Devoted to his wife’s family but not listed in the red book of inheritance

Due to business problems, I discussed with my wife the mortgage of the house to borrow more capital. My wife agreed, but when I asked her to give me the red book to go through the loan procedures at the bank, she hesitated. My wife said, I have many things to do, so let her contact me for a loan, as long as there is money in my account at the end of the month. I was a bit worried but still let my wife take care of it.

One morning, I accidentally found a loan application file in the drawer at the dressing table when I was looking for my car keys, so I opened it. I was surprised to see that the owner’s name on the red book only had his wife’s name, not mine.

Over the years, I have taken care of all the chores of my wife’s family, caring for her parents-in-law (Illustration image)

At that time, my wife came into the room to see me standing there dumbfounded, holding a new file in my hand, frantically explaining: “I plan to tell you when I’m done.” I asked: “When did you transfer the name of the red book without me knowing”. His wife stammered: “Mom said you don’t need to tell me, just me in my name.” Hearing those words, I suddenly felt a sense of disappointment in my heart.

I lived in a remote province, returned to the city, studied at university, got a job, got married. My wife is my college classmate. Her personality is gentle, somewhat weak. The wife’s family has three sisters, the wife is the youngest child in the family. When we got married, my two older sisters were married, so my wife’s parents wanted me to stay.

I didn’t mind it because it got along well with my father-in-law even though I had bought an apartment in the suburbs with the money I had accumulated and my parents helped me with. When my wife gave birth to two children in a row, the house became cramped. My wife’s parents suggested that I sell the apartment I’m renting, and contribute money to rebuild a new spacious and spacious house for the whole family to live in.

At that time, I did not think much, so I agreed to sell it to get money to build a house. Besides, during the conversations, the father-in-law said he wanted to ask me to take care of the worship because he did not have a son. The new three-storey house was not finished when the father-in-law fell ill and passed away.

Before that, he made a will to leave land to his children. The sisters received the land elsewhere, we personally received the land and real estate we were living in, shouldering the responsibility of taking care of our parents and taking care of our worship.

His father-in-law told him that this land was left to him by his ancestors, only for living, but absolutely not for sale. The wife’s sister and her husband, in turn, made their own red book and then sold the land, and my wife said that we live in, so we can slowly change the name. It was not until I saw the red book that I knew that my wife had silently transferred the book without telling me anything.

When I asked, my wife honestly said that the intention was arranged by her mother. My mother-in-law does not want me to be in the joint name, because if the husband and wife get divorced, I will not be able to dispute the property division. The reason she gave was because the land of incense was not sold, so be on guard. When I heard that, my heart was filled with real disappointment.

During 12 years of being a husband, I have never had a problem with my wife’s family, even taking care of my wife’s parents more than my own. When my father-in-law was seriously ill, bedridden, I was alone in cleaning and bathing every day. When he died, I also took care of everything for the beautiful grave. Every New Year, the husband and wife celebrate Tet at their grandmother’s house, then return to their homeland.

Even the money to build a house, I also took most of the money to sell the apartment, my wife’s parents only contributed a small part. I do not calculate because I know the pension of the father-in-law is low, and the mother-in-law has no salary. Since the day my father-in-law died, my wife and I have taken good care of our mother and the sisters only occasionally come back to play.

Every time, when relatives come to visit me and praise me for being good and taking care of things like a son in the family, my mother-in-law hinted that when I accept the house inheritance, I have the responsibility to take care of the wife’s housework.

When my mother knew that I found out that the red book only had my wife’s name on it, she quickly explained: I did this to make the inheritance procedure less complicated, if my mother died later, just add my name. When I listened to my mother’s explanation, I only laughed because I knew that my mother-in-law was lying.

I don’t blame my wife, because I know she just follows her mother’s arrangement. What I am sad about is the behavior of the mother-in-law. How many years she lived with us. Currently, she also has no income, completely dependent on her children.

My wife was afraid that I would get angry, she set a date to redo the procedure to transfer land ownership to the couple right away. But I said let’s see what she means. I don’t want my wife and mother to be confused, because being on the red book with me right now only makes legal sense, and the feelings have lessened a lot.
