After Grandma’s Death, Brothers Mock Younger Sister for Inheriting Just a Pair of Old Chairs – Story of the Day
|Three brothers fought over the inheritance when their grandmother died, but their young sister, Terri, was just sad about the older woman’s passing. Eventually, she received two old chairs and her brothers made fun of her. But Terri discovered something shocking inside those chairs.
“And finally, my antique terracotta chairs go to Terri. I hope you overlook how worn they are and see their true value someday,” Mr. Samberg, the lawyer, read. He was in charge of executing Grandma Mary’s last will, and she had bequeathed several things to her four grandchildren, Paul, Oliver, Peter, and Terri.
According to the lawyer, the three brothers would get their grandmother’s house and the money in her bank accounts, and Terri would inherit the chairs. So, when he finished reading the will, Paul immediately cackled in delight. “HA! All that buttering up you did with Grandma didn’t work! All you get are two measly chairs that aren’t worth anything,” Paul snickered evilly and looked at his brothers.

Oliver nodded and laughed too. “Don’t you regret all that wasted time? Those chairs will look lovely in your modern apartment,” he sneered, and Peter joined in the mocking. But Terri ignored her older brothers.
“Unlike you three, I loved our grandmother. I just wanted to spend time with her. And I’m glad I don’t have to figure out how to divide anything with you people,” Terri scoffed at her brothers as they all left the lawyer’s office.
A few days later, Terri went to pick up her chairs, and the brothers were there. They laughed as she carried them to her SUV to take them to her house in suburban Montana. But she had been honest with them. This inheritance was better than dealing with selling a home or dividing money between them. Terri knew the three brothers were going to tear each other apart in that regard.
The terracotta chairs were nothing to write home about, in all honesty. The upholstery was worn and stained, unfortunately. But Terri had several fabrics at home that could work perfectly and make the chairs fit into her home décor. So, she pulled up some YouTube videos about restoring upholstery and learned how to do it herself.

She started with one chair and used a pair of big scissors to cut the fabric around the edges, careful not to damage the wood, which was surprisingly in pristine condition. But something odd came out unexpectedly....
