Ms. Lam is one of the heads of pig business households…

Ms. Lam is one of the richest pig business households in the village. When she was old, she had assets of up to 48,000,000 PHP. That’s why her children, everyone wants this money to belong to them. In order for his mother to divide his property, the 3 sons acted in a play to compete for property. They discussed definitely not to share it with their adopted sister

In Dong Phu village, Nghia Son district – a rapidly urbanizing countryside, there is a woman named Ms. Lam – who used to be the owner of the largest pig farm in the commune. In the 90s, when people were still raising small, Ms. Lam boldly borrowed capital, built barns, and hired workers. Over 30 years of working in the profession, she has accumulated a fortune of up to 48,000,000 PHP, not to mention land and gold and silver.

Her husband died early, she raised three biological sons, Thang, Cuong and Dung, alone. In addition, she also adopted an orphan girl named Hien – the child of a former hired worker who died in an accident while transporting pig bran for her. Hien has called her “mother” since childhood, lived in harmony, endured hardships, never dared to touch a dong in her house without permission.

Thang – the eldest son – works as a district official. Cuong – the second son – opened a fertilizer dealer. Dung – the youngest – finished grade 12, then went to work in construction and then went to Laos to export labor. Each person has a profession, a personality, but they all have in common that they all want their mother to divide their assets when she starts to weaken.

Seeing that Mrs. Lam was old, the three sons began to show unusual filial piety. Thang goes back to his hometown more, or buys tonics. Cuong hired someone to clean the house, while Dung installed air conditioning and security cameras around the house to “protect his mother”.

But it all has a purpose.

One October afternoon, the sky was overcast, and the wind was blowing cold. In the old fourth-grade house, Ms. Lam was lying on the bed, weak. The three sons sat next to each other, discussing the division of property.

– Mom should divide gradually, don’t let it be until we are no longer lucid, let us quarrel, – Thang opened.

– I don’t need gold and silver, just ask for the 2,000 square meters of land behind me to build a house – Cuong intervened.

“I’m worried that my mother won’t live long to sign papers, and it’s miserable for outsiders to jump in,” Dung said, glancing at Hien.

Hien was cooking porridge in the kitchen at that time, and his ears could still hear the chatter.

They were well prepared. They agreed on one thing: not to let Hien – the adopted daughter – be divided in any way.

For the next few days, they kept sowing malicious words in their mother’s ears:

“He secretly sells rice in the warehouse, you know?

– He’s close to the civil engineer to ask for a red book cut.

– He was going to take his mother to a mental hospital to sign a donation of property!

At first, Ms. Lam did not believe it. But her poor health, poor memory, and being “soaked in rain for a long time” by her children, she began to doubt Hien.

One evening, she called Hien in, her voice was weak:

“I ask you the truth, do you plan to divide any portions?”

Hien was stunned:

– I just hope you live well. You don’t need anything, Mom.

Mrs. Lam shed tears. But her heart began to be disturbed. In the red book, there is still Hien’s name as a member of the household registration. But Thang proposed: “Let me make my own book, separate the plot, I can conveniently carry out the procedures for transferring the name. You don’t have to worry about it.”

Ms. Lam hesitated…

A week later, the three sons made an appointment to “act”. They made a fierce argument in front of their mother, pretending that they could not agree on property. In the end, they said: “Well, give it all to the eldest brother to keep, and later the eldest brother will divide it up. And Hien is irrelevant, no trouble.”

Ms. Lam – in a coma of illness – agreed.

Thang hugged his mother and signed the papers. The property was gradually transferred to the name, each piece of land, each savings book.

Hien watched quietly, not blaming, not demanding. But in his heart, a fire of injustice has begun to ignite.

Two months later, Ms. Lam was admitted to the hospital in a slight coma due to a stroke. In the cold hospital room, the three sons took turns “taking care” of their mother, but mostly… supervised Hien. They were afraid that she would leave something for her.

No one knew that, half a year ago, Ms. Lam secretly made a notarized handwritten will. In which, she divided 10% of the property to each son, the remaining 40% to Hien. The reason she clearly stated:

“Hien is the only person who has taken care of me for the past 10 years. My sons are busy, but my adopted son doesn’t forget me for a day.”

The will was sent back to her personal lawyer named Hao, an old close friend of her husband.

When Ms. Lam died, the funeral was held simply. Everyone thought that the property belonged to Thang, the eldest son who was keeping the papers. But the turmoil began when lawyer Hao appeared at the family meeting, giving the original will with legal validity.

The three sons were dumbfounded. They strongly objected, saying that the mother was “tricked” while she was not lucid. But compare with medical records, videos of notarized dates, testimonies of witnesses – all of them are authentic.

The property dispute was brought to court. The press began to get involved. The story of “three biological children deceiving their mother to eliminate adoption” has become a hot topic on social networks.

In the end, the court declared according to the will. Hien – the daughter who was once excluded from the family – received most of the property. But she deducts half of that part to build a scholarship fund called “Ba Lam – Mother of the countryside”, helping poor students in the commune.

She stood in front of her mother’s grave, quietly:

“I’m not angry with you. But I believe you know, who loves you sincerely.
