In traditional secular concepts, sons are the descendants who carry on the family line, and their parents' property should be inherited by their sons. However, if a son becomes a son-in-law, does the son still have the right to distribute his parents' property?
Some people say that once a son becomes a son-in-law, he will become an outsider just like a married daughter! However, Hu Chun from the village didn't think so. He felt that as a son-in-law, not only was he not an outsider, he also shared the burden and solved the problems for his parents, and he should distribute his parents' property.
Old Hu in the village has two sons, the eldest son Hu Chun and the youngest son Hu Qiu. The reason why one is called Spring and the other is called Autumn is because they were born in spring and autumn respectively. In today's era when it is difficult to find a wife, as an ordinary family, having two sons is not a good thing.
Lao Hu and his wife grow vegetables in the village. Hu Chun and Hu Qiu are both ordinary migrant workers with average incomes. Someone said to Lao Hu: According to the market for marrying a daughter-in-law, if your two sons marry a daughter-in-law, each wife will require a house, a car, and a bride price of 100,000 yuan. How much money do you need? You can't afford to marry two daughters-in-law even if you squeeze the oil out of the bones of your two old men. It's better to let one of your two sons go out to be your son-in-law to lighten the burden. Lao Hu thinks it makes sense.
Lao Hu recruited his eldest son to be his son-in-law, just like a married daughter, without spending much money. After that, Lao Hu concentrated on organizing the wedding for his younger son. When the younger son got married, he bought a house and a car in the city, and the younger daughter-in-law's family also asked for a bride price of 100,000 yuan. After organizing his younger son's wedding, Lao Hu not only emptied his family's money, but also owed a lot of debt. The old couple worked hard to earn money to pay off the debt.
years later, urban development expanded to Lao Hu’s village. Lao Hu’s house was relocated and two houses were acquired and two houses were built. After hearing the news, his eldest son Hu Chun came back and asked Lao Hu how to divide the village. Lao Hu said: You are a recruiter. The person who goes out to be a door-to-door son-in-law is not qualified to share the house, it all belongs to your brother! Hu Chun said: Your distribution is unfair. I am the eldest son. You recruited me as your son-in-law. It didn’t cost you anything. You bought a house and a car for your younger brother to marry a wife and gave you a bride price. Do the math and I will save it for you. How much did it cost? If I don't recruit you as my son-in-law, how much pressure will you feel? You should give me a house! Old Hu said angrily: If you want to divide the house, you can let your child's surname be Hu! Hu Chun said: A person must be honest. When he became the son-in-law, he promised that the child would take the woman's surname. How could he regret it now? Old Hu said: Anyway, I firmly believe that if your child is not named Hu, the house will not be given to you!
Hu Chun refused to leave and lived in Lao Hu's house every day. Lao Hu asked Hu Chun why he didn't leave. Hu Chun said: If you let my child change his surname back to Hu, the woman will definitely divorce me and I will have no wife. And parents, where can I live if I don’t live with my parents? Finally, my wife said to Lao Hu: The eldest son was obedient and went as soon as he asked him to be his son-in-law. This relieved our burden a lot. Besides, when the younger son got married, we bought him a house, and the two houses were also built. If the room is given to the younger son, it’s a bit much, so let’s give it to the eldest son! Lao Hu sighed and said: That was given to someone with a foreign surname! My wife said to Lao Hu: How can he say that the house was given to his own son and given to an outsider?
Lao Hu said to his eldest son Hu Chun: I will give you a house, but when your mother and I are old, you have to support us with your brother! Hu Chun said: It is a son’s duty to support his parents!
People who eat whole grains will inevitably get sick. Lao Hu was not really old yet, but he got a minor illness. However, he still had to stay in the hospital for a few days. Since his younger son was by his side, Lao Hu asked his younger son to take care of him. The younger son said: Give the house to your elder brother. That's right, why don't you find your elder brother? Never showed up again.The wife sighed and said to Lao Hu: The eldest son is obedient, and the younger son should have been recruited as a son-in-law! Old Hu said: With his virtue, he would be kicked out within a few days of being the son-in-law!
Lao Hu called his eldest son, and as expected, his eldest son came to the hospital to serve him. Lao Hu said to his eldest son: You are honest and obedient. It would be great if the child took the surname Hu! My wife angrily criticized Lao Hu: You know that surname all day long. Which surname can save your life?
Faced with the fact that his eldest son was waiting for Lao Hu in the hospital, relatives said: Your eldest son has lost too much and gained the least, but he is the most filial. Treat your eldest son well! Lao Hu sighed...
