A month into the school year, I messaged my son, who was away at university: “Do you have enough money for living expenses?”
He replied at once: “Yeah. I get spending money every day by claiming red envelopes in the family group chat.”
I froze and opened our family group chat. The last message was my son's university acceptance letter, sent six months ago.
“Which group?” I pressed.
My son sent me a screenshot. The group was called “The Loving Jiang Family.”
It had 23 members.
My mother-in-law, my husband's older and younger sisters, and even distant relatives were all in it. The only one missing was me.
So this group didn't welcome outsiders.
I bought the house before I got married, and my salary card was in my hands.
The next moment, I deleted every Jiang family member from WeChat.
