Rebirth in the 80s: Old Mrs. Tao, Abandoned Son, Dotes on Daughter to Become the Richest Woman

Old Mrs. Tao was cowardly and troublesome. After her husband died in middle age, she raised three ungrateful sons, helping them get married and have children. In her old age, no one took care of he...

Chapter 150 Stage

"How can you be so amazing?" Sun Cuiping looked at Tao Ying in disbelief.

"They're not that impressive. I'm doing business, and these are all influential people. Normally, I wouldn't even be able to meet them if I wanted to. Now that I've met them, I naturally have to do my homework," Tao Ying explained with a smile.

"You're really amazing, still able to do business at your age." Sun Cuiping was genuinely envious.

“In the past, we just didn’t have the right timing. Now that times have changed, we women can hold up half the sky. Age is never a constraint. As long as you’re willing to step out, you can do a lot of things,” Tao Ying said with a smile.

"Then what do you think I can do? All these years I've just been busy taking care of my husband and children, and I have a bad tongue, so I always offend people." Sun Cuiping looked at Tao Ying with anticipation.

"Second sister-in-law, what do you like to do? Or is there anything you want to do?" Tao Ying asked earnestly.

"What do I like to do? When I was young, I was a pillar of the performing arts troupe. My favorite thing was to perform on stage and enjoy the applause from everyone. But after I married Jiang Shuo, I left that stage," Sun Cuiping said with a sigh.

However, Sun Cuiping did not regret any of this. Jiang Shuo came from a good family, was very outstanding himself, and was good to her.

I had a foul mouth when I was young, and not many people in the performing arts troupe liked me. If it weren't for my excellent abilities and good looks, which no one else could compare to, I would have been gone long ago.

Even so, as I get older, I'm not as popular in the troupe anymore.

If it weren't for Jiang Shuo, who knows what would have happened to me.

"Do you still want to go back to the stage? Times have changed. As long as your second brother supports you and you like it, you can go back," Tao Ying said earnestly.

“Go back? I haven’t danced for over twenty years. How could I possibly return to the stage? My figure isn’t what it used to be, and my flexibility is gone too.” Sun Cuiping quickly shook her head.

“So you want to go back? This time we’re not going to be the mainstays, we’re just going to stand on that stage again. Look how fast the film industry is developing now. Second sister-in-law, why don’t you try acting in a movie? Maybe you’ll become a big star.” Tao Ying encouraged her.

In fact, you could see the longing in Sun Cuiping's eyes when she mentioned the stage.

“That won’t do, that would be too public,” Sun Cuiping quickly shook her head.

"What do you mean by showing your face in public?" Old Madam Jiang asked as she walked over.

"It was I who encouraged my second sister-in-law to return to the stage. She's so beautiful; it would be a shame to let her waste her time like this," Tao Ying explained with a smile.

"That's very good," said Madam Jiang softly.

"Mom, you support me?" Sun Cuiping looked at Old Madam Jiang in disbelief.

"Of course I support you. It's rare for you to have something you want to do. Things are different now than they were twenty years ago. Back then, we might not have been able to protect you, but now, who would dare to lay a finger on you?" Old Madam Jiang's face hardened as she spoke, and she was quite intimidating.

“I’m already this old,” Sun Cuiping said, somewhat conflicted.

"How old are you? Can you be older than me? You should hurry up and do something to keep yourself busy, so you don't keep rolling your eyes at me all day long," said Madam Jiang.

"Second sister-in-law, I can help you start a film and television company, or a training class. You can choose to perform in some stage plays, or teach students or something. Once we've gotten a good grasp of this industry, we can even make movies," Tao Ying said with a smile.

Tao Ying hadn't originally planned to enter this industry so quickly.

Tao Ying's original plan was to wait until the 1990s, when the stock market era arrived, to experience the stock market firsthand before starting her work in this area.

"You're going to start a company for me?" Sun Cuiping looked at Tao Ying in disbelief.

“Yes, I don’t know anything about this. If you know anyone, you can introduce them so we can discuss it together. It doesn’t matter if you go on stage or not.” Tao Ying’s eyes sparkled.

"What are you saying, so happy?" Jiang Huan walked over.

In my memory, my second sister-in-law rarely had such a harmonious relationship with the family.

“Xiaoying said she would start a company for me, and my mom also supports my return to the stage.” Sun Cuiping’s eyes sparkled.

"Xiaoying, why is work all you can think about?" Jiang Huan said, feeling jealous.

"This isn't really supporting my second sister-in-law, it's not really work," Tao Ying explained with a smile.

“Then I’ll talk to Jiang Shuo tonight and see if he supports me.” Sun Cuiping suppressed her joy.

"Why would we need his support?" Jiang Huan asked, puzzled.

“That’s right, the world would stop turning without him. Does Xiaoying’s company need a lot of money? If not, Mom will pay for it.” Old Madam Jiang said from the side.

"Mom?" Sun Cuiping was shocked, looking at Old Madam Jiang with surprise.

"Mom, you're so kind," Tao Ying said with a smile.

"What a fine girl she was back then, marrying Jiang Shuo, and all these years have been wasted," said Old Madam Jiang with heartache.

"Then why do you always scold me?" Sun Cuiping looked at Old Madam Jiang with incomprehension.

Over the years, I've always been the one getting scolded, and my sister-in-law and Jiang Jiang have always been arguing with me.

In the end, Jiang Shuo will get beaten up.

"You idiot, what's wrong with me scolding you? Can't you be scolded?" Old Madam Jiang started scolding again in a huff.

"Mom~" Tao Ying called out with a smile, holding Old Madam Jiang's hand.

"My old daughter-in-law is still the best." Old Madam Jiang looked at Tao Ying with a smile.

"It's true what they say, 'New faces make old ones disappear.' Anyway, I'll never be Mom's darling." Sun Cuiping rolled her eyes again.

"Of course, my heart is like a durian, with someone on every tip. Except for you." Old Madam Jiang got angry as soon as she saw Sun Cuiping roll her eyes.

Tao Ying “…”

Is that how everyone talks?

"Mom, Second Sister-in-law, don't scare my wife." Jiang Huan walked over and looked at the two of them with dissatisfaction.

"They say once you have a wife, you forget your mother. It seems the old saying is really true," Sun Cuiping said sarcastically, rolling her eyes.

"Second sister-in-law, the stage! The stage!" Tao Ying didn't expect this indiscriminate attack to happen.

"Ying'er, we're best friends. Your second sister-in-law isn't with you. If anyone bullies you in the future, come find your second sister-in-law." Sun Cuiping was a flexible person, and immediately changed her expression.

“I’m closest to Jiang Jiang during the day, and my second sister-in-law and I are the second best,” Tao Ying said with a smile.

It's clear that although this family bickers and argues, they're still united.

“Ying’er, I have my own money. Jiang Shuo’s salary over the years is all in my hands.” Sun Cuiping started to get down to business.

“Okay, let’s get started after you ask your second brother for his opinion,” Tao Ying replied softly.

"Can I participate?" Old Madam Jiang looked at the two of them with hopeful eyes.

“Of course we can! We’ll put on a stage play, and you can play the Empress Dowager,” Tao Ying said with a smile.
