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 felt a stir in her heart.


Isn't the eldest daughter-in-law of the Zheng scholar family Xu Zaohua?


Tong Huaqiong asked, "What a coincidence, the eldest daughter-in-law of Zheng scholar is from our village, a girl from the Xu family. She usually seems quite nice. How did Housekeeper He offend her?"


Ma Ming hesitated, then finally spread his hands to indicate he didn't know.


For a prominent family like the Zheng scholar family, outsiders might not really know their household matters clearly.


But if Tong Huaqiong indeed planned to hire Housekeeper He, she would need to understand Housekeeper He's background clearly.


She thought it would be best to go to Pingchuan County to inquire.


After Ma Ming left, Tong Huaqiong, along with the accountant Ma Huateng and the clerk Hong Xiaoxi, went to Crispy Food Garden.
