I got money after cleaning out my parents' house

Hello/Good evening, this is Tonikaji.
I am cleaning out my parents' house again today, but the plumbing area was truly hopeless. Even in such a situation, I have a light in my heart, so I am managing to get by.
Today, I would like to talk about when that light shone in my heart.

I got money after cleaning out the house

My money increased after I did some cleaning

I talked about that the other day

When it increased before, it was a simple "increase" like "I made money by selling unwanted items✌" or "I found some secret savings inside a book✌",
but this time, I actually "received money".

The amount was 120,000 yen.

Why was I able to get such a large sum of money?

1. An account that my grandfather had set up in my name was unearthed

2. I closed the unearthed account

3. I put the money returned from closing the account to good use

That is how it happened.

And as for who gave me the money...

From whom?

It was from my older sister.

In a recent note, I wrote a little about having an older sister and how she has withdrawn from cleaning out our parents' house and dealing with our mother.

My sister has distanced herself from our parents' house, fed up with our mother's hoarding temperament.

Our relationship as sisters is normal, so we go on trips with her family, meet up at the park on a whim, get together because we want to have hot pot, or bring each other souvenirs,
we have that kind of normal relationship.

One day, I received a message saying, "I have something I want to give you, so I'm coming over," and when I went to greet her,
she handed me an envelope saying, "Take this,"
and when I looked inside wondering what it was,

120,000 yen

How much?

120,000 yen.

Wait, wait, wait, there are 12 ten-thousand yen bills here?? Sis, what is this???

You know that account information you dug up while cleaning?
Well,
when I closed it, the money came back.
This is just a small part of it. Please take it as a reward for your success.
I haven't done anything for the house.
I've just been watching you work so hard.
I wanted to at least give you this.

Wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait,
wait, wait, wait

Is it really okay for me to take this???

Is this money I should be accepting...?
Exchanging money between sisters and family... and such a large amount, over 100,000 yen...
While trembling inside, I accepted my sister's words.

"I've been watching you work so hard"

That's right. I am working hard.
I've cleared the hallway,

built a tower out of wedding favors,

counted the soaps,

I'm working hard. Yes. I'm working hard.

There were days I cried while cleaning.

Honestly, no one would blame me if I just gave up.

If I said, 'I can't do this anymore. I'm done,' no one would blame me.

Even so, I kept at it. I packed unwanted items into bags, took them out of the house, sorted them, broke down cardboard boxes and gift boxes, and kept at it, and kept at it.

I'm often praised on social media for 'working hard.' That is my motivation. I received that kind of encouragement from the person closest to me.

"Because you've been working so hard."

Along with 120,000 yen.

I got money for cleaning up.

I got money for cleaning up

I was just doing the work,
and I was just keeping at it hoping I might find a 1000 yen bill between the books, but

I got money!!

I have received my sister's wishes loud and clear. I am putting the money I received to good use.

Examples of effective use

I bought an outdoor storage shed

I bought a sheet to put on the bathroom floor

I bought a toilet seat

These were all places I thought, 'I'll do this eventually when I have the money...'
Since the financial block was lifted to some extent, I was able to get started right away.

From now on, I will continue to make good use of the money I received, keep cleaning, and keep making my house more wonderful!

Sister!! Thank you so much

I cleaned up, and I got money. That was the story.
