Jiang Yiru heaved a sigh of relief immediately after hearing that.
After encountering such a calamity and ing to a foreign place, they were worried about their future life. Her body was finally cured of the poison with much difficulty and she took a little disciple, but suddenly encountered such things. Jiang Yiru really did not wish to die.
Yet, now, the tables have turned – this place was actually her little disciple’s hometown and it was her who found people to send them here. It was considered a blessing in disguise.
No matter what, at least they were not pletely clueless about and alone in this place. With her little disciple around, they were not as panicky as before.
Jiang Yiru held Gu Qingyao’s hands. “Good! Good! I never expected it to be like this! Yao Yao, it’s really my blessing to meet you.”
Gu Qingyao laughed. “More like it’s my blessing to meet you! You’re still injured so just rest well. I will e and change your dressing tonight. Are you hungry? Do you want to eat anything?”
“You were injured so badly and it must have taken a toll on your health. You need to nourish yourself properly during this period of time.”
Jiang Yiru chuckled. “I’m very relieved just by knowing that you’re here. Don’t worry. It’s all external injuries. I’ll be all right after a period of time.”
In fact, she did not eat anything. It was already noon now and she did not have any appetite as she was still worried about their circumstance.
Moreover, the ration allocated by the brigade would not be much, given their identity. All the grandpas and grandmas here did not have it easy and everyone’s rations were insufficient, thus they felt embarrassed to ask for food.
Of course, they were hungry at this time.
Gu Qingyao understood though. “Teacher, your injuries are severe. I’ll go back and cook some porridge for you and Grandfather Qin. You all should eat something light these two days. I’ll bring the medicine over when I’m done brewing it. And for clothes, I’ll go back and make two sets of clothes for both of you to wear first. You must not wear a cotton jacket on such a chilly day.”
Jiang Yiru smiled as she held Gu Qingyao’s hands, gratified.
“Silly girl, don’t busy yourself. I’m already very satisfied with the current situation. If you’re making yourself so busy, are you thinking of raising us, two old fellows? Every family is having it tough. Just take care of yourself first.”
“It’s not that Grandfather Qin and I cannot move. When we recover and can labor, we can earn work points and raise ourselves already.”
Gu Qingyao pursed her lips as emotions crept into her heart.
She knew why Jiang Yiru said that.
Intelligent people were the most sensitive.
Jiang Yiru knew that there were more than ten grandpas and grandmas staying here. If Gu Qingyao treated them too well and made all the arrangements for them, what about the rest?
Was she going to raise all of them as well?
How would it be easy to raise so many old people?
Even occasionally looking after them was a great burden, much less raising them.
She did not wish to cause her little disciple to end up in that state because of herself!
Gu Qingyao spoke to them for a while before returning to the Gus.
The Gu family residence was actually considered to be near the cowshed, but it was not together with those grandpas and grandmas.
It was a winter day and there was not much work thus everyone was at home. Gu Yunshen probably told everyone about what Gu Qingyao said when he returned home.
Gu Qingyao cooked the porridge and then went to the storeroom where everyone was surrounding a fire to warm themselves up.
“Jiangnan Medical Family? Jiang family?” Gu Chonghua was extremely surprised by what Gu Yunshen said. However, Gu Yunshen did not know much, and when Gu Qingyao came back, the old man could not stop himself from asking about it.
Gu Qingyao sat by the fire and nodded. “Mhm! It’s the renowned medical family in Jiangnan, the Jiang family. My current teacher is Jiang Yiru.”
