Jiang Xiubai originally made an appointment with the other party to meet at 2:30 in the afternoon, but in the second half, Song Ci drove the car, so the two of them arrived at the place at 2 o'clock.
Song Ci also looked innocent after knowing the agreed time. You didn't tell me anything. How do I know what time you want to arrive?
But isn’t it right to arrive early when you go out to discuss things? It's better than being late.
Jiang Xiu and Bai went to each other's house and found that there was no one at home at this time, so they had no choice but to walk around for a while.
This is a rural area on the outskirts of the city. Although the village looks small and there are not many people, the scenery here is quite good and the environment is very good.
Song Ci breathed the fresh air here, and she felt it was sweeter than the air in the city.
After more than ten minutes, Song Ci noticed two women walking down the foot of the mountain. One was younger, carrying a basket of things, and the other, who looked older, was following behind her.
Song Ci looked back at Jiang Xiubai with a puzzled face. Are these two people their clients?
But looking at their clothes, they looked like ordinary rural people. They could afford Jiang Xiubai's high legal fees.
Of course, it's not that Song Ci looks down on people without money, she's just a little weird.
However, Jiang Xiubai didn't look like he wanted to answer her questions. When the two of them walked nearby, he said directly, "Hello, I am the lawyer Jiang you have contacted."
"This is my assistant, her name is Song Ci."
The girl opposite was a little scared when she saw the two people standing here looking at her, but this was the only way for her to go home, and she couldn't avoid it.
So I thought of walking close to him, but I didn't expect to hear Jiang Xiubai suddenly speak.
She remembered this voice. When she contacted lawyer Guo Jiang on the phone, the other party's tone was indeed similar to this, which made people feel safe.
But she didn't expect that the other person would be so handsome. She felt that the other person was as dazzling as the sun.
The beauties around him were also so beautiful, and seemed out of place with him. Standing with them seemed like he was going to tarnish their beauty.
At this moment, she flinched a little, and suddenly she didn't want to ask Jiang Xiubai for help.
Song Ci saw her embarrassment, so she said, "Little girl, we come from such a far away place, can you invite us to your house for a drink of water?"
"And we introduced you to our names, and you haven't said what yours is yet."
"Let's go inside and talk slowly, okay?"
The girl suddenly felt a little embarrassed when she heard what Song Ci said. It was her fault.
People came all the way to help her, but she didn't even let them come in to sit for a while. Then she quickly said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault."
"My name is Cuicui, and this is my aunt. You can call her Aunt Yun."
"You two come in quickly. There is no good tea for you at home, but there is still spring water."
"The spring water here is brought down from the top of the mountain, and it is very sweet."
After a few people entered, Song Ci could see the furnishings here more clearly.
It looks like a pretty good house from the outside. The furnishings there are very simple and there are very few things.
It's just that the little girl's aunt Yun Gu always stares at them from time to time, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.
Song Ci soon discovered the problem. When her aunt looked at people, her eyes seemed to have no focus, as if she was looking at others through them.
After Cuicui boiled the water, she came over with a pot of water. Although the home was a bit simple, it was still quite warmly decorated.
Song Ci didn't have the habit of drinking hot water, but someone specially boiled water for them and brought it herself, so she politely accepted the water cup.
It's better this time. There used to be some noise from indoors, but now it's so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Song Ci turned around and looked at Jiang Xiubai and Cuicui. The two of them had no intention of speaking. Jiang Xiubai brought her here to act as his mouthpiece.
The key is that she doesn't know anything about girls and doesn't know what to ask. What if she asks the wrong question and hurts someone when she steps on her, how embarrassing it would be.
Song Ci had no choice but to talk to Cuicui about her parents to ease the awkward atmosphere.
"Cui Cui, there are only two of you at home, no one else is seen."
"There are very few people living in your village. Lawyer Jiang and I just walked around the village and didn't see anyone."
Cuicui's head dropped after hearing this. "There are actually quite a lot of people in our village. Every household you see is occupied by someone."
"It's just a matter of time. Because it's hotter now, and the crops in the fields don't need that long of care."
"So they usually go to the fields after three o'clock. When you come, the cats are resting at home."
When Song Ci heard this, she realized that this was the case. She thought these farmers were very busy every day.
It turns out that the weather is too hot. If you don’t want to go, you can hide at home, which seems quite happy.
But for another question, the other person didn't seem to want to answer. It seemed that her family's affairs were related to her family members.
When Song Ci was thinking about how to continue asking, the other party continued, "My aunt and I are the only ones left at home now, and I have a younger brother. He is in junior high school and a boarding school in the city, and rarely goes home."
"My grandparents are old and have left long ago."
"While my parents were out with people from the village, the car they were sitting in was involved in a car accident, and everyone in the car was gone."
"You should be able to see that my aunt is not in the right state. In fact, she has a mental illness."
"I don't worry about her when I go out. She's at home by herself. I'm afraid she's hurting others."
"And with my aunt here, I feel safer."
Song Ci didn't expect that his family would be so miserable. There were only three people left, and one of them was disabled. Mental illness was considered a type of disability.
It is not easy for a student who is not yet an adult to take care of the whole family by herself.
Song Ci looked at the girl's thin back. How did she support this family? Going to boarding school in the city is definitely not cheap.
Thinking of this, Song Ci wants to help this family. Although she is not as rich as before, she can still help this family a little.
So Song Ci asked about her brother's tuition again.
Cuicui did not hide it, "My younger brother does very well in school. He is the first in grade every year. The school exempts him from tuition fees, miscellaneous fees and other things."
"He only needs to pay a certain amount for accommodation and food for himself."
"He will also participate in some competitions and get some scholarships."
