Mother's 70th Birthday Gift Dispute

During the National Day holiday, my brother and sister went back to their hometown to give my mother a 70th birthday wine, and received a gift of 64,800 yuan that day. Brother, sister-in-law and elder sister quarreled over the distribution of gift money.

On October 4th, 65438/kloc-0, my mother held a 70th birthday party. Three of our four brothers and sisters are in Guangdong, I am in Dongguan, my brother is in Foshan and my sister is in Guangzhou. We all got home before last night.

At home, it's my elder sister and brother-in-law. She got married near her family.

Relatives and neighbors all came over for birthday dinner. Many people who don't see each other during the Spring Festival take this opportunity to meet.

Some relatives and friends even came home by car from other places to eat this birthday meal, which aroused great concern and enthusiasm.

After dinner, the guests left in succession.

Counting the gift money, we received 24,800 yuan on the spot, plus each of our four brothers and sisters 10000 yuan, and a * * * received 64,800 yuan in gift money.

After deducting 20,000 yuan for catering, fruit snacks, red envelopes and firecrackers, there are 44,800 yuan in gifts.

My brother made fun of my dad, and you were busy, not counting our brother and sister's 40 thousand, but you earned 4800.

Dad said, "This is your mother's seventieth birthday, and many relatives and friends have asked for wine. Your mother is not well. She used to train you to study and suffered too much. "

"Besides, relatives and locals for so many years, we send money out, you are all outside, never do wine. By my 70th birthday, I will definitely stop making wine. "

My father is two years younger than my mother and will be 70 years old in two years.

Dad mentioned the distribution of the gift money, and everyone gave back 2,000 yuan to the younger sister, 3,000 yuan to the younger brother and 5,000 yuan to the older sister in the countryside.

"You all have two children to go to school, and there are many places to spend money in the city. Big sister is in the countryside and has a low income. She should retreat a little more. "

My sister and I both think that we don't have to refund the money. My mother is in poor health. She takes injections all the year round and spends 1 1,000 yuan a month. This expense is not small in rural areas.

My brother and sister-in-law also said they didn't have to return it.

The elder sister said: "Although I am in the countryside, my mother is only 70 years old and my brother is my son. It is appropriate to refund 5000 yuan to my son."

Brother, sister-in-law and elder sister quarrel, and no one can convince anyone.

Of the four brothers and sisters in my family, I am the eldest. Dad, let me talk.

"Don't divide men and women. Over the years, there has been no distinction between men and women in learning. My brother goes to college, and my sister and I can go to graduate school. Now my parents are old and need care and companionship. "

"I think, in addition to also elder sister 8000 yuan, the three of us will not also. There is something at home, and it is also shared by the three of us outside. How is Big Sister's work? "

Everybody's okay with it.

1. For the elderly, money and material security can make them have money to treat diseases, afford food and use it, and live with dignity. This is what children should do.

But more importantly, the children are filial, the family is happy, everything goes well at home, and the elderly are in good spirits and carefree. When they are old and weak, it is more important to have children to take care of them and consider their ideas than material and money.

My relatives and neighbors all envy my parents for being lucky when they are old. As we all know, their greatest blessing is that although my parents are from the countryside, they have never preferred sons to daughters.

Every life that is respected and treated well will not be disappointed, especially in sending children to school.

Sending children to read good books and be good people is the blessing of parents and children.
