Chapter 9 : Too Precious

• "Boss Zhou, I don't have a bank card. Can you give me cash instead?"
• "Ah? Of course!"
• After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Jingrong naturally agreed.
• It seemed that her guess was correct. Lin Fan was not only innocent, but he might have never left the county before.
• Originally, she planned to give Lin Fan more money, but he refused, saying it was against the rules...
• Watching the slender figure staring as the tricycle went further away, Zhou Jingrong's heart took a long time to calm down.
• "I hope you bring me some surprises soon..."
• After receiving the money, Lin Fan first went to the market to buy some vegetables and half a pig.
• He saw a large refrigerator at Zhang Ling's house this morning, and there was still space even after putting in half a pig.
• It wasn't easy to come out of Minghu Village to the county town, so it wouldn't hurt to buy more meat.
• After buying the vegetables, he also purchased some daily necessities such as pots and pans.
• If it weren't for the fact that the tricycle couldn't fit any more, Lin Fan would have bought more.
• With a car full of supplies, Lin Fan started to return.
• Passing by a large Baobao Chinese Medicine Shop, he went inside and bought a set of acupuncture tools and some Chinese medicinal materials.
• By the time he returned to the village, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.
• This trip was not easy. Sun Jianguo's tricycle was almost falling apart.
• "Brother Lin Fan! You're back! Wow! Did you buy so many things?"
• Seeing the tricycle full of supplies, Zhang Ling hurriedly ran forward to help.
• She had been worried about Lin Fan all day and couldn't even eat lunch.
• "Now that I have money, I can be extravagant!"
• "Brother, did you sell the fish?"
• "Of course, I sold it for fifty thousand yuan. Otherwise, how could I afford to buy so many things?"
• "Hehe, Brother Lin Fan is amazing! He even bought pork! And so much of it!"
• Seeing Lin Fan unloading half a pig, Zhang Ling was shocked. Fifty thousand yuan!
• For her, that was a huge sum of money!
• "It's not much. Look at how skinny you've become due to malnutrition. Of course, you need to eat more."
• "Oh, I see. Thank you, Brother Lin Fan!"
• Zhang Ling humbly lowered her head. She had been eating noodles all these days, and she had always been frugal. Her nutrition was definitely not up to standard...
• "Come, help me stabilize the tricycle."
• "Okay."
• After Zhang Ling stabilized the tricycle, Lin Fan took out the half pig.
• "Wow! Brother Lin Fan, did you buy a whole pig?"
• She hadn't seen meat in a long time, and Lin Fan suddenly brought back half a pig.
• It shocked her.
• "No, just half. Aunt Chen has difficulty moving, and I'm worried when you go out. Both you and Aunt Chen need to replenish your nutrition, so it's okay to have more meat."
• "Okay."
• Zhang Ling humbly accepted and firmly made up her mind.
• She had decided to be with Lin Fan for the rest of her life!
• "I asked the vendor to give me a few pounds. I'll give some to the village chief when I return the tricycle."
• "Brother Lin Fan, you're so kind!"
• "Haha."
• While laughing, Lin Fan carried the half pig into the yard.
• "Xiaofan, did you buy this? How much did it cost? My family..."
• "Aunt Chen, please don't worry. I finally came back, and this is my gift to you. Don't mention money to me, I don't need it."
• Before Chen Yanfang could finish speaking, Lin Fan interrupted her.
• "This!"
• Seeing Lin Fan's earnestness, she didn't know what to say.
• "Aunt Chen, please don't be polite. If it weren't for Uncle Hui, I would have starved to death long ago. Now that I have achieved something, I must repay him."
• "Alright! No matter what, the Zhang family will remember your kindness. We will definitely repay this money. Right, Xiaoling?"
• "Yes, when I graduate, I will earn money to repay Brother Lin Fan."
• Zhang Ling said determinedly.
• "Okay, listen to Xiaoling. I'll take the things home first and return the tricycle to the village chief later."
• "Okay, Brother Lin Fan, I'll go cook. Brother Lin Fan, make sure to come back for dinner."
• "Haha, then I'll save a meal today."
• "Brother Lin Fan always teases me. Go and do your work."
• Zhang Ling pouted and didn't continue talking to Lin Fan.
• The meat and vegetables at home were all bought by Lin Fan, not just these.
• He also bought a new frying pan, a pressure cooker for cooking rice, and condiments.
• He bought these daily necessities for Zhang Ling's family, and he also bought them for himself.
• After putting everything away, he pushed the cart to Sun Jianguo's house.
• Some villagers were originally in Sun Jianguo's yard.
• When they saw Lin Fan pushing the cart from afar, they exchanged glances and left before he arrived.
• "Xiaofan, you're back. How's it going? Did you sell that big fish?"
• "Of course I did! And I sold it for a good price. Look, I brought some meat for Uncle Sun. Don't dislike it."
• Lin Fan parked the cart and handed a few pounds of meat to Sun Jianguo.
• "Huh?"
• Sun Jianguo's eyes widened.
• He weighed the meat in his pocket. It was such a big chunk.
• It was probably no less than ten pounds!
• One pound of pork fluctuated between ten to thirteen yuan, so this was over a hundred yuan!
• Sun Jianguo had worked as a steel worker in the city before, earning eighty yuan a day.
• This meat was worth one and a half days of his wages!
• "Xiaofan! This is too precious! It's too expensive."
• "Uncle Sun, please don't refuse. Otherwise, I won't dare to borrow things from you in the future."
• "This child..."
• "Huh? Xiaofan is here. Why did you bring so much meat?"
• A plump woman ran out of the kitchen, took the transparent bag from Lin Fan's hand, and her smile never faded from her face.
• Her name was Liu Cuihua, Sun Jianguo's wife, and she was the same generation as Lin Fan's parents.
• "Hello, Auntie. I went to the county town and bought some meat."
• "Good, Auntie will go cook. You should stay for dinner tonight, Brother Lin Fan."
• "This woman!"
• Seeing Liu Cuihua running into the kitchen with the meat, Sun Jianguo's face turned black...
