Male Lead's Canon Fodder Wife novel Chapter 1488

Chapter 1488: Prejudice ( 2 )

Hearing his third brother’s words, Chen Gang nodded and said, "I remember, but the times have changed. Whether they were legally married or not, Eldest sister-in-law has spent years accompanying and helping our brother."

"She even gave birth to two sons to continue our Chen family’s incense stick. Just that alone is more than enough for us to give her the respect and help she deserves."

After a moment of pause, he took a deep breath and said, "Third brother, the one at fault in this matter is our eldest brother. Both of our eldest sisters-in-law and their children were kept in the dark by him. They knew nothing and are the victims."

"How can you point fingers and blame them now? If she had known our brother already had a wife and children, would she have married him with her qualifications?" he asked.

When Chen Xiang heard this, he scratched his head and said, "Second brother, what you said... it does seem to make sense."

"Of course it makes sense. What I said is the truth. It’s you who were blinded by your own prejudice and couldn’t see things clearly," Chen Gang said with a sigh.

"Second brother, you can’t blame me for that. You don’t know what the villagers said about our family after they came to our village," Chen Xiang said, unwilling to be blamed.

"How could I not know?" Chen Gang shook his head.

"Since you know, why did you still want to help them?" Chen Xiang asked with doubts.

"Third brother, rumors are scary things. They are deadlier than a sharpened knife. Do you forget what our eldest brother did to Gou Dan and his mother?" Chen Gang asked.

Recalling the things their brother had done to ruin his wife and eldest son’s reputation, just so he could divorce his wife while keeping his own good reputation intact, Chen Xiang fell silent.

Seeing this, Chen Gang said, "Third brother, I used to be like you, believing the rumors and even joining the villagers in pointing fingers."

"But after everything that’s happened to our family this year, I realized that not all the bad rumors I heard were true, and not all the people I thought were good were truly good. After what happened to our father and brother, I know the truth in my heart."

"Third brother, I’m not asking you to accept them and treat them as family. But at the very least, during their hard times, as their uncles and brothers-in-law, we should lend a helping hand. If not for our eldest brother, then for the sake of our own conscience."

After hearing his second brother’s words, Chen Xiang thought for a long time before letting out a sigh and saying, "Second brother, I understand."

Hearing this, Chen Gang smiled in relief. He patted his third brother’s shoulder and said, "I knew you would understand."
