Xia Chujian explained, and Xia Yuanfang finally understood, "So, if a person is killed by a bounty hunter, as long as the family doesn't pursue it, the court can ignore it?"
Xia Chujian nodded emphatically, "That's exactly it!"
Xia Yuanfang thought, she was familiar with this point. Wasn't it the so-called "If the people do not sue, the government will not investigate"?
After understanding this, she didn't have such an instinctive rejection of the bounty hunter profession.
Xia Yuanfang didn't continue to ask. Just then, the doorbell rang, and she quickly said, "Is that Aunt Chen?"
Xia Chujian went to the living room and looked at the video surveillance system at the door. It was indeed Aunt Chen.
She was carrying a large storage bag, probably containing about ten pounds of Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat.
This gift was really too much...
Xia Chujian quickly opened the door and asked, "Did you come up by elevator? Or did you climb the stairs?"
Aunt Chen lived on the first floor, while her home was on the eleventh floor.
If she climbed the stairs while carrying ten pounds of Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat, that would be too amazing.
Aunt Chen smiled and said, "...That person doesn't allow us to use the elevator..."
"Hey, I don't know whose family is so overbearing, occupying the entire elevator just to renovate their house." Xia Chujian muttered, not having a good impression of the neighbors across the hall.
She took the Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat from Aunt Chen and said, "Come in and sit for a while, you just climbed eleven floors."
Aunt Chen shook her head, "No, I have to go back quickly. Yingying's father is making trouble again. I'll go see Yingying in a while. What do you want to bring?"
The meaning of "making trouble" was probably hitting someone again.
In the past, Xia Chujian felt that this kind of domestic violence should be stopped.
Now that she knew that Aunt Chen and Zhu Yingying were both Humanoids, she still thought it should be stopped.
But Aunt Chen and Zhu Yingying did have concerns, and they didn't even dare to find the Punishment Department for mediation.
Xia Chujian didn't say anything, put the Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat in the house, and took the cloth bag she had just packed for Aunt Chen, saying, "Please give these things to San Zong. —I'll take you to the elevator."
She and Aunt Chen entered the elevator together and went all the way down.
When they got out of the elevator, the man guarding the elevator was about to get angry, but when he saw that it was Xia Chujian bringing down a middle-aged woman, he immediately smiled obsequiously and said, "You're taking the elevator?"
Xia Chujian watched Aunt Chen leave, ignoring the man, and then took the elevator back up, not caring if the man was cursing her in his heart.
Back in her own home, Xia Chujian went to the kitchen and said to Xia Yuanfang, "Aunt, Zhu's family's man is beating Aunt Chen again. Are those mother and daughter going to endure it for the rest of their lives?"
Xia Yuanfang was silent for a while before saying, "You know, her family's situation is special, they can't call the police."
Xia Chujian nodded, "Then we can't indulge him. If they can't call the police, can't we beat him up? What a waste of the tiger stripes on Aunt Chen's face."
Xia Yuanfang: "..."
This rascal was getting more and more of a rascal.
Xia Yuanfang didn't want to continue this topic, so she had to tell her, "Yingying's matter is also a lesson for you. You have to be more careful in school and don't let anyone bully you. I haven't been to your high school yet, and you're about to graduate..."
Xia Chujian smiled and hugged Xia Yuanfang's arm, "Aunt, I'm not a weak girl like Yingying who has no strength to truss a chicken. I'm a Dark Night Hunter's sniper! —Whoever dares to bully me, I'll send him to be reincarnated!"
Xia Yuanfang: "..."
This child was getting even more worrying!
"Alright, alright, you still want to snipe enemies in school?" Xia Yuanfang gently tapped her straight nose, "I'm going to cook, what do you want to eat tonight?"
Xia Chujian's eyes lit up, and she quickly said, "I want to eat those big meatballs, will Aunt make them?"
"What big meatballs?"
"It's the kind that Aunt used to make?" Xia Chujian tried hard to think for a while before remembering the name, "It's Lion's Head!"
"...Oh, you mean Lion's Head..." Xia Yuanfang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but she still nodded in agreement, "I'll use that Wild Pig meat that Aunt Chen sent."
"It's Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat. This kind of pork is a specialty of the Land of the Far North in the Exotic Beast Forest. It grows up eating Black Truffle, and it tastes especially good." Xia Chujian took the bag of frozen Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat to thaw.
She quietly said to Xia Yuanfang, "Aunt, actually, when we went to the Exotic Beast Forest to find the Blood Kirin, we also harvested two Black Truffle Wild Rhino Pigs. We froze the meat and brought it back. It's just stored outside the city at San Zong's place... In a few days, I'll take another trip with Aunt Chen and bring back some of the good things I have stored there!"
Xia Chujian chatted while helping Xia Yuanfang in the kitchen.
Xia Yuanfang was putting away the Wild Rhinoceros Pig meat and discovered that the texture of the meat was delicate, the lean meat not dry, and the fatty meat not greasy. She praised it endlessly, saying, "This kind of meat is first-class for making Red Braised Pork!"
Xia Chujian: "...I want to eat Red Braised Pork!"
"Next time, you said you wanted to eat Lion's Head, so Auntie will make Lion's Head for you," Xia Yuanfang said jokingly.
Xia Chujian knew Xia Yuanfang was teasing her and wasn't angry. She laughed along for a while, then started making conversation again.
"Auntie, today is the Grand Prince's funeral. Did you watch the live broadcast?"
"I did. How could I not?" Xia Yuanfang said helplessly, "Even places like the library had three-dimensional holographic projections of the live broadcast."
"We watched it too, in the classroom. The school required it."
Xia Yuanfang concentrated on using the mixer to make the Black Rhino Pig meat filling, showing no intention of continuing the topic.
Xia Chujian didn't mind. She helped Xia Yuanfang wash the green vegetables she brought back today, chatting idly, "Auntie, I heard that the Grand Prince was sick for many years and in poor health. Is that true?"
Xia Yuanfang paused, took the meat filling out of the mixer, and said softly, "What do the Royal Family's affairs have to do with us? Have you done your homework? Are you ready for the exams? Which university do you want to go to?"
Xia Chujian immediately made a bitter face, "Auntie, why do you have to bring up what I don't want to talk about?"
"This is what you should be concerned about. As for what happened to the Grand Prince, it has nothing to do with us," Xia Yuanfang said without hesitation.
Xia Chujian washed her hands and said listlessly, "I'm going back to my room to do homework."
"Okay, I'll call you when dinner is ready."
Xia Chujian returned to her room and struggled with her homework for an hour.
At this moment, her Quantum Optical Brain chimed with a message.
Xia Chujian looked and saw it was from Zhu Yingying.
[Yingying]: Chujian, my mom brought me a Smart Bracelet. We can use this to contact each other from now on.
[Yingying]: Chujian, I'm so scared! I just remembered, that Fen Tai Ni, she seemed to have taken pictures of me!
Xia Chujian: ...
Not only took pictures, that Fen Tai Ni even took short videos with her Quantum Optical Brain! Xia Chujian snorted softly. People who do this kind of thing should go to hell!
My darlings, see you tomorrow!
