"Shoo, shoo..." Fat Auntie stood up, pushing Luo Xiaoqiong away in disgust. "Is that how you talk about your own mother?" Then she turned with a smile and walked towards Zhang Erniu, handing her a package wrapped in a handkerchief that she had just taken from under the bed, "This is the 'kowtow money' from your uncle and aunt, take it."
"No need, no need..." Zhang Erniu put her hands behind her back, shaking her head bashfully, "Auntie, you already gave me the New Year's money earlier."
"That's different. According to our local customs, during New Year, if the future daughter-in-law visits the husband's family home, the mother-in-law must give a big red envelope. Before the marriage, every year it's given; after marriage, it's given the first year, and thereafter, it's just about giving the grandkids New Year's money." Fat Auntie spoke while looking at Zhao Yulan, "Chuxia's Mother, please vouch for me."
