They Want My Money... OOPS! | r/ProRevenge | #341

hey everybody Rob here it's time for a story from the pro revenge archives they want my money oops let's jump right in hit that subscribe button for more daily reddit stories while you're sitting at home and learning what it's like to be an introvert just like me this isn't my story but is the story of a departed uncle rest in peace Hodge backstory in World War 2 my uncle Hodge was an engineer with the RAF he rapidly climbed the ranks and ended up being the head engineer at a local base after the war he met his wife of 45 years Eve it was the typical post-war relationship without children though due to complications he quickly found a job at our village coal mine know locally as the pit he went from engineer to Foreman very quickly the man had a knack for leadership that's for sure he and Eve some of his RAF buddies and his sister my grandmother often went to Spain for holidays at least once a year before they all retired after that whenever they felt like it the family the unfortunate truth is that family isn't always nice my grandmother was his only surviving direct family Eve on the other hand had a large family very large the trouble with large families is that often there's a few bad eggs in this case it was quicker to count the good ones as Hodge would put it the trouble with eggs is you can only tell the good ones by spinning him quick or dunking them in water I don't fancy going to prison more often than not Eve's family would drop by and ask to borrow money not from Eve she had none Hodge had always been industrious saving as much as he could and only really spending what he had to other than the holidays of course the incident when I hit eighteen legal drinking age in the UK he took me for my first beer as my dad worked nights and had to sleep he didn't drink which was uncommon for him as he was a regular at the working men's club we were in Hodge how come you're not drinking I can't in good conscience drink your money without you getting a sniff well I suppose one can't hurt don't tell nip his name for my grand Shelagh but I've just been diagnosed with diabetes type 2 I don't want to take any chances I'll keep your secret but you need to tell her just on the off chance I'll tell her in good time kiddo now get it down before it goes flat neither of us took much notice to the people around us so we didn't notice Eve's nephew in the corner five years pass I've seen him a few times less than I'd like because of work and him going overseas the buildup I visited my grandparents one day to find my grandmother sobbing with Hodge sat on the sofa put the kettle on kid I need to tell you something I make a coffee for gran and granddad hot chocolate for me and green tea for Hodge now listen up I've not got long on this wretched planet but you're not to cry over me I've been diagnosed with late stage cancer and couldn't be happier to be leaving to gran sorry nip I know you don't want to hear this but it has to be said you and yours will be looked after of course but you're not to tell even her family to everyone I've made up a new will I want everyone to go to the reading I've prepared a little gift for the family shortly after this chat we found out he passed away we kept it from my grandmother that he'd taken his own life it did destroy her let it be said that Hodge was always a man independent of others he made his choice so gran wouldn't suffer seeing him deteriorate over time the revenge we went to the reading as a family like he asked it's the only thing he ever asked of us we'd seen people we never met never even heard of so of course there were some sullen scowls across the table lawyer now that we're all here please watch this video Hodge has a message for you all Hodge from beyond now then I imagine this will be a shock to most of you but I had cancer if you're watching this I want you to know that some of you made my last few years pleasant others well we'll get to you to my side of the family not one of you came to me asking if I was alright or wanted anything doing instead you asked if I wanted a hand with anything for this I thank you I never had anyone do anything for me unless they my underlings in the RAF and I didn't aim to start when I found out I was on my way out you knew me better than most of my close family I'll tell you if something's wrong good on you now then let's get to the good bit to ease family you lot where do I begin when I took our nips grandson out for his first pint apparently the walls have ears and one of you overheard me tell him I had diabetes shame you had to say it's a shame it wasn't cancer guess you got your wish eh the rest of you whenever you visited me you asked more often than not if you could borrow money it's fine I didn't mind lending it to you but I did expect to get it back so here's how this is going to work I've split my money and put it in trust with my oldest friend the lawyer nobody is getting a thing till Eve pops her clogs so don't bother asking Eve can stand the house I worked my ass off for until she either dies or has to go in to care for any reason the house is not to be sold until after she dies lazy as she is she's still my wife once she dies the house is to be sold at a reasonable price to the next owners and the money from that is to be added to the total for my finances and split with the family Eve's is her own and she can do with it what she wants other than add it to my total lawyer has been left instructions on this now here's how it'll be split if you've borrowed money from me and paid it back you'll get a fair share based on your age at the time of my death if you haven't repaid the money you borrowed you'll still get a cut - what you owe me for some of you I hope you know I'm laughing at your squirming from beyond the grave deserves you right nip my only living family you'll get the lion's share of whatever is there to be done with what you will if you're not wanting to keep it lawyer has been paid for any services you may require trust him he's a good lad and saved my ass on more than one occasion in the war nip sons will get a decent chunk to help with whatever you need and your children will be provided for as well - my mom not once have I heard anything bad about you you're getting a cut - like it or lump it Opie you've been great help the last couple of weeks I called you unfairly at 3 a.m. to help me out of the bath after finally giving up getting myself out sorry you had to see that you didn't have to help the next day with the decorating either if you weren't already on your career path you'd make a fine tradesman you will receive a cut to be determined by the near future 'z events use it how you will - the rest of you I'm utterly [ __ ] disgusted to have known you I mentioned earlier that Eve can live in the house till she dies or is put into residential care if either of these happens nobody is to live in the house I don't want anyone I don't trust in there now quit your crying and go about your lives Hodge as you can imagine people kicked up a stink about this we nodded to the lawyer and left shortly after the funeral Eve went into a retirement home with her own money Hodges was locked up as per his request she had more than enough to keep her afloat for many more years a couple of months down the line we all got called back to the lawyer's office a little bit most again we're directed to watch a video Hodge I'm not surprised that this video has been played some of you just don't follow orders if you're watching this it means that someone I don't trust was found to be living in my house I don't give up who it is lawyer has instructions of what to do next but for the sake of his voice and sanity whoever was found in the house against my wishes is now stricken from the will entirely if the others feel they want to share their money with you that's their lost you'll not get a penny from me as it turns out my cousin who bullied me in school and her family as in her on-and-off boyfriend two kids and a dog had moved into the house after convincing Eve to move out because they needed the house what they hadn't counted on is nosy neighbors Hodge asked them to watch the house and if they saw anyone new in there or any signs of moving to report to the lawyer for updates in return they get a cut of the money he had they're good people the lesson don't screw with a war vet I love how Hodge knew the extended family well enough that he knew something was going to happen like this and prepared for it in advance there was another story down below with a similar tune it says also don't screw with a physician a family friend of mine left her money to her nieces and nephews my sister and I her three God children and one childless sister one of her other sisters was married to a CFO and another sister was married to an a-hole when she died the a-hole was counting on getting a share of her estate when he heard it was going to be split up among the kids plus my sister me and the three God children he was pissed I overheard him trying to drum up support with the childless sister's husband to contest the will and get the five non-related kids disinherited and give it to him and his wife well family friend didn't trust him and put a clause in the will I've never seen a man go that white that fast the clause was if anyone or their appointed representative contest this will they will find themselves disinherited and their share will be redistributed if he had disputed the will he would have cost his three kids their inheritance which was a significant chunk of money on the topic of wills my grandparents did what they called a living will while they were still alive they distributed some of their money to each of their ten grandchildren that way they actually got to see how some of that money was used this is a wonderful idea and I hope that I can do the same when I get up there in age as well I
