Chapter 1045: Reclaiming the Bizarre Train of Thought (2)
Mo Yan glanced over and then averted her gaze. She felt somewhat thirsty, but as she picked up the teacup, she put it down again, increasingly unable to stomach the smell in the room.
Without a word from Mo Yan, Zhao Dafu and his four sons did not dare to speak rashly, standing silently to one side, their hearts filled with extreme annoyance towards the three people kneeling on the ground.
They recognized all three individuals as they were among the fifty tenant households in Chen Family Village, the most violent agitators against the relinquishing of their lease. Not only had they caused a commotion, but they had also incited others, and if not for the village leader’s nephew Chen Xue keeping things in check, these three might have instigated others to join them in a fight.
Zhao Dasha was restless, looking around from one person to the next, no longer interested in his favorite pastries, furrowing his brow, and his face displaying a childlike perplexity.
Though Zhao Dasha was not the sharpest, he wasn’t to the point of complete ignorance; his sense was similar to that of a five or six-year-old child, unaware of the ways of the world, unable to distinguish right from wrong, simply believing anything said to him. When asked, he could give an answer if he knew it, or else just shake his head honestly if he did not.
Noticing that his gaze frequently fell upon the young man kneeling in the center, his face filled with anxiety, Mo Yan pointed to the man and asked, "Who is he to you?"
Zhao Dasha sneaked a glance at the young man, then hurriedly looked away, shaking his head vigorously, "Can’t tell, cousin won’t let me say," he said, and after a fearful glance at the young man, he refused to speak further.
Mo Yan quickly figured out that the young man must be Zhao Dasha’s cousin through marriage. However, someone who could scheme against even his own blood-related cousin clearly did not have good intentions.
