Ad Seeks Daughter to Inherit Fortune

After a wealthy elderly woman in Zhengzhou, Henan Province posted a classified ad in hopes of finding an adult daughter to keep her company and possibly inherit her fortune, social media started buzzing. 

“I am a 68-year-old doctor who owns a clinic and four houses in Zhengzhou but have no children.  I want to find a kind-hearted and filial woman under 40 to be my daughter, who could inherit my wealth if we get along,” read the notice posted near a job recruitment center. 

The unnamed woman stated that she wanted to hire a daughter, not a nurse and only a “kind-hearted and ambitious woman” could inherit her money.  If she is unable to find a satisfactory candidate, she will donate all her property to a local welfare center.
