That day, after returning to the educated youth settlement, Shen Mu Ning steamed the rice and went to the backyard to pick vegetables.
She usually doesn't close the door at this time, mainly because everyone here is a former educated youth and has a relatively high level of civility.
Moreover, at this time, all the educated youth were present, and no one would enter someone else's room when it would be easy to be discovered.
At this moment, He Xiaolan took advantage of the fact that everyone was either cooking or washing up.
Quietly, she pushed open Shen Mu Ning's door and went inside.
He Xiaolan looked at the brand-new furniture in Shen Mu Ning's room, as well as the things that could only be bought with industrial coupons.
My heart ached with envy. How could Shen Mu Ning, a sent-down youth from an ordinary family, have so many good things?
He Xiaolan looked at the small wooden box in her hand, a cruel smile playing on her lips.
It doesn't matter. No matter how well Shen Mu Ning lived before, she will only be a country woman in the future.
He Xiaolan scanned the room and placed the wooden box in her hand on the top shelf of the large wooden frame made by Shen Mu Ning.
She then quietly slipped out. Just as she reached the well, Lin Siqi opened her door, preparing to come out and pour water.
Lin Siqi looked at He Xiaolan in confusion, "Xiaolan, what are you doing?"
He Xiaolan was startled by Lin Siqi's sudden voice and said loudly, "I didn't do anything."
This was the first time He Xiaolan had done something so wrong, and she couldn't hide her guilty conscience at all.
If it were Lin Siqi from her past life, she definitely wouldn't have been able to see through He Xiaolan's guilty conscience.
But Lin Siqi has been working in the business world for over a decade now, so how could she not see through He Xiaolan's ulterior motives?
"Why didn't you wash up? What are you doing outside?"
Lin Siqi didn't point it out; she saw He Xiaolan walk out of Shen Mu Ning's room.
He Xiaolan suppressed her rapidly beating heart, which was aroused by Lin Siqi's suspicion.
He held up the basin in his hand and showed it to Lin Siqi, saying, "I'm just adding some cold water to dilute it."
Lin Siqi nodded casually, as if she no longer doubted He Xiaolan.
He Xiaolan thought she had fooled Lin Siqi and quickly walked back to her dormitory.
When Shen Mu Ning returned after picking the vegetables, she saw Lin Si Qi standing at the door of her room, about to go eat.
She whispered to Shen Mu Ning as Shen Mu Ning passed by.
“I just saw He Xiaolan walk towards your room. I don’t know what she did. Please come in and check.”
As the two passed each other, Shen Mu Ning noticed that He Xiao Lan was standing at the door of their dormitory, looking like she was about to walk to the restaurant.
So she didn't say anything, but just nodded slightly to Lin Siqi.
Afterwards, Shen Mu Ning, as usual, fetched a bucket of water and washed the vegetables.
He Xiaolan had been standing there because she was afraid that Lin Siqi would still suspect her and tell Shen Mu Ning.
But she noticed that Lin Siqi hadn't spoken to Shen Muning just now.
Shen Mu Ning probably didn't notice anything unusual in her room, otherwise she wouldn't be washing vegetables so quietly.
Only then did He Xiaolan feel relieved.
Having finally completed the task Cao Jin had entrusted to her, Shen Mu Ning would soon marry Cao Jin in a disgraceful manner.
Not only did I get another sum of money, but I also got rid of this person I didn't like. It was incredibly satisfying.
He Xiaolan desperately suppressed the urge to smile. The matter hadn't been exposed yet, so she had to hold back and not laugh.
What He Xiaolan didn't know was that after hearing what Lin Siqi said, Shen Mu Ning knew that something had been added to her room.
I also got to enjoy He Xiaolan's dramatic face-changing performance, as she tried hard to suppress her joy and contorted her face into a ferocious expression.
Seeing Shen Mu Ning unable to contain her joy, Shen Mu Ning couldn't help but scoff inwardly.
He Xiaolan, I'm giving you a chance to let you go because you didn't do anything too serious before.
Moreover, I wanted to see you get punished by Lin Siqi, so you were able to escape unscathed.
Now that they've actually tried to scheme against me, I guess I'll just have to let them experience what it feels like to be slapped in the face beforehand.
Since you're so eager to tie me to Cao Jin, then you'll have to suffer the consequences yourself.
Shen Muling made up her mind about He Xiaolan's fate.
But something seems a little off. Why does this ending look a bit like her being dealt with by the female lead, Lin Siqi?
No, I can't compete with Lin Siqi for the chance to torment others.
Otherwise, it would be very inconvenient for Lin Siqi to try and get information out of her later.
Let's try another one then. Hmm, I'm so kind.
Shen Mu Ning slowly returned to her room and put down the dishes she was holding.
Then, at the top of the wooden shelf, on the side closest to the wall, she took out the extra wooden box from her room and took a look at it.
To be honest, He Xiaolan is really a genius at hiding things.
If it weren't for my mental strength, now wouldn't be the time to hoard goods.
You might not even notice this for a long time.
This wooden box contains several love letters and some loose banknotes.
Shen Mu Ning counted the money; it totaled fifty yuan.
The tickets were mostly sugar coupons and grain coupons.
Although these things are a small amount compared to Shen Mu Ning's savings, they might only amount to this much money in a year for people in the countryside.
Shen Mu Ning quietly put the items into her spatial storage. It seems that Cao Jin will also have love letters written in her own voice.
It's unclear whether Cao Jin forged it or He Xiaolan wrote it.
But it doesn't matter which one it is, since they've never seen their own handwriting anyway.
Therefore, there is no question of imitation. When Cao Jin takes out the love letter, his lies will be exposed as soon as he writes it.
Shen Muling didn't know when Cao Jin planned to expose this matter, so she didn't have a definite way to deal with it yet.
