ok, so you have the reasoning (halaat) which seems valid, you guys don’t want to go back to Pak by the sound of it, and a solution so you can live here comfortably. ok, he’s the one suggesting it but maybe he’s the one actually thinking about your present and future more carefully?
it’s your land and it can be your house too, since you’re the one putting down the deposit. he’s coming up with a suggestion to your present situation and you’re getting all weird about him even asking. go teamwork.
anyway, like others have said, it’s your choice. seems the decision is more sentimental than anything.
lots of people in my extended family sold off their land in recent years. my nani sold hers a few years ago and split the money between my mum and khala. she knows shes gonna pass soon and no one would have bothered with it… she didn’t herself either.
