也不是都没人介意，包得太少、太寒酸，还是有人会在背后讲话的，像去年，我表姐包给我大哥的孩子一人两千块，我大哥的想法跟你一样，只包给表姐的孩子一人两百块，意思一下，表姐就跟我阿姨埋怨，说我大哥小气，阿姨又去跟我妈告状，我大哥今年就很烦恼到底该包多少，包多了其实他也负担不起。

It's not that no one cares, if you put too little in or are too tight-fisted, people will talk about you behind your back, like last year, my cousin gave my eldest brother's children RMB2000 each. My brother thinks the same as you and so gave my cousin's children RMB200 each, of the mind that it's just about the spirit of things, but my cousin complained to my auntie, saying my brother is tight-fisted, then my auntie went and told my mother, so my brother was a little perplexed as to how much to give this year, as he doesn't have the resources to give so much.

Yes! But my cousin said that she hasn't come back home for new year for several years and that they don't meet so regularly, so she felt it was an opportunity to express sincerity, but my brother thinks their families aren't that close and that just paying lip service to the spirit of giving is enough.
