When I was packing up my belongings, I found a sum of money hidden by my mother and wanted to divide it equally, but the eldest sister called it unfair!
Jianwen's mother has always been in good health, although she is deaf in her 90s, and her teeth are about to fall out, but the amount of food is still okay, she usually walks around by herself without using crutches, and she will not let others help if she can serve her own food, she even likes to plant some peanuts, beans, plum beans and other vegetables in the yard, every time, Jianwen and Jianlong brothers have been persuading their mother not to work, but her mother always feels that once people are idle, they are going downhill.
There is no way, my mother is so old, I have to obey her in everything.
A few years ago, my father died, and my mother lived alone at home, and at that time, my mother was not happy to let her children take care of herself at home, so she had to live alone. What I know is that I understand what's going on, and I don't know that I think it's because the two brothers Jianwen and Jianlong are not filial. Later, something happened to his mother, and Jianwen had no choice but to let his daughter-in-law Meijuan take care of her mother at home until she died.
Jianwen has 4 brothers and sisters, Jianlong is the youngest in the family, and he is the latest to start a family, and now the child is in his 10s, but he is also divorced.
So since the death of my father, it seems that it is most appropriate to build a Wen family to take care of my mother.
My mother is very strong and doesn't like others to take care of her, so even if she is in her 90s, she still lives in an old house and lives alone.
The old house is in the easternmost part of the village, which has now become very desolate, almost uninhabited, many old houses, either collapsed or dilapidated, in the summer, there are overgrown weeds, birds are rampant, the children of the village sometimes like to play hornet's nest or catch it, they like to go to the old house, after all, there are many trees, few people, these things are the easiest to grow.
My mother likes to move a stool to sit at the door of my house, and few people come here, once I see someone, whether it is an adult or a child, whether I know it or not, my mother will take the initiative to say hello, and even beckoned to sit at home.
My mother has always been very diligent, she has a lot of vegetables in the yard, and she also has an old vine, which was able to produce a little grapes a few years ago, but it has not produced many grapes in these years, just like an old man, without the first vitality.
When Jianlong Jianwen was still at home before, the most anticipated season was summer, when it was a happy thing to have grapes to eat, which was a rare thing in the countryside. Because of this, many children in the village secretly went to steal grapes, and they were almost picked when they were not ripe.
Mother always said that planting is for people to eat, who eats different?
Later, my mother planted not only grapevines, but also persimmon trees, and in autumn, the persimmons hung on the branches, which looked very attractive.
Every time, I would buy a lot of apples, or my two sisters would bring a little apple to my mother, and put it with the persimmon so that it could ripen quickly.
Jianwen's children will pick persimmons, give a little to the two sisters, save the rest, and some neighbors will come to ask for a little, but at that time, everyone's material life has become good, and persimmons are not a rare thing, and even later Jianwen's children are picked and sent from door to door.
It's just that this is all in the past, now there are fewer and fewer people in the hometown, only some elderly people are at home, especially like the mother is more difficult, before the father was still alive, they can still be a companion, now the mother is alone, or living in the old house, where almost everyone has moved out, leaving the mother alone in the hometown.
Every time the two Jianwen brothers came back from other places to visit their mother, they would find that she was sitting at the door of the house with a stool alone, either staring at the sky blankly, or sleeping with her eyes closed.
The eldest sister and the second sister want to pick up their mother, but the mother doesn't want to go, she doesn't like to be served, and she keeps saying that she doesn't want to trouble the children.
Jianwen also wanted to take his mother away, but his mother refused to do so. Jianwen has 2 sons, and his daughter-in-law has been taking care of the children to go to school, so over the years, Jianwen's family's income has basically relied on him alone, and now Jianwen is more anxious than anyone else.
It's hard for anyone to take care of it, and my mother doesn't want to go, so I'll always live in my hometown.
The eldest sister and the second sister have grandchildren, and they are not very able to come to see their mother often, sometimes they can come two or three times a month, even if it is good, every time they come, they will wash their mother's clothes, wash the sheets and quilts, dry the quilt, and wash their mother's hair and feet.
Mother always said that she lived alone very simply, and she didn't have to be so troublesome, and when she saw the meat brought by her eldest sister, her mother was also worried, "I'm old, I can't eat so much meat, and the refrigerator is full." ”
Jianwen came back less, Jianlong bought a car since the divorce, and the frequency of going home Big brother and sister came back a little more.
In fact, Jianlong has his own house, but every time he comes home, he goes directly to his mother's house and sleeps in the same room with his mother.
Mother smiled and said that Jianlong was still like when he was a child, and he liked to sleep with people.
For Jianlong, he was worried that his mother would have an accident.
This house is an old house, the floor is paved with bricks, but the height is uneven, my mother is old, and she doesn't like to turn on the lights when she gets up at night, what if she trips?Jianlong wanted to sleep next to him, so he wanted to look at his mother.
For a while, there was no work on the Jianlong construction site, so he stayed at home with his mother. The eldest brother Jianwen transferred 2,000 yuan to him and asked him to install an air conditioner for his mother, because last year's New Year, his mother said that it was almost hot that summer, and there were really so many elderly people in the village who left in the summer.
When these words are said, whether it is the eldest brother Jianwen or the eldest sister and the second sister, they are all more worried. Earlier, Jianlong wanted to install an air conditioner, but his mother kept saying that it was a waste of electricity and was reluctant to turn it on, so he kept refusing.
When Jianlong came back this time, he didn't discuss it with his mother, so he directly installed it for her and taught her how to use the air conditioner. And what about the mother?I said I didn't want air conditioning, but when the wind blew out, I was still very happy.
The days passed slowly like this, and the eldest sister and the second sister also came to see their mother occasionally, everyone thought that this life was good, but unexpectedly, the mother still had an accident.
After returning from the hospital, it is not very convenient for my mother to move, and someone must be around to watch.
This is also the first time that everyone took her out of the old house without consulting her mother. The eldest sister meant that everyone took turns to take care of her, but Jianwen didn't agree, he felt that it was too troublesome, so he let Meijuan stay at home to take care of her mother, and everyone just gave Meijuan a little money every month.
It took a long time for my mother to adapt to the life of two people before she accepted this reality.
The eldest sister and the second sister are also a little more diligent than before, and every time they come, they still help their mother wash clothes and cook. The eldest sister knows that her mother likes to eat dumplings, and every time she comes, she will make the dumpling filling and dumpling wrappers at home, and then bring them together, just need everyone to make dumplings together.
The eldest sister also knows that her mother is a strong person, and if you give her everything, you think it is filial piety, but she is uncomfortable and feels constrained, so often, the eldest sister asks her mother to do what she can, not to let her be tired, and not to let her be idle.
Although she was sick, her mother still liked to plant something, and she had planted a lot of vegetables in her yard before, and now she moved to Jianwen's house, and she cleaned up Jianwen's yard and planted a lot of vegetables.
Meijuan was actually not happy to tinker with these things, so she deliberately teased her mother, "You grow your own food and eat it yourself, I won't help you grow it." ”
The mother didn't say anything, she just planted it herself, at most she wanted her to help buy some seeds from the market town. Meijuan said she wouldn't do it, but she bought the seeds back in the afternoon, and not only that, but Meijuan would also take tools to renovate the land in the yard, sow the seeds, and then go to fetch water.
Instead of letting her mother reach out, she found a small corner for her and left her busy there.
On days like this, everyone thinks it's pretty good. But three years later, my mother passed away.
It's good to be over 90 years old, not to suffer anything, not to suffer any crimes. People in the village said that when they were over 90 years old, they could be regarded as happy and mournful.
The loss was handled by the two brothers Jianwen and Jianlong, and the eldest sister and the second sister were responsible for working at home.
Three days later he was buried, and everything was over. For mothers and children, this can be regarded as a relief.
After the funeral, they all went to their mother's old house.
This place is where they grew up, they went out from here, the house is not old, it has been repaired several times over the years, and now it seems that there is still a shadow of the original repair.
As they talked, the doors opened.
Meijuan said that her mother said before her death that she had savings and would take them out to share them with several children. At that time, Meijuan thought it was a joke, so she said don't take it out, just keep it.
In fact, Meijuan wants her mother to have a thought, so that she will always have the motivation to live. What about the mother?I want to take out the money as soon as possible, so that I have no worries and can leave with peace of mind.
The two of them have been at a stalemate until now.
The brothers and sisters began to clean up in the room, and by the way, they also looked through the mother's so-called money.
My mother's house, which had not been inhabited for many years, looked a little dilapidated and desolate.
When Jianwen was rummaging through the closet, he suddenly found a plastic bag, he thought it was socks or something, but when he opened it, it turned out to be money.
That's about 70,000.
Everyone gathered around, and they were also very curious, how could my mother have so much money, 70,000, which is not a small amount.
The eldest sister said that this is not strange.
Over the years, she has had a pension, a subsistence allowance, a food subsidy, and a sum of money to her mother before her uncle died.
It's just that she has never spent this money.
70,000 yuan, it's a tricky thing.
At this time, the children of Jianwen and Jianlong said that it would be better to divide it equally, so that no one would suffer. Jianwen also said that this is also good, between brothers and sisters, don't have conflicts because of this money.
But I didn't expect the eldest sister to directly refuse at this time, "No, I don't agree, it's unfair." ”
When these words came out, Jianwen was stunned.
It stands to reason that for so many years, his daughter-in-law has been taking care of her mother, although everyone gives her daughter-in-law a little living expenses every month, but in the matter of 70,000 yuan, he said that it is not an exaggeration to divide it equally, right?
Why don't you agree?
When she was puzzled, the eldest sister spoke, "This money, Jianwen took 40,000 yuan, and the three of us have 10,000 yuan each, if Jianwen encounters difficulties later, this 10,000 yuan will be returned, and now it is equivalent to helping Jianwen save 10,000." ”
After the eldest sister finished speaking, she asked everyone if they agreed, Jianlong was the eldest in the family, and he listened to the eldest brother and sister.
The second sister also said that there was no problem, and it was nothing to give Jianwen all the money.
When Jianwen heard this, he was also very moved, it turned out that his own pattern was smaller.
Brothers and sisters understand each other, and that's more important than anything else. When my parents died, they were the closest people, and it was already a blessing to understand each other and not make contradictions!
