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.

Mrs. Gu asked, "Rui Nian, do you really want to be adopted by the first house?"


"Grandpa, this is something I have no choice over. I am willing to take on the blame for the sake of the second house. I know you have my best interests at heart. I've figured it out: whether I'm the son of the first house or the second house, I'm still your grandson, and I bear the responsibility of honoring the Gu family name."


Mr. Gu felt a pang of sadness hearing Gu Ruinian speak this way.


Mrs. Gu, however, started cursing, "You ungrateful thing, leave! Go live with the first house now, and don't recognize me or your parents in the future."


Gu Ruinian said, "Grandmother, don't scold me first, please listen to me."
