Hearing her father's question, Su Lanying shook her head, and said, "Doctor Song is a good man with a bright future. If he marries me and our family's identity is exposed, it will harm him and his family. He's already done so much for me—how could I ruin his future?"
Meng Qiaoping let out a sigh and said, "Indeed, he is a good man. Unfortunately, our family doesn't have the fortune to accept him as a son-in-law."
After a moment, Su Lanying looked at her mother and said, "Mother, if I can recover from my illness, please help me find a good villager. I'm already sixteen."
"After I recover, I will be seventeen—it's time to get engaged. When the marriage preparation is complete, I will be eighteen and it's the right age for getting married."
"I don't ask for someone rich or good-looking. As long as he is willing to work hard and has an honest character, that's enough."
