Harry valued his family dearly, so he decided to fulfill his late grandmother’s wish to rebuild her house despite not having any money to spare. What he discovered inside the house surprised him and changed his life forever.
Harry and his brother Walter were called to the lawyer’s office after their grandmother passed away.
Walter was excited to receive the call, as he knew it would be about their grandmother’s inheritance.
When their grandfather died five years ago, Harry and Walter were left with nothing, and all of his wealth went to his beloved wife.
So, now that his grandmother had passed away, Walter was expecting everything to go to them.
Although they were only a year apart, Harry and Walter were very different.
Instead of relying on their family’s riches, Harry chose to strike up on his own and work hard for what he had.
Meanwhile, Walter always had his eyes on the prize. When his parents died, he knew that staying close to his grandparents would one day get him the inheritance he believed he deserved. He worked in the business his father left him and Harry, putting work above everything else.
Before their grandmother’s death, she asked them for one thing: “My dear grandsons, your late grandfather built this house for me when we were only starting out.
I have lived in it all my life, and you have had fond memories here, too. All I ask is for you to please rebuild it in your grandfather’s memory,” she said on her death bed.
“I promised him that the house he built for me would be passed on from generation to generation, and I want to fulfill that promise before I go. Please, do that for me,” she had told them.
Harry and Walter nodded, but only one was being genuine.
That day in the lawyer’s office, it was clear who had their grandmother’s interest at heart.
“Your grandmother leaves to both of you her house,” the lawyer told them. Walter was silent for a while, waiting for him to say more. When he didn’t, he decided to speak.
“What else?” Walter asked.
“Nothing else.
That is all that is in her will,” the lawyer told him.
“What?! That can’t be! What about all her money?
Her jewelry? I know she had a lot!” he screamed.
“We have already searched the house for any valuables, and none were found. She had already closed her bank account before she died.
This is all she had left,” the lawyer explained.
Still furious, Walter stormed outside the office with Harry following behind him. “We need to fulfill grandma’s wish,” Harry told his brother.
“For what? She won’t know that we didn’t waste any money rebuilding that old house.
I don’t want anything to do with that house. Do with it as you please,” Walter told him before driving away.
Harry wanted to fulfill his grandmother’s wish but knew he had no money. He had a lot of debt and only made enough money for his family’s necessities.
He decided to use his savings and borrow additional funding from his wealthy friend to rebuild his grandmother’s house.
While rebuilding it himself, he was fixing the sewage system in the front lawn when he noticed a wooden hatch as he dug the ground.
