"Mom, we are the woman, we can't be too proactive. If it's time to propose marriage, it should be the man who brings it up first."

"That's true."

“Anran is three years older than you, and he’s not young anymore. I don’t believe his parents aren’t worried. Once your father recovers, I’ll go talk to Anran’s mother.”

"Mom, you're being way too obvious about it!"

“Ah Yun, most girls get married at seventeen or eighteen, but you're twenty-three and still no sign of marriage. We've held you back all these years!”

"Mom, as long as our family is doing well, that's more important than anything else. As for marriage, let's leave it to fate!"

“You and Anran are destined to be together. He is so outstanding, we must seize the opportunity.”

After taking the second course of medication, Professor Ye felt like he had recovered to the point where he was like a normal person again.

Then they went to get a third course of medication.

After finishing the third course of medication, they went to see Old Hong again.

After taking Professor Ye's pulse, Old Hong said, "Professor Ye, you are fine. Of course, you can't compare to those young and strong people. You can't overwork or exert yourself for the next six months. Otherwise, you can work and live like a normal person."

Professor Ye exclaimed excitedly, "Elder Hong, really? I... I'm completely cured? I won't die?"

"Your kidneys had completely lost their autonomous function before. Now, their autonomous function has returned to normal, but the damaged parts of the kidneys have not yet fully recovered. But don't worry, they have an automatic repair function and will fully recover in 49 days."

"If you take good care of yourself, you can live for several more decades and die peacefully in your old age."

Ye Qingyun: "Old Hong, should we prescribe a few more doses of medicine to continue the treatment?"

"No need. The body has its own repair function. It's like if you cut your finger, new flesh will grow back from the cut in a few days."

"Over the next month or so, you may experience soreness, numbness, swelling, or a cold sensation in your kidney area. These are normal reactions during the kidney's self-repair process, so don't be afraid or nervous. Instead, experience them with joy, as this indicates that your kidney's repair function is working. This is a benign reaction."

The Ye family left, expressing their deepest gratitude.

Professor Ye and his wife discussed it and decided to invite Su Jinru's whole family to dinner on the weekend at a state-run restaurant not far from Su Jinru's home.

Introducing Old Hong to Professor Ye for treatment was a simple matter for Su Jinru, but for the Ye family, it was a life-saving favor.

Unable to refuse such a kind offer, Su Jinru agreed.

However, Yuan Wenjie had something to do on the weekend and didn't come for dinner.

Su Jinru took her four children with her.

Li Yawen said regretfully, "Anran's father couldn't come. I was just about to discuss the two children's marriage!"

Su Jinru glanced at her son.

“Anran didn’t tell me that we were going to discuss something so important today, otherwise I would have had her father set a time in advance.”

Li Ya-wen: "I didn't tell the two children about this beforehand. I was just thinking that their work is special, and they don't know when they will have time after this holiday. So I wanted to ask what your family's considerations are?"

Su Jinru: "This matter should have been arranged by the man's side. In our family, my father is the one who makes the decisions. Now that he's not here, let Anran make the decisions. Anran, what do you think?"

An Ran glanced at Ye Qingyun.

After spending these past few days together, this girl seems pretty good!

Moreover, both sets of parents have made their points clear, and Ye Qingyun's mother, like his own mother, couldn't wait for them to get married immediately.

However, my mother was very restrained and outwardly respected his opinion.

"Ye Qingyun and I will listen to our parents' opinions," An Ran stated, expressing her own stance and also conveying Ye Qingyun's opinion.

Li Yawen was naturally very satisfied with An Ran's attitude: "The two children only care about their work and don't care about their own marriage. Then we, as parents, can only worry more."

Su Jinru: "That's right! If the two children like each other, I naturally hope they can get together as soon as possible."

Li Ya-wen: "A-ru is a straightforward person, and I am also a straightforward person. I think the two girls are a good match, and they are not young anymore. Let them get married as soon as possible, preferably before the end of the holiday."

Su Jinru asked in surprise, "They only have sixteen days left before their holiday ends. Isn't that too rushed? There are so many things they need to prepare!"

"We didn't rush into it. We got the marriage certificate and had a meal together as a family. There was no need to make it too complicated. Marriage is just a formality. What really matters is how we live our lives together."

Su Jinru: "We need to choose an auspicious day! The new house needs to be decorated properly! And there's the bride price and all that."

"The main thing is the auspicious date, which we should definitely look into. As for the new house, buying a new one is easy; department stores sell them. As long as the two children live happily together, we don't need any dowry."

Su Jinru: "The bride price is a custom, and it's also a sign of respect for Ayun. It's a must."

Li Yawen: "Then let's just make a token amount, a bride price of one hundred yuan!"

"No, a thousand yuan, and five hundred yuan more, to buy some clothes for Ayun and the two of you."

Li Yawen was somewhat surprised. She had only ever heard of in-laws lowering the bride price, never raising it. This Su Jinru was a very honest person.

"This... is too much. A hundred yuan is enough as a token. Besides, should we discuss it with Anran's father?"

Li Yawen didn't know much about Su Jinru's family situation. She only knew that Su Jinru was a housewife who didn't work at home, and the family's income was supported by her husband, who was a soldier, and her eldest son.

They have a lot of children; one younger sister is in college, and their twin siblings are still in elementary school. For a family like that, it's not easy to come up with 1,500 yuan all at once. They may have emptied their savings over the years.

Su Jinru: "In our family, her father makes the decisions on big matters, and I make the decisions on small matters. I can decide on small matters like the bride price, but for big matters like setting the date, her father makes the decisions."

An Xin, An Ran, and the twins all knew that Su Jinru could make decisions on all matters, big and small, in the family. However, on the surface, she would always seek Yuan Wenjie's opinion, but in the end, her opinion and suggestions would prevail.

Professor Ye and Li Yawen looked at each other in bewilderment.

The bride price was quoted as 1,500 yuan, but she said it was a small matter.

A housewife, her family of six lives on the income of her husband and eldest son, and everyone in the family is well-dressed. Her husband is a soldier, so he must be of a high rank!
