She got up, dressed, and went to the three children's room. The eldest child came back, and the second and third children clung tightly to their older brother and slept there.

The eldest child was already awake and was about to get up to make breakfast when he saw his mother push the door open and come in.

Yin Lan had already told the three children about this. The second child woke up groggily, still confused, while the third child was still fast asleep. The eldest child, seeing Yin Lan's expression, seemed to have already understood something.

"Mother~"

"Your father... told us to leave and go to the capital," Yin Lan stated clearly.

Da Wa was stunned for a moment. Although he had known about it before, he realized that everything was happening too fast when it actually happened. He felt unprepared and a little lost.

"Go to the school today, explain things to the teacher, and say goodbye to everyone. Come back tonight, and we'll leave early tomorrow morning."

Things happened so fast; I just found out, and now I'm leaving tomorrow.

Da Wa paused for a moment, then said firmly, "Saying goodbye will only take half a day. I'll be back this afternoon to pack with Mother."

Now that the child is quite opinionated, Yin Lan doesn't need to worry about him at all.

"And the second and third children, I will tell them."

Yin Lan patted his head; Da Wa was truly so sensible.

Da Wa stiffened visibly for a moment, but refrained from avoiding Yin Lan's hand. Only after Yin Lan's figure disappeared did Da Wa gently raise his hand and touch the top of his head where Yin Lan had just touched him.

A slight smile played at the corners of her lips.

Previously, Yin Lan had spoken to Zhao Dashan's wife, asking her to help take over the current situation. At that time, Zhao Dashan's wife felt immense pressure and thought she couldn't do it.

But she assumed Yin Lan had other businesses, so she agreed for the time being.

As a result, early that morning, Yin Lan finally told her the real reason.

"Walk?"

"The capital?"

Zhao Dashan's wife was so shocked by the news that she was completely stunned and couldn't come to her senses for a long time.

After what seemed like an eternity, she finally said hesitantly, "Yes, someone like the eldest son of the Chen family is clearly not an ordinary person. Actually, you are the same; you're somewhat out of place in this village, especially after you've changed for the better. You don't seem like a villager at all. Now you're leaving. The capital is a very, very far place. It must be very prosperous there... Okay... go ahead..."

As Zhao Dashan's wife spoke, she burst into tears.

"Why are you crying? It's not like I'm not coming back. Besides, you can come to the capital to find me."

"If you want to come to the capital in the future, that's fine, especially for the kids. Only by going to big cities can they broaden their horizons and have better future prospects."

See? This Yin family member is indeed no ordinary person. She had already thought it through, and her vision is truly exceptional.

Ordinary people think that if they can make more money and do well in the county town, that would be a huge achievement. But these people don't even care about this village.

Zhao Dashan's wife thought of her own child.

Especially after that test in the five county towns, Da Hu and Er Hu, who used to think they were already quite good in the village and were always among the top students, realized after going to the county town that there were many more capable people there.

If it were the capital city, there would probably be even more intelligent, outstanding, and capable people there.

But when asked to abandon everything here and leave, Zhao Dashan's wife immediately became hesitant.

"I...I can't do it. In the future...if I have the chance in the future, I will go and see you. The capital is a very big place. I will let Da Hu and Er Hu see the world."

Yin Lan smiled and nodded.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything at home, from the pig offal business to the other businesses."

These days, Zhao Dashan's wife is getting more and more efficient at doing things, and she no longer makes mistakes in bookkeeping. General calculations are no longer a problem for her.

There's no need to expand; maintaining the current operations is perfectly fine.

Moreover, the accounts are all clear and there are no problems at all, so his character is completely trustworthy.

"If you leave, how am I supposed to show you the account books? And how am I supposed to give you the money we've earned?" This was what Zhao Dashan's wife was thinking about.

Yin Lan had already thought it through. "After I leave, you guys will be handling everything. How about this: you contribute some money, and we'll consider it a partnership. We'll split the profits equally."

Zhao Dashan's wife's eyes widened in disbelief. "This..."

After all, Yin Lan is leaving and may not be able to come back in the future. It is certainly possible to continue employing Zhao Dashan's wife, but she may never come back in her lifetime, and other people will have to do things for her in the future.

One year or a few years is understandable, but if it's more than ten or twenty years, wouldn't even the best person feel uncomfortable? They do all the work themselves, but the lion's share is taken by others.

Actually, there's no problem with that. After all, the recipe and method belong to Yin Lan. But since she's gone, she should naturally teach it to Zhao Dashan's wife. People are always in a state of flux. Right now, her character is absolutely trustworthy, but human nature is most vulnerable to testing. Yin Lan doesn't want to put herself to the test. It would be better if everyone ate meat together, which would prevent this problem from arising.

Zhao Dashan's wife was so surprised and happy that she almost cried.

Finally, the two agreed that Yin Lan would naturally take the lion's share, 60%, Zhao Dashan's wife would contribute 200 taels, accounting for 20%, Chen Laosan's wife and Hu Er would each take 5%, and Old Mrs. Chen would not need to contribute any money, as Yin Lan would contribute 3%, which would be considered her retirement money. The remaining 7% would be divided among all those who were willing to join the work.

In this way, everyone can be guaranteed to do their best, as if they are working for themselves. Their enthusiasm and sense of responsibility will be greatly enhanced, and Zhao Dashan's wife will have a much easier time managing things in the future.

As soon as the news was announced, the entire Iron Sword Village was in an uproar, and those who were eligible immediately went home to get their money.

This time, we're not going to Yin Lan's place; we're leaving everything to Zhao Dashan's wife.

Looking at the crowded people, Yin Lan went home to pack her things.

Fortunately, none of us had many clothes. Xiao Wu said that we only needed to bring clothes to change into on the road.

Yin Lan picked out a few of the remaining clothes that were neither new nor old and gave them to Da Dong and Xiao Xi. The two children refused to accept them, so Yin Lan took their old clothes, gave them the newer ones, and then kicked them out.

Yin Lan took her old clothes and sold them directly through the system. This earned her much more money than selling her own half-new and half-old items. She sold them for one or two taels of silver.

Da Dong and Xiao Xi were deeply moved when they saw their new clothes, and they became even more determined to repay Aunt Yin in the future.

There weren't many clothes left, so she used the same method, asking people to bring their old clothes from home to exchange for them. In the end, she got seven or eight tattered clothes, which Yin Lan didn't even want to touch. She took them to be washed and sold, and finally got seven taels of silver.
