My mother sold the land for 500 million VND for me to study, now the land price has increased to 5 billion, and my salary is only 5 million/month.
Parents always want to give the best for their children, so that their children are equal to friends, not inferior to anyone. Especially when it comes to education, parents consider this the most valuable investment they can save, saving every penny and even sacrifice in various ways so that their children can have a bright future.
However, one thing worries many parents, especially in not-so-wealthy families, they all worry about: investing their entire fortune to send their children to school, not knowing how “warm-up” their studies will be. a lot, but the payoff I get is only the days I buried my face at work, the salary that was sent back was not much, plus the previous debt that had accumulated since I borrowed money to send my children to school.

My mother has been a farmer all her life, working hard early in the morning to take care of me finishing 12th grade. I passed the university entrance exam, she was very happy but tears kept flowing.
Then, my mother sold 1000m2 of land for 500 million, saving it to pay for my college in Hanoi. Mom says my whole life is dark, I have to learn to be human to have a stable job.
I rushed to study, sometimes working as a tutor to earn extra pocket money. Then I also graduated from school, intending to return to my hometown to apply for a job near my mother, but I didn’t have the money to run a job, so I decided to stay in Hanoi.
When I first graduated, I ran for money to cover accommodation and daily living expenses. After that, I applied to be an employee of a small company with a salary of 5 million/month. This salary is only enough for my daily expenses, I have not made any money to give to my mother.
Yesterday, when I returned to my hometown to visit my mother, she was pleased to know that I had a relatively stable job. Mom says my life is difficult, now I see you, I feel safe.
Or believe me, some neighbors come to play. After the conversation, they asked about my situation. Someone asked about my salary but I’m not interested in sharing this.
A neighbor said, the land that my mother sold before, has now increased to 5 billion. Recently, people just resell, sometimes the price will go up because the land sticks to the road surface.
My mother just smiled and said nothing. But I kept thinking. Because for a long time, I have been thinking of spending the money to buy back land for my mother. But if I work like now, even though my salary increases to 20 million/month, I still can’t afford to buy the land.
I feel guilty and very sad about this.

Recently, the Lam An District People’s Court, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang just adjudicated a dispute over school fees for children, following a divorce. Previously, in July, the court accepted the lawsuit filed by Ms. Khau, Truong’s ex-wife, asked him to pay 100,000 yuan (VND 328 million) for their children’s education.
Initially, Mr Truong and his wife, Ms. Khau, were businessmen and state-owned companies. When house prices are low, they put together to buy 3 houses in Lam An, Hangzhou. Many people were envious of the achievements they had accumulated. But since their daughter, Tieu Ngoc, entered the artistic path, everything changed.
His academic performance is not good. Mrs Khau saw that her daughter liked the bamboo flute and was “gifted” so she discussed with her husband getting his son to follow the artistic path. The ancients said “use poverty to raise sons, use wealth to raise daughters”, so they would do anything for Tieu Ngoc.
Since Tieu Ngoc was in junior high school, he and his daughter went to Beijing to rent a house, learn culture and arts from a famous teacher. After that, he applied for a sabbatical from work, and then sold two houses to invest in his children.
Only Mr Truong is working, unable to bear the increased training costs and the many expenses his daughter has incurred. In order to make more money, he invested in stocks, had a period of big wins, but ultimately failed, owed more than one million yuan.
As for Tieu Ngoc, because of his love for art, his grades in cultural subjects are getting worse and worse. When his son was in high school, he had to sell his third house to pay for school fees.
Moreover, Mr Truong and Mrs Khau have been separated for a long time. Conflicts and differences keep them from finding a common voice. In 2017, Mr Truong and Mrs Khau’s marriage ended. Every month, he provides a child support of 2,000 yuan until Tieu Ngoc becomes independent.
“For the past ten years, my biggest thoughts have been for my children. But in the final deal, it was only ‘2,000 yuan per month’,” Zhang said sadly.
What made Mr Truong sad was that when he divorced, his daughter sided with her mother. Even a phone call to hear your child’s voice is a luxury. “I became a moneymaking machine for my daughter. But in her eyes, at the end of the day, there is only mother,” she laughs to herself.
Tieu Ngoc’s academic record was very poor. Prior to this year’s university entrance exams, Ms. Khau wanted to invest in a “sprint” course for her son, with a tuition fee of 200,000 yuan (nearly 700 million VND). But in the end, Tieu Ngoc still couldn’t get away.
However, Ms. Khau thinks her ex-husband should pay for half of her daughter’s training and asks Mr. Truong to endure the same. Truong disagreed, so he was sued. In the end, the court ruled that 200,000 yuan was not a necessary tuition fee, and Zhang was not obligated to pay it.
Even though he won the case, he couldn’t be happy. Due to his daughter’s education, unexpectedly, the couple eventually separated, and Mr Truong became a loner. “The biggest mistake of my life was selling 3 houses to raise my rich daughter and letting her pursue art,” Truong complained in court.
Therefore, families need to rethink carefully, so that their children can learn to be more independent and control themselves in their lives. It is the lessons and stumbling blocks in life that become valuable things that help students become wise and elite in all areas of life, not just the academic knowledge gained in class. .
Knowledge can be obtained in various ways, not only through exchanging large sums of money, then the family falls into poverty, and then both children and parents become difficult, I don’t know who to judge!
