Linda Inherits Grandma’s Old Clocks & Greedy Brother Gets House, Turns Out She Got Almost $200K – Story of the Day

Brian, 26, scoffed at his younger sister Linda, 19, as they visited their ailing grandmother Marlene. “Oh, so grandma called you too? I thought you’d be busy in the library!” he mocked.

When they arrived, Marlene handed each of them an envelope with $5,000. Linda cried, while Brian scoffed, thinking it was too little.

The next day, Linda returned, determined to help her grandmother. She added her own savings and suggested using the money for Marlene’s eye surgery. But Marlene shook her head, sensing her time was short. Instead, Linda spent the money renovating Marlene’s home, bringing back its former beauty.

One week later, Marlene passed away peacefully, leaving Linda heartbroken. At the reading of the will, Brian inherited the house, while Linda received five old clocks. He laughed, belittling her gift.

Distraught, Linda returned to the city, only to discover an engraving inside one clock: “OPEN IT!” Inside, she found a note revealing that the clocks were rare antiques worth $40,000 each.

“Everyone gets what they truly deserve,” it read. Tears filled Linda’s eyes as she realized her grandmother’s love had guided her choices.

Choosing not to tell Brian, she locked the clocks away. “Let him think he won,” she thought. “Granny knew who truly deserved the best.” And with that, Linda felt a comforting connection to her grandmother, knowing she had inherited more than just clocks; she had received wisdom and love.
