Besides, these articles sometimes to have the full story, maybe the man is a religious man and gambling is something that might be frowned upon and was trying to stick to his principles....whatever it is, give it time, the son will explain himself and they will find a way to agree on how to receive the monetary gift.
In this case, reading the whole story, one thing is clearly understood, except for the father, the other members of the boy's family are interested in keeping the money won by the bet. But the boy's father is not agreeing to spend his gambling money for the benefit of the family for some religious reasons. If you look at the boy's older brother's post, they only told the netizens that the gambling money is with his family should be spent. Moreover, the boy's mother is willing to spend the gambling money with the family because the boy's family still owes two months of house rent. If the boy spends the gambling money for family purposes, then his family will have a great life in the future.
Well, the won amount will surely create a big difference in their lives, but knowing his father is a devotee of his religion, then taking money from gambling is a big sin and such instances should never be tolerated. He might be lucky enough to gain such amount but if he will stick to what his father believes, everything will come into waste particularly his efforts put in gambling.
Why cant just the boy would simply hide those money that he had won and pretend that he had given it back or spend it all into gambling and lose it all? For sure his father would be at least be easing out that anger
about having those gambling wins on which there are really indeed people who are really that sticking into their principles in life specially if this one is attached to religion which is something not really that shocking nor surprising for them to stick out and wouldnt really be accepting even if this one would be talking some huge amounts which it would really be definitely be bringing up some good patches on their daily living considering that this amount is never been that small.
It is really just that sad to that boy is that he would really be definitely be having that emotional damage considering that he had thought that this might be causing for his father to be glad on what he did,
but somewhat he had instead getting the negative or the opposite on which he would likely be giving back those money which he would really be obeying on what his father had been telling on.
Well its situational because it would really be just depending on peoples principle, some might be considerate but there are some who would really be sticking.
