Chapter 220: Chapter 220 True or False First Love 20_1

Zheng Weijian watched, dazed, as the street office efficiently processed their procedures for becoming sent-down youth.

He had been resting at home; although there were no news yet, if there were, he would have to start work at any minute, which wouldn’t be as comfortable as now.

But he had not expected the Revolutionary Committee to actually come to his door, especially with Zhou Juan leading them.

"We’re going to the street office to register," Zhou Juan said in a low voice.

To the street office? Now? Zheng Weijian was confused, "Aren’t we, aren’t we..."

Fortunately, he remembered the people following behind Zhou Juan; he could not understand why Zhou Juan would bring GWH personnel to his door.

Is this what happens if you don’t register at the street office?

Zheng Weijian didn’t understand, and he was very confused, but he didn’t ask, "I, I don’t have my household registration booklet."

"That doesn’t matter," the little boss didn’t care whether he had the booklet or not, these things were unimportant.

"This person has already told us that you agreed to go together to become sent-down youth; there was a delay before, and you didn’t register."

"We’ve already sent someone to the cafeteria to find your mother; by then, you can definitely register," the little boss had already sent his subordinates to find Mother Zheng on the way there.

Ah! Zheng Weijian never imagined these people would completely block all his ways out.

Zheng Weijian didn’t understand why they had to be dragged to the street office to register as sent-down youth.

They had actually lured Zhou Lina under false pretenses to become sent-down youth; neither of them had any intention of doing so.

How could things have come to this? But no matter how he looked at Zhou Juan, she simply showed no reaction.

Just as they were standing foolishly at the door, someone kept urging, "Can’t you hurry up?"

"I’ve never seen anyone as slow as you."

"Don’t you want your son to register?" Little Red Guards said impolitely.

Mother Zheng wouldn’t dare to admit that, "No, no, it’s the policy; how could my family violate it?"

Mother Zheng wanted to curse inside; it’s just registering as sent-down youth, why the rush?

And to bring in GWH personnel, could it be against someone they had issues with? But thinking about it, that seemed unlikely.

On one hand, they were helping Zheng Weijian to find a job, telling everyone that they would send him to be a sent-down youth, now he’s just resting at home for a little while.

Many families did this before, resting for ten days to half a month before registering.

Resting meant trying to see if there were any work opportunities available, but such chances were really not many; more people still went to be sent-down youth.

Mother Zheng kept wondering all the way, but just could not figure out who would stab their family in the back.

But when she stood at her own door, seeing the figure of Zhou Juan and the GWH people behind her, she almost fainted on the spot.

She knew this girl was relentless; their family would not spend several hundred to buy a job for a girl destined to marry and leave the house.

This person must be worried that after she goes off to the Great Northwest, Zheng Weijian, with his city job, would abandon her.

Mother Zheng calculated this way: anyway, it’s just dating, and the loss is not on her own child; the impact on the girl is big.

As far as Mother Zheng was concerned, as long as her own child was fine, how much harm the girl suffered was not her concern.

Mother Zheng only nagged in Zheng Weijian’s ear, expressing her dissatisfaction with Zhou Juan as a daughter-in-law, and in many aspects, didn’t bother to discourage him further.

She hadn’t expected, the one she hadn’t taken seriously, thinking they were just an unimportant person, would result in Little Wei being sent off to the Great Northwest.

Had it not been for the presence of those people, Mother Zheng would have definitely not let Zhou Juan off the hook.

Even though she couldn’t do much to the girl, the daggers in her eyes would not be spared.

The people from GWH obviously noticed, but didn’t care, "Go get the household registration book."

"Let’s take advantage of the fact that it’s not too late, and get our names registered." The sooner their names were on the list, the better.

Ah, they’re going to register today? Mother Zheng was startled; she had heard from colleagues that those who had recently registered were all sent to the Great Northwest.

Even without ever having visited that place, she knew of the endless sandy winds and could imagine that the harvests wouldn’t be good.

What good could come of Zheng Weijian going there to become an educated youth? Mother Zheng took a deep breath to stay calm, although she didn’t understand why things had suddenly come to this.

But she needed to make an effort, to fight for her son’s future. Soon, she knew who was the leader of these people, and thought about how to please him.

"Um, uh, I don’t know where I’ve put the household registration book," Mother Zheng hesitated, thinking she needed to talk to them alone.

"No problem, even without the household registration book it’s fine; just come with us," said the little leader, obviously short on patience.

"To tell you the truth, your son already told this girl here yesterday that he wanted to register to become an educated youth."

"There were some issues yesterday, and he wasn’t successful in registering, but now is the perfect time." The little leader indicated that they weren’t there on a whim, but had a reason.

What? Zheng Weijian had actually taken the initiative to become an educated youth? Mother Zheng’s eyes widened; any family matter was always discussed with her son, to keep him informed.

He was clearly looking forward to staying at home and not becoming an educated youth. So why on earth would he suddenly say he wanted to become one?

Perhaps it was the directness of Mother Zheng’s expression that displeased the little leader, "You, tell me if it isn’t so."

Zhou Juan looked at the menacing crowd, recalling how on the way here, if she walked even slightly slower, they wouldn’t hesitate to shove her.

Where would she dare to protest? "Yes, Zheng Weijian did say that he wanted us to become educated youths together."

Upon hearing Zhou Juan utter these words, Mother Zheng couldn’t hold back and charged at her, delivering several slaps, "How could you frame someone like this?"

Zhou Juan hadn’t expected Mother Zheng to come at her and to slap her so impolitely right in front of people from GWH.

Seeing the two women scuffle, none of the GWH members thought to intervene; in fact, they seemed to enjoy the dog-eat-dog spectacle.

Zheng Weijian hadn’t expected his own mother to lay a hand on Zhou Juan. He stepped forward, wanting to intervene, only to be noticed by Mother Zheng.

Mother Zheng didn’t think her son’s step forward was to help her. After all, she had warned him; she didn’t like Zhou Juan, yet he still kept company with this despicable woman.

The more Mother Zheng thought about it, the angrier she became, "Zheng Weijian, did you really say that?"

Zhou Juan hadn’t expected Mother Zheng to slap her with such force; her cheeks stung painfully.

More painful than the sting on her face was the realization that Zheng Weijian, watching her being bullied by his mother, had not stepped in to defend her.

In that moment, Zhou Juan’s feelings toward Zheng Weijian turned to hatred. But upon hearing his next words, she wondered if she had misunderstood him.

Zheng Weijian, looking at Mother Zheng’s furious expression, stepped back in fear, never having imagined she could be so fierce.

He was genuinely concerned that after his answer, she would not hesitate to strike him too.

But after thinking it over, he felt it wouldn’t be a big deal. He was the precious child of the family, "Yes, I did say that."

Mother Zheng, seeing her son who saw no issue with the situation, said, "Fine, you want to become an educated youth."

"I’ll go find the household registration book."
