Chapter 837: Jin Jin Lian Moves

Nanluoguxiang

Jin Jin Lian moved into Suoyi Hutong in Nanluoguxiang. Jin Peng looked at the elegant courtyard and the brand-new furniture in the room with envy: "Sister, this house is much better than ours. The furniture is all new, and there's a radio and a television. You've fallen into a nest of blessings."

Jin Jin Lian said proudly: "Stop with the nonsense. Put the sewing machine away and get lost quickly."

Cao Cao Weiguo said he would let Jin Jin Lian live in an old civilian house, but how could he really let her live in that kind of place? Besides, even if he didn't feel sorry for Jin Jin Lian, he had to take care of his son.

After choosing, he arranged a private courtyard for Jin Jin Lian and her son, with three main rooms, two rooms in the east wing, complete brand-new furniture, a radio, and a television installed. The coal balls for the winter were stored in the shed on the west side in advance, which made Jin Jin Lian so happy she hugged Cao Cao Weiguo and wouldn't let go, dragging him into the bedroom to warm the house in the new room before stopping.

Jin Peng's eyes lit up as he touched the television, and he begged with a thick face: "Sister, look, this east wing room is empty anyway. Can you let me move in? At home, Mom manages me every day; it's so annoying."

Jin Jin Lian laughed lightly: "If you're not afraid of being locked in a dog cage, then you can move in."

"Then I'd better not."

Jin Peng was so scared he shivered and retracted his little thoughts.

Regarding the affair between his sister and Cao Cao Weiguo, Jin Peng had known for a long time, but he couldn't stand the fact that his cheap brother-in-law had such a hard hand and a heart so ruthless and poisonous that he had suffered enough.

Even though years had passed, Jin Peng still shivered whenever he thought about it, and if he thought about it too much, he would have nightmares at night.

Locking his brother-in-law in a cage with wolves, throwing his brother-in-law into the mountains blindfolded, putting his brother-in-law in an oil drum and throwing it into the river... Is this something a normal person can do?

The poor fear the fierce, the fierce fear the reckless, the reckless fear the one who doesn't fear death.

Jin Peng thought he was poor, fierce, and reckless enough, but after meeting his cheap brother-in-law Cao Cao Weiguo, he knew what a living Yama was, and what "if Yama calls you to die at the third watch, he won't keep you until the fifth."

Shouting at his friends to carry the sewing machine into the room, Jin Peng approached Jin Jin Lian with a cheeky smile: "Sister, do you really not want the other things?"

Jin Jin Lian waved her hand: "I don't want them. You take them to sell for scrap; keep the money for yourself to spend."

Jin Peng thought that having such good luck was different; things worth dozens of Brother Yuan weren't even in her eyes.

"Thanks, sister!"

After thanking her with a cheeky smile, Jin Peng was about to go buy things in a hurry and then go have fun with the money, but he was stopped by Jin Jin Lian before he even reached the door: "Wait a minute, I have something else to tell you."

Jin Peng said impatiently: "Sister, what else is there?"

Jin Jin Lian said with a straight face: "Your brother-in-law has arranged a job for you. If you're not interested, then get lost."

As soon as Jin Peng heard this, he immediately turned back and approached Jin Jin Lian cheekily: "Good sister, you should have said so earlier. I dream of serving my brother-in-law, but unfortunately, he has always looked down on me. Now that he wants to arrange a job for me, that's a great thing."

Jin Jin Lian hesitated: "Whether it's a good thing is hard to say. I'm afraid you'll encounter danger, so I haven't made up my mind yet, and I don't know if I should tell you."

Jin Peng said urgently: "Sister, it's not that I'm talking about 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 I can get ahead, I won't blink even if I have to climb a mountain of knives or go into a sea of fire. Besides, do you know who my brother-in-law is? He's a big figure with a face in the capital. How many people beg for mercy, burn incense, and worship Buddha just to do things for him, but they don't have the chance? You can't waste my opportunity to soar!"

Jin 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 in surprise: "To Xiangjiang! Really! I dream of going to Xiangjiang! Sister, go tell my brother-in-law now that I'll take this job. Even if the King of Heaven comes, he won't be able to stop me."

Xiangjiang!

That was the vibrant world 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... It made his heart itch, and he wished he could grow wings and fly over.

Jin Jin Lian said worriedly: "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 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 the road ahead is a mountain of knives or a sea of fire, I have to go. Don't worry about me; I can take care of myself. Besides, there's my brother-in-law. He 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, I might just be a little thug waiting to die for the rest of my life. Sister, just 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 Jin Lian sighed: "Sigh, since you're determined to go, I'll reply to your brother-in-law. Behave yourself these days, don't mess around with those unreliable friends of yours, and wait for news at home honestly."

Jin Peng said with a red face from excitement: "I know, thanks, sister."

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

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

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

Song Cousin Yujuan pulled Jin Jin Lian and asked: "Did you finish the divorce with Seeing Shazhu?"

Jin Jin Lian said dismissively: "Finished. Finally, I'm liberated. You don't know how sloppy that Seeing Shazhu is. Not only is he unhygienic, but he throws dirty clothes and socks everywhere, making the room smell stinky all day. And even then, he shamelessly hooks up with widows all day. I feel disgusted just seeing him. Now it's good; after the divorce, I don't have to take his anger anymore."

Song Cousin Yujuan said: "You, living together as a couple is just like that. If you tolerate each other, it passes. After the divorce, you're alone with a child; how will you live?"

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

Watching Jin Jin Lian leave in a hurry, Song Cousin Yujuan walked to Song Song Yulan's side and muttered: "Look at this Jin 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. When I divorced back then, I had the heart to hang myself or jump into a river."
