Parents should treat each other equally, otherwise children will feel neglected. A 76-year-old man surnamed Zhang from Sichuan, China, and his wife had no one to take care of them in their later years, and their four children were ignored. He sued the court and asked the children to pay living expenses and medical expenses. However, the two daughters refused, emphasizing that they are already married and have a family. In the past, they were the ones who took care of their parents when they were sick and hospitalized, but their parents always preferred their two sons. The court heard and the results were exposed.
According to the “Red Star News” report, the old man surnamed Zhang and his wife have been married for 60 years and gave birth to 2 sons and 2 daughters. Now the children have their own families, and the two of them live alone. Due to illness, coupled with old age, lack of labor and economic resources, the most chilling thing is that the children have not fulfilled their duty to support, “We are sick, and our two sons lost patience following taking care of them for a period of time. The out-married daughters don’t answer the phone calls, we hope they will come back and have a look.”
The old man surnamed Zhang pointed out that in 1979 he bought a house with earthen walls in the local area, and later gave it to his eldest daughter’s family to live in. After the two parties had a maintenance dispute, his daughter sold the house without authorization for 20,000 yuan, which also caused conflicts. He accused that the house was originally for his son and daughter-in-law, and the eldest daughter did not have the right to sell the house. Such behavior also chilled the couple.
The daughter complained that her parents were eccentric, and the benefits were only given to the two sons. (Picture / Recapitulated from Red Star News)
In this regard, the eldest daughter retorted, revealing that she bought the house by herself, “I am selling my house, I have property rights, and I have the right to sell it.” When she was hospitalized, she was responsible for the medical expenses. Her younger sister would also take care of her parents with her, and would go home to visit them when she had time, but the parents preferred their sons. There is only scolding, and it also provokes conflicts between brothers and sisters, resulting in disputes. They oppose the demands made by their parents and think it is unfair.
The youngest daughter also disagreed with her parents’ demands. She complained that her parents always gave her two sons the family’s money and houses, so now the sons should take care of them. “They have two sons, and they should rely on the two sons.” .
The court held that the children should bear their support obligations in accordance with the law, and should not refuse to give up inheritance rights or other reasons, so they supported the demands of the old couple surnamed Zhang. In the final judgment, before the 1st of each month, the four children should pay a total of 1,200 yuan for living expenses, 25% for medical expenses and 25% for nursing expenses, and 25% for funeral expenses following death.
