It wasn't that Yin Lan didn't want to sell Da Wa and the others' old clothes, but she had already sold them once when she first arrived. At that time, Da Wa, that little nag, kept nagging her about it for a long time. Anyway, their old clothes weren't particularly worn out, so they wouldn't fetch much money. So she simply left them there.
However, Yin Lan's eyes lit up at Tian Youwei's old clothes; they were worth much more.
Ignoring Tian Youwei's refusal, she gave him a slightly better coat and took his old, tattered one, which she then sold in the system.
Yin Lan was delighted to have earned another 500 coins.
Tian Youwei was so moved that his eyes reddened.
He didn't like owing favors to others, but it seemed he already owed Aunt Yin quite a bit. He figured he might as well let it go.
So when Yin Lan asked him if he wanted to learn martial arts with Chen Yourun along with the three children, Tian Youwei bit his lip, struggled for a long time, and finally nodded.
Okay.
Suddenly the house became much more lively.
After such a long time, Da Wa has grown taller and is about the same height as Tian Youwei, but he doesn't have the same large frame, so he doesn't look as strong.
There were three children before, but now there are four, including someone like Tian Youwei. Wang Yun has become more serious about this.
Every day, the small courtyard is filled with the sounds of playful laughter, followed by Lian Wushi's deep and powerful shouts.
In short, every day is lively and bustling.
Because the pigskin coat was very warm, Yin Lan didn't feel cold when she went out. There was still some cotton and cloth left at home. Most of the people in the village who could exchange for it had already done so, and no more people came.
So Yin Lan thought that since she had nothing to do at the moment, she should take all these pieces of cloth and buy them.
Since her family didn't have an oxcart yet, Yin Lan had to borrow one from Zhao Dashan's family, and the other party naturally agreed without hesitation.
The current Yin family is completely different from before. They used to help so many people in the village and bring so many good things to the village.
Because Chen Yourun was busy and couldn't leave, Yin Lan drove the oxcart herself to the next village, which wasn't far and took less than half an hour to get there, and she didn't have much cloth.
Yin Lan drove the oxcart over. The village was no different from Tiejian Village; everyone was freezing and staying at home.
Yin Lan stopped shouting for you and went straight to the village head's house. She told him that she had come to exchange and sell cloth, and the village head was so excited that he didn't know what to do with his hands and feet.
The news of the cloth exchange in Tiejian Village had already spread. It was because someone was doing a good deed. There was a man named Yin in the village who was quite powerful. He actually met such an important person in the county town. The number of people involved must not be large, so naturally, he was seeking benefits for his village.
As the weather gets colder day by day, there are many envious people. Some have even come to his house, saying that Iron Sword Village has it, so why don't we?
The village head also wanted it, and he was troubled by it, but there was nothing he could do.
It's just that the weather is too cold now, so everyone is staying home. Otherwise, people would still be making a scene at his doorstep.
Unexpectedly, the Yin family from the next village came over, and they were talking about this very good news!
The village head was so excited he almost stammered, "Yes, yes, yes! Yes, yes, yes! Lots of them, lots of them!"
He was the first to bring out all his old clothes and exchange them for ten feet of cloth and an ounce of cotton.
This winter is so cold, I need to hurry and make myself a winter coat.
Yin Lan then spoke up, "It's not just cloth; if you have other unwanted items at home, like bowls or cabinets..."
She wanted to say the older and more worn the better, but it would sound so strange that she had to hold back.
"Other items that are no longer needed can also be replaced."
The village head was overjoyed and immediately began rummaging through boxes and cabinets to look for it.
He was also a little worried that the things he brought out were too worn and old, and might upset people.
But to my surprise, they accepted them all without batting an eye!
The village head then received another five feet of cloth and an ounce of cotton, making him so happy he couldn't stop smiling.
Yin Lan was secretly delighted, but she had to suppress her drunkenness and not laugh out loud, absolutely not!
It seems that apart from clothes, everyone is quite accepting of changing other things, so Yin Lan can now act freely.
After exchanging the cloth and cotton at the village head's house, he called on his acquaintances and relatives to exchange as well. When Yin Lan had very little cloth and cotton left, he beat drums and gongs to announce the news to the whole village.
This naturally became a race against time. The villagers who heard the news were initially incredulous, but then, disregarding the freezing cold, they grabbed their belongings and rushed out of their homes.
Unfortunately, people were only able to change into them for a few short periods.
Many families left with great regret.
The village head was still explaining, "This is an opportunity I finally managed to get from Iron Sword Village. Good things are naturally scarce, so you're lucky to have gotten it. As for the others, don't be sad; in the future..."
The village head looked at Yin Lan, his eyes hinting that she shouldn't expose his lie, but also questioning... about the future...
Yin Lan was naturally very happy to accept, "If there is another opportunity in the future, I will come again."
Everyone was a little happier after that.
Since they had lost everything, everyone went home dejectedly.
Yin Lan looked at the old clothes, old sheets, and tattered quilts in their hands, her eyes shining. It seemed that they hadn't brought enough fabric.
However, this also shows that this path is feasible.
When spring comes, she can get things done, and Chen Yourun won't be able to stop her anymore.
Once she has saved up some money, she can open a shop in the county town to specialize in recycling.
This is probably the first garbage recycling shop of this era.
Then we won't need to go door-to-door like this anymore; we can just have them deliver it to our door. Of course, that's a story for another time.
Yin Lan originally thought she would need to visit two villages, but to her surprise, she only needed to visit one village and finished everything in the time it takes to drink two cups of tea.
She absolutely refused to stay for a simple meal, because of the food these people had...
Naturally, it's not as good or as tasty as the food at her house.
The village head had no choice but to let Yin Lan leave.
He also invited two honest and reliable men, along with his own son, to see Yin Lan off.
Although it's cold now and there's almost no one outside, the probability of encountering wild animals is extremely small. However, since the Yin family is his benefactor now, he naturally has to be careful.
Chen Yourun had originally planned to go with Yin Lan. He had just returned and made some arrangements when, unexpectedly, she left on her own.
With no other vehicles available, he had no choice but to walk there. He walked very fast, but before he had gone halfway, he saw the familiar bull's head and the familiar, slender figure on it.
There were three men nearby.
