It's money for Jing-mei to travel to China to find her siblings
During Jing-mei Woo's first Joy Luck Club meeting, she is asked to take her deceased mother's place at the gathering. Jing-mei is initially hesitant but eventually agrees to participate, leading to the start of her journey in learning more about her mother and her Chinese heritage through the stories shared by the other members.
The aunties compare their relatives' success against one another. The women do the cooking and the cleaning.
The aunties give Jing-mei Woo a check for $1200 at The Joy Luck Club meeting because they want to sponsor her trip to China to meet her long-lost sisters. They hope that reconnecting with her sisters will bring Jing-mei and her family happiness and closure.

Jing-mei Woo learns she was invited to The Joy Luck Club because her mother, Suyuan, was a founding member and had a vision of Jing-mei taking her place after her death. The other members of the club hoped Jing-mei would fulfill her mother's wishes and maintain the bond they all shared.
