Chapter 1711: Fainted from Anger

~6 min read 1,177 words

Although Jiang Zhongping felt that rural women were not his opponents, he still prepared to change a way to ask questions. He asked kindly: "What are your names?"

A young girl said: "My name is He Xiaoqin, and she is my sister, named He Xiaoping."

Jiang Zhongping said: "How old are you this year?"

He Xiaoqin said: "I'm almost eighteen, and she's almost fifteen."

Jiang Zhongping said in his heart, this is really a flower-like age!

Jiang Zhongping's smile was even kinder: "Why aren't you in school?"

He Xiaoqin said: "The family is poor, so we haven't been in school for a long time."

Jiang Zhongping said: "How did the cadres here handle things? Letting you not even afford to go to school?"

Cao Jingui said vigilantly: "This cadre, you don't understand the situation, don't talk nonsense. The cadres in the town are very good. Our life has been much better this year."

He Xiaoping said innocently: "A Secretary Su came to the town this year. He let us raise cattle and sheep, and opened a slaughterhouse to buy our cattle and sheep. The family has money now, and I bought a new piece of clothing."

For an innocent young girl, being able to buy a new piece of clothing was enough to satisfy her. You must know that even during the New Year, she couldn't wear new clothes. It could be said that she had never worn a new piece of clothing in her life; her clothes were all worn by her two sisters.

Jiang Zhongping said: "Xiaoping, so you know Secretary Su?"

He Xiaoping nodded: "Of course I know. Secretary Su often came to our house before. Every time he came, he brought us delicious food, and sometimes he gave money to my mother..."

Cao Jingui said sternly: "Xiaoping, don't say these things."

Cao Jingui was a person who had experienced it. She naturally had heard the rumors about the ambiguous relationship between her family and Su Xinghui. She herself didn't care. Anyway, she was a widow. Widows basically didn't have a good reputation. There are many rights and wrongs in front of a widow's door. She was used to it. As long as she had a clear conscience, it would be fine.

However, the two daughters were still young, and they still had to marry. Therefore, Cao Jingui had always protected her two daughters under her wings like an old hen. Even if an eagle came, she would not hesitate to fight.

Moreover, this matter also involved Su Xinghui. Su Xinghui was the great benefactor of her whole family. Without Su Xinghui, let alone living a good life now, they didn't know what tragic end they would have encountered.

Therefore, Cao Jingui was very sensitive to things involving Su Xinghui. As soon as she heard this Director Jiang wanted to pull the topic to Su Xinghui, she felt something was wrong, so she sternly stopped the innocent words of her naive daughter.

Even if Cao Jingui was just a rural woman without education, she also had things she wanted to protect. Su Xinghui was the person she felt most worth protecting. If necessary, Cao Jingui would not hesitate to fight with her life to protect him and not let others splash dirty water on him.

He Xiaoping looked surprised: "Mom, why don't you let me say it? I am saying good things about Secretary Su!"

Cao Jingui said sternly: "I told you not to say it, so don't say it!"

He Xiaoqin was more sensible than her sister, and she also said to her sister: "Mom told you not to say these things, so don't say them."

He Xiaoping nodded: "Alright, then I won't say it."

Cao Jingui's abnormal behavior made Jiang Zhongping feel that there must be some problem here. He immediately changed to a serious look and said: "Cao Jingui, we are cadres from the City Discipline Inspection Commission. We came here to understand the situation. You must tell us what you know truthfully. We represent the Party, do you know? You must be loyal to the Party!"

If it were before, Cao Jingui would naturally trust these cadres representing the Party very much. However, since He Xiaofeng committed suicide, Cao Jingui still trusted the Party, but she didn't trust some people.

This Director Jiang gave Cao Jingui a bad first impression. He disliked her family's bowl, which she had scalded with boiling water several times before brewing tea for them. Su Xinghui never disliked anything when he came to her house; he picked up the bowl and drank.

Director Jiang also wanted to set up the little daughter, trying every means to lead the topic to Su Xinghui, which aroused Cao Jingui's vigilance. Now, she had transformed from a harmless little white rabbit into a hedgehog with all its thorns standing up.

Cao Jingui pursed her lips tightly and didn't speak. The look in her eyes when she looked at Jiang Zhongping was full of hostility.

Jiang Zhongping asked seriously: "Xiaoping just said that Su Xinghui often came to your house, brought food to your house, and gave money to your house. Is this a fact?"

Cao Jingui said: "Xiaoping said it wrong. Secretary Su came with other cadres every time. Every time he came, he came to alleviate poverty, sending us poverty alleviation materials and poverty alleviation funds. Is there any problem with this?"

Jiang Zhongping said: "Then why did he come to your house specifically? Did he have bad intentions?"

Cao Jingui said: "This comrade, what you said is funny? Who told you he came to my house specifically? My family is a poor household in the village. He has to walk to every poor household. Is there any bad intention in sending poverty alleviation materials and poverty alleviation funds?"

Cao Jingui changed from a submissive rural woman to aggressive in just a few minutes, which surprised Jiang Zhongping. However, the more Cao Jingui was like this, the more he felt she was hiding some unspeakable secret, which made him very excited, even a little agitated.

Jiang Zhongping said: "He never came to your house alone?"

Cao Jingui hesitated. On the night He Xiaofeng committed suicide, Su Xinghui came to her house alone driving a car. At that time, she had misunderstood and felt Su Xinghui had some different thoughts, but the facts proved that she thought too much.

She shook her head: "Never, he never came to our house alone!"

However, Cao Jingui's hesitation had already been seen by Jiang Zhongping. He was worthy of being an experienced old discipline inspector. He said in a deep voice: "You are lying!"

Cao Jingui said: "What lie did I tell? What I said is the truth, I never tell lies!"

Jiang Zhongping said: "Su Xinghui must have come to your house alone. Tell me, what did he want to do when he came to your house alone? Was he plotting something? If he was plotting something, tell us, and we will definitely stand up for you." ===== CHAPTER 1713 =====
