Chapter 47: On Tuesday, after the flag-raising ceremony, the homeroom teacher, Chen Yu...
On Tuesday, after the national flag-raising ceremony, class teacher Chen Yuru called Xu Heye over and said, "Xu Heye, come to my office."
"Teacher, what do you want to talk to me about?" Xu Heye asked, following Chen Yuru into the office.
Chen Yuru said, "Xu Heye, has anything happened to you recently? If there is anything inconvenient, you can talk to the teacher. The teacher will definitely help you if he can."
"Nothing." Xu Heye said. She never expected that Chen Yuru was looking for her because of something that happened over the weekend.
"Is it really nothing?" Chen Yuru's eyes turned cold.
She felt that Xu Heye was lying and hiding something from her.
These out-of-town students, with their low self-esteem and stubbornness, proved to be undeniable. Even those with good grades couldn't escape the inherent bad habits of those who came back. Less than three months after the policy was implemented, many returning out-of-town students had already developed problems.
Those who have emotional problems, such as low self-esteem, extremism, depression, mania...
There are those who have learning problems, who can't keep up with their studies, sleep in class, don't do their homework, skip classes, and their grades drop...
Others violated laws and discipline, got into fights, frequented dance halls, joined gangs, and engaged in extortion...
So when a classmate came to complain that Xu Heye had committed a crime and was called to the police station, Chen Yuru did not doubt it at all. She was able to patiently ask her about the situation first because Xu Heye's grades were pretty good.
The teachers in the class all said that this student was a good candidate for admission to Tsinghua or Peking University. Her good grades were one thing, but she was also very stable, both in her grades and her emotions. Being emotionally stable meant she wouldn't perform poorly on major exams due to emotional instability.
If you are smart, hardworking, determined and not easily distracted by external things, and you work hard for another year in the third year of junior high school, you may be able to reach the top of the city in the high school entrance examination.
Xu Heye nodded: "Nothing really happened." She went to school and came home as usual every day, and her life was peaceful.
Chen Yuru said directly: "Then why did I hear that you were called to the police station the day before yesterday?"
"I know you live alone in a rented house without parental supervision, but you can't do whatever you want just because you don't have your parents by your side. You have to understand that your parents sent you to Hucheng so that you can study hard, not so that you can do whatever you want here."
Only then did Xu Heye understand why Chen Yuru wanted to talk to her.
Chen Yuru didn't believe her, but she didn't get angry. She just said, "Teacher Chen, I went to the police station to report it, not because I did anything wrong. As for what exactly happened, I can't tell you yet."
Those scammers had just been arrested and the case was still under investigation. Although she was the one who called the police, she also had an obligation to keep it confidential.
Chen Yuru looked into Xu Heye's eyes, and Xu Heye also looked at her. Their eyes met, and she did not dodge at all.
After a while, Chen Yuru withdrew her gaze.
"Since you said so, I'll believe you for now. But—" she changed the subject, "If you really did something wrong, tell me now. Before the school finds out, I can still help you turn things around. If you wait until the police station sends a notice to the school, even if your grades are excellent, you'll have no choice but to expel."
Xu Heye nodded: "Thank you, Teacher Chen, I understand."
However, in the next few days, in addition to the head teacher Chen Yuru, the mathematics teacher Lao Wu, the Chinese teacher Ni Zhuang, the English teacher He Shuang, and even the physical education teacher Zheng Ming all secretly found her to talk.
Although the personal tone and wording are different, either euphemistic or direct, the meaning expressed in the words is exactly the same as Chen Yuru's.
Xu Heye was somewhat touched but also troubled.
It seems that she needs to find time to go to the police station again to see if she can get an official explanation or a certificate of bravery to reassure these teachers.
This way, everyone wouldn't see her with a worried and wary look as if they were seeing a girl who had gone astray.
He did what he thought. After school on Saturday, Xu Heye got off the bus a few stops early and went to the police station when she was taking the bus home.
When she arrived at the police station, the police officers were discussing the recent frequent fraud cases.
"In recent years, especially the past two years, there have been more and more fraud cases. Not long ago, there was a marriage fraud case, and now there's the red and blue pen case. There was also a case of selling counterfeit medicine in the neighboring district."
"These scammers are too rampant, and they are roving around, often committing a crime here and there. By the time the victims react and report the crime, the scammers have already disappeared without a trace."
"Tell me, is there a way to reduce the number of people being deceived?"
Xu Heye thought of future fraud prevention methods and suggested, "The police station could take the lead and hold anti-fraud safety awareness lectures in major factories, residential buildings, and schools."
"These fraudulent methods are actually very low-level, but ordinary people have never seen them before, so they are easily fooled. If the police can break down these tricks and explain them directly and clearly to the people, and everyone understands the tricks, I believe not so many people will be deceived." "Anti-fraud safety awareness lectures are a good idea." Yu Jianye slapped his thigh and said excitedly.
He raised his head and looked at Xu Heye: "The little girl is very smart."
"Thank you for the compliment." Xu Heye accepted Yu Jianye's compliment with a smile.
Yu Jianye looked at Xu Heye and felt that she looked very familiar. After a few more glances, he finally recognized her. "Little girl, it's you! If you hadn't called the police last weekend, we wouldn't have been able to catch those scammers in time and save the victims from their losses."
"What brings you to the police station?"
"Uncle police, this is what happened—" Xu Heye explained her purpose. "Now the teachers at our school all think I've done something wrong. I'm wondering if the police station can issue me a statement so I can take it back to school and reassure the teachers."
"So that's how it is." Yu Jianye said cheerfully, "It's a small matter, no problem."
"Which school does the little girl go to?"
Xu Heye said, "I'm studying at the middle school attached to the No. 10 Iron and Steel Plant."
"Which class?"
"Class 2-3."
"Okay, I'll remember that." Yu Jianye nodded. "Don't worry, little girl. I'll keep this in mind. As for you, just focus on your studies. I'll take care of this matter. I'll make sure it's handled properly for you later. I guarantee no one will gossip about you again!"
When Xu Heye returned to her rental house and saw the gift bag on the bedside, she suddenly realized that she had forgotten to send the gifts she bought for her parents back.
After picking up the packaging bag, Xu Heye hurried to the post office. After sending the things, Xu Heye came back from the post office and unexpectedly saw her grandfather Dong Changzhi in the yard. He had not come to the rental house since the last time he had dinner.
"Grandpa?" Xu Heye was a little surprised. "Why are you here?" Her grandfather was the kind of person who would not come to her house unless there was something important. He would turn a blind eye to anyone who was not good for him, including his granddaughter.
Dong Changzhi looked at Xu Heye with a dark face and said, "Heye, I heard that your cousin said he brought your uncle to the school to set up a stall during the last sports meet?"
Xu Heye nodded.
She finally knew why Dong Changzhi came here.
It turned out that he came to find her to question her at the instigation of her non-blood-related step-cousin Liu Wen!
