[NTD, Beijing time, January 18, 2022]A newlywed couple got married in Nanchong, Sichuan. They were chased by a group of aunts in the square for a red envelope. “Turn the aunts out of the mountains”. However, the scene of these aunts grabbing red envelopes still surprised the bride.
A video posted on Weibo showed that on January 13, at the Nanchong Olympic Sports Center, several aunties chased a couple of newcomers who came to shoot the location to ask for red envelopes. At this time, a young man in a black long down jacket shouted to the aunt, “Come here, take the red envelope”, and ran to the distance.
The aunts then ran to the man in a swarm, all of them stretched out their arms to ask for red envelopes. The man carried a backpack in his hand and kept giving out red packets to the aunt. Someone took one and refused to leave, but asked for it. Another aunt was carrying a child on her back and holding one in her hand, asking for a red envelope for the child.
The bride told “Jimu News” that relatives and friends had warned beforehand that someone might ask for a red envelope while filming the location, but when she saw the scene of grabbing a red envelope, she was still shocked and thought it was an exaggeration.
The best man in charge of “Tiaohu Lishan” said that after he gave the red envelope that day, these old people kept chasing after him. In order to lure the old man away, he ran around the park for more than ten minutes. newcomer.

She introduced that many newly married couples will take pictures in the park, and those aunts will come to block you, and they will not be allowed to take pictures without giving red envelopes. “It’s not enough to give one, I’ll need it later.”
The woman also disclosed that an aunt who took the lead in asking for red envelopes was arrested last year and is now squatting here again, begging for red envelopes. “When the newlyweds get off the car, they swarm to a large group of people to chase and ask for red envelopes. If they don’t give them, they will say some unpleasant, unlucky things, and they will also curse.”
The video of the aunt chasing the red envelopes caused heated discussions on the Internet. Netizens said, “What’s the difference between this and robbery?”
The aunt intercepted the wedding car and asked for a red envelope, so she couldn’t “have a son early”
There are many places in China where aunts pursue red envelopes. In December 2019, a welcoming convoy in Wenzhou, Zhejiang was stopped by more than a dozen elderly people in Cangnan County, who knocked on bamboo boards and demanded “happy money”.
According to Ms. Chen, the bridegroom’s sister-in-law, “The wedding car was parked at the entrance of the hotel. When the bride got off and got on the car, a group of old men and women suddenly appeared. They drove a tricycle and stopped in front of our main wedding car, and then knocked on the allegro. Saying let’s give you some money.”
Ms. Chen said that there is no such custom in the local area, so she rejected it immediately. Unexpectedly, the old man and the old lady who surrounded the wedding car not only blocked the car and refused to let it go, but also said nasty words: “If you don’t give money, the bride and groom can’t have an early child. Today’s big day makes you unhappy.”
In desperation, Ms. Chen had to spend a few hundred dollars. After begging for money, the group of old people began to look for the next home.
The aunt divided the spoils unevenly and made a loud noise: “I only get three yuan, it’s too little”
On October 11, 2017, a couple of newlyweds got married in Shijiazhuang, Hebei. During the wedding, they were blocked by a group of strangers in the community asking for red envelopes. They refused to let them go upstairs, and kept up with the elevator all the way.
The best man said that the newlyweds and their families did not know these aunts, so they wanted red envelopes if they didn’t want melon seeds candy, because they didn’t want to spoil their mood on the big happy day, and finally gave them more than 100 yuan.
The best man said that it was raining that day, and these aunts got the money, held umbrellas, and shared the money downstairs. They even quarreled. Some people shouted: “I only get three yuan, which is too little.”
Ren Zhanmin, a lawyer from mainland China, recently posted on Weibo saying, “It’s the old man who has become bad, or the bad man getting old. It’s really inappropriate to ask for red envelopes on someone’s wedding day, and if they don’t give it, it’s unlucky.”
