Chapter 208: Chapter 207: Eliminate Harm for the People

Zhen Yan’s enrollment ranking was within the top hundred in his grade, and he was fourteenth in his class.

According to him, he was still able to keep up with the class’s learning pace.

After negotiating the labor and materials for the shop renovation, Zhen Yu paid half of the fee and directly handed it over to Zhang San and Li Si for supervision. They agreed to complete the work within a month, and she would return to Qi City at the end of October to inspect and make the final payment if there were no issues.

The days that followed were no different from previous years, rolling forward day by day.

Because Zhen Yu was often busy, even the two bundles of firewood she had handed over to the class were collected by the Han Family Brothers.

Fu Yu still couldn’t find an opportunity to deliver his love letter, and he didn’t have the courage to speak directly, so he shamelessly continued to cling to Zhen Yu.

The school’s Yellow Mud Stove was set up again, and the desks and chairs were once more split into two rows. The outdoor temperature dropped lower each day, and in a blink of an eye, it was the harsh winter when people heat the stove and bring lunch.

At the end of November, a rumor started circulating among the female students at Siying School.

The content of the rumor mentioned that some girls had seen...

Below that was a cesspit... In the cold northeast winter, excrement would freeze solid, so he couldn’t possibly be there to clean it! Moreover, when the school hired people for cleaning..., they would notify the students in advance to temporarily avoid the area.

If he wasn’t there to clean, then what was he there for?

Some girls adamantly claimed...

Others said, it seemed like...

They were so scared that their legs went weak!

Where these rumors originated from—specifically which class and which person—was now untraceable.

Some girls swore and exclaimed: "Suddenly seeing... it scared the life out of me!"

The girls were panicking, none of them dared to go to the restroom alone anymore.

When Zhen Yu heard about this from Bai Xue, she immediately recalled a similar incident from her past life.

Back then, it started similarly, with various rumors spreading among the female students and then catching the attention of the school authorities!

It was during a time when the teachers were emphasizing to all students, "Whether boys or girls, do not go alone, watch out for accidents!" that a girl suffered from diarrhea and got trapped....

Since the girl wasn’t Zhen Yu’s classmate, Zhen Yu only knew about it through rumors and did not understand the specifics, only knowing that the girl eventually took a leave of absence from school.

Even after Zhen Yu was accepted into high school, she never heard any news related to that incident again.

In that era, if something happened to a daughter from any family, they would try their best to hide it and certainly not make a fuss to pursue the matter. That girl’s family chose to keep the peace, so that incident from the past life ended up just fading away...

In this life... Should she try to do good this time? Zhen Yu pondered quietly, contemplating how to proceed, if she chose to act.

According to Bai Xue, the rumor had been circulating for over a week. Therefore, the incident from her past life was likely about to happen again. Maybe the perpetrator was currently looking for his opportunity.

But! Usually, the person would stay hidden at the bottom of the pit, right? Zhen Yu truly couldn’t bring herself to step down there! Just the thought of it made her feel unbearably disgusted!

Zhen Yu had never intended to put herself in danger to draw the perpetrator out, so her only option was to keep a watch outside the restroom!

Zhen Yu couldn’t help but feel frustrated, realizing that serving the people and removing harm wasn’t easy at all! First, you have to endure the smell and the cold...

One day, two days, three days...

Bai Xue couldn’t understand why Zhen Yu kept running to the restroom during breaks between classes, and Zhen Yu didn’t want to explain too much. Since she couldn’t stop her from following, she had to bring Bai Xue along.

During this period, Qian Duoduo and Liu Ting even specifically came to warn Zhen Yu to avoid using the school restrooms if possible and to hold it until she got home.

The girls’ rumors soon reached the boys’ ears, and Han Mingyue followed Zhen Yu quietly after learning about the situation.

Zhen Yu felt somewhat helpless as the three of them stood at the restroom door. Unless the person was a fool, he wouldn’t dare to make a move!

After being accompanied by the two for an entire afternoon, an exhausted Zhen Yu could only honestly explain everything to Han Mingyue after completing her homework at night.

"I intend to catch the bad guy, you and Bai Xue should stop following me starting tomorrow."

Han Mingyue flatly refused: "No! Why do you always take matters into your own hands!"

"I," Zhen Yu was just about to argue when Han Mingyue forcefully continued, "If you have a way to catch him, just tell Teacher Jiang directly tomorrow!"

Zhen Yu silently thought it over, and it seemed to make sense... She then touched her nose in agreement.

The next morning right after self-study, Zhen Yu went to find Teacher Jiang and told him all the clues she knew from her past life and her analysis from this life.

"Okay! The teacher is aware now. I’ll discuss this with the school leaders shortly and see how we can keep an eye on it! We must catch this person!"

"I’ll leave first, Teacher, please take it seriously! Don’t wait until something happens to regret it, it will be too late then!"

"Definitely! Now you go back."

"Goodbye, Teacher."

Upon leaving the teachers’ building, Zhen Yu saw Han Mingyue waiting for her outside the door with a gentle smile.

"How do you feel?"

"Not bad," Zhen Yu smiled and sighed, "I suddenly understood a lesson."

"It turns out that not all things you want to do need to be done by yourself; what’s most important is to achieve the goal."

"Such a teachable moment!"

"Pfft..."

—

It wasn’t long before the issue was resolved!

The next day during a large break, the school unusually convened a meeting on a cold winter day, and the principal personally announced to all teachers and students that the person had been caught.

After the meeting, many girls excitedly hugged each other, jumping and shouting, "That’s great! Now we don’t have to live in fear anymore!"

"Right? I had nightmares for several days after returning home. I dreamed about him...!"

"You must be joking! You just saw him misbehaving, not him... did you really need to bring up killing?"

"Haha... Exactly! You’re overthinking it!"

Listening and watching, a sense of pride and satisfaction suddenly surged in Zhen Yu’s heart.

She realized that diligently doing something that brings joy to others can also bring happiness to herself.

This feeling, it’s not bad.

—

Although it’s already the end of 1996, it’s still during the crackdown period.

Half a month later, Zhen Yu specifically took time to ask Teacher Jiang about the follow-up to this incident; Teacher Jiang only mentioned that they would impose severe punishments.

While he didn’t specify the details of the severe punishments, Zhen Yu felt that the school would definitely not tolerate such incidents happening again, so there must be a strong intent to impose heavy sentences.

Only by taking strict measures the first time can a lesson be taught!

But what Zhen Yu did not expect was, one evening when Mrs. Zhen came home, she suddenly skipped cooking dinner, grabbed Zhen Yu’s hand, and headed straight for the living room, arranging a long, serious
