I cut off contact with my cousin and uncle over inheritance dispute

I have cut off contact with my cousin and uncle because of my aunt-in-law. My paternal grandmother left most of her properties to my uncle, who is mute and deaf, and divided the rest among her children.

I only got a portion of what she gave her other grandchildren, including the uncle's son and daughter. My uncle’s family sold their land as soon as they received it to buy a car and build a house.

As land prices increased over the years, they grew resentful toward other families who held onto their inheritances, which are now worth VND1-2 billion (US$40,250-80,500).

They now demand a share of my inheritance, claiming they only received VND5 million from selling their plot, while my land is worth much more.

My uncle and his son got 83% of a 42-square-meter plot my grandmother left behind, while my portion is only 7 square meters. Nonetheless, my aunt-in-law often speaks ill of me, calling me greedy and encouraging my cousin to harass and insult me.

I feel like they are turning themselves into victims to extort and coerce others into doing what they want through threats and what they call "affection and family ties." This mindset likely stemmed from flaws in education.

What should I do in this situation?
