Whether children are filial or not sometimes depends not on their words or performance, but in their actions and true feelings. This story is my personal experience, and I hope to share it with you.
Hello everyone, I am Lao Liu, I am 72 years old this year. Some time ago, my brother needed to be hospitalized because his condition deteriorated. His two sons, who usually don't take much care of him, suddenly contacted me and asked me to visit him quickly.
At the time, I was a little confused, because I knew that my brother had always been a strong man and never wanted to trouble others. But I rushed to the hospital immediately, wondering what would happen to this sudden contact.
After the two nephews left, the smile on the brother's face faded, replaced by deep worry. I reassured him that both nephews must have come to take care of him at this critical time, and that they must have done so out of sincerity. But my brother told me that he had already seen through the nature of his two sons.
It turned out that the elder brother had previously told his two sons that he still had 600,000 yuan in savings, which would be distributed to them in the future, depending on which one was more filial to him. Although this was unpleasant, I still comforted my brother by saying that the two nephews showed filial piety in their care for him.
The elder brother admitted that he had already expected that his two sons would not be truly filial. They fought over his property behind his back, with the eldest son saying he needed financial support to buy a school district house, while the second son asked for more money for his business. My brother told me that he didn't have 600,000, only 280,000. He said this only because his two sons had treated him badly for years and he wanted to make them give some in the last moments of his life.
However, soon after, the older brother died suddenly. My two sons did not contact me, but the hospital informed me to deal with my brother's affairs. I hurried to go, but learned that my two nephews had left with their brother's bank cards and ID cards. They left my contact details and asked me to take care of everything.
I was pained by it. Everything that dealt with the aftermath, including contacting the funeral home, cremation, buying a cemetery, etc., fell on my daughter and me, and my two nephews did not participate and did not contribute a single bit.
The most touching thing is that the brother's distant daughter, who originally had a tense relationship with her brother, returned after her brother's death, not only shed tears, but also provided 30,000 yuan to buy a cemetery. I told her brother about his last wish, but she refused to accept the money, hoping that I would stay for old age. Although I was moved, I did not want to take up the money, leaving part of it and transferring the rest to her.
Summary: This story made me understand that family affection is priceless, and filial piety should not only be in words, but also in action. At all times, true filial piety is not for wealth, but out of genuine care and giving. The love of parents is selfless, and so should the filial piety of children. Only in the face of family affection, money seems so insignificant.
