An old man in Hubei had a difficult and struggling life. His ancestors worked hard and built a wooden house. This house was passed down from generation to generation and he currently lives there. However, due to local planning requiring the house to be demolished, the old man asked an expert to evaluate it. Because he believes that the family’s house was built many generations ago, it is likely that it is an ancient house.
His grandfather was originally from a poor household in the Hubei mountains. This area is far from the city center, transportation is not convenient. Contact with the outside world is also quite difficult.
His family’s life is mainly self-sufficient. He lived by farming, his whole life bowing his face to the ground. With his current income, he cannot support his family. His children also had to fend for themselves. The old man’s family life was extremely difficult. Later, he learned that the government had a policy to support poor households, so he applied for poor households. Every month, he received a stipend and his life improved a little.
However, the money is only enough for daily expenses, there is no savings. Days passed, his son grew up and reached the age to get married. He didn’t even have enough money to organize his child’s wedding. Therefore, even though the son liked her, he did not dare tell his father that he wanted to get married and chose to continue living alone.
Later, his children realized they could not continue living like that, so they decided to go out to work. He is the only person left in the house, receiving a monthly living allowance and taking care of his old house.
Realizing that many houses on the mountain were degraded and dangerous due to wind and rain, the local government made a plan to dismantle and rebuild them to help people.
After a psychological struggle, he decided to demolish the house. And before demolition, he sought an expert to appraise the value. Because he knows this is a house that has been passed down for many generations and has a history of hundreds of years.
At first, the experts did not take the house seriously. But as soon as they entered, they were stunned, their faces full of excitement.
They determined that the valuable thing about the house is not “seniority” but the materials used to build it. Experts say that this house was built with precious yellow-grained virgin wood, an endangered endemic tree species. Therefore, this house is estimated to be worth 800 million yuan (more than 2.6 trillion VND).
Yellow-grained virgin wood is expensive because it is rare in quantity and very difficult to shape. In ancient times, golden virgin mandarin was used by royal nobles. The old man was extremely stunned when he learned the true value of the house.
Have you thought a lot about whether you should sell your house for money? If you do that, you will live happily all your life. But it was the house left by his ancestors, containing so many sweet memories, so he couldn’t bear it. Finally, the old man decided to donate the house to the state.
He thought that this way, the house could be better protected, and moreover, it was not safe for the elderly to own such an expensive house.
After that, the local government turned the golden-grained Trinh Nam wooden house into a tourist destination. At the same time, the government also created a support policy for the old man’s family to help him escape from difficult circumstances. Thanks to that, his life also improved a lot. Sometimes when he is sad, he can visit his old house and stay there for a few days to review his memories.
