[1980s + Everyday Life + Tough Man Dotes on His Wife + Size Difference + No Rebirth, Transmigration, or Golden Finger]
Ye Lan is the famous beauty of the tofu trade for miles around, but she married a “Chen Shimei” who dreams of going to college. Her husband takes the money she earns selling tofu to the city to chase women, leaving her in the countryside to care for his parents.
A fearsome butcher named Lu Ye moves in next door. With a face full of bulging muscles, he's the sort of man who could scare a small child into silence.
Everyone says Ye Lan has had a hard life. Not only is she trapped in a loveless marriage, she also has a terrifying neighbor.
Then one rainy night, her in-laws try to hand her over to a lecherous deadbeat to settle their debts. Lu Ye kicks the door open with his butcher's knife and carries her trembling body back to his home.
“Why are you crying? If he doesn't want you, I'll take care of you!”
Amid the rich scent of meat, the man's rough fingertips brush the tofu crumbs from the corner of her mouth. “So fair and tender, even more delicate than pork fat.”
Later, when her husband returns from the city to throw his weight around, he finds the once-arrogant butcher kneeling on a washboard, washing Ye Lan's feet.
It's great! I didn't expect the scale to expand so much later on, hahaha.
