Chairmain Mao specifically accounted for good landlords. If you were a good landlord, your former tenants simply wouldn't shoot you in the head!
In all seriousness, total land reform wasn't what the cpc originally wanted. They sought moderate reforms in line with China developing capitalist productive forces. They sought to remove only abusive, reactionary landlords, but this meant peasants could only get land reform by accusing their landlords of being abusive reactionaries. The communist intelligentsia was unable to stifle the revolutionary peasant movement, and land reform took place at their pace.
Somehow I doubt they peasants had to lie about that very often, lol.
