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 Twelve: Changing Names

"You!!" Zhao Shuangfeng was furious.

"Mom, let's go first..." Wang Baojun was also very angry.

"Wang Baojun, if you don't leave, I'm going to divorce you!" Zhao Shuangfeng stomped her foot and shouted angrily.

"Is everyone alright at home?" Tao Ying asked with a forced smile, looking at the neighbors who were still watching.

"Old Tao, I'm still busy. I'll chat with you when I'm free," someone said somewhat embarrassedly.

The remaining people quickly laughed it off and hurriedly left.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, you don't need to give Mom so much money, just give her ten yuan a year." After everyone left, the old lady awkwardly came over and whispered to Tao Ying.

The old lady didn't dare to think about spending so much money. When her son was alive, she never acted like a mother-in-law. Now that her son is gone, does she still dare to flaunt herself in front of her eldest daughter-in-law?

"Mom, what I said is for you, is for you. Why don't you and Dad stay here with me? It'll be easier to ask Wang Baojun for the money then." Tao Ying felt that this old lady wasn't as difficult to get along with as Tao's aunt remembered.

"No, no, no, I don't want the money anymore. Your father and I are still healthy, and the government has allocated us land. We can support ourselves." As soon as Tao Ying finished speaking, the old lady's eyes widened in horror, and she hurriedly waved her hands to refuse, as if Tao Ying would keep her here if she hesitated.

After saying that, the old lady wiped the sweat from her forehead, saying that she was not going to serve this wicked daughter-in-law.

She must have realized that her son was gone and there was no one to take care of her, so she started targeting this old woman.

Tao Ying sighed, no longer wanting to argue with the old lady.

"Chuntao, go with your second brother to buy some vegetables and cook some delicious food." Tao Ying gave Wang Chuntao ten yuan.

I really don't feel like comforting the little girl; these past few days have been just too awful.

Tao Ying felt utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally.

"Chunni, you and the baby stay in the newly vacated room for now. I'll take care of your household registration and job application after I've had a rest," Tao Ying said softly, rubbing her aching forehead.

"No need to eat, you rest well. I'll go back to eat with the second son's family." The old lady's eyes darted around as she spoke quickly, afraid that Li Guiying would agree again.

“Yes, sister-in-law, you’ve had a lot going on at home lately, so we’ll head back now. We’ve been away for too long this time, and we’re worried about things at home.” Li Guiying was quite surprised by her mother-in-law’s actions.

After all, my mother-in-law does nothing at home and complains every day that I don't do a good job.

She always tries to take advantage of others in the village. This is the first time I've heard of someone offering her money and she refusing it, or even refusing to be invited to eat.

Wang Dashuan was six years younger than Wang Dazhu, and Li Guiying was two years younger than Wang Dashuan.

The couple married a little late; Wang Baoshan was already born when they got married.

I haven't had much contact with Tao Ying, and all I know about her is from my mother-in-law's daily abuse of my sister-in-law.

But now that her older brother is gone, her mother-in-law treats her sister-in-law differently than she would at home.

The mother-in-law seemed to be more than just a little afraid of her sister-in-law.

"Don't try to keep us here, old man, let's go quickly." The old lady was afraid that Tao Ying would ask her to stay, so before Tao Ying could speak, she grabbed Old Master Wang and started to leave.

Grandpa Wang wasn't prepared for this, and the old lady's pull almost broke his old bones.

"Slow down, slow down." Grandpa Wang was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly followed the old lady out.

"Dad, Mom, wait for me!" Li Guiying didn't even have time to say a word to Tao Ying before she grabbed Wang Dashuan and chased after them.

"Mom, are we still going to buy groceries?" Wang Chuntao asked Tao Ying nervously.

Wang Chuntao knew all too well how stingy and miserly her mother was.

Meat dishes are usually only cooked when my eldest and third brothers are home.

"Of course I'll do it. Buy some meat and fish, and see if they sell any fabric. Your older sister and the baby don't have any clothes yet," Tao Ying said.

"Chunni, you take the child back to rest. I'm going back to my room too. Don't call me if I don't come out when dinner is ready." Tao Ying said lazily as she went back to her room.

These past few days have been so stressful, and now that I've suddenly relaxed, I feel completely exhausted, both physically and mentally.

Forget about complaining about the bed, she lay down and fell asleep instantly.

After Tao Ying entered the room, Wang Chuntao looked at Wang Chunni nervously.

In fact, Wang Chuntao had no memory of Wang Chunni.

When Wang Chunni went to the countryside, Wang Chuntao was only five years old.

But the second brother kept praising the eldest sister.

"Chuntao, just listen to Mom. Go buy groceries first, then we'll cook something. We'll make something delicious for Mom when I'm feeling better tomorrow." Wang Chunni smiled gently at Wang Chuntao.

"Let's go, Chuntao," Wang Baomin called to Wang Chuntao.

After Li Guiying and the others got into the car, Li Guiying looked at the old lady with a face full of curiosity.

"Mom, why do I feel like you're a little afraid of my sister-in-law?" Li Guiying was always straightforward.

Anyway, my mother-in-law only scolds me a few times each time.

“Afraid of her? What else can she do besides squeezing out a couple of drops of cat pee? I just don’t care about her.” The old lady immediately raised her head and said with a proud look on her face.

Seeing the old lady's condition, Li Guiying turned to look at her father-in-law and Wang Dashuan.

The two exchanged a glance and then looked out the window, looking rather guilty.

Li Guiying thought, "There must be something they're hiding from me."

Li Guiying secretly pinched Wang Dashuan, but Wang Dashuan just wouldn't look at her.

Tao Ying woke up hungry the next morning.

I glanced at the brightness outside and stretched.

Hearing the cheerful laughter outside, my mood couldn't help but improve.

Upon opening the door, one could see Wang Daya sweeping the floor with a broom.

Wang Chunni was also making clothes with a needle and thread.

Upon seeing Tao Ying emerge, both of their eyes lit up simultaneously.

The little girl immediately put down the broom and ran over happily, shouting, "Grandma!!!"

"Good morning, baby! My baby is so capable." Tao Ying happily picked up Li Daya.

"Mom, go wash up first, I'll go get you breakfast." Wang Chunni said with a smile, "Home is the best."

"You take good care of yourself, I'll go get it myself. Don't tire yourself out," Tao Ying quickly called out to Wang Chunni.

"Mom, I'm much better now," Wang Chunni said in a subconscious, coquettish tone.

"Okay, okay, you go get it for me." Tao Ying happily agreed and then put Li Daya down.

Li Daya quickly ran to the side and, before Tao Ying could even approach, grabbed a teacup and a toothbrush. "Grandma, brush your teeth!"

"My baby is so good." Tao Ying's heart melted at that moment.

Li Daya became even more proud after being praised.

Tao Ying felt no guilt whatsoever as the mother and daughter served her breakfast.

"Chunni, I want to change the baby's name, is that okay?" Tao Ying said to Wang Chunni after dinner.

Daya is not a name, not even a nickname.

“Mom…” Wang Chunni looked at Tao Ying with tears in her eyes.
