Six figures

When my cousin got pregnant out of wedlock, I expected my aunt to go berserk. And I would have completely understood her reaction. Although tactless and with a mouth like a machine gun, she worked day and night to support my cousin’s education. Like all parents, I knew she would have wanted her daughter to hand her a diploma, not a grand baby. So everyone was bracing for the most destructive family feud of a typhoon, including the neighbors, but to their surprise my aunt remained calm. It turned out, my cousin’s boyfriend is a seaman. And seamen in my country are known to make a lot of money. Hence, the eye of the storm didn’t make its landfall.
P.S. The photo says it all.

I agree! Seafearers are known to be the riches people in the country. Did I spell it correctly?

@sol_cee Not in my blood. My cousins from the mother side are all working on ship. The big brother is now a captain. And his two brothers are on his team.

It's a shame that money has to motivate your aunt to love her own child no matter what!

i agree with you, and the quote you presented in the image. maybe all the more if the seaman who deposited his sperm cell in to the egg cell of your cousin has his own house now, and has many cars. but the mother should still let her daughter and the boyfriend wed in church or civilly.

I guess your cousin had a good figure too before she got pregnant :)

Hmm. Must be nice. I am assuming he is in the Japanese Navy? In the U.S. our military are paid abysmally. For what they do and what they and their families sacrifice, they should be paid a LOT more than they are. Few people in the military would ever be considered well paid here, but they certainly do have steady work and a solid retirement if they stick it out to the end.

Ha ha ha! Money speaks! I like the way you described your aunt! Hope your cousin would have a fine life with that seaman.
