The Meal Was Served Right to Them, Yet They Still Wouldn't Eat! No Wonder They Were Poor!

Xiazai Village.

Guo Guan and his son, Guo Tan, quickly summoned all the people who ran things in the village to their home, and the place soon grew noisy.

When Guo Guan saw that nearly everyone had arrived, he said, "You all probably know that Qinglin Laboratory has been test-growing watermelons on a plot of land in our village. Now they're about to come here and plant them on a large scale. They may want to rent everyone's land."

The others nodded and began talking among themselves.

"I saw some cars coming into the village. They seemed to be heading for that watermelon field."

"They want to rent our land? That's great! My fields have been sitting empty, and I haven't known what to do with them."

"Village chief, when are they coming to rent the land? My son needs a bride price, and we're short on money."

"..."

The villagers were clearly enthusiastic about this.

Guo Guan went on, "They should be coming in the next few days. But they'll definitely have to sign contracts with us to rent the land, and we can't just accept whatever price they offer. We should agree on what to say and raise the price a little."

The others understood what he meant.

They were going to drive up the price.

Of course, even if they understood, no one dared say that outright. Each had their own little plans.

But some people were worried.

"Wouldn't that be a bad idea? We might end up driving them away."

"I'm worried they'll decide not to come after all. Then we won't earn anything."

"The land's just sitting empty anyway. I'll take whatever they offer. My son's bride price is only a little short."

"..."

Those comments made the others hesitate. They were clearly worried too.
