Rebirth To Rescue My Brother's S2
Chapter 498: Telegony
Zhang Yue pleaded with her father, Zhang Tan, to reconsider, reminding him of the Wang family’s generosity in supporting them financially, especially during his hospitalization. However, Zhang Tan dismissed their help as mere pity and insisted they looked down on his family. He even justified Lisa’s father paying his hospital bills, claiming it was compensation for a work-related injury. Growing impatient, he warned Zhang Yue to stop arguing, threatening to slap her if she continued defending the Wang family.
Zhang Tan concealed the fact that he was drunk when he fell and broke his leg. The Wang family had generously given him a job renovating their balcony, knowing he hadn't earned money in a long time. However, he continued drinking heavily, confident they would pay him soon. Ignoring their advice to sober up before working, he insisted on finishing the job while intoxicated, leading to his injury. The Wang family covered his medical expenses out of kindness, but Zhang Tan saw it as his right.
As Zhang Yue resisted the plan, Song Yan intervened, suggesting she accompany him to school to observe the situation before making a decision. Though hesitant, Zhang Yue faced pressure from her father, who insisted she go, claiming he was doing everything for her benefit.
Zhang Yue disguised herself before leaving with Song Yan. As they walked through their old, run-down neighborhood, she was briefly startled by a shout but soon realized it wasn’t directed at her
Nearby, two women, Mrs. Zhang and Xiao Liu, were gossiping about Zhang Yue’s assault, expressing pity but also discussing a pseudoscientific concept called the telegony effect. Xiao Liu claimed that Zhang Yue’s future children could inherit traits from her attacker, making her undesirable for marriage. Mrs. Zhang reacted with disgust, fearing her offspring might be criminals.
