Rebirth of a Farmer's Dad

At this point, Luo Feng roughly understood the truth. It must have been one of the students recruited from the school who accidentally spilled rat poison on the food, leading to the food poisoning incident. It seemed Bao Sheng was completely scapegoated, and what was even more perplexing was that he had willingly taken the blame.

"Tell me, what exactly is the relationship between this girl and Baosheng?" Luo Feng asked subconsciously. It wasn't that he wanted to take the opportunity to spread gossip, but the key point was that if there was no relationship at all, it wouldn't make sense!

“Well, it’s alright. This girl and Baosheng are from the same village. I heard that her family isn’t well-off either. They even sold their cow to support her education and are now heavily in debt. So, out of consideration for being from the same village, Baosheng takes good care of her.” Biaozi sighed and told Luo Feng what he knew.

"So, this time Baosheng took the blame all by himself to protect the girl, right?" Luo Feng finally figured out the key to the matter and asked this question ambiguously.

"That's basically it. We all thought that we could settle things by apologizing and giving some money, but we didn't expect it to escalate like this. The girl originally planned to stay with us, but Baosheng forced her to go back." Afu nodded and added this sentence.

“Yes, Baosheng also said that this girl’s family is in difficulty, and the whole family is counting on her. Besides, it’s really unnecessary for such a young girl to die here.” Biaozi shook his head and repeated what Baosheng had told them before.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Has Baosheng lost his mind? Why didn't you two try to stop him? After all, he's your brother. You just watched him do something stupid?" After listening to their explanation, Luo Feng roughly understood Baosheng's thoughts. This guy realized that things couldn't be resolved peacefully today, and someone had to be pushed to take responsibility. To avoid implicating others, he was planning to take the blame himself. However, upon further reflection, Luo Feng was very dissatisfied with Biaozi and the other man's actions, criticizing them for not dissuading him in time. Otherwise, Baosheng wouldn't have acted so recklessly this time!

The most critical issue is that Baosheng has already spoken, and everyone will inevitably assume he's the real culprit. Even if the truth about the girl is revealed now, people won't believe it. Some might even think Luo Feng used connections to get the girl out as a scapegoat to absolve his own man of any involvement.

If things really escalate to that point, putting aside what Baosheng and that girl would think, Luo Feng wouldn't be able to resolve everyone's doubts. He couldn't possibly be foolish enough to explain to each and every one of them; that would be exhausting. Besides, people might not even believe what you say!

"What kind of mess is this!" Luo Feng tore at his hair in frustration, only then realizing his stomach was rumbling. He glanced briefly at the dishes still displayed in the cupboard, then turned to Biaozi and Afu, instructing, "Get rid of all this stuff. Leave nothing behind. Also, the cafeteria will be closed for the next two days, but you can't rest. Get everyone together and give it a thorough cleaning, inside and out. Remember, this work must be done properly. You have two days. I'll be here to inspect in two days, and if I find anything wrong, you'll be in big trouble."

"Okay, don't worry, leave it to us," Biaozi and Afu replied in unison.

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng nodded, then pushed open the cafeteria door and went out.

"Have you finished understanding everything?" I heard Wang Xueying's voice as soon as I stepped out the door.

"Hmm, why haven't you left yet? You haven't even had lunch and have been staying here until now. Aren't you hungry?" Luo Feng was puzzled as to why Wang Xueying was still there, so he asked.

"So you do know? You caused all this, you have to take some responsibility! Damn it, I didn't even realize it until you brought it up, and now my stomach is growling again. I don't care, you have to find me a meal right now, or I won't let you off the hook." Wang Xueying was about to reply when she realized her stomach was growling again, which made her a little embarrassed. However, she still glared at him, acting like a rogue, and asked Luo Feng to come up with a solution.

"I'm telling you, you're a grown man, why are you still acting like a child? If you're hungry, just go back to the shop to eat. No one's going to ask you for money anyway." Luo Feng wasn't in the mood for food right now. He needed to give the county magistrate an explanation as soon as possible, otherwise he probably wouldn't be able to get involved in the school cafeteria business in the future.

"I don't care, you just have to figure something out. I've been waiting since noon, and I'm so hungry I can't even walk." Wang Xueying said, pouting as she squatted down on the ground.

"I don't have time for you. I need to go check on Baosheng. You'd better watch yourself." At this point, Luo Feng had no mind to think about anything else. He left these words and turned to leave.

"Don't go, come back here!" Wang Xueying shouted and chased after him again, not at all like someone who was too hungry to walk.

Seeing Wang Xueying follow him up again, Luo Feng felt somewhat helpless. How could this girl be like a piece of chewing gum? Once she was stuck to him, he couldn't shake her off. She was a grown woman, yet she didn't know how to be reserved.

There was no other way; since they had already caught up, Luo Feng couldn't just leave them be. After all, the girl was right; he was the one who caused all this, so he had to take some responsibility. Considering that Wang Xueying was still hungry, Luo Feng specially used his mobile phone to call the shop and asked them to prepare some food to be delivered to the county's public security bureau later. It seemed that he would have to eat lunch at the public security bureau today.

After finishing all that, Luo Feng led Wang Xueying straight to the county's Public Security Bureau. Given the magnitude of the incident in the county today, it was no surprise that County Head H and several other county leaders were currently at the Public Security Bureau.

"I don't know what that bastard Baosheng told them. That kid is really something. It had nothing to do with him, but he insisted on getting involved in this mess. Now look what happened, he's even gotten himself into trouble. What a fool!"

Throughout the journey, Luo Feng kept muttering to himself. Although he kept criticizing Bao Sheng, Wang Xueying could tell from his words, even if she were a fool, that he cared deeply for his brother.

"It seems that your success isn't entirely due to luck. Putting everything else aside, the care you show for your employees is something I've never met among all the bosses I've encountered."

Listening to Luo Feng's constant nagging in her ear, Wang Xueying wasn't so annoyed by his behavior this time. Instead, she genuinely offered a few words of praise. To be honest, this surprised Luo Feng, as it had never happened before.
