They pushed each other to take care of their sick father, but when they heard that their father received compensation for land clearance, the two sons unexpectedly became considerate and filial.
Family ties, though strong, can be tested by greed and self-interest. Sincerity and selfishness will determine the direction of a family and the fate of an individual.
Family events and children's attitudes
The story takes place in the family of Wang Hui's wife. Wang Hui's father-in-law is a simple man who has worked hard all his life and has three children. Liu Jia, Wang Hui's wife, is the eldest daughter in the family and has always silently shouldered the family's responsibilities. Meanwhile, her two younger brothers seem to have been spoiled to the point of losing their conscience.
In the past, Vuong Huy's parents-in-law had withdrawn all their life savings to help their two sons gain a foothold in the city. They pooled every penny, helping each of them pay a deposit to buy a house.
But life always has unexpected twists and turns. The mother's passing seemed to be the turning point that changed everything. The father's health also gradually declined. And when the old man needed care the most, the two sons who had been pampered showed their selfishness.

Hearing that their father was seriously ill, the eldest brother began to frown and impatiently said, “I’m so busy, where do I have time to take care of my father? Moreover, the money my parents gave me before was only a little bit, life in the city is very stressful, I also have to pay off the mortgage.”
The youngest brother was not willing to give up, and quickly passed the blame: “It’s not easy for me either. I have to work overtime every day, how can I be expected to take care of him? Big brother, sister-in-law is closest to dad, it’s most appropriate for her to take care of dad.”
The two families argued and neither would give in, even jumping into a fight.
Seeing that scene, Vuong Huy and his wife felt extremely heartbroken, so they decided to take their father back to live with their family. Six years have passed, and they have silently shouldered that responsibility.
During that time, the father relied entirely on the couple Vuong Huy. Meanwhile, the two brothers-in-law were completely out of touch. It seemed that the father who had sacrificed his whole life for them no longer had anything to do with them.
Greed is aroused
But then that peace was broken when it was announced that the old house in the father-in-law’s hometown would be demolished. The compensation of 2,000,000 NDT (about 6.9 billion VND) and a new house were like magnets attracting the two sons to return.
The eldest brother began to beg and warmly invite his father to come and live with him: “You have been at my house for a long time, you should change your environment a bit. Come back to my place, I will find a good doctor to take care of your health.”
“Dad, don’t listen to him. His house is small and not comfortable. My place is more spacious. You can come live here. I will cook delicious food for you every day,” the youngest brother quickly interrupted, holding his father’s hand tightly.

Liu Jia's father looked at his two sons who suddenly became filial and sighed silently. In the end, he agreed to follow them.
As the days passed, Vuong Huy's father-in-law spent his last months at his two sons' house. During this time, his two younger brothers-in-law took great care of him, with no other purpose than to hope that he would leave them his fortune.
But the old man did not promise or refuse, just silently watched his two sons "act" in front of him.
Everything became clear only after his death. The appearance of the lawyer became the turning point, changing everything.
The truth revealed through the will
In the presence of the entire family, the lawyer solemnly announced the old man’s will. The lawyer’s announcement swept across the room like a tidal wave: “According to the will, all of the trustee’s assets, including the 2,000,000 yuan in compensation and the house, will be left to Liu Jia and his wife.”
The two younger brothers were stunned and extremely frightened. The eldest son's eyes widened and he quickly retorted: "Impossible! How could Dad leave all his assets to them? There must be some mistake here!"
“That's right! Did you two do something behind my back?” The youngest brother also shouted, his tone angry.
Vuong Huy was also stunned, unable to believe it. But the lawyer only gave Vuong Huy a letter and said: "This is the letter your father-in-law asked me to deliver. He said that after reading it, you will understand everything."
Vuong Huy tremblingly opened the letter, before his eyes was the familiar handwriting:
“Wang Hui, the thing that I regret the most is letting Liu Jia and you suffer. I have seen clearly my son’s true nature. During the days we lived together, every time I saw my son’s flattery, my heart ached. I know that only when they felt there was hope would they take care of me.
I will always remember the sacrifices you two have made over the past 6 years. You two have never asked for anything from me, just quietly fulfilling your filial duties. This property is what you two deserve, and it is also a little compensation that I can give you two. I hope you two will live well.”
Vuong Huy's tears fell silently, blurring his eyes. Luu Gia also cried silently, she was extremely disappointed with her brother's attitude.
Later, the two younger brothers still did not give up, continuously looking for trouble with the Wang Hui couple, hoping to get a share of the property. But Liu Jia completely ignored them. She understood that this property was not just a sum of money, but also a recognition of the sincere feelings of her and her husband towards their father.
True love and value
In this life, sincerity and lies will often be revealed before benefits, the story of this family clearly proves that.
Sometimes, the love we think is strong is just a false shell covering up benefits; but true love is perseverance and silent sacrifice without expecting anything in return.
When the dust settles, those who are blinded by money will only live in regret for the rest of their lives. Those who keep their hearts sincere will receive the most precious reward.
