The patrols and guards would be made up of mostly young and strong people. However, the whole village would be watching. Once the person under surveillance acted out of the ordinary, the guards would immediately report it to the village chief.

The patrols would work in shifts. In short, there would be people watching 24 hours per day. And there would be more than three guards always. This was to ensure the personal safety of the guards.

Therefore, it was impossible for Lin Laosan and his two sons to escape!

Lin Yiwei gave them three days to think about this.

“What’s there to think about? He’ll go to prison!” Lin Daniu pointed his finger at Lin Erniu and said arrogantly, “my son is going to be a scholar in the future. If I am arrested, it’ll tarnish his reputation!”

Lin Daniu’s potential scholar son was indeed a very powerful argument. For the sake of glory, the villagers most likely wouldn’t send Lin Daniu to prison.

Therefore, the choice was only between Lin Laosan and Lin Erniu. Many people believed that Lin Erniu would be the sacrificial lamb.

Lin Daniu continued in a disdainful tone, “As for him, he only has three useless daughters. There’s nothing for him at home. Second brother, don’t worry. When you’re in prison, I’ll definitely take good care of my three nieces. ”

Lin Erniu did not have a son, so he was at a complete disadvantage.

Furthermore, in the hearts of Lin Laosan and his wife, he was not as important as Lin Daniu. Without a doubt, Lin Laosan would agree with Lin Daniu.

After hearing Lin Daniu’s words, Lin Erniu was shocked and scared, and he was filled with resentment and hatred.

If he could, he wanted to punch his big brother’s face. But he couldn’t!

He couldn’t persuade them to try to send Lin Laosan to prison because that would be highly unfilial. It would only make his sentence worse.

He had to think if he had a way to get himself out of this. However, he couldn’t think of anything.

After hearing Lin Daniu’s words, Lin Laosan frowned and pondered for a moment. Then he said, “then …” We’ll send Erniu to prison.

However, someone barged in before he could finish his sentence. She knelt down to Lin Laosan and said, “father, you can’t do this. If Erniu goes to prison, what about me? What about my three girls? Are you going to let me become a widow and take their father away from your three granddaughters?”

This person was Zhou Guixiang.

Zhou Guixiang was also a smart person. She came with Lin Erniu. However, when she saw Jiang Zhennan and Lin Mingliang’s aggressive appearances, she had a bad feeling. Therefore, she did not enter the courtyard rashly but stood in the corner and listened.

However, the more she looked, the more shocked she was. At the end, when Lin Yiwei asked them to make a choice, her heart was even more panicked.

That was because she knew very well that Lin Erniu was most likely the one to be sacrificed.

When she saw that Lin Laosan was about to give up on Lin Erniu, she rushed in and knelt down in front of Lin Laosan.

Lin Laosan looked at his second daughter-in-law, who ran in, kneeling and crying. The veins on his forehead jumped, then he immediately shouted at Zhou Guixiang sternly, “second daughter-in-law, what are you saying? How would you become a widow? Do you think Erniu will not exit the prison eventually? After he comes out, you two will still be a loving couple. Plus, when have I ever mistreated my grandchildren? Also, if they miss father, they can visit their father in prison.”

What was his second-in-law up to? If Lin Erniu didn’t go to prison, who would?

Zhou Guixiang’s face turned pale. “Father, Erniu will be sentenced to at least ten years in prison. Erniu is still so young, and he can work and support the family. It’ll be a waste if he’s trapped behind bars for the next ten years.”
