For the sake of the villagers, the village chief of Lower River Village made the decision and placed an order with Qin Yao, even prepaying her a deposit of five taels.
The two sides signed a simple agreement as the sun began to set.
Wang Yu enthusiastically offered to drive a bullock cart to take Qin Yao and the others back, but Qin Yao, not wanting to trouble him, politely declined.
The main reason was that she had some matters to discuss with Liu the carpenter on the way back, which were not convenient for outsiders to hear.
Wang Yu had no choice but to see them off to the village entrance, reminding them repeatedly, "Miss Qin, once you finish the drawings of the mill, make sure to send them over right away!"
"Don't worry, I'll bring them over myself once they're done." There were some details she felt better handling in person after discussing with the craftsmen.
