Mom, when did you get here? Why did you bring so much luggage with you? Since everyone is here, let's sit down for a family meeting; I've sold the old house in the county. It sold for 800,000 yuan in total, and I gave all the money to Jianjun as startup capital for his transport company. From today on, I'm moving in with you two to spend my retirement. That house was my property; it's my right to decide what to do with it. But selling a house and moving are huge decisions; shouldn't you have discussed it with us first? Thunghia, it hasn't been easy for my mom raising the two of us on her own. Jianjun is just starting his business and is short on capital; Mom helping him out is for the good of the Wang family, and since we have a spare room, what's the problem with her moving in? My daughter is still the most sensible one. Thunghia, you two clear out the master bedroom for me today; I'm getting old and my back isn't great. The master bedroom has good light and is near the bathroom, so naturally, I should have it. You're both young, the guest room is fine for you; I'm here to retire. We can discuss how to take care of you, but the master bedroom is the one we've always used. For you to make us move out the moment you walk through the door doesn't seem quite right. What's not right about it? I am your elder, so the best room in the house should naturally be reserved for me. Also, starting next month, both your and Tumai’s salary cards and savings books must be handed over to me. You young people spend money wastefully and don't know how to manage a household. From now on, all the money in this family will be managed by me. When you need to spend money, just come and ask me. Mom, are you here to retire or to take over this household? How my wife and I spend our wages doesn't need anyone else's approval. Thunghia, don't be so harsh; my mom only wants what's best for us. Mom has lived a hard life for over half her years and knows how to budget better than anyone; if we let her manage our money, we might even save a bit more. Tumai, is this really what you think? Are you actually agreeing to give up our master bedroom and hand over all our savings to your mother? My mother isn't a stranger, what is there that we can't give her? Besides, she will be living here from now on, so it’s only natural she should have more say in household matters. Did you hear that clearly? My daughter doesn't even have a problem with it, you're just the son-in-law, why do you keep trying to stop it? A son-in-law is considered half a son. Now I have no home to live in. Isn't it only natural for you to provide for me? Providing for the elderly isn't the problem, but providing for them without any boundaries is a different story. You sold your only house, gave all 800,000 yuan to Jianjun, kept nothing for yourself for housing or living expenses, and then turned around to force me to give up our room and hand over my salary. Is this arrangement fair to me? It's my money; I can give it to whoever I want. Jianjun is my son , the heir to the Wang family; he's starting a company and needs capital, if his own mother doesn't help him, who will? Tumai is my daughter, if you married her, you have to be responsible for this mother as well. If Jianjun is the son you value the most, and you gave him all the money from the house sale. Then why don't you go to him when you need someone to look after you? Shuni, stop trying to drive a wedge between my mother and me. Jianjun just started his business; renting a warehouse, buying trucks, hiring drivers—everything needs money, how could he possibly have the energy to take care of Mom? Our life is stable and our house is spacious, so it's most suitable for Mom to live with us. So, because Jianjun is having a hard time, you gave him 800,000 yuan. And because I have a house and a salary, I have to take responsibility for providing for you, and even hand over the decision-making power in the family. Your so-called "suitable" arrangement just means the benefits go to Jianjun, while the responsibilities fall on me. Isn't that right? Stop standing there calculating and counting every penny. Back when you married Tumai, I didn't even look down on your ordinary family background, and now you're trying to settle scores with me? Since you’ve brought up the past, let’s settle every old score today. Five years ago, Tu Mai fell ill and had to be hospitalized for surgery. I asked to borrow 20,000 yuan from you to cover the expenses. You said you didn't have a single cent in your hands. Yet, when Jian Jun bought a car the next day, you immediately gave him 100,000 yuan. Later, when we were renovating our house and Tu Mai was pregnant and couldn't work, I worked a full-time job by day and a side job by night. You never helped us cook a single meal, but you went to Jian Jun's house every day to babysit for him. Those things happened a long time ago, why are you still bringing them up? Because I am the one being asked to hand over my bedroom, my salary, and all of my savings. Over the years, every time you were sick or had a check-up, my wife and I paid for most of the medical costs and insurance. Jian Jun only gifts you a carton of milk for the New Year, and you go everywhere praising his filial piety, while me taking you to the doctor, waiting in line, and paying the bills is taken for granted. I didn't keep score before because I respected you as Tu Mai's mother, but that doesn't mean I don't have limits. What is wrong with a daughter spending a little money to take care of her own mother? You’re a man, yet you hold onto these petty sums of money; no wonder you can't accomplish anything big. The amount of money isn't the main point. The point is that you have never viewed our family as a family that deserves respect. Jian Jun needed money . You gave him all your assets without even discussing it with us. When you needed someone to care for you in your old age, you moved into our home without any discussion either. You didn't come here to talk things over with us. Huyen Huyen Huyen SAT 136004 You just came here to inform us that we have to bear the consequences. Shu Yi, my mother is already this old, can't you just say a little less? Mother no longer has a home; where else could she go but our place now? It's not that she didn't have a choice, she personally traded her own security for 800,000 yuan and gave it all to Jian Jun. If the money is with Kien Quan, he should be responsible for arranging your housing; we shouldn't have to pay for their decisions. Very well. Tu Mai, look at the kind of person you’ve married. I haven't even settled in yet, and he's already started kicking me out . What’s the point of keeping a husband like that? Divorce him immediately and come with me. I gave birth to you, so naturally, you must listen to me. Thu Nghia, you are really being unreasonable today. Mom just wants to stay here, yet you keep harping on about those 800,000 yuan. If you really can't accept my mother, then there's no need to continue this marriage. What I’m trying to protect isn't the 800,000 yuan, but the boundaries of this family. Mom can come stay for a while, and we can take care of her together. But she can't just move in, take over the master bedroom, seize my salary card, manage all our savings, and give everything to Kien Quan. And then expect me to unconditionally provide for her old age . This is my daughter's house, I can stay in whatever room I want. You are just the son-in-law. It is not your place to stand here and boss us around. Tu Mai, kick him out right now. From now on, this house will be for the two of us. Once Kien Quan’s business is stable, we can even save a room for him . Mom, you’ve finally revealed your true intentions. So, you didn't just want to move in to retire; you were planning to bring Kien Quan here too. What’s wrong with me saving a room for my own son? We’re all family, what right do you have to object? I have every right. This house was bought for me by my parents before we were married. The property deed only has my name on it. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Vuong family. You said just now this was your daughter's house , but both legally and in reality, this is my pre-marital asset. What do you mean by that? Are you using this house to pressure the two of us? I'm not using the house to pressure anyone; I’m just stating the facts. You are always welcome to visit as a guest, Mom . If you need care, I am also happy to help within my means. But you wanting my bedroom and to control my salary and all my savings. And then making space for Kien Quan is something I cannot accept. Thu Nghia, do you really want to turn against me because of this house? It's not that I'm turning against you because of the house; it's that you have never viewed our marriage as an independent family from the start . Your mother sold her house, gave away the money, and moved here, yet no one asked for my opinion. Now she even wants me to hand over my salary card, and you still expect me to follow her arrangements. You are my wife, but you've only ever thought about how to be an obedient daughter, never about how to be a fair partner. Tu Mai, don't waste your breath on him anymore. This kind of man doesn't care about you at all; hurry up and pack our things, let's leave. I don't believe we can't survive without him. Fine by me; your luggage hasn't even been unpacked, so you can take it right away. If Tu Mai decides to go with you, I won't stop her. But there is one thing I must make clear first. Since Kien Quan took the 800,000 yuan, he must be responsible for your housing and living arrangements. Don't let it be that in a few days he refuses to take you in. And then the two of you come back and force me to take on the responsibility again. Very well. Tran Thu Nghia, since you are being so cold-hearted today, don't come crawling back later. What I regret most is that for years I chose patience over communication, making everyone think my sacrifices had no limits. Filial piety is not wrong, but it cannot be achieved by sacrificing your spouse or seizing others 'homes and income. Fine, we'll go. My son took the 800,000 yuan; surely he wouldn't fail to take care of his own mother? Then go and find the son you love most to show your filial piety. Dear viewers, my mother-in-law sold her only house, gave all 800,000 yuan to her son to start a business, and then moved into the house I owned before our marriage. She demanded that I give up the master bedroom and hand over my salary and all my savings. What hurt me most was that my wife didn't say a fair word for this family, instead claiming I must unconditionally obey her mother to be considered filial. Parents should be cared for, but assets cannot just go to one child while all the responsibilities are pushed onto another family. Husbands and wives must respect each other; you can't force one person to sacrifice for the other’s family forever. Today I asked them both to leave; am I being too heartless, or have I finally managed to protect my own home?
