or someone else?
Like her, Lin Siqi displayed her wealth as soon as she arrived at the brigade.
Although she wasn't as efficient at working as her, as someone who had been reborn, she was gradually adapting to the current intensity of the work.
Moreover, she has a positive attitude, and now she can earn six work points almost every day.
Therefore, Lin Siqi could also become Cao Jin's target.
As for the other people at the educated youth settlement, they were all people who knew about Cao Jin's past deeds.
They probably wouldn't want to have anything to do with Cao Jin as supervisors, but if Cao Jin uses underhanded tactics to scheme against them...
Therefore, their precautions were no match for Cao Jin.
So now that Cao Jin has returned to the brigade, it's not just Shen Mu Ning's problem anymore.
She also had to remind the other female educated youth at the settlement to pay attention to Cao Jin in the near future.
We must also tell everyone at the educated youth settlement that Cao Jin was working under the Red Guards.
So that if Cao Jin really used the Red Letter Soldiers to deal with them, they would be caught off guard and unprepared.
After figuring out the general direction of the situation, Shen Mu Ning let out a long sigh.
How could something I thought was a little bit of fun involve so many people?
If Cao Jin's only target is himself, then even if he can't be dealt with immediately.
She can also ensure that she can escape unscathed even if Cao Jin pursues or schemes against her.
But with so many people involved, especially the female educated youth who were particularly concerned about their reputation, she felt a little frustrated.
I wonder if they can actually handle it.
Shen Mu Ning made up her mind to remind all the female educated youths at noon.
In the evening, all the educated youth were asked to conduct a self-check to see if they had any prohibited books or items.
If so, deal with it as soon as possible to avoid leaving any potential problems.
Shen Mu Ning knew that thinking too much now was pointless, so she could focus on her work.
