You are not required to investigate whether your brother received the same amount as your father or mother gave you. It is permissible for you to accept your parents' preference for you, as it is not considered contrary to justice among children. It is permissible for a parent to withhold a gift from a child due to their wickedness (fisq), and disobedience (uquq) is one of the greatest forms of wickedness. There is no disfavor in a parent preferring their dutiful child over a disobedient one.
