Chapter 1049: 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.

Mo Yan sighed internally and put down his chopsticks to ask seriously, "If the Tang Family had no relation to you, would you allow them to participate or not?"

Tang Xin silently shook her head; she did not want them to. In her view, people who could sell their own daughter didn’t deserve a good life. Yet, she could be indifferent to the rest of the Tang Family, but that man was her biological father. Even if he had done abhorrent things to her, seeing him struggling in poverty, barely in his thirties yet looking like a man in his forties or fifties, instead of feeling happy, she felt a discomfort in her heart.

The days of the Tang Family were indeed hard. Mrs. Yu had borrowed money and offended the Trafficker. In the end, despite using the money from selling Tang Xin to pay the debts and give apologies, it was still not enough, and they lost the last of their savings.

Tang Zhutou was a cowardly and timorous man. After being swindled twice while working in the city during the off-season, he refused to go again. The family was barely getting by on a few acres of barren land with poor yields. Otherwise, they would not have come to Tang Xin shamelessly asking for Silver and even taking a piece of cloth under the pretext of sustaining the only lineage of the Tang Family, Tang Bao.

Seeing the expression on Tang Xin’s face, Mo Yan knew what she was thinking and decisively said, "Exclude the Tang Family!"

None of the Tang Family members were good. Although Tang Zhutou was indeed Tang Xin’s biological father, precisely because of that, she found it even more repulsive!

A man who could have protected his own daughter, but because of his selfish desires, allowed her to be sold to a despicable place, did not deserve the title of father. He was even more detestable than those who commit countless evils. At least those evildoers, if they did something harmful to Tang Xin, she would hate them, despair, but not feel heartbroken.

But Tang Zhutou managed to do all of that!

Tang Xin couldn’t bear to see the Tang Family in such dire straits, yet resentment in her heart also made it difficult to let them join. She understood this conflicted feeling well, but she had no relationship with the Tang Family and felt no sympathy for such people.

Although her actions were intended to amass good deeds, she would rather earn less merit than allow just anyone to benefit. The Tang Family wants to get rich and improve their lot? They should first start by being decent human beings!
