To send her to China
The aunties
Wonton (apex)
It's money for Jing-mei to travel to China to find her siblings
The women do the cooking and the cleaning. The aunties compare their relatives' success against one another. (The "aunties" are the mother's best friends.) The Aunties tell Jin-mei that Suyuan's twin daughters have been located in China, and the Aunties give Jing-mei enough money for her and her father to meet the twins in Shanghai.
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.
