Eldest son: “Your parents raised you up”
Now, the mother’s physical condition is also deteriorating, and she has been missing her youngest son, whom she has not seen for many years.

In the video, you can see the eldest son coming to find the younger son and saying: “Did your mother give birth to you for 10 months? Can you grow up without the support of your parents? You can’t forget your roots as a person. You can go home and take care of you.” You can’t just ignore them for a few days.” He also mentioned that even if you have objections to your parents, you should still fulfill your filial piety.
However, the younger son not only refused to let the elder son in, but also responded coldly at the door: “Whoever owns property should bear the responsibility of providing for the elderly .” He could not bear this responsibility and insisted, “I can’t find parents like that. Accept” .
Netizens support younger son
Out of anger, the eldest son uploaded the video of the argument between the two to the Internet. It quickly became a hot topic on Weibo and triggered discussions among many netizens.
However, most netizens supported the younger son’s approach and said:
- If you don’t go, your parents should have thought of this outcome
- If you don’t go, you won’t go, you won’t go. What the old man did is disgusting.
- This gift is also an unqualified brother. Even if your parents gave you the house, you shouldn’t have both. Family love is priceless. What qualifications do you have to find your younger brother with this gift?
- These parents are so mean. They treat their own children like this and create conflicts for their children. It’s so unfair.
- Justice is in people’s hearts. Parents favor the older ones. No wonder the younger ones have opinions. Why are you here if they don’t go?
Do you think the younger son did this right? Or should we repay our parents without grudges for raising them?
