The old lady who is over eighty years old has been living in the pingdu countryside, with only about three hundred yuan of state subsidies every month, and the problem of old-age care has always been a troublesome thing for her. But the annoyance is not that the pension problem is not settled, but that the big family is gradually becoming a gap because of the matter of providing for her. The reason is that the old lady has seven children, although the family is not very rich, but they are filial to their old wives, the problem is that everyone is a close relative, never calculated the maintenance account, one after another, there are some plans to support the amount of widowhood. Over time, not only did some controversies become public, but there were even times when gambling was not to pay alimony. The old lady was angry and took all seven children to court, letting the law give a clear charter.
Born in 1935, Mrs. Cui has been living in the countryside of Pingdu, giving birth to a total of two sons, five daughters and seven children, and in that era of general poverty, the poor children of the family brought great pressure to life. But Mrs. Cui and her husband, with hard work and thrift, finally raised all seven children and helped them to start a family. After the death of her husband, Mrs. Cui has been living with her younger son's family, usually the other six children send some food and clothing supplies, filial piety and some money every New Year's Festival, when they are sick, everyone works together, and the days are still passable, at least in the village.
Because everyone is a close relative, supporting the elderly is also an unshirkable responsibility, so this big family has not put the old woman's support on the table to talk about, one is embarrassed to talk, the other is that everyone does not think this is a problem, more to give more, less to give less, can you?
But family life is the triviality of chai rice oil and salt, and the friction caused by these trivialities. As time went on, the question of the amount of support began to be calculated. At the beginning, these calculations were only occasionally said in private, and the old lady did not take it seriously, always trying to let everyone relax, they were brothers and sisters, too calculated is not good. But the more they don't face it squarely, the more ripples the problem provokes, and these calculations slowly begin to accumulate and ferment, and the taste changes somewhat, from the verbal dispute between guns and sticks, to saying some hurtful words, until they start gambling.
Once you start gambling, it seems that you no longer have to be afraid of filial piety, you give me less and give less, you don't give me and don't give, and several children's families began to compete. The old lady is very annoyed, on the one hand, she is indeed older, the cost of seeing a doctor and taking medicine has increased, and she only has a monthly subsidy of about three hundred yuan, which is a bit nervous. On the other hand, such a quarrel between brothers and sisters, the relationship estranged, not to mention, is also seen as a joke by the villagers. The old lady came forward to persuade several times, but the effect was not good, in a fit of anger, simply, go to court, let the law give an explanation.
The old woman's claim is that in addition to the younger son, the other six children each pay 1370 yuan in alimony per year. The old lady sent a message in the lawsuit: Everyone is a close relative, if we can understand each other, I am willing to continue to live according to a reasonable way of providing for the elderly.
After trial, the court held that parents have the obligation to raise and educate their children, and the children have the obligation to support their parents. Parents who are unable to work or have difficulties in living in the event that a child fails to perform the maintenance obligation have the right to demand maintenance from the child. At the same time, respect for the elderly and old-age care are also traditional virtues of the Chinese nation. Supporting the elderly shall fulfill the obligations of providing economic support, daily care and spiritual comfort to the elderly, and take care of the special needs of the elderly. Therefore, Mrs. Cui's litigation claim was upheld by the court.
Seeing that the old woman was really angry, several children paid child support.
In this case, the children were willing to support the elderly mother, but when several children were supported together, they went to court because the three monks did not have water to eat. Since ancient times, inequality without widowhood has been the problem of cooperative groups, even between close brothers and sisters. Therefore, the best way is actually to settle the account clearly with the brothers, and the clearer the account, the stronger the brotherhood. If you don't understand the face, not only will the pension account become a confused account, but I am afraid that the brotherhood will also be eroded, bringing a lot of embarrassment to future exchanges.
