When Lin Wan was 26 years old, she finally did a "selfish" thing - when she got married, she left all the 180,000-dollar gift to her parents' family.
She believed that this was the last act of filial piety as a child. She has made arrangements for her younger brother to buy a house and for her parents to provide for their retirement. From now on, she can run her own small family with peace of mind.
Until her mother-in-law became seriously ill and the family was in dire straits, she returned to her parents' home to get back even 30,000 yuan for an emergency.
Her father banged the table and scolded her for being "unfilial", her mother wiped her tears and said, "Your brother hasn't married yet," and her younger brother said matter-of-factly, "Sister, when you get married, don't worry about your mother's family's affairs."
At that moment, Lin Wan finally understood - she was not a daughter, but a cash cow; not a sister, but a stepping stone.
After leaving her parents' home, she blocked all contact information and completely severed the "family relationship" that had existed for more than 20 years.
Later, her younger brother ran away due to debts, and her parents were left homeless. They asked someone to bring her a message and beg her to come back. Lin Wan looked at the sleeping child in her arms and said softly——
"I have my own home."
Reader comments
The story is very real and touching. Preferential parents have been around for a long time, and favoring sons over daughters is also very realistic.
