Chapter 465 Prejudice
No matter what, Yuan Ming had saved Chu Mingkai, and Su Nuannuan didn't want him to be framed by others.

Su Mianmian did not refute Su Jinjin's words, and unusually, she spoke ill of others.

“Nuan Nuan, this might not be a misunderstanding. Once, I saw the two of them kissing, right behind a big reef.”

Su Nuannuan was momentarily speechless, then stammered.

"Could it be...could it be that Second Sister has mistaken you for someone else?"

Su Mianmian shook her head and said.

"You read that right, it's Yuan Ming. Yuan Ming even promised that he would divorce Sanfeng after the mission was over."

Su Nuannuan's eyes widened.

divorce!

This was 60 years ago; the woman's reputation was greater than the sky.

Especially in rural areas, if a woman gets divorced, she often can't make a living. No one will blame the man; they'll only think the woman is bad.

hiss!
Suddenly, Su Nuannuan felt that Yuan Ming being alive might cause even greater harm to Sanfeng and her daughter.

Su Jinjin was just as shocked as Su Nuannuan.

"Mianmian, why didn't you tell me about this!"

Su Mianmian rolled her eyes at Su Jinjin and said.

"Let me tell you, the whole residential compound knew about it the next day."

Su Nuannuan felt that this Sanfeng was like a pitiful little thing.

At this moment, Su Mianmian offered some words of advice to Su Nuannuan.

"Nuan Nuan, to tell you the truth, San Feng is a good girl. Although it's a bit of a pity that she's paired with Ming Kai, it's a matter of mutual consent. Regardless of Yuan Ming's character when he was alive, he did protect Ming Kai, and that's the result of the organization's investigation."

Hearing this, Su Nuannuan had a plan in mind.

If that's the case, having Chu Mingkai take care of Sanfeng and her daughter for the rest of their lives is indeed a good idea.

Su Nuannuan knew that her second sister was meticulous. Since she had said that Sanfeng was a good girl, her character couldn't be too bad.

More importantly, Yuan Ming did indeed save Chu Mingkai's life.

A life saved is a debt of gratitude that transcends all things. In later generations, repaying such a debt with one's own body might not be appropriate. However, in modern times, it means saving two lives.

Su Nuannuan thought for a moment, then finally nodded and said.

"Second sister, listen to you. Sanfeng is a good girl. Second brother won't lose out by being with her."

Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian nodded with smiles.

When the two returned this time, Chu Mingkai asked them to persuade Su Nuannuan and Chu Mingzhou. As long as the two accepted Sanfeng's identity, the rest of the family would not object.

The clever Su Mianmian quickly realized that Su Nuannuan's family held a high position in the Chu family. This made her very happy.

However, even without Chu Mingkai's request, the two of them would not speak ill of Sanfeng.

Yuan Sanfeng was indeed a good girl. Although she was of average appearance, she was hardworking and honest.

Moreover, Su Mianmian noticed that the girl who came with Yuan Sanfeng was chubby and her clothes were about 80% new.

Instead, her body was so thin that she was just skin and bones, and her clothes were covered in patches. If it weren't for her jet-black hair, everyone would have thought she was over forty years old.

Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian both felt sorry for this simple rural woman.

That alone is not enough to move them.

What truly convinced them was that when Yuan Sanfeng came to see Chu Mingkai, she didn't cling to him, but instead rented a small house on the island.

She did not agree to be with Chu Mingkai, but wanted to raise her daughter independently.

I left my hometown because I simply couldn't make a living there anymore.

Su Mianmian observed Yuan Sanfeng for a long time and realized that this woman truly had no intention of being with Chu Mingkai.

Moreover, she was incredibly diligent, dressing her daughter up beautifully every day. When someone bullied her daughter, Yuan Sanfeng didn't cower in despair; instead, she rushed back to the scene.

This is a mother with a strong inner strength.

After dinner, Su Nuannuan slept in the same room with Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian. Su Jinjin and Su Mianmian told Su Nuannuan a lot about Yuan Sanfeng.

Yuan Sanfeng's image gradually takes shape in Su Nuannuan's mind.

The more Su Nuannuan learned about this woman, the more she realized that she was a good person.

Perhaps she is not good enough for Chu Mingkai, but she is certainly suitable to be Chu Mingkai's wife.

Having obtained the information she wanted, Su Nuannuan went home.

After finishing her day's work, Su Nuannuan went home and told Chu Mingzhou about Yuan Sanfeng's situation.

Right now, this is what Chu Mingzhou wants to know most.

After listening to Su Nuannuan's story, Chu Mingzhou found it hard to believe that there could be such a good person.

In Chu Mingzhou's mind, capable people, like him and Su Nuannuan, will live a good life.

Unlike Yuan Sanfeng, who couldn't even protect her husband's pension and ended up leaving her hometown in a sorry state.

This further lowered Chu Mingzhou's impression of Yuan Sanfeng.

If Su Nuannuan knew what Chu Mingzhou was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes.

She and Chu Mingzhou, one with a special advantage and the other with gender advantage and excellent family background, even if they were both good-for-nothings, they would still live a very good life.

However, Yuan Sanfeng's situation was catastrophic from the start.

Having grown up in the Yuan family since childhood, one can tell from the way Yuan Ming and his older brother treat Yuan Sanfeng that she has been mistreated at home quite a bit.

After marrying her husband, he often left home. He was stationed on an island and never thought of bringing his wife and daughter over.

Now that her husband is dead, her brother-in-law is eyeing the compensation money. She's a woman without a man, and she has a little baby by her side.

Compromise and forbearance are her only way to save herself.

Su Nuannuan noticed Chu Mingzhou's unease, shook her head with amusement, and said...

"I think you just look down on divorced women with children."

Su Nuannuan felt this was prejudice.

Chu Mingzhou frowned and shook his head, saying...

“I understand Chu Mingkai’s actions. But I also feel sorry for him. He could compensate the other party with money; there’s no need for him to stay with that Yuan Sanfeng.”

Actually, it wasn't that Chu Mingzhou had a problem with Yuan Sanfeng.

No matter what, it's a fact that her husband saved Chu Mingkai.

However, he didn't want Chu Mingkai to carry such a heavy burden out of guilt. Marriage must be between two people who love each other.

Yuan Sanfeng and Chu Mingkai immediately realized that it was not a good match.

Su Nuannuan looked at Chu Mingzhou's frowning face and tried to think from his perspective.

That makes some sense.

Su Nuannuan herself can accept it, but that doesn't mean people of this era can. After all, everyone has received traditional education since childhood, so it's inevitable that they will be influenced to some extent.

"What do you want to do? No matter what you think, this is your second brother's life. Whether he agrees or not is up to him."

Chu Mingzhou pondered for a while, looked at Su Nuannuan, and spoke with some hesitation.

"Nuan Nuan, I want to go to Dachen Island to see Ming Kai."

Su Nuannuan smiled and glanced at Chu Mingzhou.

Chu Mingzhou's words were exactly what Su Nuannuan had expected. She also felt that she still needed to see Yuan Sanfeng in person.

"Okay. But you'll have to go alone; I can't come with you."

After saying that, Su Nuannuan shook her head regretfully.

She still remembers the happy life she had going beachcombing on Dachen Island a few years ago.
