Of course, this was just his wild speculation.
With many people helping at home, Yin Lan was thinking about going to the county town. She glanced at Chen Yourun as if to say goodbye and tell him to take good care of the house, and then walked towards Zhao Dashan.
Zhao Dashan immediately understood, "You have a runner-up wife, so you're going to the county town, right? I get it."
Yin Lan was puzzled; how did he know that?
However, knowing that he needed to use his family's oxcart, he should go back to get it, so Yin Lan waited for him not far outside the house.
After about half a cup of tea's time, Yin Lan turned her head and found that Zhao Dashan was still working outside.
What's wrong with this person?
Then, on the other side, Chen Yourun had already driven over in an oxcart.
Upon seeing her, he stopped the oxcart by the roadside and jumped down.
"Why is it you?" Yin Lan asked.
Who are you waiting for?
Chen Yourun raised an eyebrow.
He explained, "Dashan stays at home and watches over things; nothing will happen."
Moreover, the children are all in school, there's a tutor at home, and Hu Er is there too. The family's money is all hidden very securely. And anyone who wants to steal wouldn't choose Yin Lan's small thatched hut. Even if there are many people, they still wouldn't come. Besides, she's known for being poor and extravagant, and she doesn't keep any money on her.
So Yin Lan didn't care anymore; it didn't matter who went.
She walked over, intending to climb onto the oxcart, but suddenly felt that the movement was somewhat unseemly. Just as she hesitated, she felt a touch on her waist.
Startled, she instinctively exclaimed, "Ah!"
Then, with a steady and powerful lift, she was sent straight up.
Chen Yourun withdrew his hand and said seriously, "What are you dawdling for? Let's set off early, or it will be dark when we get back."
Yin Lan pursed her lips.
The hard sensation still lingered on her waist; when he placed his hand on it, it felt as hard as iron.
Moreover, he was extremely strong, as if he were bound, and could not escape even with all his strength.
Chen Yourun drove the oxcart, which swayed and rocked as it moved forward.
He glanced at his wife out of the corner of his eye; she seemed to be looking at the scenery, and he observed her for a long time without her looking at him.
Neither of them spoke for a moment.
Chen Yourun touched the whip, rubbing his fingers, as if the sensation from the previous touch still lingered on his hands.
She was so thin that he worried he might accidentally break her waist.
How can it be so thin?
His past memories were not very clear. He only remembered that when they did that, she always seemed very uncomfortable and would urge him to finish before he could do anything.
There haven't been many times in total, so... my experience and insights are actually quite limited.
This was the first time he had realized that a woman's waist could be so soft and slender.
He swallowed hard.
Hurry up and catch the train.
More and more people are building houses, so I need to hurry to the city to buy things and then cook dinner when I get back.
With more people, the houses should be able to be built quickly.
Chen Yourun silently counted the days in his mind.
Chen Yourun drove much faster than Zhao Dashan, but surprisingly, there weren't many tenant farmers around, and the ride was quite smooth.
However, once the speed increased, Yin Lan was overwhelmed and didn't have time to look at the ground for any discarded junk that could be exchanged for money.
But it doesn't matter, Yin Lan has already made up her mind. She's going to go into town today and make a big splash with that matter.
In just over an hour, the county town was already in sight.
Yin Lan tried to forget the feeling in her lower back. They were husband and wife, so it was normal. She encouraged herself and then said seriously, "I think this winter will be colder than usual. If it snows heavily, will the road to the county town be blocked?"
The official road is unlikely to be used, but the route involves winding around two mountains. One side of the mountain road is a cliff, and there is also a tunnel. Once there is heavy snow and the road is icy, this section of the road will definitely be impassable.
In other words, about twenty villages, including Tiejian Village, will be unable to enter the county seat.
"If the temperature drops further, then..."
Chen Yourun looked into Yin Lan's bright eyes and asked, "You want to do business in cotton fabrics?"
He actually guessed it right away.
Yin Lan brought a lot of money with her when she went out today. Chen Yourun thought that she had some plans for going to the city. However, according to the villagers, she must have been shopping. But in fact, people who don't know how to spend money can't make money either.
How much money can you really save by cutting back on savings?
The other villages are much wealthier than Iron Sword Village; they can definitely make money trading cloth and cotton.
Even if he disagreed, Yin Lan was determined to do it herself.
"What if this winter doesn't snow heavily and it's not cold?" Chen Yourun asked.
“If we buy in bulk, we can negotiate a lower price. Even if it’s not cold, if we go to the village to sell our goods and the price is similar to that in the county town, they will sell very well.”
Chen Yourun was genuinely surprised. He had only asked casually, but he had actually thought of a solution.
What he didn't expect was that his wife had even thought of this aspect, and had planned it out so clearly.
His eyes lit up.
Yin Lan thought he disagreed, "I'll just consider the money a loan..."
Chen Yourun grabbed her hand. "What are you doing?"
"Let's buy cloth," Chen Yourun said with a smile.
His wife is so capable and intelligent, how could he not support her?
Since he came back, he didn't actually intend to make a living entirely from farming. Now that he had brought back money, he naturally hoped to use it to generate more money.
He had only been back for a short time and hadn't had time to think about the issue yet, thinking he would make a plan in the spring. Little did he know that his wife had already made up her mind.
Moreover, based on his experience, this winter will definitely be very cold, with a high probability of heavy snow and blizzards.
When he was very young, his grandfather told him before he passed away that this heavy snow was foreshadowed and had been predicted over the years.
This year is a cold winter.
Yin Lan was surprised that he agreed so easily.
Actually, this was just one step in her plan. Yin Lan herself had a system. So many people in the village and other villages had worn their clothes for who knows how many years, how worn and tattered they were. If she could get all of them... and exchange them for money in the system... hehehe, that would really be a windfall.
Moreover, by doing fabric business, she can also make the money she earns from "collecting scraps" public, killing two birds with one stone.
The two of them went to the fabric shops in the county town to inquire about prices.
The villagers couldn't possibly wear cotton or silk, and these things were extremely expensive. A bolt of cotton cost five hundred coins, and silk was even more frightening, costing several taels of silver per bolt, and that was just ordinary silk.
Tsk tsk tsk, Yin Lan looked at it, not daring to even touch it, it was too expensive.
"Take two feet and I'll make you a set." Chen Yourun suddenly spoke from behind her, leaning down and whispering in her ear.
