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, having eaten her fill and distributed the cake rolls, noticed that only Gu Taohua was present at the table, with no sign of Man Er.


She asked Gu Taohua, "Where has Man Er gone?"


Gu Taohua replied, "She went to the yard to play with some other kids."


Children love to play, and there were quite a few of them at the banquet, so it was normal for Man Er to be playing with them.


Thinking it over, Tong Huaqiong still felt a bit uneasy and decided to leave the banquet hall to find Man Er.


By a rockery, Tong Huaqiong heard a bratty voice.


Turning to the back of the rockery, she saw from a distance a chubby boy in fancy clothes trying to snatch the cake roll from Man Er.


Since Tong Huaqiong decreed that the whole family should pamper Man Er, even Gu Yaozu didn't dare to snatch anything from Man Er, let alone this unknown chubby boy.
