Quy was extremely stunned by her son-in-law’s words. (Illustration)
Quy and his wife have 2 daughters. Her husband died in an accident when the eldest daughter entered the 10th grade and the second daughter was only in 6th grade. Her husband died, the children were still in school, the life of the mother and daughter became increasingly difficult, year-round only. rely on a few acres of fields and a garden to grow vegetables, raise chickens, go to the market to sell and take out the fields.
After finishing grade 12, Quy’s eldest daughter, Linh, had to drop out of school because her family might not afford her dream of going to university. At that time, Mrs. Quy was also very sad. Linh applied to work as a garment worker at a company more than 10 km away from home to help her mother earn money to pay for her life and feed her younger brother.
After a few years of working, Linh saved nearly 100 million. When Lien – Mrs. Quy’s second daughter passed the university entrance exam, Linh gave all that money to her mother to help her go to university. At this time, Linh also started thinking regarding love and marriage.
After 6 years have passed, Linh is now a mother of 2 beautiful daughters, and Lien has also graduated from school, found a job and got married.
The thought that Mrs. Quy’s life will be more peaceful when her two daughters have settled down. However, recently, when she heard that Lien and her husband had an accident, she also spent many nights thinking.
It’s not Son – Lien’s husband has opened a company specializing in real estate. In the years of “fever” land, where Son invested, he won that place, and his life was also quite rich. The couple quickly had money to buy a house and a car to facilitate transactions and business.
However, since the second half of last year, real estate has slowed down, Son’s company has continuously fallen into a loss situation. How much capital and cash gradually “put on a hat”, even Son had to sell his car to beat the hot loans he invested in before. The company must also declare bankruptcy.
Knowing that Mrs. Quy had a large garden close to the road, and many people asked to buy it, Son discussed with his wife regarding asking for that land from his mother-in-law, selling it for a few billion dong to cover the debt. When the business grows once more, will come back to redeem the garden for her.
Thinking is doing, the couple quickly returned to their hometown. When the Son and his wife mentioned asking for a piece of land to sell to pay the debt, Ms. Quy pondered and did not speak for a long time. She loves her children very much, she also understands that the situation of her husband and her daughter is difficult, but selling the land left by her ancestors is something she has not thought of.
Now selling means that there will be outsiders coming to live on the land of the ancestors. This was not what she wanted. Moreover, the land that has been sold can be redeemed or not?
And the wife and daughter of Linh too. Linh sacrificed her studies to help her mother raise her children to study and save money for her. Quy always thought that she wanted to give Linh this house and garden so that Linh and her husband might burn incense to their ancestors following she passed away. Therefore, it was extremely difficult for her to think when Son and his wife mentioned selling land.
Although she loves her daughter and her husband very much, but following thinking carefully, Ms. Quy still decided not to agree to hand over the garden to Son and her husband to sell.
Before the decision of his mother-in-law, Son expressed his dissatisfaction. He did not speak directly to Mrs. Quy, but turned to criticize his wife: “Have you seen it. My immediate family members find it difficult but they don’t help. After I die, I can’t take the land away. But this land has a part of it. It’s yours. Mom is still alive, so let’s divide it up.”
Quy was extremely stunned by her son-in-law’s words. She did not expect her son-in-law to say such careless words. It’s not that she doesn’t love her children, but she can’t go once morest her conscience either. Now she is in an awkward situation, not knowing how to be satisfactory, to avoid unnecessary disputes between her children later.
