"The earliest modern lawyers were born in the concessions.... With the Qing court's efforts to realize the need for legal reform, the court's legal institutions revised the "Great Qing Criminal and Civil Procedure Law," affirming the lawyer system in the judicial field.... The subsequent promulgation of the "Draft Criminal Procedure Law" and the "Draft Civil Procedure Law" further solidified this concept."
The lawyer uncle explained everything to Ji Nianqin and the children bit by bit, but Ji Nianqin seemed absent-minded.
"With the rise of law and political schools in the late Qing Dynasty, and the Qing government preparing to establish higher, local, and lower-level courts... the emergence of local lawyers did not deprive lawyers of their market. On the contrary, the immense inertia of history meant that lawyers, both in government and in opposition, had ample opportunities to thrive, taking on lawsuits everywhere and even forming groups to expel lawyers."
The lawyer uncle began to show the children a group photo of graduates from law schools across the country, but Ji Nianqin suddenly stood up and talked nonsense.
"Sister, we are one of her three friends. You just mentioned doctors and teachers, and Uncle Lawyer mentioned lawyers. What about me? What should I do? There are jobs like flight attendants. Even if I go back to ancient times, there wouldn't be anything I could do."
The girl lowered her eyebrows. Ji Nianqin touched the girl's head with her hand, as if she felt that this was indeed unfair to her.
"She takes care of her husband and children, and stays home with him to help with farming. You plow the fields while I weave. Women can also farm, raise pigs, and carry manure buckets. Actually, weaving, sewing, embroidering, and other handicrafts are also good. If she has enough money, she can also open a restaurant or do some small business. If not, she can also be a matchmaker, bringing together unmarried men and women. This profession is very popular in our modern times, let alone in ancient times."
"Sister, I don't want to do any of these. Can't I realize my dream?"
"There's also a more orthodox profession. Midwives, also known as midwives, are essential when women give birth. Most people wouldn't dare offend them because they have extensive experience in midwifery and understand women very well. Therefore, in ancient times, they were even asked to help officials examine the injuries of women in certain cases and determine their condition by examining the bodies of women before they died."
"That sounds great. That way, I can be with my three good friends. First, the teacher's advice: if you encounter a naughty and disobedient child, or if they're framed and injured by bad people, a doctor will be needed. If all efforts are in vain, I'll be needed to assist with the autopsy, and the lawyer can offer guidance. That way, we girls can become lifelong sisters, with our own independent personalities, independent of men."
"You've even come up with a one-stop service. That's great! I never thought girls are more sophisticated than men. Boys are generally more careless, so you've created a situation where men and women work together and don't get tired. But be careful, women don't have to rely on anyone in this world. Sometimes you can be a team player at work and be part of your family at home. You don't need to be so tense every day."
"I have something else to do. Lawyer, could you please help me take care of the children first..."
