Quick Transmigration: Underdog Turns out to be Untouchable

Chapter 869: Chapter 780: Dislocated Life 68

Even if someone unaware came to rent the house, as soon as they stepped out, neighbors would enlighten them about the Fang Family’s character. Those looking to rent would immediately change their minds; after all, there are plenty of houses for rent, if not this one, others would do.

Moreover, renting a house from a family with questionable character, what if one day the old man or woman accidentally, or intentionally, fell and then falsely accused them?

Unable to rent out the house, Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang had to rely on collecting garbage to sell for money to make ends meet. However, they were used to a life of comfort, and their bodies weren’t very resilient. Within two years, they fell ill due to excessive contact with garbage, their health rapidly declined, and they could no longer work.

There was no other way; Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang had to sell their house to pay for medical treatment. Once their ailments were cured, they needed to sustain their retirement, yet couldn’t work. The two of them could only buy a small twenty square meter house to live in, keeping the remaining money for their retirement.

Originally, Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang’s money was enough for their retirement. But at this time, Fang Shaosheng returned from juvenile detention. Over the years, he hadn’t studied seriously while inside and, upon release, didn’t want to endure the public’s disdain at school, instead went directly to live off Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang at home.

Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang didn’t have much savings, just over two hundred thousand, and no income. Fang Shaosheng spent money lavishly, and in seven or eight years, they found their funds stretched thin.

Despite being able-bodied, Fang Shaosheng didn’t go out to work and earn, but instead stole Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang’s household registration booklet, sold the house, and left the city alone with the money from the sale.

Over the years, Fang Shaosheng harbored resentment towards Wen Zhijin and Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang. If it weren’t for Wen Zhijin constantly speaking ill of Wen Shuangshuang in his ears, telling him not to get close to his biological sister, how could he have been so hostile towards Wen Shuangshuang?

If he had maintained a good relationship with Wen Shuangshuang, at least he wouldn’t have ended up like this. If Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang hadn’t constantly praised Wen Zhijin while badmouthing Wen Shuangshuang, he wouldn’t have always been so hateful toward Wen Shuangshuang.

With no money and no house, Grandpa Fang and Grandma Fang eventually fell to begging on the streets to survive. Within two years, they died from poverty, illness, and the cold. Not long after their deaths, Fang Zhan, Bai Xiao, and Wen Zhijin were also released from prison.

At this time, Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao were already quite old, even Wen Zhijin had gray hair and looked aged. After Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao got out, they went to find Wen Shuangshuang, intending to demand support from her, since they were Wen Shuangshuang’s parents and Wen Shuangshuang had to support them.

Wen Shuangshuang sneered and directly cited legal statutes stating that parents who abuse or attempt to murder their child, with conclusive evidence, can cancel support obligations. Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao’s attempted murder of their biological daughter Wen Shuangshuang was firmly established, so Wen Shuangshuang no longer needed to support them.

Afterward, Wen Shuangshuang directly drove away Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao, absolutely forbidding them from visiting again. Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao initially tried to stubbornly stay at Wen Shuangshuang’s doorstep, but after being arrested by the police twice, they finally dared not harass Wen Shuangshuang anymore.

Then, Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao resorted to their old tricks, trying to evoke sympathy by accusing Wen Shuangshuang of being heartless. However, the moment the story was reported by an unknown junior reporter, he was fired by the newspaper and couldn’t continue in the journalism industry.

Meanwhile, sharp-eyed internet users dug up the news from years ago, with allegations flying—hiring a hitman to kill their daughter, supposedly because their adopted daughter Wen Zhijin told them that if they killed Wen Shuangshuang, as Wen Shuangshuang’s biological parents, they could inherit her estate.

This way, Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao could receive yearly dividends from Chengfeng Wanli Company’s game profits, no longer needing to seek money from Wen Shuangshuang or worry about her squandering funds on donations.

Once this news was out, the internet exploded. Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao became notorious again, and no matter how sanctimonious people were, no one dared to ask Wen Shuangshuang to accept and support parents like them. Everyone condemned them online, and they were driven away and cursed at on the streets. Years later, Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao were infamous once more, their reputation pitch black.

Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao lived a life where everyone condemned them, even more intensely than before. They couldn’t find jobs, and when recognized by market vendors, they refused to sell to them, nor could they find anyone willing to rent them a house.

Eventually, unable to bear life outside, Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao deliberately resorted to robbery again, voluntarily returning to prison because, once outside, they had no place to survive.

But this time, life in prison wasn’t easy either. The inmates were also aware of the couple’s true nature, and their cellmates began to bully Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao, making their lives exceedingly difficult.

Despite this hardship, Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao didn’t dare to leave prison. As tough as it was inside, at least they could survive; outside, they faced starvation. Disconnected from society and shunned by all, they had no survivability skills.

When Fang Zhan and Bai Xiao were released, they sought out their biological daughter Wen Shuangshuang, hoping she would support them. Likewise, Wen Zhijin, the moment she was released from prison, went to find her biological parents, Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun.

Over the years, Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun were extremely disappointed in Wen Zhijin, yet still sent her some money and goods annually, ensuring her time in prison wasn’t too grueling. Indeed, without these provisions, Wen Zhijin might have perished in prison.

Just as Yu Lei once pandered to Wen Zhijin to win Wen Shuangshuang’s favor, perceptive owners discovered why Yu Lei received Wen Shuangshuang’s kindness, and similarly bribed Wen Zhijin’s fellow inmates to bully her.

These owners were willing to spend money, offering substantial benefits to these inmates, who would rather forego a reduced sentence to fulfill the task of bullying Wen Zhijin.

If it weren’t for the goods Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun sent, which allowed Wen Zhijin to bribe the prison boss, gaining a degree of protection, Wen Zhijin would have been bullied to death in prison by now.

Though Wen Zhijin didn’t die, her life wasn’t much better. She developed numerous ailments in prison and, at over forty, looked like she was in her sixties or seventies, with almost all her hair graying and wrinkles covering her face.

Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun were startled when they saw Wen Zhijin, unable to recognize her at first; their daughter seemed even older than them. Although Wen Zhijin looked pitiful, Wen Jianyun and Liu Yun found it hard to feel any sympathy. Just thinking about how this daughter tried to hire a killer chilled their hearts.

Despite being profoundly disappointed and heartbroken over Wen Zhijin, she was still their biological daughter, and they couldn’t bear to entirely ignore her, letting her, disconnected from society, starve to death. Therefore, they decided to give Wen Zhijin two thousand yuan every month as a living expense to ensure she doesn’t starve, but nothing more.
