Chapter 1049: Arranging for Yanyan to Die (2)
The two chatted about the greenhouse for a few more sentences before Yang Bao took the hint and excused himself.
Mo Yan called Tang Xin over and directly handed her the list, asking her to go through it and pick out any uncertain households for her own review.
Tang Xin took the list back to her room and quickly identified the questionable households. She took advantage of lunchtime to analyze them with Mo Yan:
"...Not to mention that the Wang Family regards us as enemies, but they’re lazy and good for nothing, none of them reliable. Having them join in, who knows how many problems will arise, and the Gou, Shi, and Niu families are all rascals who don’t want to pay or put in effort. There’s no such thing as a free lunch. However, there are a few households that only have elderly and children. They don’t have much money and can’t contribute much labor, but they are decent people. I think we can let them join in the planting and just give them a smaller share later on..."
Mo Yan listened to Tang Xin’s analysis while eating, nodding continuously as she made sensible points. After she finished, he casually asked, "Only these families? Are there no others?"
A look of embarrassment flashed across Tang Xin’s face, and after hesitating for a moment, she couldn’t help but speak out, "My father... his name is also there, but they don’t want to spend any money."
Mo Yan paused and, with a reduced smile, asked, "What do you feel about that?"
Upon hearing the question, Tang Xin’s face showed a moment of conflict, but in the end, she bit her lip and said nothing.
