Kiara, even though it’s our first time meeting, when I first arrived, Aunt let me listen to a recording of your radio show, and it deeply shocked me. I really wanted to have a proper talk with you.”
“Huh…? My Mom recorded it?”
When on earth did that happen? How come she didn’t know about it?
Being close to Q City, Kiara’s show could be picked up there too. Sometimes Kiara’s mother couldn’t stay up that late, so she would have Daniel Johnson or Robert Johnson record it for her to listen to during the day.
It was like being together with her girl.
Upon hearing this, Kiara’s first reaction was not to be touched, but rather… how embarassing!
Did this mean that all those messy things she said on her show had been heard by her mother?
Kiara’s show was very sharp, and some of her comments were quite cutting. Suddenly knowing that her mum listened to and even recorded her show, she felt so shy!
“Yes, Aunt played it for me, and I found it incredibly insightful. Kiara, I believe you can help us solve our current marital problems. In fact, James and I have already reached the brink of collapse.”
Kiara may have approached the treatment casually, initially thinking that Jade’s mention of treatment was just an excuse. But at the moment when their eyes met, Kiara saw a desperate plea in Jade’s wife’s eyes.
It was the look of someone who had hit rock bottom, not an act.
“What can’t you discuss at home?” Jade said discontentedly.
“Then if you didn’t come to our home to solve the problem, just to ‘talk at home’, why did you come here at all?” Kiara interrupted bluntly.
Jade closed his mouth, but his eyes flashed with intense dissatisfaction when he glanced at his wife.
“It’s okay, don’t see me as a relative for a moment, just as an ordinary psychotherapist. Who wants to start?”
Kiara cut off Jade’s response, and at this point, he had nothing else to say. Claiming it was just an excuse, that he came only to schmooze, would that not reveal his ulterior motive?
Jade hadn’t expected his wife to be so thoughtless, bringing up such topics in front of Kiara, which made him very uncomfortable. Seeing he was in a difficult position, he decided to take the initiative.
“I’ll start,” Jade said to Kiara.
Kiara spoke gently to Jade’s wife, “Go stay with my mum for a bit. I’ll call you back in after I’ve finished talking with him.”
Jade’s wife looked at Kiara, and it seemed there was a hopeful glint in her eyes, but also a dismal air of holding back her words.
Kiara nodded at her encouragingly, and waited for her to leave before adopting a professional demeanor to ask Jade.
“So tell me, when did the conflicts start?”
“Sis… I’m really at the end of my rope here. Family disgrace isn’t to be spread abroad, but your sister-in-law, she, she’s way out of line. I’ve been wanting to get her out to see someone. I suspect–” Jade lowered his voice, his expression one of tragic sorrow, “she might have mental issues, she’s not like normal women!”
“Oh?” Kiara looked at Jade’s expression and thought to herself, it seemed like he was owed an Oscar by the entire world!
“Other women all love their children, don’t they? But she doesn’t! Can you believe there are women who don’t like kids? We’ve been married for so many years, and she barely takes care of our child, and now she doesn’t want to have another one. We struggle with just my salary; I can’t make enough money there, so I thought of moving to the city–”
Jade was indeed well-versed in the ways of the world. Even at this point, he was still trying to win Kiara’s sympathy in an attempt to use Uncle Liao Walker’s connections to move to the city.
“Wait a minute, child?” Kiara caught the buzzword.
Hadn’t it been said that she refused to have children? How come there was suddenly one mentioned now?
“We have a daughter who’s three years old now. She was born with six fingers, and my wife doesn’t like the child at all. When the kid was little and cried, she wouldn’t hold her–never seen such a neglectful mother!”
“If she isn’t holding the child, what are you doing?”
“I work hard all day; she’s just a sales associate, not that tired. Besides, shouldn’t it be the woman’s job to look after the children?”
“Being a sales associate is harder than you think, and soothing a child isn’t as easy as you imagine. If she’s too tired to care for the child from her job, you should help her. Both of you work; who takes care of the child?”
“In the first two years, she took care of the child. Now that the kid is old enough to go to a private kindergarten, she immediately looked for a job. She earns just over 400 a month; I don’t know what’s the point. I told her to quit and have another child, but she flat out disagreed. I’m the only son in my family, and since the first child is a girl, we can have a second one, but she just won’t agree. The worst part is she even dared to set conditions.”
“What conditions?”
“She said okay to having a second child, but once the kid is weaned, she must be able to work. The child should be taken care of by my mom, and the most outrageous part is, she doesn’t want to give me her earnings; she wants to keep it for herself. Isn’t she just planning to subsidize her family?”
“What does your mom say about it?”
“My mom said she would come over to take care of the child, but she needs 500 a month for her pension, which is almost what my wife earns. So what’s the point of her working? This woman is just too selfish. I shouldn’t have married her in the first place. What do I need a woman for who doesn’t love children?”
“What have you done for the child?”
“I’m a busy man with work; where do I have the time to take care of a child? Kiara, it’s really tough for your brother. Just one daughter and she has a disability, too. My wife doesn’t like the kid, and the whole family depends on my meager earnings. There’s no opportunity for development back home. If I could find a stable job here, your sister-in-law would be willing to take care of the child at home.”
At the end of the day, the conversation circled back to the topic of developing prospects here.
“If she refuses to agree to have a second child and insists on not giving up her job, what do you plan to do?” Kiara understood. Jade’s view of women was as free nannies and servants, which aligned with the perspective of some men from agrarian backgrounds.
“Divorce! Women who won’t have kids and are so troublesome, what do I need her for? Maybe she just wants to finance her own family. We don’t need that kind of woman. Kiara, to save my marriage, you have to speak to Uncle Liao Walker for me. My whole family is suffering, my daughter also has six fingers–”
“Enough, I get it. Call my sister-in-law in here and you go outside.”
Jade took the opportunity to spell it out first, believing that even if Kiara wouldn’t speak on his behalf to Robert Johnson ‘Father’, she would at least advise his wife. After all, he was Kiara’s relative, and his wife was just an outsider.
Even if he couldn’t achieve his goal through connection, persuading his wife would be a good thing. He had heard that Emma Clark was quite remarkable, having just won a national psychotherapy competition.
What he didn’t know was that Kiara was really not going to stand by this time, only she wasn’t planning to deal with Jade. She felt there might be a way to put an end to this annoying man.
