Connotations

What connotations certain actions may take
can be surprising!
A father hypothecated portions of his house
to his four children.
The elder daughter, the third child,
got the best portion of the house.
The youngest daughter, the worst.
When the father was gone,
the eldest son's wife said
they will not vacate
the better part of youngest daughter's share of property
as she had stepped in that portion of the house as a young bride!

The father also gave some money
to the daughters.
Both the daughters transferred quite a bit of money
to the second elder brother
for his two daughters' education.
The elder daughter's husband kept quiet.
The younger daughter's husband said,
you boasted about your family all along
and spoke meanly about all members 
of your in-laws' house.
What would you now say to this,
your brothers taking away
most of what your father gave to you!
