Answer:
The narrator's description of the mother contrasted sharply with the revelation of the mother's secret, revealing her to be someone she presented herself not to be which surprises and shocks the reader, as the mother was practically described as being a saint.
Explanation:
In A Dead Woman's Secret the narrator described the mother as a rigid disciplinarian who instilled unshakable morals in her children, which resulted in the son becoming a magistrate without pity for the weak and the daughter becoming a nun.
This description creates an image of the mother as a virtuous woman in the reader's mind, as also assumed by her son and daughter.
So the surprise is real when the mother is revealed to be a woman who had an affair with a man that was not her husband, the behavior is not in keeping with who she was described to be.

Here is a story that ends with "therefore, whoever wants to sit under a tree tomorrow should plant one today"
I must confess to you, I like to enjoy life. I like to have the latest clothes, gadgets and toys. I always splurged a lot and never saved. I reckoned I would begin to save when I was older.
But as I grew older, my gluttony seemed to just get worse. I earned five hundred thousand dollars per annum yet I always seemed to be in debt and I had no savings all thanks to my extremely lavish lifestyle.
In the blink of an eye, I was already old and I had to retire. I retired penniless and in great debt. I could not afford my house so I ended up in a homeless shelter.
If only, I had managed my finances better when I was younger, I would not be living in penury now. Therefore, whoever wants to sit under a tree tomorrow should plant one today".
