Son-in-law sells land to play stock market, mother-in-law stands still

At the party to leave her grandchildren, listening to Thang bragging about the “strategy” of stock investment in 2022, Ms. Hoa couldn’t help but be annoyed. Just last month, Hoa’s daughter burst into tears when she learned that her husband played the stock market and lost 500 million dong. Obviously, Thang has no experience and knowledge about financial investment but just risked his life to pour money into it.

Hoa has to worry too, because the money that Thang is using to invest is her life’s savings of sweat and tears. Unfortunately, she called to advise her son-in-law, but Thang still insisted that the stock market would “recover”, Thang would recover both capital and interest in a few months.

Two years ago, Hoa’s daughter got married without a stable job. Afraid that her children would have to work hard and have no voice in the family, so she and her husband discussed giving their children the land as a dowry.

Just married for a few months, the son-in-law has negotiated with his wife to sell Hoa and her husband’s land for their own daughter (Illustrated photo)

This land was bought from the money saved for decades by the husband and wife. To be sure, you must complete the procedure to transfer the land use right to your daughter’s name before you get married. On the wedding day, between the officials of the two families, Hoa and her husband proudly handed over the red book to their children.

After the wedding, the couple rented an inn in the city so that the son-in-law could easily go to work. But a few months later, Thang also quit his job at the company to freely invest in business. Using the excuse that his wife was pregnant, but staying in a cramped apartment, Thang took him back to his grandmother’s house to ask Hoa to take care of his wife.

She did not know what Thang was doing in the city but saw his son-in-law showing off to everyone that he was about to buy a car. By the time Hoa knew it was over, the daughter had sold the land her parents gave her and gave the money to her husband.

Last year, the real estate price was high, so the land was priced, it was heard that the sale price was nearly 2 billion dong. Worth mentioning, the amount of land sold Thang has full control, Thang’s wife is busy taking care of her children, so she doesn’t know anything. Hoa was even more frustrated when Thang used that money to buy a car, save money in a bank, and invest in securities.

She blamed her daughter for being shallow, her parents gave her a dowry, but she sold it on her own while the house was not available. Her daughter is still angry and defends her husband: “Parents give children the same as for him, it’s our right to do whatever”.

I know her daughter is superficial, not thinking about being far away, she is just worried that if her marriage fails, she will be empty-handed. Recently, husband and wife and children quarreled continuously, and Hoa wondered more and more.

Although she loved her children very much, but after the party leaving her grandchildren, Hoa had to say that Thang took his wife and children to the city to live so that the whole family could stay close to each other. She wants her son-in-law to be responsible for taking care of the small family, but can’t just rely on her grandmother’s house.

She consoled herself, the money from the sale of the land was considered for her husband and children to start a business. But every time I listen to the news about the stock market, I feel like sitting on a fire.
