Her Cultivation Diary

Chapter 30: Dr. Xiaozhang, who gets things done_1

Wu Lan was determined to make a statement, so even when it came to the wild vegetables intended for her own relatives, she still patiently picked and chose them with her family.

Song Tan looked at the friend requests that hadn’t been approved and thought to herself that her life-saving benefactor was really too mysterious!

Just as she was about to send another request, she received a message from Dr. Zhang Yuan:

[Are your family’s wild vegetables for sale?]

Before she could reply, a second message followed closely:

[My colleagues all find them delicious and want to buy some, no matter the price!]

[I will cover the shipping costs!]

From this, it was clear that Dr. Zhang Yuan was better suited to being a doctor; he had not grasped even a smidgen of the art of bargaining, and only his urgency showed through.

Song Tan felt helpless and sent him a few screenshots of announcements from the group:

“Doctor Zhang, I’m sorry, but we’re not selling the wild vegetables anymore.”

“However, I still have some prepared for my family, so I’ll send them to you later. For your own consumption, there’s no need for payment.”

In Ning Province Hospital, Zhang Yuan saw the first message and felt like he was having a heart attack.

Now, was it really for him that the wild vegetables were needed?

Clearly, it was the hospital leaders!

It all began with the leader’s casual joke at lunchtime, which had resulted in the dish being served in the cafeteria.

The head chef was mischievous too; every person from the department who came to get food got a few vegetable leaves added to their plate, with the leaders receiving a few more.

Oh boy!

Just a simple blanch and cold mix, and the taste was out of this world! After tasting that, the rest of the cafeteria food felt like comparing a heavenly herb to dry straw, with no basis for comparison.

So, Dr. Zhang Yuan’s popularity surged recently in the hospital, and the nurses in his department treated him with extra kindness and smiles.

The hospital leader even pretended to casually mention:

“Dr. Xiaozhang, you’ve been performing well lately. Didn’t a patient even bring you wild vegetables? They tasted really good! You know, vegetables grown locally in the village are the best…”

Even if Dr. Xiaozhang had been a fool, he would have caught on by now.

So he said to the leader:

“Then, shall I ask if these wild vegetables are for sale? I’ll pass your card on to them later!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than he felt the head nurse twist his lower back fiercely.

Zhang Yuan almost jumped up in response!

The leader’s expression also changed to something strange at that moment, a mix of surprise and astonishment.

But in the end, the leader smiled, patted his shoulder, and said, “Good job, you’re someone who gets things done. Remember to add me on WeChat in the group and send over your card.”

Of course, once the leader had left, the head nurse, who usually bossed him around, looked at him with a ‘disappointed in you’ gaze!

She made it clear to Dr. Xiaozhang how he should behave.

And now, in his anxiety and haste, he had come to ask for an update.

Upon hearing the vegetables were gone, it felt like his grand ambitions had slipped into a ditch—utterly cold and thoroughly chilling.

Turning to look at the screenshots of the announcements—21 pounds and still so many people fighting to buy?!

The impoverished doctor let out a cry of despair and began to feel fortunate he hadn’t mentioned giving the vegetables to the leaders.

But… the patient was about to send them?

[That won’t do!] Dr. Xiaozhang was very principled:

[That’s not right; whatever the price is, I’ll transfer the money to you.]

[Oh right, did you add that WeChat account I gave you earlier?]

Speaking of which, Song Tan felt resigned, “Dr. Zhang Yuan, it seems the person really doesn’t want to be disturbed, so I won’t insist—could you just let me know if they weren’t injured?”

Zhang Yuan’s inner balance wavered—although the patient himself asked for confidentiality, his condition wasn’t very good and he seemed very negative, while his family actually hoped for more communication…

The wishes of the family were also very important!

“`

Soon, he made a decision:

“It’s not great. When he pulled you out, the car exploded, and he shielded you with his entire body. He suffered extensive burns all over his body, even his facial skin.”

But Song Tan, who he had shielded beneath him, was unharmed.

This was also the reason Dr. Zhang Yuan was willing to reveal the news; after all, the price of saving her had been too high.

“Right now, the other party’s mood probably isn’t great, his mom didn’t say much, just agreed for me to provide the contact information.”

Song Tan was also stunned.

She remembered that nonsense fortune-telling session; if the result hadn’t been so casually delivered, would she have been leisurely waiting for the outcome?

She should have hurried directly to the police station or the hospital for information!

Now, she owed a great debt of gratitude.

And…

She spread her hands, her current capabilities were insufficient to fully restore someone’s health. She would have to wait until after Foundation Establishment, at least!

With this in mind, Song Tan sighed, “Mom, pick out the best of the wild vegetables and keep an extra ten pounds for me to give away. Put more shepherd’s purse in it.”

That was because it could be used to make dumplings and could be preserved, something almost everyone loved.

Thinking of Dr. Zhang Yuan, she added, “Another ten pounds for gifts.”

Wu Lan glanced at the several baskets of vegetables; whether she gave them to one family or ten, since they couldn’t be sold for money, they were just wild vegetables to her:

“Sure, are you giving them to your colleagues?”

Song Tan hummed in agreement, she wasn’t ready to talk about the car accident yet, otherwise, Wu Lan would be worried every time she drove.

As for colleagues and friends…

The memory of her school friends had already faded away, and although she didn’t lack friends at work, Huo Xueying could be considered a close friend.

But… this girl also lived in a small rented apartment, ate out for every meal and didn’t even have a pot for cooking instant noodles at home; giving her fresh wild vegetables was pointless, she simply couldn’t use them, so better forget it.

However, before delivering the vegetables, she needed to be approved as a friend by her lifesaver first!!!

So she sent the friend request again:

[Hello, I am Song Tan, the one you rescued from the car.]

Beyond that, she didn’t know what else to say.

…

Meanwhile, at Imperial City Ren’ai Hospital.

Lun Jing looked at her son, who was slowly eating porridge, her face full of distress: “What did the doctor say about when you can eat normally?”

Lun Chuan replied calmly, “I can start tomorrow, the wounds on my face no longer feel tight.”

Lun Jing breathed a sigh of relief.

She then remembered the message Dr. Zhang Yuan had sent and couldn’t help asking, “The young lady you saved keeps asking for your contact information, saying she added you as a friend. Why don’t you accept her request?”

Lun Chuan shook his head, “Mom, I’m afraid that if it gets out, he will start making trouble again.”

Lun Jing knew exactly whom “he” referred to.

Who knows where he saw the video, saying that his son looked like the one who had performed the heroic deed. Such accolades should not be missed, so he immediately called the reporters and camera crew—

If it weren’t for that, why would Lun Chuan have needed to be transferred to the Imperial City overnight?

He was not out of touch with worldly affairs; there was no need to hide having done a good deed.

But he wanted nothing to do with the glory that his biological father might claim.

Lun Jing fell silent.

Twenty-eight years ago, she was pregnant and confronted by her husband’s mistress at her doorstep, which led to her divorce from Zhou Yongzhi.

She still vividly remembered his face at the time of the divorce—

“Xiaojing, don’t blame me. The doctor already told us it’s a girl. Why won’t you agree to terminate it? What family doesn’t want a son to carry on the lineage?”

“It’s different with Lanlan; she’s carrying a boy, and I can’t let my son be born in shame.”
