Not quite correct, but even worse than that they are somehow attaching blame to her for her mother, who brought her up as a single mother, having made a 900% profit...on a house that cost the huge sum of £11000. Enough profit, of course, to let her move to a mansion. She should have known her place, and stayed in the old house for ever.
