News, Chinese restaurant owners get a fortune. (London, object, easy)

[JD59]

LONDON (AP) — Think of it as a giant tip.
A wealthy widow repaid the kindness shown to her by a family that runs a Chinese restaurant she frequented by leaving them $20.3 million in her will — a gesture a High Court judge ruled perfectly legal Friday as he dismissed the objections of relatives.

Golda Bechal's 1994's will said she wanted Kim Sing Man and his wife, Bee Lian, the owners of a Chinese restaurant northeast of London, to inherit her money.

Good for her. She gave the money to people she loved. I'm sure her family didn't need it. From pictures, it didn't look like they were struggling. It's only money, after all. I don't think anyone should plan on inheriting money from family. You have to work and save with the idea that nobody is going to leave behind anything that will "rescue" you or make your life cush and easy.

In the Charles Dickens novel "Bleak House" the expectation of a forthcoming inheritance and fortune is what led to the ultimate demise of the character Richard Carstone.
