Intermediate
For Chinese New Year, it's customary for older members of the family to give red envelopes filled with money (红包, hóngbāo) to the younger members of the family. And just because you've married into the family doesn't mean you are exempt. In this lesson, a woman laments to her husband about her new responsibilities.
