-I’m sick of hearing her stories about her relatives! -She’s our neighbor, can you listen to her? – my husband asked. -She always says the same thing. Alina is a patient and calm girl, but not in relation to her neighbor Sara. And her husband did not understand why. At one time they were family friends. Sara is fifteen years older than Alina. When her parents were gone, Sarah and her two sisters began to share the house. It seemed that everything should go smoothly, because they decided to sell the house and divide the amount among the three of them. But there was a conflict.
Alina didn’t know the details, but she had heard from her grandmother that Sarah had asked to stay in the house because she was having problems and promised to pay the money back when it was resolved. The sisters agreed and officially renounced the inheritance. What happened next, Alina does not know exactly. But she guesses that Sara still hasn’t paid them back. She often visited Alina and complained about her relatives: “They have completely forgotten about me. They don’t call, don’t write, don’t talk to me. They are not interested in anything except money.
Well, of course, you promised to return! But no, all bad, unkind, only she is good. – Here I wanted to call them, – she continued, – I do not have enough money to maintain the house, they should also take part, it’s not just my house? – How so? They said no. – So what if they said no? It’s their house too! They grew up here, it’s their father’s house. Don’t they care? – They must have been offended because you had to pay them back, you promised.
– First of all, they made the agreement, no one forced them. Secondly, I said that I would return the money when I had it, and I still don’t have it. It’s a shame to sell this house just to give them their shares. Where would I live then? Of course, no one thinks about me, only the money. Alina looked at her husband. He was sitting there with that face. His look said that he understood everything and would no longer wonder why his wife was not happy about Sara’s visits.
