Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1309

Song Yan, busy munching on a steamed bun, nodded. When he nearly choked, he quickly drank the chicken soup. Feeling the warmth spreading in his stomach, he let out a sigh of satisfaction. "Ah~"

Curious, Lu Cheng asked, "Doctor Song, have you been skipping meals?"

Shaking his head, Song Yan swallowed his food before answering, "I had two surgeries yesterday and worked a night shift. I was too busy to go to the cafeteria, so I just settled for some pancakes."

"You only had pancakes for the whole day?" Wang Muxiao asked in surprise.

"If we don't have time, we often just eat a piece of candy to keep our sugar levels up," Song Yan replied casually.

At this moment, Lu Cheng and his wife looked at him with pity. They hadn't expected his life to be so difficult. No matter how much money he earned, what was the point if he couldn't even eat a proper meal?

With this thought, Wang Muxiao patted her husband's arm and said, "Husband, don't we still have those ginseng slices? Give some to Doctor Song."

Hearing this, Lu Cheng nodded, took a small package from his bag, and said, "Doctor Song, these are ginseng slices my mother gave me. Keep them with you. When you feel tired, chew a slice—it will help you regain energy."

When Song Yan heard this, he quickly shook his head and said, "That's too precious. I can't accept it. I'm already eating your food—it would be impolite to take your ginseng as well."

Wang Muxiao laughed and said, "Doctor Song, you already treat yourself like family, so why be polite now?"

Hearing this, Song Yan blushed and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry for being impolite."

Waving her hand, Wang Muxiao said generously, "Don't worry about it. My husband and I like being straightforward. We don't like distant politeness. It's nice that you didn't treat us like strangers."

Lu Cheng nodded and added, "If you consider us friends, then just accept it."

After saying this, he shoved the ginseng slices into Song Yan's pocket with a smile.

Since they had already given it to him, it would be rude to refuse. So, he accepted it and said, "Thank you, Brother Lu. Thank you, Sister-in-law."

While the three of them chatted happily, the mother-in-law of a young woman across the bed muttered under her breath, "That couple is so calculative. With just a little food and fake ginseng, they managed to befriend a doctor. So shameless."

Hearing her mother-in-law's words, the young woman glanced at the opposite bed and sighed in relief when she saw that they hadn't heard her.

She looked at her mother-in-law and said, "Mother, please don't—"

Before she could finish, the old woman glared at her and snapped, "Look at you! So useless!"

"Look at that woman—she gave birth to a pair of sons and even made connections with a doctor. And you? All you do is cry and eat! If you can't give birth to a son next year, I will have my son divorce you and send you back to your family!" she added menacingly.
