Linda Receives Grandma’s Old Clocks & Greedy Brother Gets House, Turns Out She Got Almost $200K

 

In this touching story, two siblings, Brian and Linda, respond to a call from their ailing grandmother, Marlene, who wishes to see them one last time. Brian, the older brother, inherits their grandmother’s house, while Linda is left with five rusty old clocks. Initially dismissive, Brian mocks Linda for receiving such a seemingly worthless inheritance, revealing his greedy nature.

When they arrive, Linda finds Marlene frail and living in poor conditions. Remembering her past sacrifices to care for her grandmother, Linda is determined to help her feel better. Marlene gifts both grandchildren $5,000, but Brian is dissatisfied, showing his lack of gratitude. Linda, touched by her grandmother’s kindness, decides to add her own savings to help fund Marlene’s eye surgery, only for Marlene to decline it, sensing her own impending death.

Linda takes a month off from school to support her grandmother. She renovates Marlene’s house, bringing joy back into her life. Marlene is deeply moved by Linda’s efforts and expresses her wish to di:e happy, which sadly comes true shortly after their renovations.

After Marlene’s funeral, Linda and Brian learn about her will. Brian is thrilled to inherit the house, while Linda receives the clocks. Unfazed by Brian’s mockery, Linda leaves for the city with the clocks, not realizing their hidden value. One day, she discovers an engraving instructing her to open one of the clocks, revealing a note that informs her the clocks are rare antiques worth $40,000 each.
