A blogger writes, “My coworker has been venting to me that her mother is 65, been retired for 10 years, and has 2 million RMB in savings, and owns three houses. She suggested that if her mom gives her one of those houses and 700K of her savings, she can take care of her mom in old age. But her mom insists that all of her savings and real estate are going to go to the coworker’s brother. But because the brother’s wife refuses, he can’t have his mom live with them. So now, her mom is living alone and has high blood pressure, so the coworker is really worried that something will happen. She’s even thought about taking care of her mom without anything in return, but her husband is strongly against it. Her husband is very clear that your mom is very comfortably well off. If your brother wants to enjoy all of the inheritance, than he should take on all the work. There’s no reason why he should get all the benefits, and you get all the responsibility.” OP has told her coworker that her husband is right. Perhaps some people will blame you for not being filially pious, but maybe people should consider that it was her mom who wronged her first. Grown ups need to take responsibility for their decisions. OP finishes by asking what people would do if it was their mom.
Hi!

Could we know who is the author of the Hua Mulan short story?
Thank you!
