The village market.
Luo Dazhuang was slicing meat while staring at a red sports car parked nearby.
He wasn't looking at the car, but at the woman inside.
He kept watching, his knife almost slicing his hand with every cut.
Charming, alluring, her every move could stir his soul.
She was so much more beautiful than his own rough-handed wife!
"Hey, hey, hey, where are you cutting?"
Li Guifang noticed his distraction and scolded him, "You've ruined a perfectly good piece of pork belly, who's going to buy it now?"
"Oh." Luo Dazhuang snapped back to reality, only to find the pork belly on the chopping board almost minced, and his hand nearly injured.
"So what if it's minced? Don't people buy minced meat for dumplings?"
"You're still talking back!"
Li Guifang was furious, and cursed again, "Do you think premium pork belly and minced meat cost the same?"
She followed the direction Luo Dazhuang had been staring and happened to see Su Yurou in the car, touching up her makeup in the rearview mirror.
Su Yurou's posture was elegant, her demeanor alluring, and her beauty striking.
In comparison, Li Guifang became enraged.
"So that's why you've been so absent-minded, you've been staring at that slutty fox!"
Li Guifang strode aggressively in front of Luo Dazhuang and fumed, "What's the point of looking at her?"
"Look at yourself, and look at the car she's driving. You can't even afford one of its tires!"
Luo Dazhuang gritted his teeth, "What was I looking at?"
He was already in a bad mood, and after being scolded twice by Li Guifang, he became angry too.
"I ruined one piece of meat, and you're still going on about it?"
"Are we going to continue, or am I leaving?"
Li Guifang put her hands on her hips and yelled, "You still won't admit it!"
"I'll let you look. You can look all you want. It would be a miracle if she even glanced your way!"
"A toad wanting to eat swan meat, you're dreaming!"
Luo Dazhuang scoffed indignantly, "You're the toad!"
"Your whole family are toads!"
In Luo Dazhuang's mind, Su Yurou's charming and alluring image was vivid, making him increasingly annoyed with Li Guifang.
Li Guifang grabbed a nearby iron hook and asked coldly, "What did you say?"
"Say that again, you bastard!"
Luo Dazhuang glanced at the iron hook in her hand and sneered, "I'll say it again if I want to..."
Just then, other vendors who saw the couple about to fight hurried over to intervene.
It took them considerable effort to pull Luo Dazhuang aside.
Li Guifang, still muttering curses, sat back down to continue cleaning the pig offal.
Hearing the commotion, Su Yurou instinctively glanced over.
She merely cast a fleeting glance before resuming her makeup.
Just common villagers, she had nothing to do with them.
Five minutes later, Lin Fan walked over.
Luo Dazhuang was glumly slicing meat, but his spirits lifted when he saw Lin Fan approaching.
"Xiao Fan, here to buy meat?"
Lin Fan blinked in surprise and smiled, "I actually forgot about the market today. But I don't need to buy meat today, I think we still have some at home. If not, my sister-in-law can come buy some later."
As he spoke, Lin Fan stopped in front of the meat stall.
Seeing this, Li Guifang immediately turned her back, as if ashamed.
Tsk tsk!
It seemed Luo Dazhuang still didn't know about her affair with Wang Fu, and she wondered when he would find out.
"Buy some, we slaughtered a fat pig this morning, the meat is delicious!"
Luo Dazhuang stepped out from behind the stall and said playfully, "Xiao Fan, I heard you've opened a medical clinic and are doing quite well!"
"Not at all, just making a living."
As Lin Fan was taking out his phone, he noticed the red sports car on the main road.
"Wow, your phone isn't cheap, and you say you're just making a living?"
Even so, Luo Dazhuang didn't take Lin Fan's words to heart.
He had been selling pork for over a decade and wasn't short of money.
No matter how profitable Lin Fan's clinic was, it wouldn't surpass his wealth anytime soon.
He blinked a few times and asked, "Xiao Fan, do you have a girlfriend?"
"When are you getting married?"
Lin Fan was taken aback and replied, "Not yet."
"That won't do, you're not getting any younger, you need to hurry!"
Luo Dazhuang glanced at Li Guifang behind him, and his anger subsided significantly.
"Listen to your Uncle, find someone who's serious about building a life, don't worry about looks, just someone who can help you share the burden."
Lin Fan nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, yes."
He felt extremely awkward, "Even if you find someone serious about life, regardless of looks, you can't find someone who's cheating outside!"
Why was Luo Dazhuang feeling so smug?
Lin Fan felt a lump in his chest, wishing he could tell Luo Dazhuang the truth.
Luo Dazhuang looked proud and smiled, "Xiao Fan, you're right to listen to me, you need to find someone steady to build a life with, then life will get better, you'll buy a house and a car, and life will be wonderful!"
Luo Dazhuang said this because he had just bought a new car, costing over 110,000 yuan. Unfortunately, he couldn't drive it out for business, otherwise, he would have taken Lin Fan for a ride.
Beep beep beep!
Three consecutive honks of the horn attracted everyone's attention.
Lin Fan looked back and saw Su Yurou staring intently in their direction.
"Dazhuang, I'll talk to you later, I have something to do."
Lin Fan finished speaking and turned towards the red sports car.
The two doors lifted high like wings, and then, under the envious gazes of many, Lin Fan slid into the passenger seat.
"Darling~ I've been waiting for you for so long, and you're not even in a hurry!"
Su Yurou leaned her body against Lin Fan's arm, acting very intimately.
"Don't get too close to me, it's market day, and so many people are watching."
Lin Fan glanced outside and happened to meet Luo Dazhuang's gaze.
Luo Dazhuang's jaw dropped, wide enough to fit a whole steamed bun.
Li Guifang also walked out from behind the stall, looking at Lin Fan in the sports car with disbelief.
Seeing this, Lin Fan immediately urged Su Yurou, "Let's go!"
"Hmph, heartless."
Su Yurou let out a delicate huff, then slowly started the car.
The roaring engine sound captivated everyone in the market.
The fiery red sports car, under the gaze of the crowd, gradually drove away.
"What?"
"What's going on with Xiao Fan?"
Luo Dazhuang muttered to himself, his mind a blank.
Li Guifang sidled up and whispered, "How did he get involved with that city vixen? She looks much older than him, could he have been...?"
Luo Dazhuang glared at her fiercely, thinking, "She's so beautiful, even if she was ten years older, plenty of men would still be interested!"
"Why didn't she fancy me?"
The words blurted out of Luo Dazhuang's mouth.
He felt his physique was much better than Lin Fan's, and he should be more attractive than Lin Fan.
"You?"
Li Guifang punched him hard and cursed hatefully, "You think you're worthy? What are you?"
"How dare you speak like that?"
"What, I can't even speak the truth anymore?"
And so, the couple started arguing again, looking like they were about to come to blows.
Fortunately, the surrounding vendors intervened and calmed them down.
