The other ladies' eyes lit up, and they became interested.

“This is a good idea. My youngest daughter is too extravagant. No matter how expensive something is, she doesn’t care. She only eats the tip of the strawberry and throws away the rest. It costs tens of yuan per kilogram, and she throws away at least two-thirds of it. She doesn’t care about the money at all. It’s the same with other foods. For example, imported drinks cost more than ten yuan a bottle. She opens it, takes a sip, and then leaves it there. When I clean her room, there are mostly half-full bottles of drinks left. She just took a sip and threw them away.”

Another Mrs. Wang, the wife of the CEO, got angrier and angrier, and her chest hurt from anger. She and her husband started from scratch, selling five-cent coins at a street stall. They worked hard in all kinds of weather, and when they were hungry, they would buy a few buns and flatbreads to fill their stomachs. They would never spend money on a restaurant.

Her husband even endured a fever, refusing to go to the hospital. He bought a large watermelon and ate it all in one go. After urinating a few times, he recovered. Poor people have cheap lives. Back then, they ate in the open, sometimes full and sometimes hungry, yet they never suffered from serious illnesses. On the contrary, now that conditions are better and they live a life of luxury, their health is not as good as before.

The couple came from humble beginnings. Even though they are now big bosses, they don't dare to spend lavishly. They can't even bear to throw away leftovers. They cook some rice porridge the next morning and continue eating. Their two older children suffered along with them when they were young, and they are quite sensible now.

The youngest daughter, however, was born into a well-off family and never experienced hardship. She developed a habit of spending money extravagantly and had no sense of budget. Her mother withheld her daughter's allowance, but her husband would secretly give it to her, so it was impossible to prevent.

Mrs. Zhang slapped her thigh, finally finding a kindred spirit. "My daughter's the same! She never knows how much money she should spend. She wants the best of everything—clothes, shoes, even her pens have to be brand names. She's just a little kid, and she spends over ten thousand yuan a month. Even if I don't give her any, her dad will. She's incredibly generous with her money."

She's a spendthrift at school; if she could make friends that way, that would be fine—she could just buy friendship with money. But those people spend my daughter's money and then bully her. Ugh, I can't even talk about it; it breaks my heart."

After several wives of CEOs complained about their children for a long time, Ye Qingqing realized that they were all middle-aged when they had children. Their older children were already adults, their conditions were better, and they had nothing to do at home, so they decided to have more children!

The eldest grandson and the youngest son are both precious treasures. These wives of CEOs are all complaining about their children, whether they are daughters or sons, they all have the same problem.

Ye Qingqing summarized it as follows:

Wasteful, spends money recklessly, lacks social skills, can't stand hardship, has a princess complex, is overly sensitive, and doesn't understand the suffering of others...

There are too many bad habits to list on a single page. These aren't just the problems that one or two children have. Now that economic conditions have improved and most children are only children, there will be more and more children like this in the future.

“Going to the mountains is a good idea, but we have to find a reliable place. It’s okay if the child suffers there, but we can’t let anything happen to her.” Madam Xie was thinking things through. She also wanted to send her own daughter there for reform.

Her daughter was only twelve years old. Although her problem wasn't that serious, it was already showing signs. Moreover, Madam Xie hoped that her daughter could experience hardship and see the poor life of children in the mountains so that she would realize how fortunate she was to live in such a privileged environment.
