Gong Baotong finished speaking to his mother and hurriedly introduced Yunyi, "Comrade Chu, this is my mother."
Zhao Guihua immediately grasped Yunyi’s hand. "Chu Zhiqing, I really can’t thank you enough. Uh, at noon—no, it might be too late by noon. You must come to our house for dinner tonight."
Yunyi felt somewhat uncomfortable being held like this. "Auntie, there’s no need. It was just a trivial effort on my part."
Fearing Zhao Guihua might say more, Yunyi quickly interjected, "Comrade Xie is already frail. You should hurry home and let her rest."
Hearing this and seeing her daughter-in-law’s haggard face, Zhao Guihua was indeed very worried. "Chu Zhiqing, it may be a mere gesture to you, but to us, it’s a life-saving grace. You must come to Auntie’s house for dinner tonight."
Worried that Yunyi would refuse, Zhao Guihua quickly took her daughter-in-law’s arm. "Juanzi, let’s go. Mom will help you home."
Zhao Guihua was genuinely grateful to Yunyi. Her third son had previously been a soldier, and he and his wife had spent more time apart than together. After several years of marriage, they had been unable to have children.
Only after he was assigned a job following his military service did he bring his wife over. Just when they finally had a child, it almost ended in tragedy. She had practically been scared to death when her son told her the story earlier.
Comrade Chu saved her daughter-in-law, which naturally made her a benefactor of the Gong Family. Thinking of the incident that morning, Zhao Guihua declared, "Comrade Chu, from now on, you are a benefactor to the Gong Family. If anyone dares to bully you, the Gong Family will be the first to not stand for it."
Though Gong Baotong had no idea what had happened, he knew his mother’s character well and agreed with her words. "Comrade Chu, you must come to our house for dinner tonight. It’s the least we can do to show our gratitude."
Yunyi understood their feelings, but she disliked trouble and didn’t want to cause any for others. "I appreciate your kind sentiments, but I am currently observing filial mourning, so it’s inconvenient for me to make visits. I will definitely visit your home in the future.
It’s the middle of the day, and the sun is harsh. You should hurry and take Comrade Xie back to rest. In her current condition, she cannot withstand the heat and needs to avoid heatstroke."
Yunyi responded vaguely, "My grandfather and my mother are both doctors, so I understand a bit as well."
The original owner’s background was also quite good; there were ready explanations for medical skills and physical abilities, which really pleased her.
