That is why you don't get married.
Or if you really, really, really want to get married, get a non-Chinese, non-Sinkie FT whose family doesn't care about silly CNY traditions.
If you're married to a typical Sinkie Chinese charbor:
1) Wife's family is richer, husband will kena lots of 'white eye' from the in-laws.
2) Wife's family is poorer, husband is seen as the 'ticket' to a better life by the in-laws. Expect lots of borrowing, freeloading, leeching etc.
Heads they win, tails you lose. Why bother?
