Chapter 646: A Half-Baked Doctor (13)

"What's more, Doctor Li is a miracle doctor. If he holds a grudge against us, he might just do something to our injuries while treating us, and you wouldn't even know how you died!" General Chen spitted all over the deputy general's head.

The deputy general wiped his face, still frightened: "That's true, but it's too easy for doctors to do something."

Seeing that he still looked stupid, General Chen was so angry that he slapped him in the face.

Li Shichu had no idea what General Chen was thinking of her. Her clinic's business was on track, with many patients coming every day. In addition to the injured sent by Wei's army, she could not handle it all by herself, so she hired a doctor and two apprentices to help.

What's amazing is that someone noticed that she had a good relationship with the Wei family army that had just taken over Funing City, so they set their sights on him.

"What did you say? You are not here to see a doctor, but to propose marriage to me?" Li Shichu was immediately amused and confused when he heard the words of the middle-aged woman in front of him.

"Yes, Doctor Li, you are at your age and you still don't have a woman at home. How can this be? A man needs a good wife to take care of the family so that he can develop his career outside with peace of mind. It is said that one should start a family and a career. Now that you have established a career, it is natural for you to start a family. The girl I introduce to you is virtuous and capable. She can take care of all the big and small things at home. She is definitely a good wife and the most suitable for you, Doctor Li..." The matchmaker started talking to Li Shichu a lot without giving Li Shichu a chance to interrupt.

Li Shichu waited until she finished talking and stopped talking before he could speak: "Aunt Zhang, actually my family arranged a fiancée for me a few years ago, but she is still young, so I haven't gotten married yet. So please don't introduce any more girls to me. I can't be a treacherous man who betrays my fiancée. Don't force me to be a heartless person."

Li Shichu had no psychological barriers in making up a fiancée for herself. She didn't expect that even though she was dressed as a man, she still couldn't escape the hassle of being urged to get married and go on blind dates.

When matchmaker Zhang heard this, her face froze immediately. She refused to believe and asked, "Doctor Li, do you really have a fiancée? Are you kidding me?"

"It's true. My fiancée is far away in Jiangnan. She will not come to Funing City with me until we get married. There is no need for me to lie to you." Li Shichu said it as if it were true, and even Matchmaker Zhang had to believe it.

She also said with great regret: "That's such a pity. Why did you get engaged so early? You missed out on so many good girls in Funing City."

"There are many beautiful girls and boys in Funing City." Li Shichu said with a smile, and finally managed to send Zhang the matchmaker away.

Just when she thought that she could stop others from trying to get close to him by making up a fiancee, a pretty girl of about fifteen or sixteen stopped him at the door of the clinic.

"Doctor Li, do you really have a fiancée?" The young girl's eyes were red, and she asked Li Shichu this question in a pitiful tone.

Li Shichu was confused. He didn't know this girl at all. Why did she suddenly appear and ask him such a question?

So her face turned cold and she said, "Who are you? I don't know you. Does it matter to you whether I have a fiancée or not?"

The young girl's eyes widened when she heard her words without any affection. As if she had heard something incredible, she cried, "You, you...how could you talk to me like that? I just, I just admire you and adore you. Why are you so cruel to me?"

"Stop! I don't even know who you are. Can you stop talking nonsense and make me sound like a heartless man?" Li Shichu was so angry at this ignorant woman that he laughed, "Just because you admire me, you can stop me on the street? Where is your modesty? Where is your self-esteem? Even if you don't respect yourself, don't hurt me! I am loyal to my fiancée and have never thought of betraying her. Don't be so self-indulgent!"

Li Shichu's words were like a big slap on the girl's face, making her blush and feel hot all over with shame. She really cried: "You, you said I have no shame?!"

"What else? I have nothing to do with you, but you come up to me and try to get involved. Isn't that shameless and disrespectful?" Li Shichu didn't give her any face. This woman who appeared out of nowhere came to question whether he really had a fiancée. Who was she? What qualifications did she have to question him? She was like a horse who didn't know how long his face was, and a cow who didn't know how thick its skin was. She had no self-awareness at all.

When the woman heard Li Shichu's merciless words, she let out a "wuuuuuu", covered her face with her hands, and ran away in shame.

Li Shichu was speechless. In this day and age, even if one wanted to get married, one didn't have to be so eager to get married, right? Even though she was a skilled doctor and had a relationship with the Wei family army, she was just an ordinary citizen. Moreover, although she was beautiful in this life, she was just ordinary beautiful, not as beautiful as a beauty. And because she had to pretend to be a man, her appearance was even worse. So she never expected that there would be a girl who wanted to marry her so much.

In fact, Li Shichu underestimated his own value in the eyes of outsiders. He was connected with the Wei family army because of his medical skills, which was why he suddenly became popular.

There is chaos and war everywhere these days. No one knows when another war will break out. Ordinary people live in turmoil and worry every day. So they especially hope to find a strong umbrella of protection so that the whole family doesn't have to live in fear of death at any time.

Therefore, Li Shichu, who had a relationship with the Wei Family Army, was noticed by others. The Wei Family Army had taken over the power of Funing City. Even if there was any war in the future, Li Shichu, who had a good relationship with the Wei Family Army, would definitely be one of the people who would be protected. Ordinary people could not get close to the Wei Family Army, so they could get close to Li Shichu who had a relationship with the Wei Family Army. Isn't this normal?

This is how Li Shichu's recent popular status came about. Fortunately, she made up a fiancée, otherwise there would be more matchmakers harassing her.

However, if she cannot become the main wife, she can still consider being a concubine. There are many people who cannot afford to raise children these days. Even in the relatively stable city of Funing, there are people who sell their children.

Although Li Shichu was only a doctor, his clinic was doing good business and they would not starve, so some families thought that even if their daughters could not become the main wife, they could have her as a concubine, so that they could have food to eat and survive. As a result, more people sent concubines to Li Shichu.

Li Shichu never expected that there would be a development. She could only put on a cold face and firmly refuse the person who sent her a concubine, saying: "I only have my fiancée in my heart. I will never do anything to make my fiancée sad, and taking a concubine is even more impossible. So take the people you brought with you away, and don't let me drive you out!"

"Doctor Li, I just want you to take in a concubine... It's okay if you don't want her to be a concubine. You can just take my daughter in as a maid to do the laundry and cooking..." The visitor refused to give up.
