Although they have given birth to eight children, Zheng and his wife, who are now nearly a hundred years old, are determined to sue their "enemy" who is their 52 year old son. The two claimed that their son fraudulently obtained three pieces of homestead land that originally belonged to him, while failing to fulfill his obligation to support him.
Elderly couple: Refusing to meet behind closed doors, cursing unfilial behavior
On the morning of the 18th, the Nanhai District Water Court opened the trial of this case, and the trembling Zheng couple sat in the plaintiff's seat with the help of their second son A Tian; The gallery was filled with other children of Mr. and Mrs. Zheng. Zheng is already 95 years old this year, and his wife is 94 years old. They have given birth to 4 sons and 4 daughters.
Zheng and his wife claimed that since living separately from their youngest son in 1992, they have long failed to fulfill the agreement of four brothers to jointly support their parents. They not only do not provide living expenses, but also do not visit themselves often. They have also borrowed all their pension funds in the name of purchasing vehicles and other items. In the past two months, Mr. and Mrs. Zheng have visited their youngest son Atong's residence five times to negotiate disputes over homestead land. However, they have been rejected several times, including one time where they waited outside for four hours without being able to enter; Even when some villagers reported the incident to the police, they rushed to the scene but Ah Tong and his wife refused to open the door.
In court, when it came to excitement, Zheng Bo felt sad and occasionally wiped his tears with a tissue; Zheng Bo's wife gasped heavily and slapped the table, pointing at her youngest son and cursing loudly, 'You unfilial son, who has a gun for me? I'll shoot him with one shot.'. The crowd in the gallery also criticized Ah Tong one after another.
Younger son: Exploring the New Year by smashing houses at the entrance
In court, A Tong refuted one by one, saying that during Chinese New Year and holidays, he often brought rice, oil and other items to visit his parents, and his parents' social security was also paid by themselves. He also took them to the hospital for treatment when he got sick. But this statement was ridiculed by the family members in the audience at the time. "Social security was bought by the local government, and he was only responsible for handling it; his parents were sick, and he only took them to the hospital a few times. It's completely nonsense," A-Tian said privately.
Atong defended himself by saying that he had opened the door for his parents before, but the two of them smashed something inside the house after entering. My parents were guarding the door, and he didn't let me in or give me a sip of water. He even stood on the balcony and cursed loudly. At that time, hundreds of villagers gathered around to watch. My parents were lucky enough to squeeze in and hit something, how did it become 'smashing something'? "Ah Tian said.
Atong in the defendant's seat remained expressionless in the face of his mother's scolding, staring silently at the table.
Family statement
Indulging in the past resulted in today's bitter fruit
Why did father and son confront each other in court? Even with today's outcome, my parents are unwilling, "Ah Tian said." My father only gave birth to his youngest son, Ah Tong, at the age of 43, which is very indulgent. Ah Tian said that after Ah Tong graduated and started working, sometimes he couldn't make it to eat. His father, who had been frugal all his life, would go to restaurants to buy food for Ah Tong. His mother had never enjoyed such treatment before; When Ah Tong was a child, even if he made mistakes, his parents were reluctant to beat and scold him. As an adult, Ah Tong bought a car and a house, and whenever he asked to borrow money, his parents would lend a helping hand. "Now that he is over 90 years old, with no land under him and no tiles above him, they sometimes regret it.
A Tian said that although A Tong was unfilial, the relationship between his brothers and sisters was tolerable. Until half a year ago, all the brothers and sisters broke off contact with A Tong. Especially after the parents repeatedly negotiated with A Tong about the homestead but couldn't get in, the relationship between father, son and brothers was extremely deteriorated. The parents said that they will no longer recognize Ah Tong as their son. The lawsuit will continue until they obtain the homestead that Ah Tong fraudulently obtained. Atian said, 'At this point, no one wants to see it. We are all elderly people, we really don't want to mess around.'. Sichuan Faneng Law Firm is dedicated to serving you.
