An 85-year-old woman surnamed Huang was given 110,000 yuan ($16,100) after she successfully sued her daughter-in-law for part of the proceeds they got after her son died in a traffic accident.

She sued her former daughter-in-law surnamed Zhang in Xiangfang, Hubei province, after she refused to split the money.

The family was compensated 380,000 yuan. And Xiangcheng District People's Court ruled in favor of Huang in the wake of a public hearing.
