Chapter 1048: Arranging Yanyan’s Downfall (1)
Yang Bao came to look for Mo Yan about the greenhouse vegetable matter.
Last year, thirty-five households that had worked with the Mo Family on greenhouse vegetables nearly all moved into spacious and bright brick houses this year. The transformation from thatched huts to brick houses took just one winter, and this tangible benefit, more than carloads of vegetables being shipped out, struck the villagers who hadn’t joined the planting even harder.
Having completely missed an opportunity to get rich, they were beating their chests and stomping their feet in regret, wishing time would rewind so they could even gamble by smashing pots and selling iron if necessary.
Later, when the greenhouses were dismantled, and the villagers were farming the land, they were hoping that the village would set up greenhouses again this year. They said that they would join in no matter what, even if they incurred losses, they wouldn’t blame anyone since the rewards were too bountiful and no one could resist the temptation of getting rich overnight in a winter.
Not long ago, even before the autumn harvest began, people continuously visited Yang Bao to ask whether they would continue with the greenhouses this year. After receiving a positive response, they begged to join on the spot, saying that money and effort were not issues.
Yang Bao only knew that Mo Yan would still work on the greenhouses this year, but he wasn’t sure if she was willing to allow other villagers to join, so he didn’t dare to promise anything hastily. Once he had managed to wait for Mo Yan to return, he tallied up the households that wanted to participate in planting and then went to seek her opinion.
"Uncle Yang, I’ll have Tang Xin come up with a plan for the greenhouse vegetables," Mo Yan said. "She will coordinate with you on how to arrange things. If everyone agrees, we’ll follow the established plan." Mo Yan had anticipated that this year there would be many more households participating in greenhouse planting than last year, so she wasn’t surprised when she heard that many wanted to join.
