Introduction: In Xining, Qinghai, a battle for 1.18 million bank cards is being staged. A man discovers that his mother's bank card is missing, while his younger siblings claim that his mother gave them the card. The man could not accept this statement and took his sibling to court, but the court's verdict was unexpected.
What happened:
The protagonist of the story is the eldest brother in the family, named Xiao Ming. He has been working in other places, and at work he was appreciated by his boss and became the manager of the factory. Despite the improvement in living conditions, he never forgot his filial piety to his mother.
A few years ago, Xiao Ming learned that his mother had fallen and injured himself in his hometown, so he immediately quit his work and returned to his hometown to take care of his mother and pay for the medical expenses. However, when his three younger siblings came to visit his mother, they failed to provide substantial help, citing their busy schedules.
After his mother's death, Xiao Ming accidentally found that his mother's bank card was missing when he was sorting out his belongings. He suspected that the three siblings had taken the bank cards, so he questioned them. They insisted that their mother had told them the bank card and password before her death, and that it was a gift from her mother.
Xiao Ming is angry and disappointed, and he believes that as the eldest son, he has the right to inherit his mother's inheritance. He took his siblings to court, hoping for a fair verdict.
However, the court's decision came as a surprise. The court held that Xiao Ming could not provide sufficient evidence to prove that the money was his mother's inheritance and not a gift. According to the provisions of the Civil Code, a gift contract is a contract in which the donor gives his property to the donee free of charge, and the donee expresses his acceptance. Therefore, the court dismissed Xiao Ming's lawsuit.
Epilogue:
This case has sparked deep thought about inheritance and gifting. In this case, although Xiao Ming paid a lot, he could not prove that the money was his mother's inheritance. It also reminds us to make sure there is enough evidence to support our claims when dealing with heritage issues. At the same time, this case also reflects the complexity of family relationships, as well as the contradictions and conflicts that people face when faced with money and affection.
