In 2014, Chen Shusen, an elderly man in Yueyang, Hunan Province, unfortunately suffered from cancer.
After being diagnosed, Chen Shusen's only hope was to pave the way for his disabled son, so he made a will, preparing to leave his family's self-built house of more than 200 square meters and all the property in his name to his son.
However, after the married daughter saw the will, a fierce dispute broke out between the two parties, and the daughter said angrily
It's your business how you want to divide your property, but I bought this house, and you have no right to leave it to your son as an inheritance. ”
However, Chen Shusen said that the head of the house was originally his son and had nothing to do with his daughter, and in the end, because of the division of the house, the biological father and daughter did not hesitate to fight, and everyone in the community knew about it.
So, whose house does it really belong to? Why is the father so ruthless and unwilling to leave a penny to his daughter?
Chen Shusen and his wife are both retired workers in the unit, and their monthly pension adds up to about 4,000 yuan, and the family also has a self-built house of more than 200 square meters, so there is no pressure on daily life.
Chen Shusen's son Chen Ming contracted polio when he was three years old, and since then he has been disabled for life.
The second child gave birth to a daughter, that is, Chen Li, Chen Shusen and his wife were a little disappointed, and wanted to continue to ask for a son, who knows, the wife's body is not angry, and she has not been pregnant again after giving birth to her daughter, and Chen Shusen can only accept her fate.
The only thing that makes Chen Shusen happy is that although his son Chen Ming has a disability, he has been well-behaved and obedient since he was a child, and he obeys his parents' arrangements for everything, and Chen Shusen and his wife also gave Chen Ming all their care.
As for Chen Li, although she is the eldest in the family, her brother has a disability after all, so her parents have always taught her not to compete with her brother for anything, and she must take the initiative to bear the hard work at home.
The parents gave Chen Ming all the material and care unconditionally, but Chen Li could only follow the wishes of her parents and take care of her brother's daily life since she was a child, washing and cooking for him, serving tea and pouring water.
As she grew older, Chen Li became more and more dissatisfied with her parents' partiality towards her brother, and at the age of 17, she left the family to work in the city, despite her parents' opposition.
However, because she has no education and no skills, Chen Li's part-time life is very difficult, her first job in the city was to move bricks on a construction site, and later worked as a dishwasher, entered an electronics factory, and set up a stall.
During that time, Chen Li was tired every day with a sore back, and her palms were covered with blood blisters, but even so, she still sent most of the money she earned back home without complaint, and she was reluctant to buy even a new dress.
After getting married, Chen Li and her husband realized that working part-time jobs would not get a good way out, so they set their sights on the second-hand car market, and the couple took out all their savings and opened a second-hand car store.
After years of painstaking operation, Chen Li and his wife finally made their business bigger and stronger, not only expanding the scale of the store several times, but also buying a villa and a luxury car.
Originally, Chen Ming's parents were ready to be a bachelor for a lifetime, but fortunately, Chen Ming was optimistic, diligent and practical, and later married a girl from the next village with his personal charm.
Although they are brothers and sisters, there is a huge difference in the lives of the two, Chen Ming's family has a limited income, life is hard, and they are poor households in the village, while Chen Li's family has a wide range of financial resources and a worry-free life, and they are the winners of life that everyone envies.
At that time, an old friend of Chen Shusen was going to pay 20,000 yuan for his own house, Chen Shusen felt that it was a good deal, and he wanted to buy it and leave it to his son, but there were two problems that made Chen Shusen feel very worried.
First, he couldn't get 20,000 yuan in his hand; Second, he is very worried that buying a house in his own name will affect the allocation of social housing in the flat.
After thinking about it, Chen Shusen decided to ask his daughter to borrow 20,000 yuan and buy the house in her name.
At that time, Chen Li was 23 years old, and all the savings of her and her husband were invested in the second-hand car business, and they couldn't lend 20,000 yuan to their father.
However, Chen Shusen insisted on buying it, he played the emotional card with Chen Li every day, telling how difficult it was for him to raise her, but Chen Li couldn't resist his father in the end, so he cheekily asked his in-laws and relatives to borrow 20,000 yuan to his father.
At that time, after Chen Shusen bought the house, the name of the head of the household was indeed Chen Li, but because Chen Li was married, this house has always been lived in by her sister-in-law and parents.
Later, Chen Li's career improved, she earned enough money, and she bought another villa in the city, and she didn't care about the rural self-built house she bought for 20,000 yuan.
Until one day in 2010, Chen Li went back to her parents' house to visit her parents, but unexpectedly found that the name of the head of the house had changed to her brother Chen Ming, and she didn't know about it.
Chen Li questioned her father about what was going on, but her father told Chen Li unashamedly: "My house must be left to Chen Ming, it has nothing to do with you." ”
Chen Shusen's words made Chen Li feel very cold and angry, the cold thing was that she was also her father's child, but there was only her brother in her father's plan, and the angry thing was that it was obviously the house that she bought with her own money, but now she didn't even have a word of notice, and it was already clearly arranged.
The father and daughter had a big quarrel over this matter, and for the next four years, Chen Li never returned to her parents' home, nor did she contact her parents again, and Chen Shusen also believed that Chen Li had not fulfilled her obligation to support her daughter.
In 2014, Chen Shusen learned that he had cancer and was now dying, but because the house was purchased in Chen Li's name, Chen Shusen was worried that after he left, Chen Li would come to Chen Ming for trouble.
In Chen Shusen's view, the honest and introverted Chen Ming is not Chen Li's opponent at all, so he must arrange the affairs of the house properly before he dies, so as not to have a place for his son to live in the future.
In order to get things done as soon as possible, Chen Shusen wrote a will, to the effect that all the family's property would be left to his son Chen Ming.
After writing it, Chen Shusen immediately came to Chen Li's shop and asked her to sign the will, agreeing to leave the house to her brother.
But Chen Li didn't agree to sign the will anyway, she still said the same thing, the house was bought by her, and her father had no right to make decisions for her.
Chen Shusen couldn't understand why Chen Li was staring at a worthless rural self-built house when she already had a big villa worth millions, and in desperation, Chen Shusen could only seek help from the community.
Later, under the coordination of the community staff, the father and daughter came to the community mediation room to communicate, and this time, Chen Shusen brought the original purchase agreement and a yellowed account book.
In this regard, Chen Shusen said that he borrowed 20,000 yuan from Chen Li at the beginning, but he returned the money to her a few years ago, so the name of the head of the household naturally had to be changed.
The ledger clearly records every money that Chen Shusen and his son Chen Ming have spent on the renovation and expansion of the house over the years.
Chen Shusen believes that Chen Li has returned a lot of the original purchase money to her, and there is no Chen Li's name on the account book, so how this house is distributed has nothing to do with Chen Li.
However, because the relevant information of this self-built house was Chen Li's name, in order to avoid his son's future losses, Chen Shusen insisted that Chen Li sign the will.
Chen Shusen's approach made Chen Li feel that she was an outsider, completely unpart of this family, since her father didn't treat her as his own, there was no reason for him to arrange his own house.
Chen Li's resoluteness made Chen Shusen angry and helpless, he could only keep telling that his son was a disabled person, and his life would only be more difficult after his death, and Chen Li's living conditions were so superior, he should not embarrass his disabled brother.
Chen Li couldn't cry or laugh when she heard her father's words, she sneered: "How dare I embarrass him, from childhood to adulthood, only you have to embarrass me, if I hadn't worked hard enough to make a little money and found a good mother-in-law, I don't know what it would be like to be bullied by you." ”
The two sides were emotional and refused to back down at all, and the meeting broke up unhappily, but this matter was like a boulder pressing on Chen Shusen's heart, and if it was not resolved, it would be difficult for him to look away.
Soon after, Chen Shusen asked ** for help, hoping to persuade Chen Li to sign the will, and after the mediation of the community director and ** reporter, Chen Li decided to take a step back and give half of the house to Chen Ming.
However, Chen Shusen still disagreed, she thought that Chen Li was just finding fault, after all, she didn't go back to the countryside to live, what did she want this half of the house for.
In this regard, Chen Li said: "If you don't give me a cent of your property, I won't have half a complaint, after all, you have been partial since you were a child, and I have long been used to it, but it belongs to my rights, and I will never let you arrange it, and you are not qualified to make decisions for me with such a strong attitude." ”
Chen Shusen didn't back down, he patted the table, pointed at Chen Li and roared: "Your 20,000 yuan has already been returned to you!."To be a man is to speak of conscience, are you now going to force your father and brother to death?I've been raising you for so many years!”
When you borrowed money, you didn't say that the house was for Chen Ming, and the original 20,000 yuan and the current 20,000 yuan can be the same concept?You said you paid it back, and you paid it backIf you change your name without my consent, you're breaking the law. ”
Hearing Chen Li's words, Chen Shusen was immediately angry, but he didn't know how to refute it, he walked up to Chen Li emotionally, grabbed her hair, and slammed it on the table.
Soon, Chen Li's head was hit with a large bruise, and the staff on the side immediately stepped forward to grab Chen Shusen, Chen Shusen had a mouthful of snot and tears, and kept shouting: "Chen Li, you are a wolf-hearted thing, and you will be punished in the future." ”
After more than ten minutes, Chen Shusen finally calmed down, he walked in front of Chen Li again, and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Chen Li, dad begs you, you are living so well now, this house will be left to your brother, right?" ”
The scene was really ugly, and Chen Li could only kneel on the ground with her father, but she still told her father that the house was hers, and she could only decide how to arrange it.
However, Chen Shusen was not satisfied with this arrangement, he believed that his son's family had lived in this house for a long time, and they were responsible for all the repair and decoration costs during this period.
The most important thing is that he has already returned a lot of the original 20,000 yuan to Chen Li, so Chen Shusen always insisted that Chen Li could not give Chen Li a cent of this house.
Communication fell into a dead end, and the 40-year father-daughter relationship came to an end, and in the end, I could only choose to go to court to solve the matter.
In fact, for Chen Li, who has good conditions, this self-built house in the countryside is not important, if her father did not quietly change the name of the head of the household behind her back, there would not be a series of disputes at all.
His son Chen Ming is a disabled person, and it is normal for Chen Shusen, as a father, to pave the way for him, but once a family with many children is overly biased towards one side, it will inevitably lead to conflicts.
Moreover, since the purchase of the house, the people living in it have always been her brother and sister-in-law and parents, and Chen Li has never complained, or wanted anything in return, which is enough to prove that she is not a cold-blooded person.
However, if a person lives in the unfair treatment of his parents for a long time, his heart will inevitably be unbalanced, and he hopes that every pair of parents can achieve a bowl of water and treat every child equally, only in this way can the family be harmonious and happy forever.
