The indifference she experienced during this period made Zhao Pandi doubt herself, as if the world were cold and indifferent.
Aside from Xia Lan and the others, she felt the world was cold. Suddenly receiving care from her elders, a sense of grievance welled up inside her.
Like a child who has suffered all kinds of grievances, she can no longer hold back her tears when she receives care.
Xiao Yuqin quickly stepped forward and hugged her, but the more she comforted her, the more Zhao Pandi cried.
"I...I can't stop..."
Zhao Pandi tried desperately to wipe away her tears, but they wouldn't listen.
"It's okay, it's okay! I'll just change my clothes in a bit!"
Xiao Yuqin said with heartache, "This child must have suffered so much."
The gentler Xiao Yuqin was, the more Zhao Pandi couldn't get over it. Holding Xiao Yuqin, he vented all the emotions that had been building up inside him.
Qin Jun and Qin Yu looked at them, and Qin Jun sighed.
After Zhao Pandi finished crying, she fell into a dazed state, which made Xiao Yuqin laugh.
"Come on, let's eat first!"
The spoon was placed in Zhao Pandi's hand, and Zhao Pandi nodded obediently, as if she had lost her soul, and obediently ate the eight-treasure porridge.
Xiao Yuqin smiled as she watched Zhao Pandi finish her eight-treasure porridge, then led her to the bathroom to wipe her face before taking her back to her room to rest.
When Xiao Yuqin came out, Xia Lan also woke up, yawning as she walked out of the room.
"Mom? Why is there a wet patch on you?"
"Lanlan is awake? Perfect timing for dinner! I'll go change my clothes and come right over."
Xiao Yuqin smiled and Qin Yu heard Xia Lan's voice, so he quickly came over and led her to the dining table, and then took the cold dishes back to the kitchen to reheat them.
When Xiao Yuqin came out after changing her clothes, the dishes on the table were already heated up.
Xia Lan had already heard Qin Yu recount what had just happened, and she was amazed that Zhao Pandi was able to vent her emotions in front of Xiao Yuqin.
She thought this was a good thing.
"Mom, thank you for everything!"
Xia Lan said gratefully.
“Pan Di’s emotions have always been very calm, and she avoids talking about family matters. I’ve been a little worried about her; she’s suppressing herself too much.”
"There are some things she can't vent to in front of you!"
Xiao Yuqin smiled and served Xia Lan some food.
“When a child is wronged, friends can’t comfort her because she has self-esteem. I am her elder, so she is more likely to confide in me.”
Hearing Xiao Yuqin's words, Xia Lan nodded in agreement.
No matter how much she tried to coax him, they were still of the same generation, and it was normal that Zhao Pandi didn't want to show that vulnerability in front of her.
That was all the dignity she had left.
"Mom, you should pay more attention to her. She's never received much love or affection from her elders."
Xia Lan smiled at Xiao Yuqin.
"Don't worry! It breaks my heart to see this child like this. How could her mother treat such a good child like this..."
Xiao Yuqin immediately agreed.
Xiao Yuqin also quite liked Zhao Pandi, this well-behaved and sensible child.
"Don't be afraid to ask her to do anything just because you feel sorry for her. This child won't have any wild thoughts if she has something to do!"
Qin Jun instructed Xiao Yuqin, as he could tell that Zhao Pandi must be quite capable at home as well.
Suddenly arriving in an unfamiliar environment and staying in someone else's home can certainly make you feel uneasy.
If you want to put her at ease, then put her at ease.
"Dad is right!"
Xia Lan also agreed with Qin Jun's opinion.
If we want Zhao Pandi to feel at ease, then we should go along with her wishes.
"Okay, I understand."
Xiao Yuqin originally didn't want Zhao Pandi to do any work, but after hearing Qin Jun and Xia Lan's words, she understood.
Zhao Pandi settled down at the Qin family's house.
The next morning, Zhao Pandi got up at five o'clock to prepare breakfast for them, but the kitchens in the city and the village were different, and Zhao Pandi couldn't figure out how to make it.
"Pan Di, what are you doing? It's only five in the morning..."
Xia Lan rubbed her eyes and yawned as she came out, looking at Zhao Pandi and asking in confusion.
"I...I want to make you breakfast..."
Zhao Pandi was a little embarrassed.
Did I disturb you? I'm sorry.
Zhao Pandi lowered her head, and Xia Lan knew what was going on when she saw her like that.
"Come on! Let's go to sleep!"
Without saying a word, Xia Lan took Zhao Pandi's hand and went back to her room.
Zhao Pandi tidied the bed up clean, and Xia Lan pushed her onto the bed.
"Lanlan, I'm awake!"
Zhao Pandi said shyly that she had already made her bed.
"Shut up! Go to sleep."
Xia Lan lay down beside her, holding her hand, and then fell asleep again.
Zhao Pandi's hand was held by Xia Lan, and her hand gradually warmed her cold hand as she looked at Xia Lan sleeping so soundly.
A wave of drowsiness washed over Zhao Pandi, and she fell asleep holding Xia Lan's hand.
In his half-dreaming state, Qin Yu touched the bed and suddenly felt something icy cold, which startled him.
Where is his wife?
Where did my wife go?
The bed is already cold, where is my wife?
Qin Yu immediately rushed out of the room to look for Xia Lan.
I thought Xia Lan was going to the restroom, but there was no one there.
There was no trace of Xia Lan anywhere—in the courtyard, in the rooms, in the living room.
Even Qin Jun and Xiao Yuqin were awakened by Qin Yu's commotion.
"Son, what's wrong?"
Xiao Yuqin asked, puzzled.
Who should I look for if I'm in such a panic?
It couldn't be that the daughter-in-law got lost, could it?
"Lanlan is missing."
Qin Yu's face was cold. They had searched the whole family's house, but there was only one room left to search...
Clinging to his last shred of hope, Qin Yu opened Zhao Pandi's room.
