a gold necklace when she is on free lunch?

I'd say.."Which one of the gifts you've given to your granddaughter do you want her to hock?"
Then if they said something about grandparents giving money instead of jewelry or clothes
I'd remind the A-hole complaining that chances are the grandparents probably help out financially, when they can.
