He Kao almost laughed, and Gao Xue'e leaned in, hooking his chin with her finger and said, "Young people nowadays, it's good enough if they're not depending on their parents! Let's talk about something realistic. Her parents want her to come home and work, so her value is reflected in two aspects.
First is the saved expenses from laying off hired help, and second is the additional profit created because family members are more responsible. Have her parents given her these rewards?"
He Kao: "Didn't I say yesterday, they just give her a bit of pocket money every month, saying it's to help her save for her dowry, and that they're afraid she'll spend money recklessly... Now that this issue has come up, my aunt has even more reason."
Gao Xue'e: "No one else can interfere with this, anyway, I've already given my advice."
