Chapter 108: Searching for a Target
At this moment, Li Beifeng was a little confused.
Looking at Aunt Tiger's eyes full of hope, he couldn't turn his head around.
Start a family?
Aunt Tiger, is she here to... talk about matchmaking?
Good guy!
Caught off guard!
"Well, Aunt Tiger..."
Li Beifeng reacted and quickly refused: "Actually, I'm still very young. If I want to get married... it's still too early."
When he came to this world, Li Beifeng had no plan to get married.
Although I have been alone in my two lives, sometimes I do feel lonely and have nowhere to vent my energy.
but……
Li Beifeng was still somewhat resistant to this kind of thing.
Perhaps as a foreigner, he has not yet found a deep sense of identity and belonging here.
Therefore, he had never thought about getting married.
Besides, according to Li Beifeng's current age, he is only eighteen years old at this time.
When he was this age, Li Beifeng was still teasing his classmates in high school class...
However, Aunt Tiger doesn't think so at all.
In her eyes, Li Beifeng was already an older man.
The way she looked at Li Beifeng was exactly the same as looking at a bachelor in his thirties in the village in later generations.
In this era when it is common to get married at the age of fourteen or fifteen, Li Beifeng has not yet gotten married at the age of eighteen, so he can indeed be regarded as an "old bachelor".
However, there is naturally a reason for this.
After Old Man Li passed away, Li Beifeng was left alone. In the past few years, Li Beifeng's life has been miserable.
Life was hard, and after the news that Li Beifeng almost killed people spread, Li Beifeng's reputation was completely lost.
From then on, it was almost impossible for Li Beifeng to find a wife.
Aunt Tiger is in a hurry!
She had watched Li Beifeng grow up, so she naturally hoped to see Li Beifeng get married and start a business. However, Li Beifeng's conditions were indeed looked down upon by others.
Aunt Tiger also tried to think of a way, but most people shook their heads after hearing what Li Beifeng said.
If you can’t help, if you can’t find it, just focus on being alone!
…
But now, the situation suddenly reversed.
Li Beifeng became a miracle doctor praised by everyone, and more and more people came to see him for treatment. Li Beifeng's fame also spread, and he became a famous young man from all over the country.
Who wouldn't like such an excellent doctor with superb medical skills?
Aunt Tiger was overjoyed when she saw this scene.
At the same time, I began to think about it in my mind.
Now that Li Beifeng's fame has spread, he has a small career.
Then, life-long events should also be put on the agenda.
"Why is it too early? Look at you, how old you are, and you still don't want to get married?"
Aunt Tiger scolded and lectured: "You will be laughed at if you are not married yet at this age. If your father in the spring finds out, he will probably scold you as well."
Li Beifeng smiled bitterly.
Forced into marriage.
He knew that Aunt Tiger was doing it for his own good, but...Li Beifeng had no such idea at all.
"Don't worry, Auntie won't harm you. You are a famous miracle doctor now, even more famous than your father. Don't worry, we don't like ordinary girls either. Auntie will definitely find a doctor for you when the time comes. Da Li’s good wife and mother, I promise to be worthy of you..."
Aunt Tiger had already made a plan. As long as Li Beifeng agreed, she would immediately go to the nearby villages to investigate.
With Li Beifeng's current reputation, there is no shortage of good girls.
"Aunt Tiger, that's not what I meant, it's just..."
Li Beifeng smiled bitterly and shook his head: "I really don't want to get married yet.
"Why?"
Aunt Tiger looked at Li Beifeng, as if she had thought of something, and her expression became serious: "You can't be...still thinking about that girl from the Shen family, right?"
"ah?"
"Auntie, I have to tell you something from my heart. Although you are indeed engaged to that girl from the Shen family, the engagement is only a verbal engagement after all. It may or may not count!"
Aunt Tiger seemed to have thought of something, and sighed with regret: "That girl from the Shen family is indeed a good girl. But... you should know very well that the Shen family is no longer the Shen family before. The Shen family is now a wealthy family. He is also powerful. It is absolutely impossible for Mr. Shen to marry his daughter to you again..."
"Aunt Tiger, you misunderstood..."
Li Beifeng didn't expect that Aunt Tiger would mention the engagement between him and Shen Qingning.
However, it is also reasonable.
Everyone knew about his engagement with Shen Qingning back then, but as the Shen family became more prosperous, it was gradually forgotten as a joke.
but……
What does all this have to do with Shen Qingning?
Li Beifeng tried to explain: "Aunt Tiger, this really has nothing to do with her. I just don't want to get married..."
"How come it doesn't matter?"
Aunt Tiger said seriously: "Don't think that Auntie doesn't know, that girl from the Shen family comes to you every now and then. There has always been contact between you."
Li Beifeng sighed and said, "Aunt Tiger, the relationship between Shen Qingning and I is innocent."
"Innocent? Bei Feng, you have deceived others, can you still deceive your aunt?"
Aunt Tiger didn't believe it at all: "Isn't it obvious that a girl always comes to you regardless of her reputation?"
"Also, that girl is seventeen years old this year. I heard that the young talents who come to propose marriage are almost breaking the threshold of the Shen family, but she doesn't like any of them and refuses them all..."
Aunt Hu looked like she had seen through everything: "Others may not know what that girl is thinking, but don't you know?"
"She..."
Li Beifeng wanted to refute.
But he was stunned again.
He suddenly realized that he couldn't find a reason to refute.
It seems...that's the truth?
Li Beifeng didn't care about these things before, but now that Aunt Hu reminded him, it seems a little abnormal.
No matter how carefree Shen Qingning is, she is a girl after all.
A girl comes to Li Beifeng every now and then.
She is here to pick a fight when she has nothing to do?
Although this reason is barely acceptable, it seems a little untenable.
Could it be that the girl really...has a crush on him?
The expression on Li Beifeng's face froze a little.
Is this joke a bit too much? !
…
“Beifeng, Auntie knows that you and the girl from the Shen family grew up together and you have a good relationship, but…”
Auntie Hu shook her head: “People have to face reality, right? Then Mr. Shen will definitely not marry his daughter to you, you are not suitable. You are not young anymore, and you really can’t delay your marriage any longer…”
Li Beifeng couldn’t find any good reason to refuse for a while.
Auntie Hu is indeed a potential matchmaker, especially since she occupies the moral high ground, which even makes Li Beifeng feel guilty that he will be ashamed of the elders of Jiangdong if he doesn’t get married.
After all, Auntie Hu has watched him grow up, and has taken care of Li Beifeng a lot over the years.
At this time, she kindly wants to help Li Beifeng with matchmaking, and such enthusiasm makes Li Beifeng not know how to refuse.
“Okay, this matter is settled!”
Auntie Hu said directly: “Auntie will help you find a girl now, and I promise that you will be satisfied and definitely worthy of you…”
After she finished speaking, Auntie Hu left with satisfaction.
Li Beifeng was left there, sighing quietly.
Is this what it feels like to be forced into marriage?
Sure enough, this tradition has existed since ancient times.
But...
Get married?
Getting married is impossible.
Li Beifeng had no such plan at all, and it was even more impossible for him to let a woman he had never met become his wife.
If there is no mutual affection, then marriage will be meaningless.
But it is obvious that his reasoning is not acceptable to Aunt Hu.
In Aunt Hu's eyes, starting a family and having children are the most important things.
As for mutual affection? Emotional foundation?
Isn't this simple?
They are sleeping in the same bed, so they can be cultivated well!
If they sleep a little more, won't the affection come out...
"..."
So... I'm afraid I can only think of other ways to refuse this matter.
Li Beifeng sighed again, turned around slowly, and planned to go back to continue to tossing his poison.
However, as soon as he turned around, Li Beifeng saw Li Suyi standing at the door, looking at him quietly.
"Why are you here?"
Li Beifeng was stunned for a moment, then thought of something: "What Aunt Hu said just now...did you hear everything?"
Li Suyi looked calm and nodded slightly.
Li Beifeng wanted to see something from her face.
However, nothing was found.
Li Suyi was indifferent, as if there was no change at all.
This made Li Beifeng a little disappointed.
However, at this time, Li Suyi just looked at Li Beifeng quietly.
Suddenly, he spoke out of the blue.
"Who is Shen Qingning?"
"..."
