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.

A day ago was the day Fan Tong received his scholar's grain and silver.


Fan Tong had casually mentioned it before, and Gu Honglian remembered it.


She was eagerly anticipating Fan Tong handing over the silver for her to manage.


Gu Honglian thought to herself that since she was now Fan Tong's wife, both emotionally and logically, Fan Tong's grain and silver should be given to her.


Even if not all of it, she could accept half being given to her and the other half to Grandma Fan.


The government-issued scholar's grain and silver had usually been spent mostly by Fan Tong himself, with a small portion handed over to his sister-in-law to manage.


Upon finding out, Gu Honglian didn't dare show a sour face. She patiently reasoned with Fan Tong, explaining that the two of them would eventually have children and that without grain and silver, how would they support their children? She urged Fan Tong to consider her and the children in the future.
