It was a decision that happened a few years ago, like a small pebble that was inadvertently thrown into the lake, and the ripples spread rapidly from the center to the surrounding areas, indicating that what was to come was a whirlpool of family conflicts.
At that time, Chen Shusen made a seemingly ordinary decision - to change the name on the real estate certificate to his son Chen Ming. As a retired worker, Chen Shusen can receive a generous pension of more than 3,000 yuan per month, and his life should be said to be quite prosperous.
But his only regret is that his son Chen Ming was born with a disability and a worrying future, which makes him often suffer from unspeakable self-blame and guilt in his heart.
Yes, that property was originally purchased by her daughter Chen Li many years ago. Chen Shusen still remembers the scene at that time. Chen Li told him with great ambition that her neighbor had sold a spacious house of more than 200 square meters for 20,000 yuan, and she wanted to buy the house and settle her elderly parents and her brother's family to live in.
Although Chen Li has long been married, her filial piety to her parents has never diminished. In order to give her parents a place to live, she resolutely spent a lot of money and bought this property.
However, what is unexpected is that Chen Shusen turned a blind eye in front of his daughter's contribution. Out of guilt and preference for his son, he secretly transferred all the rights to this property to Chen Ming's name.
Chen Shusen thought that this was to lay a good foundation for his son's future, but he did not expect that this decision was like a seed, slowly germinating, taking root, and extending the entangled vines in the hotbed of the family.
For a while, Chen Li didn't know about it. It wasn't until she accidentally discovered the suspicion on the real estate certificate that she realized that her father's contribution to her was so indifferent and turned a blind eye.
In this way, a faint pimple slowly grew in Chen Li's heart. Although the conflict between father and daughter has not surfaced, it has long been spreading underground.
And when Chen Shusen was found to have a terminal illness, the pimple finally swelled and erupted, triggering a protracted family dispute.
Dating back to earlier, Chen Shusen's patriarchal attitude towards his daughter Chen Li was the origin of this family conflict.
From the moment Chen Li landed on the ground, Chen Shusen seemed to ignore this daughter. Maybe it's the influence of the social environment, or the desire for boys in his heart, in short, in his educational philosophy, the concept of preference for women over men has been rooted for many years.
In contrast, his disabled son Chen Ming has received more love and attention from his father. Chen Ming's unfortunate encounter when he was a child made Chen Shusen feel guilty, and he secretly decided to do his best to compensate and care for this son.
Chen Li has felt her parents' coldness towards her since she was a child. She clearly remembers that whenever she expected to receive her father's love, Chen Shusen's eyes were always attracted to her son, as if she was just a dispensable existence.
This faint sense of neglect often made the young Chen Li feel frightened and helpless.
After growing up, Chen Li chose to stay away from her hometown and work hard in other places. She thought that with her ability and diligence, she would one day win her father's appreciation and approval.
But the reality is far from so, even though she has created a brilliant life in a foreign land, bought a luxury property and a luxury car, her father's attention is still Athens on his son.
Until one day, Chen Li looked at her elderly parents and poor family background, and made up her mind to buy a spacious house for them. So, she spent a huge amount of 20,000 yuan to buy the big house of more than 200 square meters sold by her neighbor and handed over the key to her parents.
She thought that with this significant contribution, she could finally gain her father's appreciation and affirmation. However, the reality is unexpectedly cruel - Chen Shusen, regardless of his daughter's filial piety, secretly changed the name on the real estate certificate to Chen Ming, as if erasing Chen Li from all positions in this family.
In this way, under the neglect of her father, Chen Li slowly developed a sense of alienation from her family. The bond of father-daughter affection seems to begin to slowly crack a subtle crack at that moment, and as time goes by, this crack gets bigger and bigger, and finally becomes the bane of family conflicts.
In the blink of an eye, several years have passed, and Chen Shusen's physical condition has deteriorated. The once sturdy body gradually faded down, and the original ruddy complexion lost its former luster.
Chen Li was very uneasy every time she went home to visit and saw her father's wandering figure.
Until one day, a routine physical examination sounded the alarm for Chen Shusen's family. The shocking diagnosis revealed that this once heroic veteran has now entered the advanced stage of cancer, and his life is coming to an end step by step.
Faced with the threat of death, Chen Shusen felt unprecedented fear and helplessness. He began to reflect on his life, hating the debt he owed to Chen Ming back then, and at the same time realizing the great contribution made by his daughter Chen Li to the family.
As a result, a decision gradually took shape in his mind - in his limited life, he must completely determine the ownership of that property and put an end to this obscure family dispute.
After careful consideration, Chen Shusen decided to give all the family property to his son Chen Ming. In order to realize this wish, he did not hesitate to make a desperate gamble and take risks. He personally drafted a solemn will, changing the real estate certificate to Chen Ming's name, but asked his daughter Chen Li to sign the words "renunciation of inheritance rights" on the documentary evidence.
Faced with such a domineering request from her father, Chen Li could not hide the anger and sadness in her heart. As the initiator of the original purchase of the house, she had hoped that the property would be a safe haven for the family, but now her father's decision has given this haven to her younger brother Chen Ming alone.
What's even more chilling is that in the place where the will is signed, Chen Shusen ignored her contributions over the years, and even her name did not deserve to appear.
The conflict between father and daughter broke out in an instant under the ignition of this will. Chen Li insisted on dividing the property equally in accordance with the law and would never agree to give up her rights and interests. Chen Shusen, on the other hand, took a tough stance and insisted on leaving all his family property to his son.
The originally warm family affection was completely broken under the tearing of interests. The two sides are entangled over the property, and the back-and-forth arguments intensify until they escalate into a physical altercation at a family meeting.
Chen Shusen was furious, and he actually carried out a family nunnery against Chen Li in public.
Seeing that this was wrong, his son Chen Ming hurriedly rushed forward to pull the father and daughter apart. He tried his best to dissuade Chen Shusen: "Dad, look at what you have done? My sister's request to divide the property is also excusable, why do you treat her like this? What's more, even if the property belongs to me in the future, you can rest assured that I will handle all this properly and will never treat you half a cent."
However, these words stimulated Chen Shusen's nerves even more. Over the years, how he had favored his son, and now he was opposed and lectured by his son, which made him feel helpless and disappointed.
In the face of the impact of violence, Chen Li still remained calm. She understands that the fundamental reason for her struggle to divide the property rights is not simply to get a share of the wealth, but more to get the respect of her father for fair treatment.
The past is replaying in his mind like a marquee: since he was born, Chen Shusen has ignored this daughter, but looking at the birth of his son Chen Ming, he can be regarded as smiling.
Later, when Chen Li was full of ambition to go to other places to work hard, she still couldn't see her father's caring figure behind her. Even though she spent a lot of money to buy a house just to let her parents have a place to live in their old age, her father finally quietly gave this property to Chen Ming.
Along the way, it seems that he has never really won Chen Shusen's appreciation and love. Now, in his deathbed decision, Chen Li once again felt the taste of being left out.
Deep down, she hopes to be recognized and treated fairly by her father for the last time, rather than being treated like a "second-class citizen" in the family.
And Chen Shusen's appeal for his daughter seems to be a little too arbitrary. He insisted that as a child, he should take the initiative to reach out to his younger brother, rather than dwelling on the ownership of the property.
In his eyes, although Chen Li has a successful career and a good life, she still can't understand the guilt of being a father to his disabled son.
The two looked at each other and got into a long cold war for a while. In this tense atmosphere, the only mediator unexpectedly appeared on his son Chen Ming.
As the other party to the dispute, he stepped forward and persuaded his father not to dwell on the real estate matter anymore, and to respect his sister Chen Li's wishes.
"Dad, look at what you've done? It's understandable for my sister to ask for the division of the property, why do you do this to her? What's more, even if the property belongs to me in the future, I will definitely handle all this properly, and I will never treat you and my sister half a cent.
Chen Ming said, his eyes firm.
These words were like a dagger, piercing Chen Shusen's heart. How he favored his son over the years, but now he was opposed and preached by his son, which made him feel helpless and disappointed.
Tears rolled in his eyes, and finally Chen Shusen bowed his head to the ground in front of his daughter, begging her to fulfill his last wish and generously spare his son this time.
Facing her parents' begging, Chen Li had mixed feelings in her heart. The reason why she insisted on sharing the property equally with her brother was that in addition to feeling that it was reasonable to do so, deep down she was more of a grievance and the pain of not being understood by her father.
She seems to be able to go back to her childhood, and when she sees herself at a young age, she longs for her father's love, but her eyes are always attracted by her younger brother, as if she is just a dispensable existence.
She is like a hollow ball that can never be filled, she looks rich and beautiful on the outside, but her bones are always full of thirst for family affection.
When she grew up, Chen Li tried her best to show herself, just to win a harsh nod from her father. However, when she grabbed glory and wealth in a foreign land with her own hard work, her father's attention was still Athens on her younger brother.
Even the property that was bought in order to settle his parents was finally ignored by his father and secretly changed to Chen Ming's name.
It is precisely because of this frustration of being ignored that Chen Li insisted on dividing the inheritance equally in the face of the stern requirements in her father's will. This is not only the coveting of material wealth, but also the hope that by fighting for legal rights, he can show that he is also an equally important member of the family.
But for Chen Shusen, his approach was entirely well-intentioned. As a veteran who once killed the enemy bravely, he always felt extremely sorry for his son's natural disability, and deep down he always wanted to compensate and care for this poor child in the way he had left.
Even though Chen Li has a successful career and a good life, in the eyes of her father, she is still the "independent daughter" who doesn't need him to pay too much attention.
After all, since he was a child, Chen Shusen has indeed neglected Chen Li, and even put more care for his son. Now he wants to leave the last family property to Chen Ming, which is tantamount to a kind of compensation and compensation for his son.
There are too many misunderstandings and estrangements between the two. In the face of Chen Shusen's tearful begging, although Chen Li was moved, she still couldn't let go of her father's favoritism and neglect over the years.
It is true that money cannot make up for the deficit in family affection, but an attitude of fair treatment is what she desires in her heart.
Just when the stalemate was at a stalemate, his son Chen Ming walked between the two again and took the initiative to make concessions by example: "Dad, sister, why do you want to dwell on this matter? I have my own measure, and I will handle this property properly, and I don't need to worry about me anymore."
Sister, you can straighten out the affairs at hand first, and then come back to reunite with us when you have leisure, the old man is not young, let's try to make him as happy as possible.
