Many people, including the village chief and Lin Dawei, were surprised by Lin Qi's decision. However, on second thought, the jinx had basically forced them to allow her to stay in Lin Family Village. Plus, she had whispered something to his ears.
Lin Qi had to compromise as a highly respected elder of the village. Therefore, when he said that he would punish these four people who had trespassed on Lin Yuelan's house to steal things, it was not so shocking.
However, the shocking thing was he handed them over to Lin Yuelan to decide the punishment. That was unlike Lin Qi. Normally, Lin Qi would handle the punishments so that he'd be able to display his dignity and reputation. However, unexpectedly, Lin Qi allowed Lin Yuelan to decide the punishment this time.
The villagers were confused.
Although they didn't agree with her, they had nothing to say because that was what Lin Qi said.
