Lin Yiwei did not understand Lin Mingqing's plan. He thought that Lin Ming Qing was being kind and wanted to let the three of them go. He frowned and disagreed with this.

This matter was essentially attempted murder. However, that would mean bringing this to court. In this era, not everyone was willing to deal with the court. Unless the culprit was a serial killer, many villages preferred to deal with such incidents among themselves.
