Ugly Girl was in her thirties, with an average appearance and a black birthmark on her cheek. Although she was ugly, she was clever and skillful. However, because of her appearance, all the suitors who came to her house were unattractive men. Ugly Girl didn't like any of them.
Ugly Girl's parents wanted to force her into a marriage despite her objections. When Ugly Girl found out, she ran away to the mountains. Her parents and others searched for her in the mountains for several days before finally finding her in a cave.
Ugly Girl was already ugly, and she was so stubborn. Now, even the most unattractive men don't want to marry her. What if they marry her and she runs away? Wouldn't that be a waste?
Ugly Girl's parents no longer dared to force her to marry. What if they drove her to her death? Wouldn't that mean they had raised her for nothing?
And so, Ugly Girl remained unmarried past thirty. People often mocked her behind her back. Ugly Girl knew many people laughed at her, and she vowed in her heart: You wait and see, one day I will be better off than you.
When the country's policies changed, Ugly Girl carried her mountain goods to the city to do business. Ugly Girl was quick-witted and harbored a deep sense of pride. Over the years, she became the wealthiest person in the area.
Now, fewer and fewer people laugh at her for not being able to get married. More and more people envy her for being able to make money.
When Ugly Girl arrived at the old village chief's door, she called out loudly, "Is anyone home?"
The old village chief, recognizing the unfamiliar voice, asked, "Who is it?"
"Uncle, I am Ugly Aunt."
The old village chief frowned as he walked out of the courtyard: "What are you doing here?" The old village chief disliked Ugly Girl very much. In his mind, children had to obey their parents. He disliked any child who didn't listen to their parents.
Ugly Girl smiled. "Uncle, I heard that a business family has come to your village?"
Old chieftain: "Hmm."
"I want to see them. Are they home?"
What do you want with them?
"I want to talk to them about something."
The old chief didn't want Ugly Girl to come in. But she had come to see Xiaoman and the others. "You wait here. I'll go in and ask if they'd like to see you."
"Thank you, Uncle."
The old chieftain went back and called Xiaoman and Hanbin over. "Binzi, Xiaoman, someone is looking for you outside. The person looking for you is called Ugly Girl. She..." The old chieftain told Xiaoman and Hanbin everything about Ugly Girl. Finally, the old chieftain looked at Xiaoman and Hanbin and said, "This girl is too carefree. Even her parents can't control her."
Xiaoman and Hanbin could both tell that the old village chief didn't like Ugly Girl.
Han Bin glanced at Xiao Man.
Xiaoman stood up from the chair. "Uncle, I'll go see her. I'll also try to get some information out of her and see if she knows anyone who can undo the curse."
The old chieftain nodded in satisfaction when he saw that Xiaoman wasn't going to let Chou Gu in. "Alright. Go ahead."
"good."
Ugly Girl knew the old chieftain didn't like her. After he returned home, there was no further news, and Ugly Girl wondered if he hadn't even passed on her message. Just as Ugly Girl was about to ask around to see if Xiaoman and the others were still at the old chieftain's house, Xiaoman came out of the courtyard. "Hello. You were looking for us?"
Ugly Girl smiled as soon as she saw Xiaoman come out. "Hello. I picked up some clothes from your garment factory. I heard you were here and rushed over." Xiaoman was among the first people to do business in the Special Economic Zone. There were many people in the first wave of businesses in the Special Economic Zone, but Ugly Girl admired Xiaoman the most. This was because most of the first business people in the Special Economic Zone were men. Even the few women only ran small businesses. Only Xiaoman dared to expand her business so rapidly. You could say that Xiaoman was Ugly Girl's idol and her role model.
Every time Ugly Girl went to Xiaoman's clothing factory to buy goods, she would think: Why didn't I dare to come here back then? When will I be able to have such a big factory?
Because Xiaoman was Ugly Girl's idol, she often went to Xiaoman's clothing factory to buy goods. After going so often, she became familiar with the people at Xiaoman's factory. Once they were familiar, Ugly Girl told them she wanted to meet Xiaoman. But they told her they also wanted to meet Xiaoman. However, Xiaoman often didn't come to the clothing factory even once a month.
Although Ugly Girl never met Xiaoman, she knew some things about her. Xiaoman had taken her children to the Special Economic Zone back then, so many people knew that Xiaoman had three sets of twins.
When Ugly Auntie learned that someone had come to collect their embroidery, she inquired about it. Upon asking, she immediately suspected it was Xiaoman. First, the age matched. Second, Xiaoman had mentioned owning a clothing factory when collecting the embroidery. Third, Xiaoman was with her twin sons. Fourth, Xiaoman was with Xiaohei. Knowing it was Xiaoman, Ugly Auntie rushed over.
Xiaoman could tell what Ugly Girl was thinking just by looking at her eyes. "Are the clothes selling well?"
"They sell well. Sister Wang, I heard you have several foreign tailors in your factory?"
"Um."
"No wonder the clothes produced by your factory are both fashionable and comfortable to wear."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "My garment factory not only has foreign tailors, but also many tailors from our own country."
Ugly Girl's smile froze for a moment: "Yes. Our country's tailors are also very skilled."
What do you want from me?
"Sister Wang, I heard you collect embroidery." Ugly Girl took out an embroidery piece from the bag she was carrying: "Sister Wang, this is what I embroidered. Please take a look."
Xiaoman glanced at it: "Not bad. You want to sell it?"
"No. Sister Wang, you are my idol, and I want to give this embroidery to you."
"Thank you. However, I cannot accept a reward without having done something right."
"Thank you. Thank you. Sister Wang, the clothes from your garment factory have made me a lot of money."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "I've also made money from you."
“Then…then why don’t you come and sit in our village? Many people in our village know how to embroider.” Ugly Girl thought to herself: If Sister Wang buys all the embroidery from our village, all the women in our village will thank me. If I hadn’t brought Sister Wang back, they wouldn’t have been able to sell their embroidery. Thinking of how the people who used to look down on her were now thanking her, Ugly Girl was overjoyed.
Now that Xiaoman has discovered that Naonao has been poisoned by the insect clan's Gu, she definitely needs to investigate the insect clan members. This investigation led her to Ugly Girl. "Alright. I'll go back and tell the chieftain."
"Okay. I'll wait for you here."
"Um."
After returning home, Xiaoman told the old village chief that she was going to Ugly Girl's house.
The old village chief frowned: "What are you going to her house for? If you want to go to her village to find out information, I can introduce you to someone. That person is an elder in their village. He knows everything that's going on in their village."
Xiaoman smiled and said, "I'm afraid only she knows what I want to find out."
"Is that so? Then... then you can go ahead."
"Okay. We'll come back to see you after we've resolved Naonao's matter."
"Okay. Let's go pack our things."
"Um."
Back in their temporary room, Han Bin asked Xiao Man, "Is Ugly Girl that man's lover?"
