So Zhou Hong sighed and said helplessly: "Dad, please help me. I have my own plans. Just take good care of me and don't interfere in my affairs!"
After hearing what he said, Mr. Zhou became even angrier.
He picked up the cane beside him, knocked it hard on the floor, and scolded: "How did I get involved? I just met her and chatted with her for a few words. I didn't say a word more than necessary!"
They met and chatted for a few minutes, and he also gave away a jade pendant left by his deceased wife.
The more Mr. Zhou thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt. He glared at Zhou Hong and said, "How dare you blame me? You didn't tell me anything and kept it from me. And you didn't even allow me to find a way to take a look myself? Zhou Hong, am I still your father? Did you just pop out of a crack in a rock?!"
Hearing this, Zhou Hong said helplessly: "Okay, okay, okay, I was wrong, I was wrong... Now that you have seen it, you should stop interfering in this matter in the future, okay?"
Mr. Zhou snorted coldly and frowned, saying, "You didn't let me manage it and insisted on finding one yourself, and you ended up finding a woman like this?... Look at your own conditions, and then look at her conditions. Do you think you two are suitable?"
Zhou Hong heard this and replied: "Hearing what you said, I really feel that we are not suitable..."
When Mr. Zhou heard this, his eyes flashed. He was about to say something, but Zhou Hong continued to say——
"I've lived for more than 40 years. I've seen many men who are better than me, but I've never seen a woman who is better than her. When I think about it, I'm not worthy of her at all. I'm trying to marry her."
After spending some time together, Zhou Hong gradually understood Xia Huiyin's life experience.
Xia Huiyin was born in an ordinary small mountain village. Her parents were farmers. Her father died young, and her mother raised her and her five siblings.
With her own efforts, Xia Huiyin studied, started a business, and supported her family on her own after marriage. Although her marriage was unhappy, she was able to resolutely take her daughter out of the quagmire.
Without any support from anyone, she started from scratch and earned millions. She bought a school district house in the city for her daughter, contracted mountains and forests, and engaged in fisheries and planting.
This society does not give women many opportunities. Xia Huiyin has achieved this point through her own efforts. Zhou Hong really has to admire her.
She is gentle on the outside but strong on the inside. Although she has not received professional training, she is better than those who have learned shooting professionally. She was able to shoot her ex-husband with a crossbow, hitting him right in the heart and lungs, and she was able to remain calm in the face of danger and save him from Zhao Kuntai. This shows how strong her talent is and how tenacious her character is.
When Mr. Zhou heard him say that, he frowned and said, "What are you talking about! She is already over 40 years old and still unmarried. You are looking for someone with such conditions?"
Zhou Hong was puzzled when he heard this and said, "Look at what you said. What's wrong with being married? Liu E and Wu Zetian were both married. Did it hinder their names from being recorded in history? The ancients didn't care about these things. The emperors all married married women. Don't be too conservative. Learn more about the advanced ideas of feudal society!"
"Besides, I am also in my forties. I think she is still too young. It would be better if she was a few years older than me. The average life expectancy of men is five years shorter than that of women. It would be just right if she was five years older than me. Then we can leave together and neither of us will be left behind."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Zhou slammed the table and frowned, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about! She is 40 years old now, which is already an advanced maternal age. If she were a little older, wouldn't she have lost half her life when giving birth?"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Hong quickly waved his hands and replied, "Please let me go. I don't want to raise another child. Raising Zhou Ran would have cost me half my life... In my opinion, it's best not to have a baby. I can just get a sterilization done."
Hearing this, Mr. Zhou was so angry that his hands began to tremble. He pointed at Zhou Hong and said in a trembling voice: "You, you...are you going to piss me off to death? If you don't do it, what are you going to do in the future?"
Zhou Hong sighed when he saw this. He comforted the old man and said, "Alright, Dad, don't talk to me about this... The uterus is on someone else's body. We two men have no right to discuss whether a woman can have a child or not. If she wants to, she can have one. If she doesn't want to, she can't. The right to raise a child belongs to her!"
