Listening to the explanation, I was left in silence.

The 70-year-old man, who thought he could rely on his son in his old age, was extremely disappointed by his son's attitude. In the end, he made a decisive decision that his son and daughter-in-law regretted too late.

The story shared by Mr. Te on China's social network Baidu received sympathy from everyone.

Lonely old age

My name is Qi Guo Tong, I am 70 years old, retired and have 2 children, 1 boy and 1 girl. Before, I never worried about old age because I believed my children would take good care of me.

However, I could not have imagined that life in my later years would be so difficult. 2 years ago, my wife passed away from a stroke, which made me start living alone. At first, life was comfortable, without worries because I could do everything myself. But since I fell ill and had to be hospitalized, I realized that life was difficult and sad when no one cared for me.

One cold winter morning, covered in snow, I accidentally stepped on a slippery ice block and fell down, causing my bones to be injured and in excruciating pain.

After being taken to the hospital by a neighbor, the doctor diagnosed me with a severe leg fracture and required surgery. The hospital asked for a deposit of 20,000 yuan (nearly 70 million VND) and a family member came to sign the surgery papers. I quickly called my son.

When my son arrived at the hospital, I was surprised when he said that he could only spend 10,000 yuan on the surgery because he had to pay for his daughter's school fees, and asked me to call my daughter to take care of the rest.

I was both hurt and saddened by my son's actions but could do nothing but call my daughter. When my daughter arrived, she panicked and asked if her father was okay and if he was in pain and quickly paid the full amount for the surgery.

That evening, my son-in-law also cooked nutritious food and brought the children to visit him to comfort me and pray for my quick recovery.

During my days in the hospital, my daughter and son-in-law took care of me very carefully and thoughtfully. My daughter took care of all my surgery and hospitalization expenses.

On the contrary, I felt disappointed and dismayed by the inconsiderate actions of my son and daughter-in-law. They always made excuses that they were busy and could not visit me many times.

Express your feelings for your son or daughter

When I was discharged from the hospital, the doctor requested that I have someone to take care of me, so I actively refused the good intentions of my daughter and son-in-law and went to live with my son. As soon as I moved in, I noticed the couple's bad attitude, their unwelcomeness was evident in every expression.

When my daughter came to visit me, I wanted to keep her for dinner with me, but my daughter-in-law bluntly chased her away, saying, "We don't have any food at home. We've been busy these past few days so we haven't been able to buy any."

Seeing my daughter-in-law's expression, I was angry and sad. She also knew I was in a difficult situation so she proactively left and said she would come next time.

I sadly wondered why my son could be so heartless (Illustration photo).

Because my legs have not fully recovered, I need help walking, and because of my age, I often have to go to the toilet at night. Every time I ask my son for help, I can clearly see his anger and reluctance.

My son kept complaining to me to stop drinking water and to stop torturing my children. After I was able to walk normally, I worked hard to help my children with housework, but their attitude did not change. One time, I wet the floor and my daughter-in-law almost fell.

The next day, my daughter-in-law gave me a suitcase and asked me to leave the house. I was really surprised and extremely miserable because I never expected that one day my daughter-in-law would kick me out of the house.

I called my daughter, unable to hold back my tears. She was shocked to see me crying and kept asking what happened. I didn’t tell her the truth, just told her to come pick me up and stay at her house for a while.

When my daughter came, she didn't press me on anything, she just comforted me and took me home. My son-in-law and grandchildren welcomed me very much, they said they were happy that I came to live with them and that they could take good care of me.

Since I moved to my daughter and son-in-law’s house, I have felt very happy and joyful. Every day, I am carefully taken care of by my children, and my grandchildren gather around to ask about me. On weekends, the whole family goes for a walk in the park and goes out to eat.

During this time, my son only occasionally called his father 1-2 times to ask how he was, which really disappointed me.

Huge fortune and surprising decision

After 3 months of living with my daughter and son-in-law, my house in the countryside was put up for demolition and I received compensation of up to 2 million NDT (about 6.98 billion VND).

I decided to keep 1 million yuan (3.49 billion VND) in savings and give the rest to my daughter. I decided not to give any money to my son and daughter-in-law.

When she heard my decision, my daughter advised me to divide it equally with my brother to avoid causing conflict. Furthermore, my son also called me and said, "Dad, you have to think carefully. Don't forget that your daughter is married and will only have your son, daughter-in-law and grandchildren to take care of her when she gets old."

Hearing what my son said made me laugh, my disappointment in my son reached its peak and I angrily lectured him: "Even though I'm old, I'm still clear-headed. Whoever treats me well, I'll treat them the same way. And you and your husband shouldn't expect to receive a penny from me."

After that conversation, I felt much lighter and more comfortable. I followed my decision and enjoyed my carefree old age with my children and grandchildren.
