Recently, my husband and i got a gold bracelet of hkd4000 for the full-month dau of his sister. My 99 asked me to give lai-see amounting few hundreds for the full month dinner. Is lai-see still needed ? If yes, how much ? As i am unfamiliar with cantonese culture, your advice is deeply appreciated.
I think 1000 is too much as we already gave a generous jewellery. 2 lai see ($100 each) is ok. Furthermore, his sis gave a decent jewellery and didnt give lai see for my child during full mth too. Both his sis and husband are wealthier than us.
I dont mind 6299 gave 1000 themselves. I think 99 should not decide for me. Initially told me few hundreds over phone. Then when my C6 is present, she told me to give 1000 and C6 agreed without discussing with me. Initially C6 told me to decide but changed his mind after 99 requested 1000. The cash comes from our joint. I explained to 99 jewellery given and 1000 is too much. 99 said she will wrap for us, of course in front of my C6 again. 62 was not present. I think 62 will agree with me and will jump if he knows. Both 6299 are not working and not rich. 99 decided the amount without 62 consent and knowledge.
I prefer to spend wisely on coming cny - another huge expenses.
