A few days after Jiang Yu returned to school, she received a phone call from Sister Xia. “Jiang Yu, there’s great news! Chang Kai and the others have already taken down all the criminal gangs behind Ah Xiang!”
“Really?” Jiang Yu was very happy. If that was the case, there would be one less criminal gang in the world to continue harming people.
“Of course it’s true!” Sister Xia was also very happy. “It’s not a waste of our previous suffering!”
This was indeed a piece of good news that was worth being excited about. However, amidst her excitement, Jiang Yu thought of Ah Xiang’s mother.
“Is Ah Xiang’s mother still in prison?”
“The entire village’s villagers are all here,” Sister Xia said, “It was Ah Xiang’s mother who instigated the villagers to surround us. She deliberately hurt us, so of course she will be punished. But Di Di had nothing to do with this matter, so we arranged a place for her to stay alone for the time being.”
“That’s good.” Jiang Yu was relieved. “Di Di is a good child. If she has the chance to go to school, she will definitely be a good student.”
Sister Xia nagged, “How can her family afford to send her to school? It was unknown how many years Ah Xiang would be in prison for coming in this time. Although her grandmother’s paralysis had been cured, she can only do some daily chores and can not go out to work. Her family doesn’t even have a source of income. How can they afford to go to school?”
Jiang Yu was silent and did not speak.
Sister Xia guessed her thoughts. “Jiang Yu, don’t tell me you want to use money to send Di Di to school?”
After a long while, Jiang Yu answered softly, “Yes.”
Sister Xia began to have a headache, “You just can’t stand to see others suffer, so you always think of sacrificing yourself to help others. “But you can’t do this. Di Di is someone else’s daughter. If you give her money, isn’t it equivalent to helping someone raise their daughter? Moreover, it’s the daughter of Ah Xiang who wants to kill you!”
“She’s still young, so she won’t need much money.” Jiang Yu smiled and said, “It’s okay, Sister Xia. You don’t have to worry about me.”
“You… Aiya.” Sister Xia sighed. She knew that no matter how she tried to persuade Jiang Yu, she wouldn’t listen.
“Forget it, forget it. I won’t talk to you about this anymore. Chang Kai said that you have half the credit for their mission being successful. Therefore, the higher-ups of the police station have unanimously decided to give you a ‘good citizen award’. It will be sent to your school in a few days.”
“There’s no need to be so exaggerated, right? I only helped you with a very, very small favor.” Jiang Yu was a little surprised.
“Don’t be modest. This is a pennant personally given to you by the higher-ups of the police station. It’s a blessing that others can’t even envy!” Sister Xia said.
A few days later, the police station leader personally came to green vine university.
Everyone looked at the police car parked at the school gate, thinking that someone had committed a crime and was about to be arrested.
In the end, after waiting for a while, the police station leader personally presented the pennant to Jiang Yu.
Jiang Yu stood on the stage, reached out her hands, and politely took the pennant.
The people below the stage were discussing, “What’s going on? A good citizen? Don’t tell me that any good citizen can get the flag now?”
“No, no, this flag was personally sent over by the police station leader.”
“What did Jiang Yu do? She actually got the police station leader to personally send the flag over?”
“I don’t know. She can’t be helping them solve the case, right?”
“What a joke. She’s just a performer. How can she help the police solve the case? You think too highly of her. It’s already good enough that a person like her doesn’t cause trouble for the police uncles.”
Some people were disdainful of this. However, the truth in the end gave them a hard slap.
The police station leader spoke into the microphone, “Thank you, student Jiang Yu. You have helped the police solve a drug trafficking case and a case of intentional assault. Now, through the unanimous decision of the police station’s senior leaders, student Jiang Yu will be awarded the ‘Good Citizen Award’ and the pennant as a token of honor!”
As soon as he said that, the audience burst into thunderous applause.
It was the first time that Jiang Yu had received such an award in front of all the teachers and students in the school since she was a child. She was at a loss for words for a moment. When the principal handed the microphone to her, she did not even react and took it.
It took her a long time to come back to her senses. When she took the microphone, she was so excited that her hands were trembling, but she could not say a word.
The feeling of being recognized and praised by others in public was really good.
Jiang Yu stood on the stage for a long time before she said, “Thank you, everyone. Thank you to the police officers for their recognition of me.”
“Jiang Yu, you are really great,” the police station leader praised and gave Jiang Yu a thumbs up.
“Thank you,” Jiang Yu thanked him sincerely.
