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.

"Mom, do you think Big Sister can lend Silver to Second Brother?" Taohua asked.


Tong Huaqiong thought this matter was very difficult.


In Tong Huaqiong's memory, after the funeral of the Gu Family's old man, Gu Baishuang had an awakening, completely disappointed with Gu Dashi and the others, and severed ties with the Gu Family.


But it's for the best, let Gu Dashi grind down his temper a bit at Gu Baishuang's place.


"Mom, do you really not care if Yaozu is sent away?"


"So what do you suggest? Should you go instead?"


A soft, sweet voice called out as Man Er walked in, carrying a small basket on her back full of grass.


Tong Huaqiong let out a barely audible sigh.


The children of the poor grow up early, especially those from a family that's both poor and has a malicious grandmother, they carry heavy burdens from a young age.
