Chapter 326: Chapter 304: Legal Aid
âThis matter was clearly caused by my little brother, why do you always blame me!â
âYes, Iâm just a worthless daughter! Iâm 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, Iâve paid you back over the years!â
âWhen you bought me back then, wasnât it just to make me work for you? From childhood to now, which task wasnât done by me? I donât owe you anything; I wonât pay for this fine, I have no money! At worst, Iâll never return to this home!â
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.
âYou dead girl, tramp! Donât think that just because youâre married, you can spread your wings. If you donât come back, Iâll break your legs tomorrow! Iâve raised you all these years, how dare you not give me moneyâŠâ
The explosive threats nearly broke the phoneâs 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 didnât 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.
âSorry, I didnât bring any tissues.â
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 Xizhiâs gaze directed forward, not at her.
Moreover, Ji Xizhiâs 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.
âA maskâŠ?â
Seeing Sun Qianqianâs tears stop, Ji Xizhi then turned to look at her and said, âThatâs all I have in my pocket, itâs clean and unusedâŠâ
Sun Qianqianâs eyes turned red as she accepted the mask, âThank you.â
Ji Xizhi shook her head and continued asking, âAre you Sun Qianqian?â
Sun Qianqian: âHow do you know?â
Ji Xizhi: âI guessed.â
Since this morning, whether at Li Songlingâs home or the stall vendors, no one wasnât discussing the matter of Old Sunâs family.
Old Sunâs 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 Sunâs fish were randomly tested, leading to village discussions.
Ji Xizhi listened to the gossip about Sun Qianqian all day, understanding the general situation.
Itâs simply that Sun Qianqian was adopted by Old Sunâs family, and they had a son but couldnât 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 Sunâs family.
Even now, when Old Sunâs family has issues, Sun Qianqian is the one who helps.
The village gossipers disapprove of Old Sunâs behavior, but since itâs 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 Qianqianâs call, she clearly heard the word âbuy.â
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 Xizhiâs beautiful and flawless face, hesitantly asking, âAre you the star filming a show in the village?â
Ji Xizhi nodded.
Sun Qianqian instantly became nervous, her face turning completely red.
Ji Xizhi proactively introduced herself, âMy name is Ji Xizhi, Iâve been accepted as a law school graduate student at Qing University this year, and I know some lawyer friends.â
Ji Xizhi rarely introduces herself like this, but this time she deliberately emphasized it.
âIf you need legal assistance, you can find me at the program groupâs cottage in Xianyu Village.â
Ji Xizhi didnât directly ask about Sun Qianqianâs situation, just said these two sentences, and then didnât say more.
Sun Qianqian: âLawyerâŠ?â
She stared blankly at Ji Xizhi, as if she hadnât reacted yet.

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