Taking care of my mother for 10 years, the day she sold the land, she secretly gave all the money to her younger brother. I bitterly said something that shocked her.

I decided to do something that surprised my mother and siblings.

Ten years ago, because I was worried that my mother (70 years old) was in poor health and living alone, and that my two younger brothers were in the process of starting their own businesses and had little time to pay attention to their mother, I took her to the city to live with me. Since then, she has lived with my husband and I for more than 10 years.

In my hometown, my mother had an old house of 100 square meters and 2 acres of land. Unexpectedly, this year that area was planned to be a highway, so she was compensated about 1,000,000 yuan (about 3.4 billion VND). Such a big deal, but my mother and two younger brothers did not say a word to my husband and I. The three of them just quietly handled everything over the phone.

The day everything was settled, my two younger brothers pretended to visit their mother but in reality they were bringing papers for her to sign to receive the money. I accidentally overheard the conversation between my mother and my two younger brothers and was shocked.

"You guys divide and take all the compensation money. The son is the heir of the house, the daughter who gets married is already someone else's daughter", my mother whispered to her two younger brothers and then firmly signed the papers agreeing to let them inherit all the property.

The moment I heard what my mother said, I couldn't help but feel hurt when she said I was an "outsider".

Hearing my mother say that, I couldn't help but feel resentful. In the days that followed, this matter always bothered me. After many sleepless nights, I decided to do something that surprised both my mother and my younger brothers.

At the weekend, I told my mother: "Mom, today is the weekend, we will take you to visit your two younger brothers and their families. You haven't been home for a long time." My mother was extremely happy to hear that. She quickly packed her things, not forgetting to bring her coat, and happily left the house with us.

My two younger brothers live in the same apartment building. The second younger brother opened the door and saw us, then grumbled: "Sister, why didn't you tell me in advance so I could go to the market?"

I replied: "You ask mom what she wants to eat and then go buy it. My husband and I have urgent business to attend to and can't eat at home."

So, after helping my mother into the house, my husband and I left. After leaving my sister's house, I told my husband to drive straight onto the highway, without looking back, and back to the city.

Around 4pm, my mother woke up and called to ask if we had finished work and when we would come back to pick her up. I said bluntly, "We have returned to the city and will not come back to pick you up for the time being. You can rest assured and take care of yourself at home with your siblings."

My mother asked in confusion: "Daughter, what's wrong? When I arrived, everything was normal, why did you suddenly leave me at your house?"

A phone call filled with tears and frustration

I told my mother directly: "No matter how well I treat you, it's not as good as your two sons. You've been living in my house for 10 years, and my husband and I have been very filial to you. But you sold the land and house, and without saying a word to us, you divided it all among your siblings. You should just stay at your two siblings' house and enjoy your old age. I'm a married daughter, so I won't interfere anymore."

Because my mother had the speakerphone on, my younger brother, upon hearing what I said, snatched the phone from my mother and shouted: "Sister, what you did was wrong. Mom was fine at your house, why did you suddenly bring her here? How should I explain this to my wife? Sister, hurry up and take mom home. Taking care of mom is also your responsibility. What era is this? Men and women are equal."

I replied: "When you divided the property, was it fair, or did you only think about your son and treat your daughter like an outsider? Now you're talking about equality, right? So, you've been at my house for 10 years, now it's your turn. You and your youngest brother will each take care of your mother for 10 years, come find me in 20 years."

My younger brother argued back: "Mom gave me money voluntarily, if you don't have it then go ask mom, what does it have to do with me." Hearing that, I shook my head in disappointment, not wanting to argue anymore.

In the following days, my younger brother kept calling to say that my mother was shocked and refused to eat or drink anything after hearing what I said.

My younger brother asked me to go home and apologize and pick up my mother, but because I was still very upset, I refused. Actually, I am not a greedy person, what I wanted was fairness in my mother's love for the three of us.

If only my mother had told me everything first instead of secretly dividing the money with my brothers. If only she hadn't said those hurtful words, things might have been different...
