Chapter 366: The Punishment for Lin Laosan’s Family

Translator: Lonelytree 

Lin An’s departure meant that he didn’t want to be involved in the punishment of Lin Laosan’s family. He was leaving everything to Lin Yiwei’s family.

Lin Laosan’s family’s faces were ashen as they watched Lin An leave. The panics and fears on their faces were evident.

Lin Yiwei looked at Lin Laosan with a serious expression and said sternly, “In order to show a warning to others, Lin Sandao, your family has to be punished. Three years ago, because of your own selfishness, you secretly plotted and harmed my son, causing him to be paralyzed in bed for three years. Whether it’s for public or private reasons, the three of you should be severely punished. However,” He paused for a moment and looked at the three criminals. Lin Yiwei was kind, but he was not a saint. Lin Laosan and his sons had brought endless pain and despair to his family. Therefore, he was angry and resentful towards them. He wanted to take revenge.

However, the biggest revenge he wanted for them was not as simple as kneeling in the ancestral hall and being punished with a few beatings. Instead, they would be handed over to the authorities and imprisoned.

Lin Yiwei was still the chief of the Lin family Village. If he directly handed them over to the authorities, it would definitely cause the villagers to be dissatisfied. The villagers would think that he disregarded the village’s reputation for the sake of taking revenge. He abused his power to take revenge on Lin Laosan’s family.

It didn’t matter if it was true or not. The villagers would start gossiping. They wouldn’t care what kind of crimes Lin Laosan’s family had completed, or how much pain and despair Lin Yiwei’s family had suffered in the past three years. They would see Lin Yiwei as abusing his power.

However, everything was settled now. Lin Yuelan and his Qing ‘Er had convinced the villagers to agree to send Lin Laosan’s family to court.

Why?

It was because this involved the villager’s self-interest and safety.

What if Lin Laosan’s family decided to plot murders against other villagers? Therefore, instead of leaving them in the village, it was better the remove the ticking time bomb.

Such was human nature. When it didn’t involve their own problems and interests, they would stand aside and watch. They would even stand on the moral high ground to judge others. They would coerce the victims to forgive the perpetrators. They wouldn’t consider how innocent the victim was or how much pain and despair the victim had suffered.

However, when people realized they might become victims themselves, their perspective changed. It was unacceptable. The perpetrator had to be punished.

Lin Yuelan used a few words to change everyone’s perspective. Lin Yiwei could now send Lin Laosan’s family to court. This was exactly what he wanted.

Lin Yiwei glanced at Lin Yuelan and was amazed by her intelligence. She was so young.

However, the extreme wisdom would definitely hurt her, and this made him a little worried.

However, when he saw the tall and strong man standing next to her, he was a little relieved.

Lin Yiwei’s tone changed as he continued, “however, my son is kind and can’t bear to have your family suffer the loss of three members. Therefore, only one of you will be taken to court. The other two will kneel in the ancestral hall for three days, receive thirty canings, and be under the supervision of all the villagers!”

Someone had to go to prison. However, two of them would be given lesser punishment.

This sounded like a merciful arrangement but…

“Second brother, you were the one who came up with this idea, and you were the one who started this. You’re the main culprit,” Lin Daniu immediately shirked the responsibility.
