The Evil Mother-in-Law Does Not Seek Redemption, She Only Torments the Scum Children

Tong Huaqiong transmigrates into the body of Tong Dajiao, a wicked widow in ancient times. She witnesses the execution where the evil widow and her children are all put to death, then returns to the year Tong Dajiao first became a widow.

At just forty, she's already a grandmother. A wicked stepmother and a wicked mother-in-law rolled into one, she has naturally raised a brood of rotten children.

The one small comfort is that, as a widow, she doesn't have to look after an old man.

She has none of the golden fingers found in transmigration novels, such as a System or a prestigious background.

She doesn't even have the chance to change her fortunes through marriage. Who would marry a widow, especially one dragging a whole brood of dependents behind her?

She can only rely on herself and the nest of rotten children at home.

She'll restore the family's good name and set her children's behavior straight.

She treats her stepson, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter well, stops her youngest son from selling his granddaughter to a wealthy family to pay for his studies, and makes him study hard on his own. She beats her second son into waking up and becoming the family's mainstay instead of a lazy glutton, and rids her youngest daughter of her laziness, greed, and foolish obsession with romance.

She clears land and farms, using modern scientific knowledge to grow crops and turn saline-alkali soil into fertile fields, leading the whole family toward prosperity. She starts doing business with a street stall, selling steamed buns, pastries, and braised dishes, raising pigs and keeping bees... and gradually expands the family's business empire.
