Chapter 181: Settling Accounts with Lin Xia

As soon as Zhou Haiyang entered the house, he saw his father with a gloomy face and joked, "Are you arguing with my mother again?"

Old couples always love to quarrel, and Zhou Haiyang is somewhat used to it.

"Come here!" When Captain Zhou saw his son's playful smile, the anger that had just subsided surged up again.

Zhou Haiyang was frightened by Captain Zhou's expression, thinking that his father should not know what he was doing outside, and he felt relieved.

He took two steps calmly and asked, not knowing what was going on: "What's wrong?"

"What were you doing outside?" Captain Zhou asked sternly.

Zhou Haiyang was startled, then asked: "What did I do? Didn't I just get home?"

He was very calm when he spoke, but his eyes avoided him unconsciously. When Captain Zhou saw his son like this, he must have been confused. Lu Yuxiu was probably right.

"You still don't admit it? Who are you hanging out with out there?"

Zhou Haiyang's eyes flickered back and forth, and he was uneasy. How did his father know? Did someone see it? Suddenly he thought of Lin Xia, and was reluctant to suspect that it was her.

Seeing Zhou Haiyang's guilty look, Captain Zhou was confused and became so angry that he turned around to look for tools.

When Zhou Haiyang saw his father's actions, he immediately felt something was wrong and was thinking about what to do.

Shen Yulan heard the noise outside the room and came out to see her husband chasing his son with a broom and beating him, causing chaos.

"What's going on?" He stepped forward and stopped him.

"Ask him what he did outside!" Captain Zhou was stopped, with his hands on his waist, panting. The little bastard was so agile that he was exhausted.

"I didn't do anything!" Zhou Haiyang looked at his biological mother and said innocently. Now he was counting on his biological mother to save him.

Shen Yulan let out a rage when she thought of her husband coming back. Now she couldn't say that she was wrongly accusing her son. She said unhappily, "He didn't do anything, but you are the one who got so angry. Don't bring your anger home with you!"

"Did you know that your son became a Red Guard?" Captain Zhou pointed at Zhou Haiyang, feeling very disappointed.

Shen Yulan looked at her son in disbelief. Seeing that he dodged and didn't dare to look at her, she knew that this was most likely true.

"Is it true?" Shen Yulan looked at her husband, still unable to believe it.

"What Lu Yuxiu told me, can it be false?"

Hearing Lu Yuxiu's name, Zhou Haiyang raised his head in disbelief. It was really Lin Xia! His heart ached and he couldn't believe it. His eyes were red.

"You should reflect on yourself at home and don't go out. I won't stop you when there is a recruitment notice." Captain Zhou said angrily to his son.

Zhou Haiyang didn't hear what his father said at all at this moment. He was wondering why Lin Xia told this to others!

The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable I felt, so I turned around and was about to leave.

"Stop right there and don't go out." Seeing that he didn't feel he was wrong at all, Captain Zhou's voice became even more stern.

Zhou Haiyang was extremely bold, but this time he did not dare to resist and returned to his room in despair.

Shen Yulan looked sad. Thinking of what her husband had just said, she felt worried and scared. She never thought that her son would become a Red Guard. That was not a good thing!

The next morning, Zhou Haiyang woke up early. It should be said that he had not slept all night.

He hesitated and waited until Shen Yulan left the house before he had the chance to slip away.

"Brother, Dad won't let you go out." When Zhou Haiyan saw him about to go out, she immediately ran to the door and opened her arms.

"Don't bother yourself!" Zhou Haiyang was stopped and tried to force his way in.

"No, my dad ordered me to keep an eye on you!" Zhou Haiyang refused to give in.

The two of them always fight with each other, and now they are using their father's words as a token of authority to control their brother.

Zhou Haiyang was thinking about settling the score with Lin Xia, and didn't want to get tangled up with his sister. He impatiently dug into his trouser pockets and said, "Here, here, get out of my way."

Looking at the money in her brother's hand, Zhou Haiyan was shaken. Red hairbands are very popular recently, but she didn't have enough money.

Zhou Haiyang shook the money in his hand, "Don't you want it?"

Fearing that he would go back on his word, Zhou Haiyan snatched it away. Seeing that his sister had given up her seat, Zhou Haiyang quickly rushed out.

As soon as he got out of the door, he ran towards Lin Xia's house. When he arrived, he didn't dare to knock on the door and wandered outside the door for a long time.

After hesitating for a while, he reached out and knocked.

Lin Xia was preparing seafood when she heard a knock on the door and thought it was Wang Guilan coming back.

“Here I come!”

"What fish did you buy today?" Lin Xia's voice was filled with smile. Buying fish every day was like opening a blind box.

The door opened, but it was not Wang Guilan.

Lin Xia was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared: "What's the matter?"

Zhou Haiyang was dazzled by her smile. Thinking of what happened yesterday, he asked, "Why did you tell my dad?"

This made no sense, but Lin Xia understood it. She was afraid that Lu Yuxiu had mentioned that matter to Captain Zhou.

"How old are you?" Lin Xia was not panicked. She looked calm and asked in a gentle but firm tone.

Zhou Haiyang was stunned for a moment, and was affected by her tone. He immediately realized that he was here to settle the score, so he answered honestly: "Sixteen years old."

"Lu Yuxiu joined the army at the age of sixteen. I believe your father joined the army at an early age as well, but what about you? Do you think what you did with those people was right?"

Sixteen years old is the time of puberty, which is the time of high school in later generations, so it is normal to be ignorant.

But in this era, at the same age of being ignorant, Lu Yuxiu was ready to defend his country at the age of sixteen, while the other was still ignorant.

Zhou Haiyang was speechless and wanted to say something, "But they are qualified..."

"Is what you see real? Is what you think is right really right?"

Lin Xia didn't want to comment on those things. She just felt that even if young people had not yet formed correct values, they should at least have the ability to think.

Zhou Haiyang was startled by Lin Xia's eyes and didn't know what to say. Just as he was in a daze, a voice came from behind him.

"This is..." Wang Guilan was holding a basket and looking at the person at the gate of the yard. Why didn't he go in and talk?

Lin Xia didn't want to say more. She looked at Zhou Haiyang and said, "Young people should do what young people should do. The victory of the revolution is not easy. Think about what is right for you."

After Wang Guilan came in, Lin Xia closed the door.

Zhou Haiyang was hit hard by the question and left in a daze.

Zhou Haiyan was happily counting money when she saw her brother coming back in a daze. Just as she was about to ask something, she saw Zhou Haiyang going straight back to the room.

After Lu Yuxiu went home for dinner, he knew that Lin Xia had made an agreement with the bookstore owner, so he borrowed a bicycle and went to the bookstore.

The bookstore owner waited in the store on purpose, feeling very nervous, fearing that people would not come.

When he saw Lu Yuxiu coming to his house, he was shocked. This man was very tall and had a very imposing aura. If he hadn't been wearing a military uniform, he would have thought he had met a bandit.

I wasn't so scared until I found out that he was Lin Xia's husband. I felt relieved when I saw him leave with the book.

The books on the bookshelf are almost in order. After tidying up, he will return to his hometown in the countryside. The city is bustling, but the countryside is still much better. I just don't know if he can do farm work.
