Shen Mu Ning opened the small wooden box and took out the contents.
Everyone's attention was drawn to the two pieces of paper in Shen Mu Ning's hand.
Chen Zhaodi looked at what it was, not knowing what it was, and felt extremely nervous.
He Xiaolan was confused, as the wooden box she brought wasn't in the wardrobe.
"This is what's in the wooden box. It's not a love letter; we'll need someone who can read to help us read it."
Now even Li Guihua couldn't handle it; she only knew a few characters and couldn't read.
The others looked around, but Cao Guofu took the initiative to step forward.
He had seen Cao Jin come to find Shen Mu Ning, so he didn't go home and followed Shen Mu Ning to the educated youth settlement.
He stepped forward without hesitation when someone who needed to learn to read was needed.
"Shen Zhiqing, I did receive some education, can I take a look?"
Shen Mu Ning handed the item to him; she just wanted someone to take a look at what it was.
When Cao Guofu saw the words on the paper, he felt as if the thing in his hand weighed a ton.
He looked at Shen Mu Ning with complicated emotions, his throat feeling as if it were stuffed with cotton.
I wanted to say something to comfort them, but I found it was all in vain.
Cao Guofu cleared his throat. "These are the martyr's certificate and the certificate for receiving the child support allowance."
As soon as Cao Guofu finished speaking, the surrounding crowd erupted in cheers.
"A martyr's certificate and a child support allowance, does that mean Shen Zhiqing's family has no one else?"
They had never seen this thing before in their brigade, but the neighboring brigade had soldiers who hadn't returned.
Therefore, they know that only those who die in the military are martyrs, and only when their immediate family members are gone will their children be raised by the state.
"Yes, my father died when I was ten years old, and my mother passed away soon after, so the uncle from the Armed Forces Department applied for a child support fund for me."
Shen Mu Ning felt there was nothing to hide about her family's situation, so she told them everything.
Only then did Li Guihua realize that Shen Mu Ning had become an orphan at such a young age.
She gently stroked Chen Mu Ning's hair with affection, "Girl, don't be afraid. Now that you've come to our Xinshan Brigade, this is your home."
"Yes, Sister Li is right. Now that you're here, treat this place as your home."
“No one will bully you here. If anyone is blind, come and complain to us.”
People who are married and have children can't bear to see their children suffer, let alone Shen Mu Ning, who is the orphan of a martyr.
Now that they've come to the Johor Bahru brigade, we have to take good care of them.
Shen Mu Ning felt a slight stirring in her heart as she sensed their sincere emotions.
There are still more kind and lovely people in this world.
"Thank you all. I've always considered this place my home."
Shen Mu Ning could only offer a simple thank you for now, but she felt she had to do something for these kind people in the future.
But let's deal with the immediate issue first.
"Aunt Chen, we've finished searching, but we didn't find any love letters. You'll have to explain this to Cao Jin later."
Chen Zhaodi happily agreed: "Okay, I know you don't have one."
Shen Mu Ning glanced at Chen Zhao Di in surprise. Little did she know that Chen Zhao Di was currently thanking all sorts of gods for saving Shen Mu Ning from marrying into her family.
As Chen Zhaodi finished speaking, the uncles and aunts all said they could also testify.
Shen Mu Ning carefully put the small wooden box away and placed it in the wardrobe. Just as she locked the wardrobe door, Cao Jin entered the educated youth settlement.
Those who followed Cao Jin knew that what Cao Jin held in his hand was indeed a love letter.
They were almost convinced that Shen Mu Ning was indeed dating Cao Jin.
After all, the handwriting on those love letters looked very much like that of a girl.
When Cao Jin arrived, he saw Chen Zhaodi's beaming face and assumed they had found the love letter he had He Xiaolan put in.
Suppressing the urge to curl his lips into a smile, he raised the letter in his hand.
"This is the love letter Mu Ning wrote to me. Did you find mine here?"
Shen Mu Ning didn't want to see Cao Jin's smug look, so she answered directly, "I don't have anything here."
Chen Zhaodi also stepped forward to testify: "She definitely doesn't have it here."
Cao Jin was stunned. So why was his mother so happy when they hadn't found anything?
Even though he only has the evidence in his hands right now, he still doesn't want to give up.
"Perhaps Mu Ning, you didn't keep them safe. Look, these are all the letters you wrote to me." Cao Jin said, handing the letters to Shen Mu Ning.
Shen Mu Ning opened all the letters and glanced at them; they were indeed written in a girl's handwriting.
However, "Has any of you seen my handwriting before?"
This question caught Cao Jin off guard, and even the educated youth were taken aback.
“Comrade Cao, since I went to the countryside, I have never written anything in front of outsiders, so no one has seen my notes.”
“But,” Shen Mu Ning said, taking out the high school textbooks she had bought, “I have also written words.”
These high school textbooks were all read by Shen Mu Ning after she went to the countryside and used her supernatural abilities to replace her brain.
However, Shen Mu Ning usually doesn't take her books out, so no one has ever seen her handwriting.
Cao Jin received the book, his hand trembled almost imperceptibly, and he glanced at He Xiaolan discreetly.
The love letters he took out were all written by He Xiaolan.
He assumed that He Xiaolan had at least seen Shen Mu Ning's handwriting and would imitate it slightly.
I never expected He Xiaolan to be so stupid, she had never even seen Shen Mu Ning's handwriting.
