Wife’s Resistance

After returning home, not only did Mrs. Huo not receive any compensation or apology, but she also had to buck up and cooperate with Mr. Huo’s performance to coerce Huo You into agreeing to their request.

After both of them were injured by the disgraceful Huo You, Mr. Huo took all of Huo Feng’s attention. As Huo Feng’s mother, Mrs. Huo looked like a pitiful wretch who no one cared about even though she was more seriously injured. In the end, only a vulgar and lowly female cook came to help her.

Mrs. Huo’s pampering of Huo Feng was without reason. She didn’t blame Huo Feng for thinking more highly of Mr. Huo and neglecting her. Instead, she blamed the reason why Huo Feng ignored her on Mr. Huo.

After her anger accumulated, Mrs. Huo was filled with resentment towards Mr. Huo and was scolded again.

Mrs. Huo could not be bothered to feign civility anymore. She rebutted Mr. Huo’s reproach with a stiff tone, “I said bad things about that Ding woman, and you slapped me. Now, I can’t even scold a female cook? Why, are you going to beat me up over a vulgar servant?”

After being married for so many years, Mr. Huo had only been mocked by Mrs. Huo in such an eccentric manner when they were newlyweds. At that time, Mrs. Huo’s family hadn’t gone bankrupt yet. Two families were connected by a political marriage between wealthy families who were well-matched in terms of family background. Mrs. Huo was a proud person, and even if she got married, it was impossible for her to change her personality and lower herself to her husband in every way.

At that time, every time Mrs. Huo felt a little unhappy, she would fly into a rage at Mr. Huo. As time passed, Mr. Huo couldn’t be bothered to return home. Later on, Mr. Huo had a mistress, and Mrs. Huo’s family also encountered an accident. In just a few months, her family went into complete decline. If it wasn’t for the fact that Mrs. Huo was already pregnant with Mr. Huo’s child, she might not have been able to sit firmly in the position of the Huo Family’s madam.

Without the support of the family, Mrs. Huo started to change her attitude. She was obedient to Mr. Huo and constantly tried to please and cooperate with him. This allowed her to be the Huo Family’s madam for over 20 years.

However, now, Mrs. Huo, who had always followed her husband’s orders and expressed her support for all his decisions and opinions with a smile on her face and had never given her husband any attitude, actually dared to speak to Mr. Huo in such a malicious tone. Even Huo Feng, who thought that he knew the Huo Family very well, looked at Mrs. Huo in surprise, let alone Mr. Huo.

Although she was laughing loudly, there was no joy on Mr. Huo’s face. She smiled and tears seeped out of the corners of her eyes. She could no longer put on a pretense anymore.

Mrs. Huo looked at Huo Feng expressionlessly again and said in a soft voice with a complicated tone, “Huo Feng, you’re your father’s good son. Send him back to the bedroom and let him have a good rest.”

In the end, Mrs. Huo could not bear to say anything harsh to Huo Feng.

She no longer looked at the expression on Huo Feng’s face and instead looked away. She slowly stood up, her body a little bent as she slowly made her way up the stairs to the master bedroom on the second floor.

Huo Feng stood beside Mr. Huo and looked at Mrs. Huo’s slightly unsteady figure. Although his face was expressionless, his gaze flickered slightly.

Huo Feng admitted that he didn’t feel too good seeing his mother’s rare frailty.

Mr. Huo glanced at Huo Feng and realized that he didn’t show any intention of catching up to Mrs. Huo. He felt a little satisfied and nodded secretly in his heart.

After Mrs. Huo’s figure disappeared around the corner of the stairs, Mr. Huo said in a soft voice to Huo Feng, “Help me back to my room. I need to rest too.”

Huo Feng nodded and readily agreed. “Okay, Dad.”

He held Mr. Huo’s arm and sent him to the bedroom. Then, Huo Feng eagerly helped him take off his coat, placed him on the bed, and pulled the blanket over him.

In the end, Huo Feng said to Mr. Huo with great consideration, “Dad, I’ve already contacted the family doctor. He’ll come over later to check the wound on your nose. Moreover, I think it’s best for you to do a physical examination. I realized that Dad seems to be more prone to dizziness when you get angry. As far as I know, this is a symptom of hypertension and high blood sugar. If you really have these problems, you must nurse yourself timely”
