Hearing my daughter's words, my heart clenched and my mind was filled with pain.
Although our economy is only average, my husband and I always try to work hard to give our children a full life and a proper education.
Of course, we also hope that in the future our daughter can marry a gentle, kind and truly loving husband.
However, contrary to expectations, my daughter grew up to be playful, lazy to study, and fell in love early. After graduating from high school, she worked for about a year and then got pregnant, forcing her to get married quickly.
When we first got married, I saw that my son-in-law was gentle and hard-working, so I liked him. But young people are competitive, everyone thinks they are right, and no one wants to give in.
During my daughter's confinement period, I took care of her for 30 days and witnessed 28 days of them arguing, speaking harshly and yelling at each other.
My son-in-law is hot-tempered, my daughter is stubborn, the husband says one thing and the wife says two, gradually the conflict between the two of us grows bigger.
I advised my children a lot but none of them listened, sometimes they even said things that hurt me.
After a while, my son-in-law could not stand my daughter's personality, so he left to work far away and stopped sending money to raise the child. Unable to accept her irresponsible husband, my daughter decided to divorce. After that, she brought her grandchild back to my husband and I to raise, while she went to find a job in the city, only coming back to visit on weekends.
During the time raising our grandchild, my husband and I endured many hardships, but out of love for our daughter, we tried our best to shoulder the responsibility for her.
When my granddaughter was 7 years old, my daughter brought home a guy her age who had been married before to meet her. She told me that her boyfriend left his wife because she had an affair. I don't know if that was true, but seeing her determination, my husband and I happily agreed.
After our daughter got married, my husband and I continued to raise our grandchildren so that they could live freely and work in the city with peace of mind. However, not long after, our daughter began to change her attitude. She listened to her husband and then became indifferent and cold towards her children and parents.
After that, my daughter and her husband disappeared, only returning home once a year. The calls gradually became less frequent, mostly when my wife and I called, she would answer, but after only 1-2 minutes she would quickly hang up.
Fortunately, my niece, although still young, is very understanding. She always tries to study well so as not to let down her grandparents' care. Later, when she grew up, although she lived and worked in the city, she still often visited her grandparents. Every time she came back, she brought some gifts and then went to help them grow vegetables. That helped my husband and I somewhat compensate.

A year ago, there were rumors that my house would be taken over to build a road. Hearing the news, my niece was worried and immediately went back to her hometown to buy another piece of land and build a house so that my husband and I would have a place to shelter from the sun and rain.
The day we moved into our new house, looking at the spacious house, my husband and I were extremely happy and proud.
As for the daughter and her husband, since hearing that their house was being demolished, they have never called to ask where their parents will live in the future, but only focus on the compensation money.
One day when my husband and I went back to our hometown, I accidentally heard my son-in-law urging his wife: "Tomorrow, let's go buy some household items for our parents. Talk to them tactfully, complain a lot about your hardships so that they will feel sorry for you. Only then will the money go to us."
My daughter nodded and told her husband that she would do anything to get our money. Standing outside listening to my daughter, my heart clenched and my heart was filled with pain.
We only have one daughter, we have sacrificed our whole life for her. Yet she listens to her husband, is indifferent and calculating towards her own parents like that.
Too disappointed, I decided to discuss with my husband not to give my daughter a single penny, give my granddaughter 1.5 billion and keep 500 million for the two of us to take care of our old age. Because these two parents no longer expect anything from our daughter, I would rather leave some money to take care of myself.
When the news spread, the whole village quickly knew about it. Neighbors who came to visit often encouraged my husband and I not to think too much. They thought we did the right thing and that my niece deserved the money, but my daughter and her husband did not.
When she found out, the daughter immediately called home and said in an indignant voice: "What are you thinking? I'm your only daughter, that money should be mine! Or are you planning to disown me?"
Taking a deep breath, I calmly replied: "Before asking, think about what you have done to your parents over the years. Do you deserve that money?"
After saying that, I hung up the phone, my hands still shaking slightly. I knew this decision would cause a stir, and my daughter might think that my husband and I didn’t love her. But deep down, I felt I had no shame. What I did was my way of repaying the love my niece had given my husband and me.
