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 was hesitating about how to explain to Man Er the process of taking pigs out of the pen for slaughter when Man Er took the initiative to tell Tong Huaqiong that her pig had gotten fat and needed to be taken out of the pen.


Tong Huaqiong curiously asked, "Who told you the pig needs to be taken out? Do you know what taking a pig out of the pen means?"


Man Er said, "Dad said it. Dad said when the pig gets fat, it needs to be taken out and slaughtered."


Gu Dahuan, that simple traditional man, didn't realize this might leave a childhood shadow on Man Er.


When the pig was taken out, Man Er cried, but by the time the pig was tied up, Man Er was already discussing with Tong Huaqiong about wanting to eat pork noodle buns.


In the countryside, slaughtering a pig is a major event for every family each year, usually taking place in the twelfth lunar month.
