Lin Laosan's pupils shrank when he heard Zhou Guixiang's words. Then, he asked sternly, "Erniu's wife, what do you mean by this?"
She was very good. She meant that Erniu's youth shouldn't be wasted in prison. On the other hand, Lin Laosan was old and didn't have many years to live. He couldn't work as well as Erniu, so he should sacrifice himself.
However, everyone knew that Lin Laosan wouldn't go to prison. He was the head of the family!
Lin Laosan was the reason that the family was still together. If something happened to him, the family would likely suffer all kinds of disputes, and their family would be broken up. Lin Laosan was the backbone of the family. Without him, their family would be completely broken.

Therefore, Lin Laosan couldn't go to prison.
Therefore, the best candidate was Lin Erniu.
