Chapter 326: Chapter 304: Legal Aid

“This matter was clearly caused by my little brother, why do you always blame me!”

“Yes, I’m just a worthless daughter! I’m not filial to you, but what have you given me all these years? Everything in the family belongs to my little brother, what about me, what have I received! Even if I had anything, I’ve paid you back over the years!”

“When you bought me back then, wasn’t it just to make me work for you? From childhood to now, which task wasn’t done by me? I don’t owe you anything; I won’t pay for this fine, I have no money! At worst, I’ll never return to this home!”

This cry carried a heavy, oppressive feeling, groaning out from the throat as if using up all strength.

Ji Xizhi listened to the crying, and walked deeper into a small alley not far from the seaside.

At the old alley entrance, in a secluded spot, a young girl about the same age as Ji Xizhi was squatting.

The girl was half-squatting, with a suitcase beside her, looking like she had just returned.

She had just shouted the last sentence across the alley.

On the other end of the phone, curses burst out so loudly that even Ji Xizhi walking by could hear them.

“You dead girl, tramp! Don’t think that just because you’re married, you can spread your wings. If you don’t come back, I’ll break your legs tomorrow! I’ve raised you all these years, how dare you not give me money…”

The explosive threats nearly broke the phone’s receiver.

Sun Qianqian pressed down hard on her crying voice. Seeing Ji Xizhi walking towards the alley entrance, she hurriedly wiped her tears and buried her head into her chest, reaching out to press the hang-up button on her old phone, her feet moving sideways like a crab.

Sun Qianqian regarded Ji Xizhi as a stranger passing by and moved aside to give way.

However, Ji Xizhi didn’t walk into the alley as Sun Qianqian expected; she stopped in front of Sun Qianqian without speaking, just squatting down beside her.

Ji Xizhi squatted side by side with Sun Qianqian, not looking at her, as she rummaged through her pocket and took out something.

“Sorry, I didn’t bring any tissues.”

Sun Qianqian, amidst her emotional fluctuations, saw Ji Xizhi squatting beside her, feeling a bit nervous and embarrassed.

But upon raising her head, she found Ji Xizhi’s gaze directed forward, not at her.

Moreover, Ji Xizhi’s profile was so beautifully illuminated by the lingering sunset that Sun Qianqian forgot to cry.

Sun Qianqian stared at the rectangular thing Ji Xizhi handed over, stunned for a moment, then broke into a smile.

“A mask…?”

Seeing Sun Qianqian’s tears stop, Ji Xizhi then turned to look at her and said, “That’s all I have in my pocket, it’s clean and unused…”

Sun Qianqian’s eyes turned red as she accepted the mask, “Thank you.”

Ji Xizhi shook her head and continued asking, “Are you Sun Qianqian?”

Sun Qianqian: “How do you know?”

Ji Xizhi: “I guessed.”

Since this morning, whether at Li Songling’s home or the stall vendors, no one wasn’t discussing the matter of Old Sun’s family.

Old Sun’s family is wealthy in several nearby villages, and everyone loves their melons.

Plus, last night, there was some conflict between Ji Xizhi and Sun Chong, and in the morning, Old Sun’s fish were randomly tested, leading to village discussions.

Ji Xizhi listened to the gossip about Sun Qianqian all day, understanding the general situation.

It’s simply that Sun Qianqian was adopted by Old Sun’s family, and they had a son but couldn’t bear to let him work, so they adopted a daughter to help with chores and manage the household.

Since childhood, Sun Qianqian has been out to sea and doing all sorts of work. After graduating from junior high, she went out to work, earning money for the family, and later, even her wedding dowry was kept by Old Sun’s family.

Even now, when Old Sun’s family has issues, Sun Qianqian is the one who helps.

The village gossipers disapprove of Old Sun’s behavior, but since it’s not their own affair, they just talk about it.

Ji Xizhi inevitably heard some things.

Initially, she thought it was just a typical gender discrimination issue, but from Sun Qianqian’s call, she clearly heard the word “buy.”

A transaction involving buying children already crosses legal boundaries.

Ji Xizhi briefly caught in her memory a glimpse of her own past, realizing how similar Sun Qianqian was to her former self.

Ji Xizhi furrowed her brows fiercely, then quickly relaxed them.

From the recent incident concerning Ji Yezong, Qi Zheng should soon have news.

Ji Xizhi decided not to dwell on it further.

Sun Qianqian, upon hearing Ji Xizhi say it was a guess, immediately responded, staring at Ji Xizhi’s beautiful and flawless face, hesitantly asking, “Are you the star filming a show in the village?”

Ji Xizhi nodded.

Sun Qianqian instantly became nervous, her face turning completely red.

Ji Xizhi proactively introduced herself, “My name is Ji Xizhi, I’ve been accepted as a law school graduate student at Qing University this year, and I know some lawyer friends.”

Ji Xizhi rarely introduces herself like this, but this time she deliberately emphasized it.

“If you need legal assistance, you can find me at the program group’s cottage in Xianyu Village.”

Ji Xizhi didn’t directly ask about Sun Qianqian’s situation, just said these two sentences, and then didn’t say more.

Sun Qianqian: “Lawyer…?”

She stared blankly at Ji Xizhi, as if she hadn’t reacted yet. Official source is novel※fire.net

Ji Xizhi: “Buying children is illegal and also constitutes the crime of purchasing abducted children, which can lead to a prison sentence.”
