After all, with the position and status they, the couple, have at Number One Scholar Village and Good Taste, plus a dowry from his wife that's large enough to scare people, even if all their kids ended up doing nothing but squandering resources, they'd still be able to live comfortably their whole lives.
Their strong financial position meant that Lianshan, who's naturally very child-focused, had no thoughts of turning his children into career-driven individuals.
