(Four More) “Other than that… I remember now, your Uncle asked to borrow money from me a few days ago. He said he wanted to buy an air conditioner, because Granny takes turns staying with our two families, and he complained it was too hot at his place and was worried Granny would suffer,” recalled Kiara’s mother.

“He even had the cheek to depend on us for buying an air conditioner. If they bring up the Elder again, just tell them to use the Elder’s retirement pension to buy it. That’ll quiet him down. As for this thing with Johnson…” Kiara paused, thinking it over.

“Don’t give money anymore. It’s better to teach someone to fish rather than to just give them the fish.”

“What’s this talk about fish?” Kiara’s mother only knew about braised fish.

“What I mean is, given our family’s situation, once you give the money out, you definitely won’t get it back, and it’ll only lead to more trouble. Wait until I find a job for Jade’s wife where she lives. She can earn a bit more each month. That way, her status at home will improve, and, as long as the couple is willing, they can save up for a while to afford the Child’s surgery.”

This was a one-size-fits-all solution that would ensure the other party remembered the kindness from Kiara’s family, and it would keep Johnson from causing trouble.

“Why go through all that trouble? Just give them the Money directly,” said Kiara’s mother.

“Are you getting carried away just because you have a bit of Money? I’m telling you, people don’t cherish things they get too easily. If you just give it to them, Johnson won’t only be ungrateful for your kindness, but if you can’t help them next time they need it, you’ll be seen as their enemy. However, if you get his daughter-in-law a job, he’ll be forever thinking of you.”

Ultimately, the biggest beneficiary of this would be the Six-fingered Kid Kiara hadn’t even met.

“There is sense to what you’re saying. But do you have someone on your side who can help?”

“The Stone Family’s Pharmaceutical Factory should have a distribution point over there. When the time comes, I can get Jade’s wife to do some sales there. It’s tough work, but the income isn’t low. Then, Johnson won’t have a choice but to help with the Kid, whether he likes it or not.” Men with a small-town mindset, although a bit stubborn, can be reliable if you get a grip on their Money; he’s sure to be on his best behavior from then on.”

“Your Mr. Jade sure knows how to make people angry. If my Sister-in-law hadn’t mentioned it, I’d never have guessed he was the type to neglect his Child. Since he’s my nephew, I have no right to criticize, but Kiara, I’m actually surprised by your approach this time.”

“Oh? Surprised by what?”

“Well, I’ve listened to so many of your radio shows, and you always bring up divorce so casually. I was worried you were going to advise them to split up.”

“Err… Mum, could you listen to my show a bit less in the future? Staying up late is really tough,” said Kiara, feeling slightly embarrassed that her Mum was tuning into her broadcasts.

“No big deal. Uncle Liao Walker records it for me. I don’t just listen by myself–I also play it for the ladies around me. I’m proud and happy to see my daughter doing well.”

“Alright… Forget I said anything…”

And she even shares it with others!!!

Kiara’s temples began to throb.

“Mum, there’s something I need to say upfront. My job might look like it doesn’t require much thought, but it burns through half of my brain cells just dealing with one issue. For example, after advising Jade’s wife, I have to lie down for half a month. Edward and I are planning to have a Child soon. I don’t mind offering voluntary advice to the people you introduce to me, but if it interferes with us having a Child–”

“Ah! You’re planning to have a child? Emma, thank Heaven and Earth, you’ve finally come to your senses. Don’t worry! From now on, I’ll push everything aside for you and won’t let them bother you. Kiara, won’t you be delaying your studies? Maybe you shouldn’t pursue a doctorate. They say female doctorates aren’t like normal people…”

To Kiara’s mother, her daughter reaching graduate school level was already a delight. In her mind, a doctorate wasn’t much different from a master’s degree, merely the distinction between first-tier and second-tier, and weren’t there still many with associate degrees?

“You should watch less of that nonsense. How many doctorates do you see that are not normal? Is Giorno abnormal? Didn’t Olivia Plum Brown, such a nice girl, get married just the same?”

“That’s about female doctorates, not male doctorates! I even heard a joke recently, saying that undergraduates are like Huang Rong, master’s students are like Minari Zach, doctorates are like Master Extinguisher Green, and if one goes on to do a post-doc, they become Invincible East!”

Kiara took a deep breath and chanted in her heart, this is my own mother, this is my own mother, I can’t snap at her…

“Mum, why are you joining the crowd in demonizing highly educated women? If I turn out to be Master Extinguisher Green, what does that make Camden?”

“A Shaolin Baldy?” Kiara’s mother had recently switched from melodramas to martial arts dramas, so she had a quick response.

My mother, my mother, I can’t get angry with my mother…

Kiara was again mentally boosting her own morale. Kiara’s mother probably felt it wasn’t proper to speak like this about her own sensible and filial son-in-law, so she spat twice in disapproval.

“You mischievous girl have led me astray! Where were we?”

“We were talking about why Jade’s wife shouldn’t get divorced. It’s not because Jade is your nephew, but I think there’s a saying that’s particularly true: the world does not abound with sages, just ordinary people comforting each other. Jade’s wife is an ordinary woman, and Jade is an ordinary man. If you tell her to divorce, she needs to have the means to start over, what about the child?”

The reality is, unless a woman who isn’t financially independent is as beautiful as a big star, would a man she remarries, even if better than Jade, genuinely offer better conditions?

Some of Jade’s straight-male ideas are terrifying, but they aren’t beyond redemption. He seeks shortcuts, but he doesn’t mess around with unnecessary things outside. He is unwilling to spend money on his disabled daughter, yet he doesn’t despise or mistreat the child.

Once Jade’s wife starts earning more and becomes financially independent, her personality is sure to become more confident. Would Jade remain the same by then?

People change, and when she changes, he will change too. Men driven by self-interest are annoying, but they have their advantages. As long as Jade’s wife earns more and gains financial control, that guy would have to behave properly, not dare to mistreat Jade’s wife, nor dare to dislike the child. The most important thing is, if Jade’s wife stands up for herself, Jade would have to share some domestic responsibilities, leaving him no time to bother Kiara’s soft-hearted mother, liberating Kiara from this family’s troubles for good.

In fact, there are more extreme methods to ensure Jade would never bother Kiara’s mother again, but if taken, the child with six fingers would suffer. Since Kiara herself plans to have children, she instinctively wants to accumulate virtue during this period.

“You’ve really grown up, a married woman is indeed different.”

Kiara’s mother felt relieved, amazed at her daughter’s maturity. She remembered when Kiara almost married Vincent Netherwood and had no clue that she should choose an expensive wedding basin, whereas now her daughter could analyze things thoroughly.

“It has nothing to do with being married or not, you heard in my program that those who get divorced face fundamental issues. For Jade’s wife, it’s just a minor marital conflict, not irreversible.”
