The second section of the family also started to hire people to build the house.
Originally, they were thinking of borrowing some materials such as bricks, stones, and gravel from the first section of the family, but Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan had long been on guard against them. The purchase of these things was contracted to the foreman who built the house, and the foreman was responsible for the purchase.
All Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan did was to examine the quality and sign, confirming the source of the material on each paper.
The foreman would gain some profits from it too.
Most people in this era were quite practical. They took money and worked hard. Also, they barely had a chance to fabricate anything.
For example, the number of black bricks bought could not be fabricated.
They used solid woods, not composite lumber.
