Chapter 42: Comfort



After dinner, Cheng Jie came to pick up Gu Tingzhou. He also thoughtfully put a board on his bicycle for Gu Tingzhou to put his injured leg on.

After cleaning the house and applying medicine to Zhaodi's wound, Li Qingyun began to rummage through the drawers.

Pandi came here in a hurry and didn't bring anything with her, so she had to prepare all her daily necessities, especially clothes, shoes and socks.

Li Qingyun found some small clothes that her original body wore before she gave birth and gave them to Pan Di, asking her to try them on.

But when she put it on, it was still empty, and the exposed parts were just skin and bones, which was shocking to see.

"Sister, these clothes are so good. You can just find some old clothes for me." Pan Di said embarrassedly.

"These are too small for me now. You can wear them. There's a sewing box here. If there's anything that doesn't fit, you can sew it yourself."

"Also, I have some balls of yarn here. I've been so busy that I haven't had time. I wanted to knit sweaters for the two kids, but I haven't had time. If you really want to help, please knit them for me."

Li Qingyun just discovered this when she was rummaging through the kang cabinet. She asked Pan Di to do something, which could not only divert her attention but also make her feel less guilty and live in peace of mind.

"Okay, what kind of knitting do you want?"

Both of them had skillful hands when they were at their mother's house and could knit sweaters. They learned it specifically to knit sweaters for Li Debao.

Every year, when Li Debao's sweaters and trousers were too small, the three sisters would take them apart and make jackets or other small items for themselves.

"I still have a lot of wool balls in my cupboard. I plan to knit two sets of sweaters and trousers for each of the children to wear. I will knit one set and I will knit two sets for you.

For the eldest child, I knit a pullover style, and for the second child, I knit a cardigan style, so that it is easy to put on and take off.

As for us adults, a pullover cardigan will do."

Considering that there were still sweaters and trousers in the original cabinet, Li Qingyun only prepared one set. Pan Di had no clothes, so she had to knit two sets for her.

When winter comes, I will give her some of my old clothes and make her a thick coat to keep her warm. I still have two extra kilograms of cotton in my cupboard.

Pandi was surprised and touched that her elder sister still thought of knitting a sweater for her, and even had one more than she did for herself.

But she still refused: "No need, big sister, make it for my brother-in-law. I am not used to wearing sweaters. I never wore sweaters at my parents' house before. I am not afraid of the cold."

"Don't be polite to me. When you recover from your injury, there are many things you can do to help me. I just knitted these two sweaters, and the other clothes are all my old clothes.

Don't worry, you can live in my house. No one will say anything. It won't be a big deal if I keep you."

Pan Di began to cry again, but this time they were tears of happiness and emotion. Ever since her sister got married and left home, and she herself got married, she had not felt cared for and loved for a long, long time.

"Aunt, why are you crying?" Dabao asked her puzzled.

"Where did so many children come from? Why?" Li Qingyun was afraid that she would feel embarrassed, so she patted Dabao's little head and motioned her to go out and play.

"Oh" Dabao obediently went out to play with his younger brother under the eaves.

"Sister, you are so nice." Better than before.

Li Pandi actually didn't expect that there would be someone in her family who would support her. Even her eldest sister who had always been very kind to her, she didn't dare to expect it.

Her elder sister had been nice to her before, but not so unconditionally. She knew that her elder sister loved her the most, and when it came to interests, her elder sister would give up her for herself.

So she didn't expect that after her elder sister knew her situation, she would help and support her so much and even take her home.

In fact, yesterday on the ox cart, she thought of death for a moment. Rather than returning to her husband's or her own family and continuing this inhuman life, she would rather die cleanly and like a human being beside her elder sister.

But when she saw how her elder sister cared about her, she really didn't want to scare her, so she thought, let her enjoy this last warmth before dying.

After her eldest sister sent her back to her parents' home or her husband's home, she killed herself with a knife to end her life.

However, the eldest sister actually took her home and took such thoughtful care of her.

"Just live well and watch. Your sister and brother-in-law will definitely avenge you." Li Qingyun promised seriously. She had discovered that something was wrong with this girl yesterday and felt completely hopeless. She was afraid that she would give up her life.

"Okay." She believed her sister.

"Look what's in my hand?"

"Sister, where did you get so much money?" Pan Di asked in confusion.

"Of course I'm coming back. You don't know that I went to the Li family yesterday morning and killed everyone there. I scared Li Debao so much that he peed his pants. Coward, we three sisters will never be sucked dry by them again."

Li Qingyun vividly described what happened yesterday, in order to let her know that life will always get better.

"Sister, you are so awesome. I want to be like you in the future and make those who bullied us pay their due." Li Pandi said seriously.

"That's the right way to think. Those who hurt us are still alive and well. In order to see their retribution, we should also live well, live better than them, and make them regret it."

"Yeah." Li Pandi nodded heavily.

Seeing that Pan Di was alive again, Li Qingyun felt relieved.

The two began to chat and laugh with the ball of yarn, discussing how to knit a sweater.

At noon, I stewed a pot of old duck soup. The duck was sent by Cheng Jie before. At that time, only chicken was cooked in the big stew. A duck and two fish were left behind and hung in the well.

The big steamed buns in the morning go perfectly with the old duck soup.

Pan Di was shocked again when she saw the lunch. In the morning, there were steamed buns and fried eggs, and the porridge was thick and fragrant with rice.

She already felt it was a luxury.

She didn't expect that there would be meat at noon, and it was the rare old duck soup, which she had never eaten before.

"Pandi, why don't you eat meat? Come, eat quickly." Li Qingyun picked up a piece of duck breast for him with chopsticks.

"Sister, you and Dabao can eat it. I don't like meat."

"Nonsense, who doesn't like to eat meat? Your brother-in-law and I still have some left in the pot. These are all ours, eat them quickly."

"Yes, Auntie, come and eat, my mother made it delicious."

"That's right, Dabao is right. You don't have to feel burdened. Your sister can still afford to eat some meat. The food in our house has always been good. It didn't change because you came. We have to do the same even if you don't want to eat." Li Qingyun knew that she was worried about him and made it especially for her.

After thinking about it, Li Qingyun lifted the basket from the well and showed it to her.

There were also two big fish and some ribs in the basket.

"See, I lied to you!"

Only then did Pan Di believe it and picked up the duck meat to taste it.

"Aunt, is it delicious?" Dabao looked at her nervously.

"tasty."

"Haha, I'm right, my mom's cooking is delicious."

"Little brat."
