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.

"Zhaoyang, do you have something to say to me?"


The banquet was lively until the evening, and as Tong Huaqiong was seeing off the guests, Lu Zhaoyang followed her closely, never leaving her side.


This made many people mistakenly think that Lu Zhaoyang was her young son who was still studying.


Tong Huaqiong guessed that Lu Zhaoyang had something to tell her, but he remained silent, so she couldn't help but ask.


"Um, Aunt Tong..." Lu Zhaoyang said, blushing, "Grandfather asked you to help me with matchmaking. Have you found any suitable young lady?"


Seeing Lu Zhaoyang's face as red as a dripping blood, Tong Huaqiong asked back, "Is there a girl you've taken a liking to and want me to play matchmaker?"


Despite being shy, Lu Zhaoyang was honest about the girl he had set his eyes on and said, "To be honest, Aunt Tong, I fell in love with Miss Huang at first sight."


Lu Zhaoyang had taken a liking to Huang Jingshan.
