She Only Cares About Cultivation-Chapter 870 - 801: Famine Era 42 (4000 Words)

Wang Tao nodded thoughtfully, gave a brief explanation, and then left the ward. Ye Huan sat in the spot he had just vacated, holding his thickly bandaged large hand with her cold fingers, and then gently rested it against her cheek, shedding silent tears.

"You fool, you’re the brigade commander. How could you be at the front lines? Last time, you saved my brother. Who did you save this time?"

"Are you taking advantage because I haven’t given you a child, so you’re acting so recklessly? Tong Zhan, you big fool, you heartless man, you’re too bad!"

...

Ye Huan couldn’t quite describe her feelings now because the head doctor had quietly told her that in terms of descendants, Tong Zhan might...

This time, it was a close call. The injury was near the base of his leg. Any higher and it might have been his abdomen. An abdominal injury would have unthinkable consequences.

Of course, it wasn’t the injury itself she cared about. What worried her was whether someone as proud and capable as him could accept the fact that he was about to transition from his career.

Actually, Tong Zhan’s not that old. Having gone through various trials, even if he transitions or is reassigned to another position within the system, he can do well. But it may not be as suitable for him as his current role.

She stayed with Tong Zhan for an hour, and as soon as Wang Tao arrived, she left. It was about eight in the evening when he finally woke up.

The first thing he said upon waking was, "I’m sorry... for making you worry."

Ye Huan thought she could hold back, but ultimately, she felt heartache for his haggard appearance. Especially thinking about how lively he was on the morning he left, compared to now, only deepened her pain and suffering.

"Silly, what is there to apologize for? This time your leg got hurt, and it won’t get better in just a few days. Take your time to recover. Our hospital has already approved a budget for me, so once you’re discharged, you’ll stay with me at the hospital. That way, I can check on you during work and take care of you more easily."

Once she uttered those words, Tong Zhan’s eyes dimmed, "Huanhuan, is my situation quite serious?"

Ye Huan had no plans to hide the truth from him, "Yes, when you were saving others, you risked your life. Given your current situation, you could consider it a good deed."

The tone had a hint of sarcasm mixed with heartache, and Tong Zhan naturally heard his wife’s complaints, but he did not regret it.

"At that moment, I had no time to react. Who could have thought that there were infiltrators in our team...."

"Alright, let’s not talk about it anymore. You’ve just woken up, you need to rest. I didn’t mean to blame you, it’s just that you need to understand that although your leg is saved, it can’t fully recover. So, once your injury heals, you might have to step down from your position."

Tong Zhan looked at her with a wry smile, "I can imagine. You don’t have to worry about it. They will come to speak to me about it, and perhaps for me, it’s not entirely a bad thing."

Do you think they might promote you?

It would be nice if that were the case, Ye Huan sighed internally, giving a few instructions before leaving the ward.

He had just woken up and was on nutritional drips. He could only start with liquid food tomorrow, so that night, Ye Huan checked on him several times.

Sometimes he was awake, sometimes half-asleep, and just before dawn, he fell into a deep sleep.

She secretly made him blood-nourishing millet porridge in the space. After the rounds and shift changes at eight, she claimed she borrowed the hospital doctor’s fire to cook it, carefully serving it for him to finish just as military leaders received news of his awakening and came over.

Of course, they first paid their respects to her as the family member before she dutifully left the ward. Presumably, today he would have his course of action.

She went to the bathhouse for a shower, changed clothes, and then returned with Wang Tao to the military base. He returned for a task, and she returned to tidy up the house.

Upon reaching the base, the family members came to express their sympathies. She thanked them one by one before locking the door at home and collecting all the grain and vegetables she could into the space, including Tong Zhan’s clothes and toiletries.

You could say that she left only what was out in the open.

She harvested half of the cabbages and radishes from the ground and left half, planning to ask the military wives to help harvest them in a few days.

After all, they didn’t know exactly how much food was left at home, and she and her husband probably wouldn’t be back until the end of the year. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

So the remaining vegetables, she considered as a gift to everyone, while the half she took would serve as their winter vegetables.

However, she harvested all the green vegetables and coriander at once, leaving only the radishes and cabbages because they wouldn’t stay fresh after the frost.
