Yunyi delivered the news and didn't stay long.
In any case, the Branch Secretary's family had been very kind to her during her time in Songling Village, so she considered this repaying a favor.
Leaving the Branch Secretary's house, she headed straight for Zhao Guihua's. "Auntie."
Zhao Guihua looked up, saw it was Yunyi, and smiling, hurriedly went to greet her. "Chu Zhiqing, what brings you here today?"
Yunyi saw no one else was in the courtyard. "Auntie," she said, "I came to chat with you for a bit."
Zhao Guihua was shrewd; from Yunyi's words, she understood something must be up. "Come, come inside and sit with Auntie for a while."
The two chatted idly as they walked into the house.
Upon entering, Zhao Guihua gestured her to the warmest spot on the kang. "Chu Zhiqing, please sit. Auntie will pour you some water."
Yunyi quickly stopped her. "Auntie, please don't trouble yourself. I have something to tell you. You sit down too."
