I imagine that this works out to give typically younger people more money, so the point is in pretending that this isn't what the scheme is.

More like: Your aunt give you and your brother red envelopes that adds to total of $100, then your mom gives the aunts kids red envelopes that add up to $100.

So $100 went to kids on both sides.

Then I go home and mom tells me: "Hey 乖仔 (my sweet lovely son) give me the money 我幫你保管 (I'll safeguard it for you, "for college"!) 🤗"

So like... wtf lmao

Idk what happens on the other side tho... my cousins have Wiis in their house and Nintendo DS, I never had those as a kid. :(

God damn privilaged af, the counsins won the US-Born Birthright Citizenship + Rich Parents lottery, I hate them. (They hated me first, they excluded me because I didn't know English initially)
