"When I get rid of the old lady, her room will be mine." A 90-year-old lonely grandmother who was frail and sick signed an agreement with a famous lawyer in her neighborhood to "house for the aged", but 11 years later, the lawyer regretted the original decision.
This grandmother's name is Jenny Carr, this old man is not simple, give away a house, but earn back this house worth three times alimony, how did she do it?
Jenny, a 90-year-old French lady, went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables that day and stopped her lawyer River, who was going to work: "Can I ask you something?" Lawyer River," the lawyer who was in a hurry to go to work immediately stopped: "Aunt Jenny, do you need my help with something?" ”
Seeing the old man in front of him, the lawyer recognized it as a neighbor downstairs. Through the old man's telling lawyer, I learned about the current situation of the old man.
Jenny, who has been rich since childhood, grew up with her parents, met her husband through the introduction of her family, and her husband fell in love with the beautiful Jenny at first sight, and then launched a passionate pursuit, and the two entered the marriage hall a year later.
Her husband's family was wealthy, and Jenny lived the life of Mrs. Kuo after marriage, and she never worked.
Having a daughter two years after marriage, Jenny thought that the family of three would be so successful, but she did not expect bad luck to come one after another.
In 1934, the 35-year-old daughter contracted lung disease and died suddenly, leaving the 60-year-old Jenny and his wife in pain, fortunately accompanied by their grandson and son-in-law, but in 1942, 77-year-old Jenny's husband died of ineffective rescue due to accidental ingestion of pesticide cherry poisoning, and also left her.
Unfortunately, in 1963, his only relatives, son-in-law and grandson were also killed in a car accident.
Jenny, who is 90 years old, looks around, there is no relative, but the reality of the problem Jenny must face, in addition to this apartment, the deposit has been almost spent.
After listening to Jenny's story, an idea immediately flashed in the lawyer's mind: "Aunt Jenny, I will think of a way for you, so that I will give you a pension, and as a reward you will give me the house." Just use the house for the elderly. ”
After listening to the lawyer's words, the old man immediately refused: "I don't want to sell the house, how can I give it to you directly, I asked its value, 300,000 pounds." ”
After listening to the old man's worries, the lawyer continued: "Specifically, I will pay you a pension fee every month, take you to your home to accompany, the house is still yours before you die, and it will automatically be transferred to my name after you pass away." ”
After hearing this, the old man thought for a while: Lawyer Rever is a well-known lawyer from near and far, and this agreement can also protect his future life, and then replied: "Okay, I agree to sign this agreement." ”
In this way, the 47-year-old lawyer and 90-year-old Jenny signed an agreement to provide housing for the elderly: the lawyer paid Jenny a pension of 2,000 pounds a month, let Jenny live in her own home, only to sleep at night and go back to her home, until Jenny died, the house automatically owned by the lawyer.
The lawyer mentally calculated that Jenny was already weak and sick at the age of 90, and according to the age of longevity, it was remarkable to live for another ten years, and this agreement was also a steady profit.
Unexpectedly, the signed agreement also opened the second life of Old Man Jenny.
Without the economic bondage, the old man is physically and mentally happy, listening to the children's grandmother's cry, the old man's face is happy, and his heart is extremely comforting.
At the age of 85, he also competed in fencing, and at the age of 100, he could still ride a bicycle out in circles.
At the same time, the lawyer's integrity and trustworthiness were spread throughout the town, and people were more willing to seek him out for their own lawsuits. The lawyer has not only won a reputation for integrity, but also reaped business success.
Looking at Jenny, who is still healthy at the age of 101, the lawyer has mixed tastes, and the pension paid at this time has exceeded the value of the house. I can't help but regret my decision.
Until Jenny was 117 years old, her health began to deteriorate,
So she quit smoking and was admitted to a nursing home until 1994, when she developed a series of illnesses in all aspects of her body.
Unexpectedly, in the second year of the nursing home, the lawyer also moved in, and the two seemed to go back 27 years.
The old man said helplessly: "Because I have lived for too long, I am very sorry for the great pressure that your family faced." ”
The lawyer disagreed: "I will fulfill the agreement when I sign it." After all, I am also greedy for your house, don't worry, aunt, I will also send the pension to your account on time every month. ”
The old man was moved after hearing this, and he was glad that he had met an honest and trustworthy lawyer.
Unexpectedly, the 78-year-old lawyer was diagnosed with cancer in a nursing home and died shortly after, not living Jenny in the end.
His wife did not refuse to support the elderly because of her husband's death, and accepted her husband's dying wish, and still paid the old man's pension every month until the old man's death.
Jenny lived 122 years and 164 days and enjoyed the title of "World's Oldest", and the contract that lasted for more than three decades was finally settled.
No one expected that this seemingly "stable profit" agreement would end up losing a lot, and the total amount of pensions paid by lawyers for more than 30 years was three times the value of the house.
The lawyer only saw the premature death of the old man's family, recognized this decision to make a steady profit, but ignored the longevity genes of the old man's family and made a decision that he regretted.
According to the reporter's interview, the old man's father, mother, and brother have lived for a long time, and the old man can't remember how long.
When asked what the secret of longevity is, the old man said that it is actually very simple, eating 2 pounds of chocolate a week, smoking and drinking Bordeaux wine for a long time, often putting some olive oil in food and smearing it on the body.
In this way, the living habits of the elderly are not all good.
It has to be said that the longevity of the elderly is not accidental.
The house left by the old man's husband, the longevity genes of the family, and the faithful promise of the lawyer family, it is these necessary conditions that create the legend of Jenny at the age of 122.
Jenny's story is full of drama.
Some people say that lawyers lose a lot of money, and with their own cleverness, they give away half of their life's hard work.
Others say it's called an equivalent exchange, and if grandma dies within a few years of signing the agreement, wouldn't the lawyer make a lot of money
I thought it was a steady business, but I didn't expect to spend twice as much money to buy a house, is it lucky or unfortunate for River?
