My grandmother was old and sick, and my uncles began to fight over the medical bills
My grandmother is over 90 years old, and her health is deteriorating, and her uncle needs to take her to the town hospital often. My grandmother often had some chronic diseases, such as colds and coughs.
My uncle loves my grandmother the most, and for the sake of my grandmother's body, he has emptied his pocket. Over time, the little uncle felt that this burden was too heavy, and the grandmother had so many children, and the medical expenses should be shared equally by all the uncles.
So the little uncle proposed that part of his grandmother's savings be put in his own house for medical expenses, and several other uncles also contributed a little money every month to let them all do some filial piety.
But as soon as this proposal came out, several uncles immediately exploded. The eldest uncle was so sick that he couldn't afford to take care of himself, let alone withdraw money; The second uncle has passed away, and the second aunt is just a daughter-in-law and should not take on the duties of a son; The third uncle is a son-in-law in the Yue's family, and he is overstretched, how can he support his grandmother's medical expenses.
Amid the divergence of opinions, the relationship deteriorated rapidly.
The little uncle thought to himself, serving my grandmother day and night, these brothers have no responsibility at all, they don't have a penny, and let me take over the obligation of care. My grandmother has spent so much money, and I have already spent a lot of money, so if I want to empty my family by myself? If the brothers don't share it, I will have to pay it back.
Uncles, you and I quarreled endlessly, and over time, the relationship has cracked. I can understand my uncle's feelings that he wants everyone to share together, but the other uncles have their own difficulties, and this medical expenses became the fuse, igniting the long-hidden contradictions in this big family, and causing cracks between their siblings.
Grandma dies, and uncles fight over the inheritance
After being ill at my uncle's house for a long time, my grandmother finally died. It stands to reason that the uncles should unite and properly handle their grandmother's funeral, but unfortunately there are already too many grievances between them.
The savings, real estate and antiques left by my grandmother should have been divided equally among all my siblings, but my uncle took the opportunity to keep my grandmother's passbooks and money for himself, and gave them to others without mentioning anything.
When the fourth uncle learned of this, he was furious and spent money to build a small building on the foundation of his grandmother's old house to show his revenge on the younger uncle. Then, they found several antiques that my grandmother had kept for many years, which were worth a lot of money.
So the big battle for antiques is about to break out, and you pull me and fight for it. In the end, under the mediation of the elders of the clan, the fourth uncle got the antiques, but he had to pay a considerable amount of "dividends" to the other brothers.
For a while, my grandmother's inheritance became a bone for these siblings to fight for, and they all wanted to monopolize greater interests. This inheritance, which was supposed to enhance brotherhood and cohesion of family ties, became a tool for them to be suspicious of each other and calculate.
The uncles' behavior has departed from the simple family ethics, and their minds have been deceived by money and selfish desires. I look at it in my eyes and deeply regret it.
The love of siblings, whose blood is thicker than water, should have been sublimated when my grandmother and their generation slowly passed away, so that the younger generation could feel the impermanence of life and the preciousness of family relationships.
1. The original article describes that after the death of my grandmother, there was a conflict and estrangement between the uncles over the inheritance, which destroyed the family relationship between siblings.
- Different expressions such as "solidarity to deal with the aftermath" and "equal distribution between siblings" are used
- Depicts the scene of the "Great War for the Looting of Antiques".
- Analyzed the behavior of the uncles who were "detached from family ethics and confused by money"
- Expressed the idea that "the love of brothers and sisters should be sublimated and the impermanence of life should be felt".
3. I highlighted that the focus of the uncles' dispute was money and selfish desires, ignoring the brotherhood, and expressed the same theme as the original text, but using different sentences to describe and explain the logic.
3. Grandma's funeral was deserted, and uncles were estranged
My grandmother's funeral was handled according to rural Xi, but the participation of my uncles was obviously not high. The little uncle went to build the grave alone, and the mourning and remembrance of the grandmother by the others seemed to be just a show.
I still remember the care and affection my grandmother gave to them when she was alive, and now that I think about it, their indifference is really sad.
What made me feel even more unbelievable was that as soon as my grandmother's funeral ended, my second aunt and daughter were about to have a wedding. It stands to reason that the uncles should put aside their previous suspicions and reunite together, but they actually met at the wedding banquet without saying hello, and looked at each other coldly, for fear of having any more communication with each other than necessary.
Seeing this, my mother also left her seat early, saying that she would never attend such a cold family gathering again. I can see the sadness in my mother's heart, she and her uncles have grown up together, and now this team is obviously of the same root, but because of the conflict of interests, they are strangers.
They would rather choose to be estranged than reconciled, which has 294967288 normal sibling relationship. I know that they each have a grudge against each other, and they both think that they have suffered a loss in the distribution of their grandmother's inheritance, which has caused hatred for each other.
But relatives are relatives after all, blood is thicker than water, and I hope that they can put aside their prejudices and rebuild their brotherhood.
Although there is a disagreement between them, after all, they have gone through half a life together, and this family relationship should not be broken. I sincerely hope that my uncles and uncles can rebuild mutual understanding and trust and get through the last stage of their lives together.
Calling on uncles to put aside their prejudices and cherish family affection
As a junior in this family, I couldn't calm down for a long time when I witnessed the discord between my uncles due to interests. The uncles were born from the same roots, worked together with their grandmother for decades, and their relationship should have been very deep, but external financial interests seem to easily tear apart the brotherhood between them.
I understand that things are unpredictable, and the death of my grandmother has made everyone have different expectations of inheritance. However, the affection of relatives and the meaning of life are far more precious than material wealth.
The uncles are over half a hundred years old, and they don't need to worry about money anymore; On the contrary, they need the companionship and comfort of their siblings.
Uncle, do you still remember the simple warmth of your grandparents when they were alive? Do you remember the love in your eyes when your grandmother held your hand? The years you have walked together should not be forgotten by money in your old age.
Let's stop the feuds of the past and cherish every moment that can still be reunited now.
Grandma has passed away, and the footsteps of life will not stop for anyone. Uncles, while we can still see each other, while we still remember your friendship of flesh and blood, quickly rebuild the trust of our brothers and sisters, and spend the last days of our lives together.
Family affection is the most enduring wealth in the world, and it is difficult to erase even if it is frozen for many years. I appeal to my uncles to stop letting money ruin your relationship, to let go of your prejudices, and to cherish the undestroyed brotherly love between you.
Life is short, and we can only find meaning in life through mutual understanding, tolerance, and companionship.
Conclusion
Through this story that happened in an ordinary family, I saw the contradiction between family affection and money. The uncles' eventual choice to let material gain break up brotherhood is a reminder to value what really matters in life.
Birth, old age, sickness and death are the natural laws of life, and in the face of these, we need the love and companionship of our family members even more. The love of brothers and sisters whose blood is thicker than water is the most lasting and unchanging force.
What happened to our uncles reminds us not to let outward money get in the way of our inner feelings.
The relationship between people needs to be managed and maintained, especially the family relationship needs to be carefully cared for. I hope we can all realize that money will eventually run out, and mutual understanding, forgiveness and companionship are the most precious treasures in the world.
Let's build more warmth and cherish every opportunity to get together in life.
The world is stormy, and the morning dew is in the mirror, but there is a family to accompany the fearless. I wish all people to feel the power of family affection in the journey of life.
