Lin Ruhai knew perfectly well what Grandmother Jia was thinking: "Grandmother, one should not refrain from doing good because it is small, nor should one do evil because it is small."
"Great evil is evil, and small evil is also evil. You may think that what you do is just insignificant, but when they are added together, they become great evil."
"You spoiled Baoyu and tarnished my Yu'er's reputation. You think it's just a small evil of yours, but what about Yu'er? What about the world? One wrong move and Yu'er's life is at stake. That's a great evil!"
