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.

On New Year's Eve, the grand family feast, and the personal visit by the Grandson to the Gu Family to celebrate the occasion shocked Gu Honglian greatly.


Moreover, traveling north all the way from Pingchuan County, facing harsh conditions, eating poorly and unable to sleep well, last night was the most restful and warmest night for Gu Honglian.


In the haze of sleepiness, Gu Honglian let out a comfortable moan, swearing never to endure a life of wandering and suffering in the cold again.


Her husband couldn't provide her with comfortable days for now; in the unfamiliar Shengjing, she could only rely on her sister-in-law.


The maids beside her sister-in-law dressed and ate better than the daughters of wealthy families in Yan Guan Town.


She didn't even wish for the life of a distinguished young lady like Gu Taohua, even living like a maid would satisfy her.
