[Realistic Family Drama]+ [Settling the Family Score]+ [Rejecting Moral Blackmail]+ [Inheritance Feud Over a Demolition Payout]
Their father suffered a sudden stroke and was rushed into the ICU. The hospital demanded a deposit of 100,000 yuan.
The eldest brother said he was in a meeting. The second sent a red envelope with just 200 yuan. The third hung up and went right back to his mahjong table.
All three said the same thing: “Fourth Brother, cover it for now. We’ll settle up among ourselves later.”
Ji Yanchuan paid.
But this time, he didn’t brush it off with “Forget it,” as he had for the past ten years.
He kept every hospital bill, call recording, transfer receipt, and record of the hours he spent at his father’s bedside.
A few days later, just after their father awoke, word suddenly spread that the old family home was about to be demolished.
The three brothers who had supposedly had no money, no free time, and no time to spare all came back overnight. They fought over the house, the money, and the compensation, each claiming to be the dutiful son.
Ji Yanchuan didn’t argue. He simply laid a ledger of the past ten years in front of them.
“Want a share of the demolition payout? Fine.”
“First, let’s settle every last cent of what I’ve spent caring for Dad all these years.”
It made me burst into tears.
The writing is very real, just like what happens around us, the true portrayal of brothers and sisters fighting for their parents' retirement and family property!
Such a family is a true reflection of current society. The author wrote many different characters. Families with many children blame each other. It is even more difficult for one-child families.
