City boy refuses to inherit family's farm, signs it away to his brother instead despite wife's protests: "I don't mind forfeiting the land to him"

My mom grew up on a farm. I, however, did not. My childhood was spent in the suburbs, riding my bike down the same couple of streets and hopping fences into other adjacent neighborhoods. I am now something of a city girl; I love public transportation and go to 5 different stores by foot to do my grocery shopping. All I know about the country life I learned through my mom's childhood stories that detail the idyllic peace that comes with living so close to nature as well as the hardship and labor that goes into maintaining a farm.

In our story today, a young man with a similar upbringing as my mother finds out that he has inherited his parents' farm. This comes as a major surprise to him as he was never really into that sort of thing and fled to the city as soon as he was old enough to. His brother, however, was always about that country life. So, our protagonist signs away his inhertiance to him. Perfect solution, right? Well, it would be if his wife weren't so opposed to the idea.

The old-school tradition that the eldest son inherits the biggest share is so ridiculous, especially in cases like this where he is clearly not interested and another sibling is.

I'm not so sure that it's the farm life that she is afraid her kids will miss out on so much as the money that would come from selling the land.
