Tôi Tưởng Có Lương Hưu 20 Triệu Là Không Phiền Con, Ai Ngờ Vẫn Bị Coi Là Gánh Nặng

I'm 71 years old and receive a 20 million VND pension each month. I thought that since I had the money and could take care of my own medical expenses, food, and living costs, I wouldn't be a burden to my children. Since my wife passed away, I've been living with my youngest son and his wife. Every month, I give almost all of my pension to my daughter-in-law, hoping for peace in the house and that my children won't feel awkward because of their elderly father. But one evening, while getting a glass of water, I overheard my daughter-in-law saying something to my son that left me speechless: "The money is there, but you're still a burden." From that statement, old misunderstandings in the family began to resurface. The pension issue, the care of elderly parents, the daughter-in-law being wrongly accused, the son's prolonged silence… all gradually unfolded through an old notebook belonging to my deceased wife. This is a story about an ordinary Vietnamese family, revolving around old age, pensions, children, daughters-in-law, silence, and unspoken pain. There are elderly people who don't lack money, but lack a meal filled with love. There are daughters-in-law who are criticized, but behind it all are sacrifices no one sees. Please listen to this story: I thought having a pension would free me from burdening my children, but I was still considered a burden. If this story makes you think, please leave a comment: In your opinion, once elderly parents have a pension, is it still the responsibility of their children?
