There seems to be a customary trend in society now: if you give birth to a boy, you should save money early to make plans for buying a house in the future, but if you give birth to a daughter, you can sit back and relax and wait for the child to grow up and get married.
I have to say that this kind of thinking actually has a hint of favoring boys over girls - after all, there is no law that stipulates that only boys can buy houses. But there are always some people who feel that their boys are noble and they have to use relatives' money to buy a house.
A netizen posted
A colleague told about her aunt’s family. Her aunt's family only has a daughter who has just graduated and works outside. Her aunt's eldest uncle has a son. They are about the same age, but this son works in their local area.
Some time ago, the eldest brother and his wife went to her aunt's house. They said they had no money to buy a house for their son and wanted some support from their younger brother and sister-in-law. They said that their daughter didn't need to buy a house anyway, and her daughter was working outside and couldn't take care of the family. The uncle will contribute some money to help his nephew buy a house. If anything happens in the future, his nephew will be able to help him and raise him like a half-son.
Neither her aunt nor uncle agreed, but they lent 50,000 yuan to her eldest uncle's family and asked them to issue an IOU. But what I mean privately is that if I don’t pay it back, I won’t pay it back. Although she said it as a joke, I was surprised that such a thing still exists now...
One-fifth of the 121st century has passed, but some people's minds are still stuck in the feudal era, and their children want to buy a house. Just because the younger brother has a daughter, the younger brother has to contribute part of the money. He also calls it "half a son" and "can provide for old age in the future." Many netizens on the
forum said that they had similar stories. Because there was no son in the family, or he was the most accomplished in the family, he became the unconditional target for other relatives to plunder, and other people also looked upright and confident, which made him unconditional. People are surprised.

I can’t count on my own son, but I still count on this so-called “half son”. I borrowed it and didn’t want to pay it back, so I said something about it.
@清清儿
Anyone who wants to be shameless can’t say this and says that before anything is done. This kind of relative is the most shameless, and we have also encountered it.

I could borrow money originally, but because of the second half of the sentence, "My daughter doesn’t need to buy a house anyway, and she can’t take care of her family outside," I won’t!
@yanning
In what age do you still have this kind of understanding? His son may not even support his own parents, so how can he let others take advantage of him?
@uhuhuhuhuh
If you have enough money, you can help. After all, we are brothers, but we must establish a written document and ask the other party to pay back the money.
Because the younger brother has a daughter and works outside the home, the elder brother asked the younger brother to pay part of the money to buy a house for the nephew on the grounds that the nephew would be filial to his uncle in the future. Is there anything similar happening around you?
