Wang Wu, scanning quickly over the replied, more or less had an idea why his boss was frowning earlier.

Miss Xiao Xi probably just wants some pocket money to buy some knickknacks, said Wang Wu hesitantly in a low voice after a whilte. After all, girls her age all enjoyed buying some cute knickknacks.

Gu Shao did not respond to him but clicked opened another article that he had just downloaded.

The meaning of giving pocket money to your children.

It was normal for a child to want to have pocket money by a certain age. Giving your child pocket money isnt an encourage for them to splurge or to compete with others. It is an opportunity for them to decide on how to spend their money and learn how to plan ahead

Okay, this one wasnt half bad.

Gu Shao nodded silently.

Wang Wu had yet to recover from his shocked state when he saw Mr. Gu made another call.

It was a call to Gu Feng.

Gu Feng picked up on the other end after two rings.

Whats the matter, Lao Er?* asked Gu Feng.

Are you busy right now?

No, not too busy. What is it? Gu Feng sounded serious.

Gu Shao rarely called him up, especially at this hour. He figured Gu Shao must have something important to say to him.

Wang Pei had tried to stop him a few times but Old Mr. Gu was always able to figure out ways to give the kids money. He would pay them to help him download an app, or pay them a reward for helping him nab some items on some software

The more Wang Pei thought about it, the more annoyed she got. You cant be too enabling on something like that! They would be too relaxed mentally when they dont have financial pressure.

Gu Shao nodded at Wang Peis words. He felt that what she said made a lot of sense.

Nevertheless, before Gu Shao could say anything, something seemed to have occurred to Wang Pei and she said, wait, are you asking because you are planning on giving Xixi pocket money?

Mmhmm.

Oh, thats totally different then. Totally different, said Wang Pei quickly as she quickly overturned everything she had just said. Girls are different than boys. You raise boys poorly but you raise girls richly.

Give her more money and raise her richly. Not needing to feel that she needed to one up someone else meant she wouldnt have to waste her time and effort thinking about one upping someone.

Besides, girls who are raised richly wont easily fall for small gifts in the future.

Wang Peis words reminded Gu Shao of something and he agreed with her totally.

That makes so much sense, sister-in-law, said Gu Shao seriously.

Wang Pei chuckled when she heard that. Right? We need to do Xixi right.

Gu Feng, who had been listening in next to Wang Pei chimed in, Right, raise her richly. Xixi had been through a lot in her old place. We shall not let that happened to her again.

Gu Shao agreed.

Lao = old. Er = two. Gu Feng was referring to Gu Shao as second one because he was the second child.
