Called Cruel for Letting Nephew and Adopted Child Sell in Front of the House, Dewi Perssik: Yes, It Trains Their Mental Strength

Kapanlagi.com - Singer known for the song Sweet Dreams, Dewi Perssik apparently teaches her nephew, Lebby Wilayati, and her stepson, Felice Gabriel, to learn to be independent by being entrepreneurs. Lebby and Gabriel are known to sell boba drinks in front of their house.

Because of this, there are many netizens who say that Dewi Perssik is cruel, but for her, it is intended to train Lebby's mentality so that she doesn't always experience an easy life. Not only that, according to Dewi, this method can also develop Lebby's interest in entrepreneurship.

"Yes, it trains her mentality so that she can be like that because so far, she has never lacked anything from her family or parents. So she has to learn how to face difficulties and test her mentality," said Dewi Perssik when met in the Tendean area, South Jakarta, Wednesday (27/1).

1. The Idea Came From Dewi

Dewi also conveyed that the idea of selling boba drinks came from her as an aunt and mother, even so, Saipul Jamil's ex-wife still provided capital to Lebby and Gabriel. From the sales, Dewi admitted that she did not take any profit because she considered it as pocket money that can be enjoyed directly by Lebby and Gabriel.

"I told them to do it because I never give them pocket money, but I provide them with capital on how to make it. So they are not allowed to ask for pocket money from Mama," she said.

"You just go with someone else first. So it's a collaboration, with someone else. Then later they can do it on their own. So the pocket money comes from the profit they get from the sales. So the money I provided is capital for both of them, profit for both of them," she added.

2. Helping with Promotion

In addition, of course, Dewi Perssik also helps by promoting Lebby and Gabriel's business. Surely the products of her children and grandchildren sold out immediately on the first day of selling.

"That's why on the first day, I gave them for free because I was there, many fathers said, 'Sir, come here, buy.' The purpose is to make it crowded. Almost 200 cups were sold out, it's not that difficult for them, right?" she concluded.
