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 came into the courtyard and extended her hand to stop Housekeeper He, who was trying to barge into the house.


"Widow Tong, how impolite you are. I'm here to collect a debt, and you won't let me into the house?" Housekeeper He said with a cold laugh.


Tong Huaqiong smiled and said, "Collecting a debt can be done in the courtyard. Why bother coming inside? Housekeeper He, don't you know that a widow's door is prone to trouble? What if some unpleasant rumors about us spread, ruining my reputation?"


"What are your intentions towards me? Just say it directly."


Early in the morning, she wasn't in the mood to invite people in for tea.


Why can't this matter be settled in the courtyard? Why make a big deal about sitting down inside?


This left Housekeeper He speechless for quite some time.


Widow Tong was truly hard to deal with.
