Tong Huaqiong transmigrated to ancient times into the body of the malicious widow Tong Dajiao and witnessed the execution scene where the malicious widow and her children were wiped out. She returned to the year Tong Dajiao had just become a widow.

At the age of forty, she was already a grandmother, embodying the roles of both a wicked stepmother and mother-in-law. Naturally, the children she raised were bad bamboo shoots.

The only slight comfort she felt was that, as a widow, she didn't have to serve an old husband.

In this transmigration story, she lacked all the golden fingers like systems or noble birth.

She didn't even have the chance to rise through marriage. Who could a widow marry? Especially with a bunch of burdens.

She could only rely on herself and her bunch of bad bamboos at home.

Revitalize the family reputation, correct the children's behavior.

Treat stepchildren, daughters-in-law, and granddaughters kindly, dismiss the plan of her youngest son to sell his granddaughter to a wealthy family in exchange for tuition fees, force the youngest son to strive through education on his own, use a stick to awaken the second son from being lazy and spoiled to becoming the family's backbone, and rid the youngest daughter of laziness, greed, and love-brain.

Reclaim wasteland and plant crops using modern scientific knowledge, turning saline-alkali land into fertile fields, leading the whole family towards a moderately prosperous life; start a business from street vending, selling steamed buns, pastries, marinated dishes, raising pigs, beekeeping... gradually expanding their commercial territory.

Tong Huaqiong kept her emotions steady, her tone calm.


Nie Mingyuan was slightly disappointed, why wasn't his mother-in-law excited at all?


Such a top-quality great cloak couldn't be bought even with money, and this opportunistic mother-in-law always loved to take advantage, there was no reason for her not to be pleased.


Nie Mingyuan concluded that his mother-in-law, now being titled as a Lady of Rank, was intentionally putting on airs.


Forget it, forget it, just endure for a while, he did have something to ask of his mother-in-law.


Tong Huaqiong glanced at Gu Baishuang sitting beside Nie Mingyuan.


Gu Baishuang showed a somewhat unnatural expression, and Tong Huaqiong became more suspicious of Nie Mingyuan's impure motives for visiting during the New Year.


Nie Mingyuan then opened another box, giving Gu Dahan a jade pendant, Gu Dashu a snuff bottle, and giving Man Er, Xiao Long, and Yaozu each a silver collar.
