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.

Lu Zhaozhao had just given her a set of jewelry, and now Mrs. Gu had set her mind on it.


Luckily, she had insisted on living independently with her elder brother; otherwise, they might have taken even more from her.


Gu Xiaoxue said, "No way, this was given to me by my cousin; giving it to someone else would betray my cousin's intention."


Mrs. Gu glanced at Gu Xiaoxue, very discontented.


Mrs. Wei lifted her eyelids, also feeling that Mrs. Gu's request was outrageous.


"Your aunt marrying well is also beneficial for you. You'll eventually get married, and if you're bullied by your in-laws, your aunt, as a scholar's wife, can support you. Besides, giving the jewelry to your aunt is not for nothing; there are scholars among Fan Xiucai's classmates. When your aunt marries into the Fan Family, she can help find you a scholar husband."
