When a newlywed gets married, it is generally necessary to prepare some red envelopes for auspiciousness to distribute. But in order to grab the red packet, a group of big mothers specially ran to the park to squat, and also lifted the bottom of the bride's skirt to find the red packet, which made the newcomers speechless and helpless.
Recently, such a phenomenon appeared in the Wetland Park of Renshou County, Sichuan. An online video shows a couple of groomsmen, bridesmaids, relatives and friends preparing to take photos on the lawn of the park. Under the direction of the photographer, the newcomer threw red envelopes at the crowd with his back. Just when everyone was laughing and going to grab the red envelope to set off the atmosphere, a number of big aunts suddenly jumped out next to them and ran into the crowd to grab the red packet, and one of the big mothers even ripped open the bottom of the bride's skirt to pick up the red packet.
"Really speechless, but helpless." On October 28, Ms. Hu, the photographer of the video, told the cover news reporter that this phenomenon began last year, especially this year. "If you don't give them red envelopes, you will say something unlucky." This ethos is really in charge! ”
Newcomer Park to take pictures of the big aunt crouched to grab the red packet
"Curse divorce" if you don't give
Ms. Hu, a makeup artist, recalls that at 9 a.m. on October 25, they and their newlyweds and friends went to Renshou Wetland Park to take some photos before the official wedding began. "We have this custom, when taking pictures, we will sprinkle some red envelopes to set off the atmosphere, and photographers will also capture this moment." Ms. Hu said that as soon as the red envelope was thrown out, a number of big aunts who had been waiting next to her ran to rob it. "In the morning, I sent them a candy and cigarette and asked them not to grab it, but they still came with them to grab it."
Everyone was speechless about this. Ms. Hu said that because the wetland park is the location chosen by many newcomers, since last year, some aunts have begun to squat in the park, and the newcomers who come here have asked for red envelopes or grabbed red envelopes when waiting for photos. "There are more big aunts squatting this year, and there are about 20 people before and after." Ms. Hu said that the red envelopes thrown are generally packed with 2 yuan, and about 70 or 80 will be sprinkled at a time. Sometimes, before the red packet is sprinkled, some aunts stare at the red packet tote bag in the hands of the bridesmaids and groomsmen, come to beg, and even directly reach in to grab it.
If you don't give, some big moms will scold people and say some unlucky things. "Some of the things that are said are ugly, what today get married and get divorced tomorrow." Ms. Hu said that in addition, because most of the aunts who came were older aunts, they did not want to have conflicts with them or even pull, causing greater trouble, so many times they could only acquiesce to them to grab.
Pretending to be a sanitation worker "professional" to grab red envelopes
The trip can reach 50 yuan in the morning
Deeply touched by this phenomenon, there is also Mr. Zhang, who runs a local wedding car fleet. He said that every day from 8 o'clock, the big moms run to the park to squat. Some would also wear yellow vests, hold brooms, and pretend to be sanitation workers cleaning in the park. "If you encounter a good day, more than 20 couples come to the wetland park to take pictures in the morning, and the big moms want this wave and run to the other side to ask for it, and the trip is full." Mr. Zhang said that there are 7 or 8 people who rob when there are many times, and 4 or 5 people when there are fewer. When encountering such a good day, from 8 o'clock to about 10:30 o'clock, a person can probably get 50 yuan in red envelopes.
Mr. Zhang said that in this case, it is not to give, nor is it to give. If you give, some aunts will take advantage of this to ask for it again; if they don't give, they will say something unlucky, and even hold the car door to prevent the new person from getting out of the car.
Mr. Zhang said that in fact, for many new people, marriage is a good thing, generally come to ask for red envelopes, say two auspicious words, new people are very willing to give. "But this kind of 'professional' red envelope grabbing team, I think this is a kind of unhealthy trend, which needs to be managed."
The park said it would step up its persuasion
The lawyer said the act may have been suspected of violating the law
In response to this phenomenon, on October 28, a staff member of the Renshou County Park Management Office replied that they had learned about the situation and reported it to the leaders. In the future, staff will be sent to strengthen persuasion in the park and do a good job of persuasion.
The staff member said that the wetland park is managed by an outsourcing company, and the park management office is responsible for supervision. At present, we have communicated with the person in charge of the outsourcing company and will strengthen the management in the future.
"This phenomenon is certainly not advocated." The staff member said, "But because it is mainly tourists and citizens who are not our employees, and they are all a group of elderly people, we can only persuade and take particularly strong measures to stop them, in order to prevent some major conflicts." ”
So is this phenomenon suspected of violating the law? Chen Shi, a professional lawyer at Sichuan Xinnian Law Firm, said that because the red envelope is sprinkled in a public place such as a park, it is not illegal for passers-by to pick up this red envelope because it is not easy to define. However, if, after picking it up, the newcomer immediately tells the passerby that this is not sprinkled on the public and asks him to return, then the passerby needs to return it.
However, if it is without the consent of the other party, or the other party clearly indicated that it will not give, on the way to grab or stop the wedding car to ask for a red envelope, then this behavior is suspected of violating the public security management punishment law, and the new person can be dealt with by the police.
