Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife-Chapter 1308: A Starving Ghost
With no one around, Lu Jueyu took out several boxes of seeds from her space. Since her husband didn't want her to give them high-quality seeds, she chose the lowest-grade seeds available in her space.
Thinking about the vegetables available in winter, she decided to give a greater variety in smaller quantities to her second brother-in-law.
Knowing that her friend, now sister-in-law, loved spicy food, she included Sichuan pepper, Er Jing Tao chili, and Xiao Mi La chili seeds.
Besides those, she also prepared strawberry, bok choy, soybean, cherry tomato, Boston lettuce, cauliflower, spinach, and several common vegetable seeds such as carrots, eggplants, cucumbers, and pole beans.
She packed the seeds using oil paper and placed them in a jar. By the time she was done, an hour had passed. Feeling bored, she went to find her husband.
While he worked, she sat nearby, reading a book and sipping juice—spending her time leisurely.
Meanwhile, at the county town hospital, Song Yan heard about Wang Muxiao's situation from his teacher when he came to buy medicine for Li Shu.
Although he had no direct relationship with the Lu family, his teacher and his friendship with Lu Jueyu gave him a reason to pay a visit.
Knowing she had just given birth to twins, Song Yan went to the state-owned grain and supply store to buy two kilograms of brown sugar, two cans of milk powder, a bottle of sesame oil, and two kilograms of raw peanuts.
The peanuts could be used to stew bone soup to nourish the mother's body and increase her milk supply.
When he returned to the hospital, a nurse was surprised to see him and asked, "Doctor Song, didn't you go back home? Did a patient have an emergency?"
Song Yan smiled at her and replied, "I came to visit a friend's family. Comrade, could you help me check which ward a patient named Wang Muxiao is in?"
The nurse checked her folder for a moment before saying, "Doctor Song, Comrade Wang Muxiao is resting in ward number 117."
Getting the ward number, Song Yan smiled and said, "Thank you, Comrade."
After he left, the nurse continued staring at his back and let out a long sigh while saying, "Doctor Song is as handsome as ever."
Hearing her words, another nurse said, "You should stop your wishful thinking. I heard from Doctor Gu that Doctor Song already has someone in his heart."
The nurses were surprised by this shocking news. They gathered around, and one of them asked in a low voice, "How is that possible? Didn't Doctor Song refuse the hospital director's attempt to introduce him to his daughter?"
"I'm not sure about the details, but I did hear that Doctor Song asked Doctor Gu how to propose to a girl. It seems he proposed but was rejected," another nurse whispered.
As soon as they heard this, their eyes widened in shock.
Song Yan was the most handsome and popular doctor in their hospital. With his good looks, great talent, bright future, and prominent family background, he was the dream man for most of the women in the hospital.
They couldn't believe that someone as good as him had been rejected. Rather than wondering why, they were now more curious about the woman who had turned him down.

Unaware that his private life had become a hot topic, Song Yan knocked on the door before entering the ward.
The moment the other patients and their families saw him, their eyes lit up. No one disliked good-looking people, especially when they were wearing a doctor's coat.
Song Yan looked around and spotted Lu Cheng at the innermost bed, recognizing him due to his resemblance to Lu Jueyu.
Seeing a doctor approaching, Lu Cheng looked at him with doubt.
"Hello, Brother Lu. My name is Song Yan. I'm your brother-in-law's friend," Song Yan introduced himself when he reached the bedside.
Hearing this, Lu Cheng stood up and said, "Hello—Doctor Song. My brother-in-law… you mean Li Chenmo?"
Song Yan nodded, handed the gifts to him, and said, "I heard about your wife from my teacher, Doctor Xie, so I came to visit on his behalf."
The moment Lu Cheng heard Doctor Xie's name, he smiled and said, "So you are the handsome doctor the aunties in the village keep talking about. You really are good-looking."
Song Yan was caught off guard by his straightforwardness. After a moment of embarrassment, he laughed and said, "Brother Lu, you are overpraising me."
While Lu Cheng was laughing, Wang Muxiao quickly said, "Doctor Song, thank you for coming. Please have a seat."
Hearing his wife's words, Lu Cheng realized his rudeness and said, "Doctor Song, please sit down. Have you eaten? My brother just sent some breakfast over."
He was only being polite, but Song Yan took his words seriously. Since Lu Jueyu's food was delicious, her family's cooking shouldn't be bad either.
Having just finished a night shift, he was both hungry and exhausted. So, when he heard Lu Cheng's words, he nodded and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu."
Lu Cheng and Wang Muxiao were taken aback. They hadn't expected him to accept their offer. But since they had invited him, Lu Cheng could only open the layered bamboo basket and take out the dishes.
He pulled over the small table from the corner and placed a basket of steamed buns, a bowl of fresh fruit, and a pair of chopsticks on it.
While scooping a bowl of chicken soup for Song Yan, he asked, "Doctor Song, do you like soy milk? My sister-in-law made it this morning."
Song Yan wasn't polite and nodded, "I'd love to try it."
After handing him the bowl of chicken soup, Lu Cheng poured a glass of warm soy milk and placed it on the table.
He then sat at the edge of his wife's bed, watching as the young doctor ate as if he hadn't had a proper meal in a week.
At this moment, the handsome doctor looks like a starving ghost devouring the food at a fast speed.
