“Dad!” Zhang Yue weakly resisted, “Is what you’re doing fair to Uncle Wen for all the help he has given to our family?”

Due to Cao Hui not having a formal job and Zhang Tan often idling away drinking, they had no savings and had to do odd jobs when short on money.

If it weren’t for the Wen family’s consideration of their past relationship, frequently providing assistance, their family probably couldn’t even afford groceries.

“What help? They’re just pitying us!” Zhang Tan said as if it were a matter of course. “Do you think they’re doing this for our good? They look down on us. Occasionally giving us alms is just to show that their family is kind-hearted. In their hearts, they don’t see us as equals!”

“Dad, how can you think like that? Have you forgotten the last time you injured your leg? Who paid for your hospitalization?” Zhang Yue never expected that her father, who always called Wen Miao’s father “Brother”, harbored such despicable thoughts.

“Don’t mention that! If it weren’t for helping the old Wen family renovate their balcony, how could 1 have gotten injured? It’s only natural for them to pay for my hospitalization! It’s considered a work-related injury! Not making them compensate is already good enough!”

Zhang Tan impatiently waved his hand and said, “Say one more word, and 1’11 slap you. Am I your dad, or is he your dad?”

He didn’t mention that he fell because he was drunk at the time.

At that time, Zhang Tan hadn’t earned a penny for a long time. Worried that Zhang Yue and her daughter would be unable to afford meals, the Wen family gave him the job of renovating the balcony.

However, Zhang Tan’s bad habits persisted. Knowing that the Wen family would soon pay him, he intensified his drinking. He drank all day, only working near dusk, and took the opportunity to have dinner at the Wen family’s place.

At that time, he had drunk quite a bit, and the Wen family advised him to sober up before working. However, he insisted on finishing the work immediately, resulting in breaking his leg.

The Wen family even sent him to the hospital and covered the medical expenses, which was already very kind.

Zhang Tan, however, felt that it was only natural.

“Mr. Zhang, I understand your thoughts, but it’s best if Zhang Yue agrees to this matter as well.” Song Yan interrupted the father and daughter’s argument and then turned to Zhang Yue with a friendly smile. “Don’t rush to make a decision. How about going to school with me? What do you think?”

“Go to school for what? I don’t want to go out!” Zhang Yue resisted.

However, Song Yan raised his arm, looked at the time on his watch, and said, “School is probably about to be dismissed now. Let’s walk over. We should make it in time. Change your clothes, wear a hat, and I’ll just take you to have a look. If you can still refuse me by then, I won’t come again.”

“Hey, Attorney Song, you can’t not come!” Zhang Tan pushed Zhang Yue’s arm with resentment. “What are you still dawdling for? Hurry up and go with him. Do you know how much I worry about you?! Who am I doing all this for!”

Zhang Yue remained silent, only nodding slowly after a long while. She went back to her room, changed into a long coat, put on a hat and glasses, making sure that no one could recognize her. Then she followed Song Yan out.

Their neighborhood was old, dilapidated, and occasionally unpleasant odors emitted from unattended garbage piles.

When Zhang Yue caught a whiff of the smell, she subconsciously looked at Song Yan in front of her. Seeing him walking with a calm expression, she inexplicably breathed a sigh of relief.

“Hey, Mrs. Zhang!”

A shout from behind startled Zhang Yue.

She immediately stopped, then realized that the person calling wasn’t her.

“Oh, Xiao Liu, are you also picking up your daughter from school?” Mrs. Zhang walked happily with the person, chatting while eating melon seeds. “Since that incident with Zhang Yue, I don’t dare let my daughter go home alone. It’s too unsafe!”

Xiao Liu nodded in agreement. “Exactly! Zhang Yue is really pitiful. Such a good young lady unexpectedly got ruined for no reason. By the way, my youngest son told me last night that medical research has found that unborn babies will be influenced by the telegony effect! Who would dare to marry a girl like Zhang Yue in the future?”

“What is the telegony effect?” Mrs. Zhang asked curiously.

Xiao Liu proudly explained, “My youngest son loves reading online books, so he understands everything! He told me that the telegony effect refers to the fact that children will inherit their mothers’ previous spouses’ genes!”

“All? So the child Zhang Yue has in the future will have the genes of the rapist?” Mrs. Zhang frowned in disgust. “Who would dare let her have children to continue the family line? They might end up all being criminals. This is truly a tragedy!”

“Exactly!” As the two walked further away, their gossiping voices gradually faded.

By the time Zhang Yue realized what was happening, she had been standing alone in the same place for a long time, and even her legs were a little numb..
