Despite the pain, Cao Jin stayed by Cao Dashan and Chen Zhaodi's side all night.
Until the light outside the window was divided into light and shadow, and the eastern sky began to turn a pale white.
The two then woke up from a deep sleep.
As soon as Cao Dashan opened his eyes, he saw Cao Jin sitting wearily by his bedside.
The drowsiness vanished in an instant, and I was completely awake.
"Dad, you're awake." Cao Jin had been worried sick all night, fearing that something had happened to his parents.
Although he felt that no matter how audacious Shen Mu Ning was, she wouldn't dare to make a move so easily.
They caused some trouble yesterday, and if their whole family falls ill today...
Shen Mu Ning was the first person to be suspected.
Although that was what she thought, she was also afraid that Shen Mu Ning would not play by the rules.
Just like last night, I was taught a lesson by Shen Mu Ning.
Moreover, Shen Mu Ning possessed such terrifying methods that she deeply experienced the agony of being subjected to the torture of slow slicing.
Cao Dashan looked at Cao Jin, whose clothes were disheveled, and still didn't understand why his son was there.
"What are you doing in my and your mother's bedroom so early in the morning?"
As sons grow up, we should avoid suspicion; this is the first time he's been so inconsiderate since he grew up.
Cao Jin looked at Cao Dashan with surprise, and when asked, he told him everything that had happened last night.
What terrified Cao Jin was that all he could do was deal with the fact that Shen Mu Ning had beaten him up.
But she simply couldn't bring herself to talk about the illusion she had experienced.
Every time I try to speak out, it feels like needles are pricking my head.
Even though I tried my best to endure the pain, I couldn't open my mouth to speak.
Cao Jin didn't know how Shen Mu Ning had managed it, but he told Cao Da Shan not to mention Shen Mu Ning again.
Cao Dashan didn't notice Cao Jin's hesitation and assumed he was acting as before.
He wanted to marry the girl but was rejected, so he punished her severely, which is why he became angry and ashamed and forbade his family to mention her.
Knowing that his parents were safe and sound, Cao Jin returned to his bedroom.
Now, Shen Mu Ning is finally settling accounts with herself.
Aside from not being able to reveal the matter of the illusion, there shouldn't be any more problems in the future.
Cao Jin tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep, filled with trepidation.
But in the end, he couldn't resist the mental exhaustion and fell into a deep sleep.
After Chen Zhaodi woke up, she heard Cao Dashan tell her what had happened the night before.
He patted his chest, still feeling lingering fear.
It's a good thing we didn't marry Shen Mu Ning; otherwise, who knows who would have had a hard time in the future.
Chen Zhaodi glanced at Cao Jin with concern, but seeing that he had only taken a few punches to the stomach, she ignored him.
Although she dotes on her son, she wouldn't dare to provoke someone like Shen Mu Ning.
What if Shen Mu Ning gets upset and takes it out on me?
Since the son's injuries are not serious, there's no need to think about causing trouble again.
As dawn broke, the Xinshan Brigade regained its vitality.
I finished work early yesterday and even watched a big show at the former educated youth settlement.
After returning home, the whole family gathered together to discuss it.
In the following days, the farm work was not heavy, and people who also had spiritual nourishment were in high spirits.
Meanwhile, Shen Mu Ning, the protagonist who was the subject of everyone's discussion, slept soundly through the night.
She didn't get up from the bed until the other educated youth got up to eat.
Shen Mu Ning pondered for a moment, and only went out to wash up after her sleepiness had completely dissipated.
The other educated youths didn't ask Shen Mu Ning to come with them when she left, even after she had already asked for leave.
They all looked on with envy as they watched Shen Mu Ning calmly tidy up and eat.
But they all knew they weren't as capable as Shen Mu Ning and couldn't earn as many work points.
Besides, their families wouldn't subsidize them much; at most, they'd get a few dozen yuan a year.
Therefore, they cannot act as freely as Shen Mu Ning, and have to obediently go to work.
Shen Mu Ning watched as the educated youth left, guessing that everyone in the brigade had gone to work as well.
They quickly ate their meal and rushed to the county town.
Shen Mu Ning's most important task was to find the Red-Letter Soldiers.
So on the way from the brigade to the commune, he dressed himself up as a boy.
Upon arriving in the county town, she rented a handcart and headed straight for the mill, carrying wheat and rice.
The rice and flour were ground in less than an hour.
This time, the boss also wanted to buy some rice and flour from Shen Mu Ning, but Shen Mu Ning didn't manage to sell them.
She sold grain in Haishi before because she had no money at the time.
Secondly, the food she collected in the apocalypse was all already processed.
Those rice grains and wheat flour cannot be used as seeds for further planting.
The food grown in the space can be grown again.
Before we experiment with whether growing these foods outside of space would increase yields.
She won't sell the food in her space, except for what she eats herself.
Following Cao Jin's description, Shen Mu Ning then located the Red-Letter Soldier's office.
Shen Mu Ning walked past the two-story building, only glancing at it briefly.
This building is adjacent to the government office building, and the police station is not far away.
The streets are bustling with people right now, making it unsuitable for Shen Mu Ning to go in and investigate.
However, just walking around this building once was enough for Shen Mu Ning to use her mental power to see the situation inside.
