The Bai Family were not ones to pry into other's business, let alone take unfair advantage of the Lin Family. While the two families had a good neighborly relationship, after all, there was a line; both families simply lived their own separate lives.
They had come to caution the Lin Family, since the village was abuzz with rumors recently, especially from the Yan Family, who had been avidly sabotaging the reputation of the Lin Family.
In a rural village, reputation was among the most important things. If a family's reputation was tarnished, their relationship with the rest of the village was as good as over. In future, if they were to encounter any troubles, the villagers would be unlikely to lend a helping hand.
