I think 四大長老 had claimed all $$ were their contribution. 鄉下 relatives didn't know it was only your hubby's $$.
四大長老 now have to take $$ out of their pocket.
I feel more and more frustrated - 99 is definitely ... If she does not cover XX, XX wont be so... I feeel like your 99 does not treat your hubby as son, just make him pay all $$.
It is better to know them well now, rather than at the time you need them help.
