Mr. Grant nodded vigorously. “Yes, yes! I’ve had somebody read my fortune before, and they all say I’m honest and straightforward.”
Madison continued, “Water signifies wisdom, which means you’re clever.”
Mr. Grant chuckled. “Oh, stop it!”
“There’s a saying in destiny studies. When water and earth mix, wise people do foolish things. Water represents intelligence, but when mixed with earth, that wisdom cantum into trickery, often leading to one’s cleverness backfiting.
“Earth symbolizes integrity, but when mixed with water, that integrity is diluted. The outward appearance doesn’t match the true intent. Such people may scheme against those closest to them.”
Mr. Grant was silent, his expression shutting “Ms. Locke, what do you mean by that?”

“You want to find her now because your son is getting mamed, and you’re short on money”
As Madison spoke, Mr. Grant’s expression grew increasingly sour. His once honest demeanor slowly turned into something malicious.
“How can she, as the older sister, not take care of her brother? How can she not help him buy a house? She’s a university graduate; can’t she come up with that bit of money? I knew it all along–raising a daughter is just a financial loss!”
These words stunned even those who had initially supported Mr. Gramt.
“What land of bizare persona is this?”
“It’s bad enough to favor sons over daughters, but now, he’s playing the victim. With acting skills like that, he should become an actor!”
“Didn’t Ms. Locke say he loves to play the victim and lie? Seriously! If you can’t afford to mise children, don’t have them!”
“Calling a daughter a financial burden? You’re even worse than a daughter. What are you? If you had the ability, you wouldn’t be expecting your daughter to pay for everything! it your son is better than your daughter, let him pay for himself!
“What year is this? How can there still be people who favor sons over daughters!

“You filthy woman, what do you mean? Are you earsing my son?” Mr. Grant cursed angrily.
Looking at the flous Mr. Geant, Madison said, “What I mean is that your destiny is only to have one daughter. You can never have a son.”
