A young woman and her mother were having a conversation about getting older, and the mother shared a story about her sister and her five daughters. The story highlighted how family members could go to great lengths to make easy money.
The woman’s aunt had five daughters who never really cared about their parents. When their father was very sick, they didn’t bother visiting him. They were always too busy or too far away, and they didn’t want to waste their time coming home.
As the father’s condition worsened, he became completely dependent on his wife. Despite having five daughters, the aunt took care of him by herself. Eventually, the father died, leaving behind some money for his wife.
When the daughters heard about their father’s inheritance, they began visiting their mother frequently. They were furious to find out that their father didn’t leave them anything, but they hid their anger and pretended to care for their mother. They wanted their share of the inheritance and started treating their mother like a queen, hoping she would give them the money.
The aunt noticed their true intentions and decided to use it to her advantage. She told her daughters that she would give the most deserving one a lump sum if they took good care of her until she died. The daughters eagerly agreed, thinking they would get the money soon.
The aunt lived a healthy and happy life after that, as her daughters competed to do all her chores and appointments. They treated her well but secretly wished for her to die soon so they could get her inheritance. They even complained about her behind her back.
One of the sisters often talked to the young woman’s mother about how she would spend her share of the money on a new house and vacations.
The sisters were all trying to win their mother’s favor, not knowing that she was aware of their true motives and was manipulating them. The aunt spent her last years in peace, knowing that she had outsmarted her daughters.
When the aunt finally passed away, her daughters were anxious to find out who would inherit her money. They were disappointed and shocked to learn that their mother had donated all her money to charity. She left each daughter a check to buy a new winter coat, making it clear that she knew they didn’t genuinely care for her.
