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.

"Since you and my junior are from the same village, we are somewhat destined to meet. I will call you Miss Honglian."


Fan Tong's question sounded in Gu Honglian's ears like Fan Tong had intentions toward her.


Thus, this time Gu Honglian felt that Fan Tong had come to Qinghe Bay because of her.


Fan Tong heard Gu Jingzhe ask this and said, "I'm here to see Mr. Su."


In the town's private school, Fan Tong didn't seem to have much respect for Mr. Su.


Fan Tong prided himself as the top scholar in Yan Guan Town, believing Mr. Su was merely a failed candidate on the official path, hence coming to Yan Guan Town to teach.


If he were truly as formidable as rumors suggest, why didn't he go to Wanliu Academy, but instead came to a town's private school.


Therefore, he never really regarded Mr. Su highly, and Mr. Su didn't have much teacher-student affection for him either.
