Chapter 1479: Anything is Fine
Su Xinghui accompanied Hou my lord to look around Changshan County, but he was still concerned about Cao Jingui's family. After eating lunch, he excused himself to Hou my lord, saying he wouldn't have time to accompany Hou my lord in the afternoon. Hou my lord was quite understanding of Su Xinghui, saying that Su Xinghui should go ahead and get busy, and he could just look around with County Magistrate Ling in the afternoon.
Su Xinghui told Ling Anguo that he couldn't stop worrying about Cao Jingui's family and wanted to go see them. Ling Anguo also knew that Cao Jingui's side indeed needed someone to take care of them, so he nodded and let Su Xinghui go, saying he would accompany the investor.
When Su Xinghui rushed to the guesthouse where Cao Jingui was staying, her family members had already arrived. The people who came included her older sister, who was Du Fangfang's mother, Cao Jinzhi, as well as her two daughters and one son.
Her whole family was sorrowful, but Cao Jingui had already sat up, leaning against the head of the bed, hugging her young son. Although they were crying in a heap, it was much better than the unresponsive state from the morning.
Seeing this, Su Xinghui finally felt relieved.
Seeing Su Xinghui come, Du Fangfang quickly got up and said: "Secretary Su is here. Sit down quickly. Aunt, Secretary Su is here."
Cao Jingui raised her head and said to Su Xinghui: "Secretary Su, thank you for being so concerned about our family's matter."
Su Xinghui said: "Sister-in-law Jingui, this is what I should do. Du Fangfang, you haven't eaten lunch yet, right? Let's go, I'll take you out to eat."
Cao Jingui said: "Secretary Su, don't trouble yourself with eating. I can't eat anything right now."
Su Xinghui looked at the breakfast he had brought in the morning on the table, which hadn't been touched at all, and said: "You didn't even eat breakfast, how can you not eat lunch? If your body collapses, don't talk about anything else. Also, the children need to eat. The children are still so young, it's the time for them to grow."
Hearing Su Xinghui mention the children, Cao Jingui sighed. She stroked her son's head and nodded: "Okay, then I'll wash my face and go eat."
Su Xinghui nodded. Cao Jingui got off the bed, went to the bathroom, tidied her clothes, and washed her face. Su Xinghui then took them out to eat.
Now, with the gradual prosperity of Changshan County, several new restaurants have opened in the county, and eating isn't just limited to the People's Restaurant. Su Xinghui found a restaurant nearby that looked clean, asked for a private room, and ordered seven or eight dishes. Cao Jingui then said: "Secretary Su, that's too many dishes, don't order any more."
Su Xinghui gave the menu to the waiter and told her to serve the dishes quickly. It was almost two o'clock now, and Cao Jingui's family must be starving.
As soon as the food was served, Cao Jingui's son, He Xiaolong, started eating ravenously, and the others started eating too. Only Cao Jingui still looked like she couldn't swallow anything.
Su Xinghui said: "Sister-in-law Jingui, you should still eat a little. You still have three children, they all have to rely on you. What will happen if your body collapses?"
Cao Jingui looked at the three children who hadn't fully grown up yet, nodded, picked up her rice bowl, and started eating in big mouthfuls. But as she ate, tears dripped down in big drops, dripping into the bowl. Her rice grains were really swallowed mixed with tears.
Du Fangfang picked several dishes for Cao Jingui. Cao Jingui swallowed all these dishes. Although she didn't know what the dishes tasted like at all, eating these dishes was ultimately good for her body.
Cao Jingui forced herself to eat two bowls of rice and dishes. She put down her bowl and said to Su Xinghui: "Secretary Su, thank you. Can I speak to you alone for a few words?"
Su Xinghui nodded and came to a private room next door with Cao Jingui. As soon as they entered the private room, Cao Jingui asked: "Secretary Su, how exactly did Xiaofeng die? Can you tell me?"
Su Xinghui pondered for a moment and said: "Sister-in-law Jingui, Xiaofeng wrote a suicide note before she died. Judging from the content of the suicide note, she committed suicide by buying sleeping pills after being bullied by several people."
Cao Jingui asked again: "Then do you know who those few people who bullied her are?"
Su Xinghui said: "There were five of them in total, namely Ren Hualin, the son of Yulin City Mayor Ren Guisheng; Ye Jun, the son of Yulin Municipal Committee Deputy Secretary Ye Qingshan; Lou Guangming, the son of Yulin CPPCC Vice Chairman Lou Boping; Zhang Yong, the son of Yulin Deputy Mayor Zhang Shiming; and Zhang Meng, the son of Changshan County Deputy County Magistrate Zhang Shiqing."
"Ren Hualin, Ye Jun, Lou Guangming, Zhang Yong, Zhang Meng, good, I remember them!" Cao Jingui's tone was unusually calm, but Su Xinghui could hear a bone-chilling coldness in that calmness, as well as that deep-seated hatred.
