The Literary Hero of the Republic of China (民国之文豪) [MTL]

Chapter 149

　　At the dining table of Huo's family, there were Marshal Huo, Marshal Huo, Mrs. Huo, and Marshal Huo's wife and children. Marshal Huo's concubines didn't come over.

　　Marshal Huo's real name is Huo Huo Huo, but he later changed his name to Huo Shengping. He is now in his early fifties. Although he is still in good health due to years of exercise, his stomach is inevitably protruding.

　　Now that he was full, he patted his stomach and waited for his subordinate to deliver the letter from his second son.

　　Huo Shaoshuai's real name is Huo Dahai, but now he has changed his name to Huo Yong. He was named with the word "yong", but because the young commander has shown his sharpness, the person who named him thought he should pay attention to the doctrine of the mean.

　　He was sitting with his back straight now, his whole body was as firm as a bamboo, his eyes were sharp, and the eyes would soften a little only when they fell on his child.

　　The two men had such a strong aura that the person who delivered the letter lowered his head subconsciously, not daring to look directly at them.

　　That means Mrs. Huo is not afraid of them, and she is still dissatisfied: "I want to see the letter sent by Huo Ying, but they won't let me read it! Why?"

　　Huo Dashuai glanced at his wife: "Even if I show you, do you understand?"

　　Mrs. Huo was taken aback, and muttered: "I can have someone read it to me."

　　Mrs. Huo's name is Fan Zhenzhu. She was a flower in the village in the early years and she was very beautiful. But now she is old and doesn't take care of it. She always wears dusty clothes and looks very old.

　　Standing with Marshal Huo, it looks like he is much older than Marshal Huo.

　　She is illiterate.

　　After Huo Dashuai got rich, he worked hard to learn how to read and write. Huo Yong and Huo Ying also studied hard when they were abroad. Although they were not as good as Fu Yun'an, they could at least understand both English and Chinese.

　　Huo Shaoshuai can also speak German.

　　But Mrs. Huo...she was illiterate when she was in China, and during the years abroad, she was unwilling to even leave the house, resolutely refused to learn things, so until now, she is still blind and can't understand English.

　　"Confidential stuff, you can read it yourself, but you want others to read it?" Huo Dashuai said.

　　Mrs. Huo stopped talking, she threw her chopsticks on the table, and went to trouble Mrs. Huo Shao: "What do you think of the child? The clothes the child eats are covered with soy sauce!"

　　Mrs. Huo Shao is a traditional woman, and she was about to obediently respond, when Young Marshal Huo said: "Take the child and sort out the things I brought, and distribute them to the family."

　　Mrs. Huo Shao obediently responded, and left with the child in her arms.

　　And at this time, Marshal Huo opened the letter in his hand, and then... Marshal Huo, who has always been very dignified, froze.

　　"What did Huo Ying write?" Mrs. Huo asked: "Reply to him and ask him to come back quickly! And Yun An, he didn't even come back for the new year, and he has reached the age of marriage..."

　　Huo Dashuai heard the word "marriage", stood up abruptly, and said angrily: "You bastard!"

　　"What's wrong with Huo Ying?" Madam Huo asked.
