"Mu Ning, didn't we agree to finish work early today and go on a date? Otherwise, why would I dress up so nicely?"
Cao Jin looked wronged, frowning as if blaming Shen Mu Ning.
Shen Mu Ning took a deep breath, "When did you say we started dating?"
Upon hearing her question, Cao Jin immediately recited the explanation he had prepared beforehand.
"That's the day I confessed my feelings to you at the shaiba, and we got together that afternoon."
Shen Mu Ning thought about the time and realized that the first love letter was sent on that day. Cao Jin was quite well-prepared.
"What proof do you have? Have we been alone together since we got together?"
“There’s proof that we’ve never been alone together. You’re busy with work every day, aren’t you?”
Cao Jin knew he couldn't fabricate the lie that Shen Mu Ning had spent time alone with him.
Because Shen Mu Ning is with someone all the time except when she's sleeping at night.
What Cao Jin learned from He Xiaolan was that Shen Mu Ning generally didn't have any free time during the day, and she never went out alone.
"Really? So what kind of proof are you talking about?"
Shen Mu Ning got straight to the point: the core of Cao Jin's scheme this time was those love letters and the money.
Shen Mu Ning didn't want to beat around the bush with him and went straight to the point.
“After we confessed our feelings to each other,” he frowned and explained embarrassedly, “we wrote each other a love letter every day.”
"Love letters? How come I didn't know I wrote love letters?"
Chen Zhaodi looked at Shen Mu Ning, who still seemed calm and collected, and wished she could ruin her reputation immediately.
So she didn't wait for her son's signal and dropped the bomb directly.
"Why won't you admit it? The love letters you gave my son are still safely kept."
Chen Zhaodi looked at Shen Muning with the eyes one would give a heartless man, making Shen Muning exclaim, "What great acting!"
With acting skills like these two, the world owes them an Oscar.
In fact, Chen Zhaodi had long considered Shen Mu Ning as her son's possession, which is why she was so agitated when Shen Mu Ning denied it.
"Yes, Mu Ning, I have carefully kept those love letters. I can take them out for everyone to check."
Cao Jin's original intention was to bring out the forged evidence and let the people in the brigade check it, so that Shen Mu Ning could not escape.
Seeing Cao Jin's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, many people wavered.
"Judging from Cao Jin's expression, could it be that the two of them are really together?"
"Yes, if he dares to present the evidence directly, it doesn't seem like he's lying."
"Yes, the timeline is clear, and with love letters as evidence, it's solid proof."
Shen Mu Ning was so angry at Cao Jin's high-sounding demeanor that she burst out laughing.
"Alright, since you say you have evidence, then show it to us."
"Also, didn't you say you wrote something to me too? I don't admit to receiving anything from you."
“These past few days, when I’m at work, I’m right in front of all the uncles and aunts. At other times, I’m always surrounded by other educated youth from the educated youth settlement.”
"We haven't seen each other for the past two days, so I don't have time to give you any love letters."
When Shen Mu Ning mentioned it, everyone remembered that she was a corn carrier, so she was always under the watchful eyes of the villagers.
At this moment, a small group of people and the old man who had been drying corn leaves on the dam stood up to speak for Shen Mu Ning.
"Yes, Shen Zhiqing works very fast. He goes back and forth two or three times an hour. We all see it."
"That's right, she never slacks off when she's at work."
"Yeah, I haven't seen Cao Jin come here in the last few days."
Hearing the villagers testify for Shen Mu Ning, the educated youth also talked about Shen Mu Ning's situation after work.
“Every time we finished work, it was me, Chu, Shen and I who went back together. We never ran into Cao Jin on the way.”
The three of them were in the same team, doing the same work, and finished work at the same time.
Even though they hadn't arranged to walk together, the three of them were still traveling together.
"After Mu Ning goes back at noon and in the evening, she stays around us no matter what she's doing," Lin Siqi said, speaking up for Shen Mu Ning.
The others nodded in agreement when they heard Zhu Yang and Lin Siqi's words, indicating that Shen Mu Ning was telling the truth.
Now that Shen Mu Ning has been framed, how can they, as fellow educated youth, stand idly by?
Besides, they were telling the truth; it was just a matter of testifying.
If the gland helps Shen Mu Ning now, then when she encounters trouble in the future, someone will come to help her.
Although some of them had ulterior motives towards Shen Mu Ning, none of them were willing to ruin her.
He Xiaolan stood there, saying nothing.
He Xiaolan's lowered eyes concealed the jealousy and anger within them.
Why are these educated youths and those country bumpkins getting involved? Can't they just stay put?
She knew that with so many people now testifying for Shen Mu Ning, not many would believe the so-called evidence.
So she had no choice but to take a gamble and become a witness.
“Shen Zhiqing, didn’t I deliver your letters for you?”
He Xiaolan's timid voice rang out, drawing everyone's attention back to the love letter incident.
Apart from Lin Siqi, the other educated youth looked at He Xiaolan in disbelief.
