Aww, I'm glad you liked it! I wasn't too sure about giving Jien a job - some people have hypothesized that their mother was a prostitute to support them - but it seemed reasonable that he'd taken on being the Man of the House in more ways than one. (And it also keeps him away from her as much as possible ... I think people lose sight of the fact that Jien is also an abused child far too easily.)
