Chapter 23 The heroine is taken away by the police
"Uncle Yu, I wonder how Grandpa Yu is doing recently? Is he feeling better? Has he gone to a big hospital for a check-up?" Wen Zhu asked about the old man's condition.
Mayor Yu smiled and replied, "I've been taking the medicine you prescribed on time lately. My old man has a stubborn temper. I've asked him to come live with me before, but he always refused, saying he was used to living in the countryside and not with me. He even refused to go for a checkup. But this time, he came on his own initiative. He even insisted that I take him to a large hospital for a checkup, saying it was the instructions of the little miracle doctor and that they must be followed to the letter. The doctor said it was fortunate that the blocked blood vessels were cleared in time, otherwise he would be in danger. Thank you so much!"
"I studied medicine to cure diseases and save lives. It is said that 'saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.' It is my blessing to be able to help the old man. What's more, the old man paid me for the consultation." After Wen Zhu finished speaking, Mayor Yu could not help laughing.
"I'll take a look at the old man again after a while. I'll change the prescription or add acupuncture depending on the situation."
"Thank you for your concern."
The two of them had a very pleasant conversation, which made Principal Sun, who was accompanying them, go from being skeptical at first to being shocked later, and also made him re-evaluate his attitude towards people.
One of the most offensive professions in the world is doctors. Everyone has headaches and fevers.
Even though Wen Zhu is young and will graduate from junior high school in a few months, Principal Sun has decided to take good care of this little miracle doctor. She is the living signboard of their school, and her academic performance is said to be among the best. Whether the school can be rated as an advanced school this year depends on her contribution!
Wen Zhu and Mayor Yu had a pleasant conversation. Wen Zhu didn't become self-righteous because she had saved Mayor Yu's father. Instead, she spoke and acted calmly yet sincerely. Mayor Yu grew increasingly fond of this young woman with excellent medical skills and a measured approach.
Mayor Yu called out "Xiao Liu," and the young man behind him immediately pulled out a paper bag. Wen Zhu rubbed her hands in confusion, feeling troubled. Why did everyone seem to prefer using money to solve problems? But she had already collected the old man's medical fees.
Look at that huge paper bag! So many?
But Master said that she couldn't charge for a second consultation, no matter how tempting it was. Even if she was in dire need of money, she couldn't!
Just when Wen Zhu was trying to convince himself how to refuse politely without causing any rift, the young man named Xiao Liu pulled out a bright red banner from his bag!
After unfolding it, Wen Zhu saw the words written on it: Helping others, the contemporary Lei Feng! Signed: Yu Jinzhong
I felt relieved but also a little disgusted with myself.
Mayor Yu explained, "I originally wanted to give the young doctor a banner with the words "The Living Hua Tuo", but since you are still a student, I gave you this instead. I hope the young doctor can accept it." Then he handed the banner to Wen Zhu.
Wen Zhu took it with both hands and held it carefully.
This was the first silk banner she had received in two lifetimes! She had to hang it in the most prominent spot in the house, where she could see it as soon as she walked in! Holding the banner, she suddenly felt a sense of sublimity, as if she had been elevated! Could this be the enlightenment the stinky old man was talking about? It was a pity that the old man was no longer in this world; it was such a shame he couldn't see it.
Principal Sun's eyes lit up. This was a banner sent by the mayor himself. If it could be hung in the school reception room or the principal's office, he would be proud.
Before he could say anything, Wen Zhu carefully put the banner into a paper bag and kept it away.
Principal Sun saw this and thought, "That's a no-brainer. Wen is a student of our school. A student's honor is also an honor for the school. He can't be the only one to know about it." So he tentatively proposed to the mayor, "Wen is truly a young hero. He's a true role model for the students. I think his Lei Feng spirit is worthy of emulation. I plan to present Wen with an award for helping others in front of the entire school during the flag-raising ceremony next Monday. Then, I'll give Wen the banner you gave me. Do you think this will work?"
As someone who could sit in the mayor's chair, how could Mayor Yu not understand what Principal Sun meant? Thinking of Wen Zhu's impassioned speech proving her innocence that he had heard on the radio earlier, he thought that perhaps she really needed an opportunity to be publicly recognized and praised, which would be a good thing for her. So he looked at Wen Zhu and asked her what she meant.
"Little doctor, what do you think?"
Wen Zhu hesitated a little, "You'll give it to me next Monday, right? Then why don't you let me take it home this week?"
Principal Sun immediately added, "Of course, this isn't just a prize-giving. We'll give Wen a 20-yuan bonus in the name of the school as an encouragement. This will also further inspire the students to emulate Lei Feng!"
When Wen Zhu heard this, he thought that since there was a bonus, it was not impossible!
"The money is not important. The most important thing is that I, as the winner, must set an example and cooperate with the school! I'll give the banner to the principal for safekeeping!" As he said that, he handed the paper bag containing the banner to Principal Sun.
Principal Sun took it and his face lit up with joy.
The young man next to Mayor Yu checked his watch and reminded him, "Mayor Yu, the time we agreed to meet has come."
Mayor Yu stood up and said goodbye, and Principal Sun and Wen Zhu accompanied him to the school gate.
Xu Niannian felt like her classmates were looking at her strangely wherever she went, but no one said why. Unable to bear the stares, she could only sit alone in the corner of the playground.
Then, she happened to see the principal and Wen Zhu walking towards the door, talking and laughing. There were two people with extraordinary temperament beside them. The moment Xu Niannian saw the middle-aged man, her eyes widened immediately.
This guy wasn't the one the reporter was interviewing on TV! It looked like... the mayor! That's right, the mayor! She'd seen him in the village where everyone had a TV. How did Wen Zhu know the mayor? Was she deliberately trying to get him expelled from school?
Mayor Yu got in the car and left.
Just when Xu Niannian was feeling extremely annoyed, Wen Zhu and the principal had already returned.
Behind them were two people in uniform, a man and a woman. They were Wang Gongan and his colleague who had received Wen Zhu's report.
Xu Niannian was sitting in a secluded spot, behind a large tree. She didn't know why, but the moment she saw the police appear, she felt uncomfortable all over and subconsciously wanted to run away.
She thought so and did so. Wen Zhu, who was originally answering the public security questions, pointed to the figure running away behind the cedar tree.
"Wang Gongan, she is Xu Niannian."
Wang Gongan immediately shouted, "Xu Niannian, stop!"
When Xu Niannian heard the male police officer calling her, she ran even faster in fear.
The female police officer rushed out immediately, flipped over with one hand, stepped over the railing nimbly, grabbed the pale-faced Xu Niannian, handcuffed her hands behind her back, and pressed her to the ground.
"I didn't do anything. I didn't do anything bad. It was Wen Zhu who slandered me. She slandered me. I didn't do anything!" Xu Niannian roared loudly, completely losing her usual weak image.
At this moment, she looked ferocious and crazy.
The female police officer restrained her and walked back, "I told you to stop, why are you running? Have you ever seen a good person run away when they see a police officer? Save what you have and we'll talk about it back at the police station!"
Then during lunch break, Xu Niannian was taken away from the school by police officers in front of a group of classmates.
