The unreasonableness of his cousin's family made this man extremely angry.
The article is shared by Mr. Hua (China) and is attracting attention on the Toutiao platform.
I was born and raised in a remote rural area. Because of my poor family circumstances, I had to work very early in the garment factory and the wood workshop in the village.
Although my salary is not much, I live frugally and save a little so I can help my parents.
After getting married, instead of working for hire, I opened a breakfast shop next to the gate of the secondary school in town.
Because the business is quite good, I can save more than 100,000 NDT/year.
By 2000, after a long time of saving, I was able to buy a house with 3 bedrooms and an area of over 80 square meters in town. After living here for about 5 years, my family needed to spend more.
When opening a restaurant could no longer meet the demand, I decided to move my family to Guangzhou to live and do business.

Because of my busy work in the city, I rarely go home. The old family house seems to be empty. When some friends heard about it, they tried to persuade me to rent it out. But I didn't agree.
Until 2008, I heard that a cousin in difficult circumstances had no place to live. I decided to lend my house to him in the hope of helping my family have a better life.
After the first month of living together, he offered to pay me a little rent. But I refused. Because I made this decision not to earn money but to share some of the hardship with him. In response to my kindness, sometimes his family often sent my husband and I some vegetables or a few chickens. Because it was a gift from the countryside that they raised themselves, I did not refuse.
Since my cousins have been living and looking after the house, we feel completely secure and rarely return to the old house. However, occasionally, my cousin still tells me about the roof repair or the kitchen repainting. Knowing that my cousins are also financially tight, I often send money back to help the family.
Time passed, my brother and sister-in-law lived in my house for 15 years. Until 2023, because my second daughter wanted to study abroad and needed a large sum of money, I came up with the idea of selling the house in the countryside to save money for her to fulfill her dream.
After considering and confirming this option, I understood that I needed to notify my cousin's family early so that they could find a new place to live. Knowing that their family was in financial difficulty, I planned to give them some money to cover their expenses at the new place.
When I called to inform my cousin, I felt that they were not happy about this. However, I thought that this was understandable, so I did not complain. However, 1 month after the announcement, I returned to my hometown to show the house to the buyer. I was surprised to discover that my cousin had not moved out yet. At first, my husband and I thought that they had not found a new place to live, so we stayed for a few more days.
But after asking directly, I received a very surprising answer. My cousin said that he had lived in this house for 15 years, had painted the walls, fixed the floor tiles... Without those things, this house would be extremely dilapidated and could not be sold for 300,000 NDT (about 1 billion VND). Therefore, now, my cousin asked me to give them half of the sale price, which is 150,000 NDT (about 500 million VND) before they would move out.
When I heard this, I felt extremely angry. After all, you have lived in my house for so many years and have not paid. Whenever there is a plan to repair something, I always send money to pay. Why do I have to pay such a large sum of money when I reclaim my own house?
In order not to damage the relationship between siblings, both sides negotiated a lot. I even asked a few relatives to help me, but I did not get the desired results.
With no other choice, as the deadline for my daughter’s overseas education payment was approaching, I decided to take the matter to court. Of course, the law sided with me. The government took measures to force my cousin’s family to leave my house.
Although I know that this solution will make it difficult for us to see each other after that time, I still don't know how to handle it. If I had to do it again, I would still help my brother and sister, but there would be clear agreements and signings at the beginning so that things would not turn out so badly.
