Greenhouse vegetables were so profitable that Mo Yan actually wanted to grow them. However, this year many people in the village intended to set up greenhouses. If they could successfully grow vegetables, the price would surely drop, and there wouldn't be much profit in growing them ourselves.
If they failed to produce vegetables, seeing our own fields lush and green would just invite resentment, wouldn't it? It's possible that out of jealousy, they might cause trouble or spread rumors, ostracizing our family.
Moreover, there were no fools in Liu Yang Village. If the same land and same greenhouses yielded vastly different results, it would be hard to guarantee that these people wouldn't become suspicious. If they found any clues, our family would be in danger. She wasn't about to take such a risk for a small profit.
