Chapter 161: Competing for Men
As soon as Li Xiaojun’s words reached Aunt Hua, they quickly spread among the villagers.
Soon, many young women and widows either came themselves or sent someone to convey messages to Li Xiaojun.
All of them hinted at wanting to start a family with Li Xiaojun.
Among them were many widows who claimed that if Li Xiaojun was willing to be with them, everything they had would belong to him.
Li Xiaojun became the most sought-after person in Xiaowan Village.
With so many young girls and widows interested in him, it was likely that if many young wives were not already married, they would have eagerly pursued Li Xiaojun as their partner.
Li Xiaojun’s popularity in Xiaowan Village was not just because of his handsome looks; he exuded an indescribable charm that even royal families found hard to possess.
Although Li Xiaojun had suppressed his cultivation level with the system, he appeared to be just an ordinary person.
However, as a powerhouse in the Heavenly Immortal realm, his unmatched calmness and unintentional confidence, combined with his good looks, made the village’s young women and widows swoon.
She Family.
“Little Cui, did you hear? Many women from our village have gone to find Li Langjun.”
A young maid whispered to another while working.
“That’s no surprise; Li Langjun is so handsome that everyone wants to be his woman!”
“Do you think Li Langjun will choose someone? Chen Xiuxiu from the village also asked someone to act as a matchmaker for Li Xiaojun. She is pretty; do you think he might pick her?”
“I don’t know about that…”
While the two young maids continued their gossip, outside the room, a girl’s expression changed dramatically.
This girl was none other than the second young mistress of the She family, She Shiyun.
“Brother Xiaojun has caught the attention of so many women! No way, Brother Xiaojun is mine, no one can take him away!”
She Shiyun hurriedly left and ran straight to where her father was.
“Dad, Dad, Dad, Dad…”
“What are you doing?”
A middle-aged man in his fifties quickly walked out.
“Er Ya, why are you calling for your dad?” When the man saw She Shiyun, he instantly became warm and friendly.
“Dad, let’s talk inside.” She Shiyun pulled him into the room.
“Dad, I want to get married.”
Once inside and after shutting the door, She Shiyun directly said to her father.
“What? You want to get married? To whom?”
Hearing his daughter wanted to marry, She Rujie was shocked.
How could he, as her father, not know about her intentions?
“Dad, I’m serious! I want to marry Li Xiaojun, and I need your help!” She Shiyun said, playfully tugging at her father’s hand.
“Li Xiaojun? Is he the boy who escaped here and was taken in by Uncle Zeng?” She Rujie asked his daughter.
“Yes, that’s him.” She Shiyun nodded, blushing.
“No way.” She Rujie shook his head.
“Why not?”
“He doesn’t deserve you.”
She Rujie said with a serious expression, “The second son of the catcher from the county office likes you. I believe he is more suitable for you, and your mother is very fond of him. So I plan to have you marry into the Hou family.”
Hearing her father’s words, She Shiyun’s face changed dramatically. “I don’t agree.”
“You can’t disagree. You have to convince your mother…”
Just then, a clear voice rang out.
“Dad, Dad, Dad, are you there?”
On hearing the voice, She Rujie quickly opened the door.
“San Ya, what are you doing?”
She Rujie asked a girl about fifteen or sixteen years old standing outside.
“Dad, I want to marry Brother Xiaojun! You have to help me find a matchmaker, or someone else will take him away…”
“What? What did you say?”
She Rujie couldn’t believe what he heard from his youngest daughter. The second daughter likes this Li Xiaojun, and now the youngest wants to marry him too?
At that moment, She Shiyun emerged from the room, looking upset.
She quickly said to the girl, “She Shihan, Brother Xiaojun is your brother-in-law; you can’t marry him.”
“What brother-in-law?”
She Shihan looked at her sister in surprise as She Shiyun walked out from their father’s room.
“I have already set my sights on Brother Xiaojun, so he is your brother-in-law. You can’t compete with me.” She Shiyun said to She Shihan.
Upon hearing this, She Shihan looked at her sister and then at her father, saying, “Brother Xiaojun hasn’t agreed to you yet, right? I can still say Brother Xiaojun is your sister-in-law; you shouldn’t compete with me either.”
“You two… calling him Brother Xiaojun and fighting over a man! Are you trying to drive me crazy?” She Rujie finally could not hold back any longer, his face full of anger as he scolded them.
He had three daughters; the eldest was already married. Now, his remaining two daughters were openly fighting over a man in front of him—this was unacceptable!
“You two, come with me. I’m going to have your mother teach you a lesson.” She Rujie shouted at his daughters.
While the two daughters of the She family were arguing over a man, at the Zeng family house, several aunties from the village arrived.
Among them was Aunt Hua, whom Li Xiaojun had just met a few days ago.
“Xiaojun, Xiuxiu is a good girl. She’s beautiful and hardworking, and her family is quite wealthy. You just came to our village, and if you could marry Xiuxiu, you’d have an easier few years ahead…”
“Xiaojun, my Yingzi isn’t bad either. Yingzi’s family has said that as long as you agree, they will offer ten acres of land as a dowry…”
“Xiaojun…”
A group of aunties took turns trying to persuade Li Xiaojun.
Beside them, Uncle Zeng watched Li Xiaojun with a mischievous smile.
Li Xiaojun looked at Uncle Zeng with a pleading expression, and Uncle Zeng replied with a gaze that said he could not help.
“Ladies, I’ve said it before, I’m still young and don’t want to get married…”
“Xiaojun, do you look down on the girls from our village?” one aunt questioned Li Xiaojun.
“No, no, I…”
“Xiaojun, you’re already in your twenties; it’s time to settle down…”
“Yes, you’re not young anymore. You’re the only child in your family. How will you explain it to your ancestors if you don’t carry on the family line?”
“Aunties, please let me think about it. I don’t know any of the girls you mentioned, so I can’t give you an answer!” Li Xiaojun said to all the aunties.
He planned to buy himself some time.
“How about this? Tomorrow, I’ll have Xiuxiu meet you so you two can get to know each other.”
“I’ll have Yingzi come over too…”
After a while, the matchmaking aunties finally left.
For the first time, Li Xiaojun realized that dealing with a group of women could be so exhausting.
After several aunties left the Zeng family, they continued chatting as they walked!
“Aunt Hua, how did Xiuxiu also come to like Li Langjun?” one aunt asked Aunt Hua.
“Li Langjun is so handsome; which woman wouldn’t like him? If I were an unmarried girl, I’d find a way to win him over.” one aunt joked.
“I think you’re smitten!”
“Pah! Aren’t you also interested?”
“To be honest, if such a handsome young man would let me spend a night with him, it would be worth it even if I die.”
“Pah, pah, pah, what are you two saying? Be careful; your husbands might beat you to death…”
“He wouldn’t dare…”
