"It's getting so late and it's not convenient to go back to the city. If you don't mind, would you like to stay at my house for one night?"

Qin Yao, who had taken the money, looked completely different from before. She shouldered the big knife and smiled happily.

If it weren't for Wang Jin who could still feel the residual chill on his neck, he would have doubted whether his memory was biased.

"No, it's still too late to go back now." Wang Jin refused, blew the whistle, called the horse over and prepared to leave.

Qin Yao shrugged and didn't hesitate. She was just being polite anyway.

Looking at Wang Jin with a pained face, Qin Yao said jokingly: "My lord, if you hadn't left me alone and ran away first, how could we still be in this situation now? Give me one hundred and two hundred taels." That’s enough, after all, the journey is not far.”

Wang Jin paused before mounting his horse, then turned around and said with excitement, "Then give me back the excess."

Qin Yao's smile disappeared instantly, "Tell me how you want to die?"

"Pretend I didn't say what I just said." Wang Jin had a strong desire to survive. He got on his horse and told her to meet her outside Kaiyang County the next morning. He clasped his fists and said, "Goodbye!"

In the blink of an eye, both the man and the horse disappeared from Qin Yao's sight.

"Ha~" Qin Yao shook her head in a funny way, picked up her two-meter sword, and returned home to sleep with satisfaction.

Silver is indeed a good thing, she is not angry at all now~

After a dreamless night, Qin Yao had a good sleep and drove the children to school in high spirits.

Erlang was about to climb onto the carriage to go to school. Qin Yao checked the bruises on his neck again and again to make sure it was nothing serious and let him get on the carriage.

Si Niang stayed at home alone, waiting for Li's delicious food. After eating and drinking, she asked Xiao Laifu to feed the chickens together. She wished she could take a few more days off.

Qin Yao left the Ding clan without returning to the village first. After thinking about it, she went directly to the county town.

Wang Jin said that there are many eyes and ears in the county recently, and Qin Yao felt it as soon as he entered the city.

Some sell straw sandals on the street, some sell vegetables at the city gate, and some follow the crowd and sell some gadgets that no one cares about.

It had been a long time since she had a meal at a restaurant. Qin Yao paid extra for the carriage and horse cleaning fee, drove the carriage into the city, parked at the back door of Shopkeeper Fan's restaurant, walked into the lobby, and ordered a few of the restaurant's signature dishes.

"Rare visitor!" Shopkeeper Fan came over as soon as he was free.

Qin Yao stood up and bowed, and invited him to sit down and have something to eat. Shopkeeper Fan waved his hand and pointed at the more and more guests in the lobby, "It's almost noon, and it's a busy time. I'll come over and have a few words with you." Just say a word and leave.”

With that said, he poured Qin Yao a cup of tea and asked her how it felt to be the village chief.

Qin Yao nodded, "Not bad."

While receiving the tea, she whispered a few words into Shopkeeper Fan's ear. Shopkeeper Fan opened his eyes wide and looked at her in surprise before nodding hesitantly.

"You wait." Patting Qin Yao's shoulder and indicating to her to eat first, shopkeeper Fan turned around and went to the back hall, called his trustworthy boy and sent him out.

When Qin Yao was almost finished eating, a donkey cart came to the back door of the restaurant. The cart was filled with meat and vegetables purchased by the restaurant.

The driver was wearing a bamboo hat and linen, looking like a farm man.

But if you observe carefully, you can find that this farm man has no muddy smell at all.

There was a knock at the back door, and the boy opened the door, lowered the threshold, and let in the donkey cart delivering food.

The donkey cart, which only contained meat and vegetables, was slightly heavy and slowly drove into the backyard.

Qin Yao's carriage is still parked in the courtyard. The black gold luxury carriage that was obtained from Wang Mawu is very recognizable.

"Just put the food by the kitchen door." The lobby was very busy. After explaining, the boy trotted away, leaving only the driver delivering food in the backyard.

The driver looked at the food on the cart and looked like he didn't know what to do.

"Bring your stuff to my car."

Qin Yao suddenly appeared, startling the coachman. Seeing that it was her, he hurriedly bowed with fists in his hands before taking action.

The meat and vegetables were quickly unloaded, revealing a large wooden box hidden underneath.

The driver used a lot of strength and it was very difficult to move it.

Qin Yao couldn't stand it anymore, so she stepped forward and offered a hand, and together they finally put the wooden box into the carriage.

Qin Yao tapped the lock on the wooden box with her fingertips and asked tentatively: "What is in here? It's actually locked."

What about trust between people?

Wang Jin said: Not at all!

The driver shook his head, "I don't know what it is, but I left first when the goods were delivered."

Nodding politely to Qin Yao, the driver turned around and got on the donkey cart and left.

There were footsteps coming from behind, and Qin Yao had to temporarily put away her curiosity, lock the carriage door, and return to the lobby.

"Have you eaten yet?" Shopkeeper Fan asked with a smile.

Qin Yao nodded, thanked him for his help, and gave him an extra five taels of silver when paying the bill.

Shopkeeper Fan was overjoyed, but he was not polite to her and accepted it.

"Next time, come over during your free time. Let's have a drink and catch up on old times." Shopkeeper Fan said enthusiastically.

Qin Yao agreed and drove away from the back door of the restaurant, all the way out of the county town, and returned to the village at noon.

She made an agreement with Wang Jin to set off early tomorrow morning. This trip would probably take about ten days. When Qin Yao got home, she put the heavy wooden box in the bedroom and began to make arrangements.

Luggage and other matters are secondary. The main issues are transportation of children to and from school and other matters in the village.

Qin Yao first went to the clan leader and informed him that he would be away for a few days.

"Going to Fucheng again?" The clan leader thought to himself, which village leader loves to travel far away so much?

Qin Yao came prepared and said seriously: "I went to Fucheng this time, actually, for our village."

The patriarch didn’t believe it: “For our village?”

"Yes, that's right, for all the villagers in Liujia Village!" Qin Yao took out the exquisite lady's box newly developed by the stationery factory's special team.

"The purpose of my trip to Fucheng this time is to successfully sell this lady's box and raise funds for the industrial upgrading of our village."

The patriarch was a little confused, "What?"

Qin Yao explained: "It's like this. If I can get the order for the lady's box when I go to Fucheng this time, I will let the whole village raise funds to invest in the stationery factory and promote a comprehensive upgrade of the entire stationery factory."

"From the original rough to the fine, abandon the low-cost and low-yield route and adopt the high-cost and high-yield high-precision route to create a core economic pillar exclusive to Liujiacun!"

Qin Yao concluded very seriously and solemnly: "At that time, people in our village will be able to get dividends just by sitting. Coupled with the output of the fields, we will be able to achieve a comprehensive well-off society in less than two years."

The patriarch knows the concept of being well-off.

Qin Yao once told them that they can have enough to eat, can wear clothes, and the children can go to school and no longer have to worry about the most basic survival.

However, they don’t dare to eat with open stomachs now. Will they really be able to do it in two years?

But seeing Qin Yao's determined look, the clan leader was willing to be fooled by her. What if his dream came true?

So he slapped his thigh and said, "Village chief, don't worry, I'm still in the village!"
