My name is Zhang Dawei, and I am the second aunt in this family. My grandfather passed away, leaving 120,000 yuan in funeral expenses, and my uncle and second uncle actually wanted to divide the money equally, which made me angry. I'm not the kind of person who is easy to talk to, and I don't agree with such unreasonable things.
My grandfather had worked hard all his life, and when he was old, he was sick and needed to be taken care of. At that time, where did the eldest and second uncle go?One is working in other places, and the other is busy with his own small business, so he doesn't have time to see the old man. What about me?I am the second aunt in the family, although I am not so close by blood, I come to take care of my grandfather every day, from delivering meals to cleaning, meticulously.
The eldest uncle and the second uncle's concern for their grandfather is probably only a few occasional greetings on the other end. But I'm different, I take care of my grandfather with practical actions, and even pay out of my own pocket to buy medicine for my grandfather. Over the years, I don't know how much money and time I spent for my grandfather. Now that my grandfather is gone, my uncle and second uncle suddenly came out and said that they wanted to divide the money equally, isn't this a clear bully?
After the funeral, I calculated the accounts, and in addition to the expenses, there was still 120,000 yuan left. The eldest uncle and the second uncle didn't say a word, but said that they would divide the money equally. I objected on the spot: "This money is my grandfather's funeral expenses, not your money!."What do you calculate the money and time I spent taking care of my grandfather all these years?”
When the two of them heard what I said, their faces changed. I know that they know in their hearts what they have done and that I am telling the truth. The uncle hesitated and said, "This ......."Isn't that how it should be?After all, he is our father. ”
I sneered, "Should?".You haven't even fulfilled your responsibilities to take care of your father, and now you still want to share the money?You're so thick-skinned!The second uncle also wanted to say something, but looking at my eyes, he didn't dare to say anything.
I knew in my heart that I wouldn't let them take this money easily. What I did for my grandfather was out of respect and love for him, not for the money. But that doesn't mean I'm going to let my uncle and second uncle get their way. I want them to know that they must have a conscience and not forget their duty as children and grandchildren just because of a little money.
My persistence was also supported by the elders of the clan. They all know that I have taken care of my grandfather over the years. So, I made my request: "This money should be used to do something meaningful, such as donating to charity, or to repair my grandfather's grave." "The eldest and second uncles had no choice but to agree to my proposal.
I know that the contradiction between family and money is difficult to reconcile, but everything I do is out of respect for my grandfather and a sense of responsibility to my family. I will not let greed and unrighteousness tarnish that respect.
In this dispute within the family, I insisted on my position and did not let my eldest uncle and second uncle divide the 120,000 yuan. I knew in my heart that they were blushing at the money, and they didn't take into account my grandfather's feelings at all, let alone his hard work during his lifetime.
Just when everyone thought that the dispute would continue, an unexpected turn of events suddenly occurred. An old friend of my grandfather's before his death heard about this and took the initiative to come to our house. He said that his grandfather had mentioned to him before his death that he hoped to donate some of the money to the local welfare home, which had helped him.
I was shocked and moved to hear the news. My grandfather even wanted to help others when he was alive, which raised my respect for him to another level. After hearing this, the eldest and second uncle's faces became ugly. They understood that if they did what their grandfather wanted, they would not be able to share the money.
Next, I came up with a compromise. Part of the 120,000 yuan was donated to the welfare home according to his grandfather's wishes, and the rest of the money was used to repair his grandfather's grave, and a part of the money was used to worship his grandfather every year. I said, "This respects my grandfather's last wishes and ensures that his grave is properly cared for." ”
Although the eldest and second uncles were reluctant, under the pressure of the old people and grandfather friends in the clan, they could only reluctantly agree. They knew that if they continued to fight, they would only make their image worse in the clan.
Eventually, we followed the plan. I personally went to the welfare home and donated the money, and the staff at the welfare home were very grateful. My grandfather's grave was also properly repaired. At that moment, I felt an inexplicable sense of satisfaction and serenity.
After this incident, I deeply realized that in the face of money disputes within the family, it is necessary to adhere to the right principles and not let greed and injustice prevail. I also realized that sometimes family relationships can become fragile in the face of money, but as long as we insist on justice and do it with our hearts, we can always find a solution to the problem.
Since then, I have become more cautious in my handling of family affairs and more focused on maintaining family harmony and dignity. I know that this is not only a sign of respect for my grandfather, but also a continuation of the family tradition. As for the eldest and second uncles, although I did not continue to pursue them, I had already drawn a line in my heart, knowing that I would have to keep a distance from them in terms of money in the future. After all, family affection is important, but it does not mean that there can be unlimited tolerance and sacrifice.
