As soon as Shen Mu Ning finished work at noon, she rushed back to the educated youth settlement. She had just started steaming the rice when she found that all the educated youth had returned.
Because they eat together, the person who cooks always comes back first to prepare.
So usually when the educated youth returned to their settlement, it was almost time for dinner. During this time, everyone would do something or take a quick shower.
Shen Mu Ning saw that everyone had returned, and all they needed to do was have a soup before they could have a meal.
Without further ado, he gathered all the educated youth together.
"Mu Ning, is there something you want to tell us?"
Seeing that Shen Mu Ning had gathered everyone in the restaurant, Zhuang Xue asked directly.
Other people's attention also turned to Shen Mu Ning, because after spending the past few days together.
Everyone knows that Shen Mu Ning doesn't have much contact with them except for going to work and going up the mountain with them every day.
She followed the rules of the educated youth settlement and did not interfere in the affairs of anyone else.
The fact that they were asked to stop what they were doing and gather around her in the middle of the day, which is unusual, means there must be something important going on.
"Yes, I do have something to tell you." Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Shen Mu Ning got straight to the point and told them about Cao Jin Di.
"Sister Zhuang Xue, you've been here for a long time, do you know Cao Jin?"
Upon hearing the name mentioned by Shen Mu Ning, all the female educated youths except He Xiao Lan looked displeased.
Several former educated youths remembered the story of Cao Jin pursuing a female educated youth. Back then, Cao Jin pursued her in a very high-profile manner.
The story of him being beaten later spread throughout the brigade, so how could they not know him?
As for Lin Siqi, she finally found memories of Cao Jin in her distant past.
Lin Siqi gave Shen Mu Ning a deep look. She remembered that Shen Mu Ning had married Cao Jin in her previous life.
When she first learned that Shen Mu Ning was also an educated youth sent to the countryside in Xinshan Brigade, she was a little confused, wondering why she didn't seem to have many memories of Shen Mu Ning.
To determine whether Shen Mu Ning was indeed the educated youth who went to the countryside with her in her previous life, she carefully recalled her memories of being at the educated youth settlement in her previous life.
She discovered that Shen Mu Ning was nothing like the person she remembered.
In her previous life, Shen Mu Ning had very little presence. When she was a sent-down youth, she was the target of Hu Mei Ling's bullying and venting.
Moreover, she didn't stay at the educated youth settlement for very long before she married Cao Jin after he pursued her.
After that, the news about her was about how she degraded herself by working like a slave in the Cao family.
Of course, I was just as good back then.
In her previous life, her husband Wang Cheng and his mother also treated her like a nanny.
They constantly beat and verbally abused her, which is why she lost both of her previous pregnancies.
If Wang Cheng hadn't mysteriously disappeared after going out, and his mother hadn't passed away soon after, leaving no one to watch over her every day, she wouldn't have had the ability to escape at all.
So even though they were in the same batch of educated youth sent to the countryside and married into the same production brigade, she and Shen Mu Ning never had any further contact.
So now, Shen Muling is asking Zhuang Xue if they know Cao Jin. What is her purpose in doing so? Or has Cao Jin already started pursuing her?
"We know Cao Jin. What's wrong? Did you run into him?"
Although Zhuang Xue looked unwell, she still answered Shen Mu Ning's question. She must have had her reasons for asking this person.
"Mu Ning, you haven't run into Cao Jin pursuing you, have you?" Ding Xiang had a bad feeling as soon as she heard the name.
"Let me tell you, don't be fooled by him. He just wants to marry a good wife without paying a bride price."
Dingxiang is probably the person who knows the truth best, besides Cao Jin's family and the educated youth she is pursuing.
She had a good relationship with the female educated youth who was being pursued by Cao Jin, so the educated youth told her about it before leaving.
I was also thinking of telling Dingxiang to be careful in the countryside and not to fall into any traps.
Even if you find out later that you can't return to the city, you should still choose a partner according to your own feelings.
Instead of being schemed against and forced to marry someone else for no reason.
From then on, Dingxiang insisted on doing everything with Zhuang Xue. Even without Zhuang Xue, she would be with Hu Meiling, whom she disliked, determined not to be alone.
Now, hearing Shen Mu Ning ask about Cao Jin, she wished she had two more mouths so she could blurt out everything.
Well, Shen Mu Ning was originally thinking of speaking up first, but Ding Xiang just blurted it out.
"That'll save her trouble." She gave Dingxiang an approving look before telling her about the news she had heard from Aunt Guihua.
"Okay, I just wanted to remind you that when Cao Jin returned to the brigade, the aunties told me that he had done some bad things before, so I thought I'd remind you all."
“The aunties said that he hasn’t been back to the brigade for a long time, and this time it seems like he’s going to stay there for a long time. He might have a purpose.”
Shen Muling turned to Lin Siqi and He Xiaolan and emphasized, "We are the new educated youth, and we are the most likely to become his targets."
"We'd better be careful all the time." Shen Mu Ning looked at He Xiao Lan's nonchalant expression and turned her head away to avoid seeing her.
She wasn't one to meddle in other people's business, but she spoke up to remind them because they were both educated youth sent to the countryside and women.
If someone doesn't listen and ends up getting infected, she won't feel any remorse.
Ignoring the brainless He Xiaolan, he earnestly said to Zhuang Xue and Ding Xiang, "Although he might not use any pursuing tactics on you because you all know about his deeds."
