Chapter 1574

Jin Peng said urgently: "Sister, it's not that I'm criticizing you, but women are just women. A horse won't get fat without wild grass, and a person won't get rich without windfall. Danger is a fart. As long as it allows me to get ahead, even if I have to climb a mountain of knives or go into a sea of fire, I won't blink an eye. Besides, don't you know what kind of person my brother-in-law is? He's a big shot with status in the Four Nine City. Countless people beg for help, burn incense, and worship Buddha just to get a chance to do things for my brother-in-law, and they don't even get the opportunity. You can't waste my chance to soar."

Jin Lian said worriedly: "Your brother-in-law wants to arrange for you to take a few people to Xiangjiang."

Jin Peng opened his eyes wide in surprise: "To Xiangjiang! Really? I dream of going to Xiangjiang! Sister, go tell my brother-in-law now. I'll take this task. Even if the Heavenly King himself comes, he won't stop me."

Xiangjiang!

That was the world of splendor that countless young people dreamed of. From newspapers, television, and people's casual talk, Jin Peng had heard many legends about Xiangjiang—cars running all over the streets, planes flying all over the sky, high-rise buildings everywhere, money and beauties everywhere... Hearing it made his heart itch, and he wished he could grow wings and fly over.

Jin Lian worried: "Xiangjiang is so far, and you have to smuggle yourself in. I'm afraid you'll be in danger. If you have any accidents, how can I explain it to Mom? How can I explain it to Dad?"

Jin Peng said excitedly: "Sister, I'm not a child anymore. I'm an adult now. A real man, I should have gone out to explore long ago, but I never had the chance. Now the opportunity is right in front of me. Even if there's a mountain of knives or a sea of fire ahead, I have to go. Don't worry, I can take care of myself. And there's my brother-in-law. My brother-in-law has such great ability; even for the sake of you and my nephew, he won't let me do anything too dangerous. I guess this is my brother-in-law testing me, looking for a chance to pull me up. If you don't let me go, then I might just be a little thug waiting to die for the rest of my life. Sister, let me go out and explore. When I make it big, I'll buy you big gold bracelets and big gold necklaces. I heard the clothes in Xiangjiang are beautiful; I'll buy you a bunch of beautiful clothes when I come back."

Jin Lian sighed: "Sigh, since you insist on going, then I'll reply to your brother-in-law. Behave yourself these few days, don't mess around with those unreliable fox friends and dog companions of yours, and wait honestly at home for news."

Jin Peng's face turned red with excitement: "Got it, thanks, Sister."

After Jin Peng left, Jin Lian locked the door and went to the Cao house. Her son, the little fatty, was riding a bicycle in the courtyard with Pingyi and Ailan. This bicycle was made by Cao Weiguo himself using wood, but it was treated like a treasure by these children.

Jin Lian walked into the room: "Sister Yulan, Sister Yujuan, where is Cao Weiguo? I have something to find him for."

Song Yulan, who was knitting a sweater, looked up: "Go check the study."

Song Yujuan pulled Jin Lian and asked: "Have you finished the divorce with Sha Zhuzi?"

Jin Lian said dismissively: "Finished. Finally, I'm relieved. You don't know how sloppy that Sha Zhuzi is. Not to mention his lack of hygiene, he throws dirty clothes and socks everywhere, making the room smell stinky all day long. And he still has the nerve to hook up with widows all day long. I feel disgusted just seeing him. Now it's good; after the divorce, I don't have to suffer his anger anymore."

Song Yujuan said: "You... isn't that how it is for two people living together? Just tolerate each other and it passes. You've divorced, and you're raising a child alone—how will you live?"

Jin Lian laughed: "Sister Yujuan, don't worry. I have hands and feet; I won't starve, and I won't let the child suffer. I have something to find Cao Weiguo for, so I won't chat with you anymore."

Watching Jin Lian leave in a hurry, Song Yujuan walked to Song Yulan's side and muttered: "Look at this Jin Lian, her heart is too big. Such a big thing as a divorce, and she doesn't care at all. She even looks quite happy. Back when I divorced, I felt like hanging myself or jumping into a river." ===== CHAPTER 1576 =====
