With all the troublemakers finally gone, Su Wanwan looked around the shabby mud house.
She clearly remembered taking a nap in her laboratory. How had she woken up in a place like this?
Before she could think further, a splitting headache struck her. Countless unfamiliar memories flooded into her mind.
She sat there in a daze for quite a while before finally understanding what had happened.
She had transmigrated!
Other people transmigrated into peerless beauties, princesses, queens, or empresses.
She, however, had become the famous ugly girl of the surrounding villages!
And not only that—it was the 1970s, an era of scarce supplies and harsh living conditions.
Although the original owner of this body shared her name, the two of them were completely different in both appearance and personality.
The original Su Wanwan had suffered from a skin disease since childhood and was considered hideous.
Meanwhile, she had been one of the most beautiful women in the research institute.
The original owner was timid and insecure because of her appearance.
She, on the other hand, had always been cheerful and well-liked.
The only advantage was that the original owner was only seven years old.
Well… that didn’t really seem like much of an advantage.
After all, the modern Su Wanwan was already in her twenties.
She had spent all her spare time immersed in research and hadn’t even had the chance to fall in love or get married.
Su Wanwan shook her head and tossed the broom off the bed.
In the process, she nearly fell over herself.
Why was this body so weak?
She felt drained of strength, alternating between chills and fever, while her stomach burned with hunger.
Sigh…
She thought of the medicines in her laboratory and closed her eyes regretfully.
If only she could bring them here.
As soon as the thought crossed her mind, a medicine tube suddenly appeared in her hand.
Su Wanwan stared in shock.
It was actually the newly developed nutritional solution from her laboratory.
One bottle could keep a person from needing food for an entire day.
It was truly a blessing in disguise.
With great effort, she drank the solution.
The empty bottle disappeared on its own.
It could even recycle itself.
How environmentally friendly.
As the medicine took effect, her stomach stopped protesting, her body regained some strength, and her mind became clearer.
But how had the medicine appeared?
She had only thought about it.
Curious, she closed her eyes again and imagined her laboratory.
When she opened them, she found herself standing inside it.
For a moment, she thought she had returned to the modern world.
That hope quickly disappeared.
The laboratory had no doors or windows.
There was no way out.
Dragging her weak body forward, she found some powerful cold medicine and swallowed it.
The discomfort vanished immediately.
She felt as though she had endless energy.
Closing her eyes once more, she focused her thoughts.
The next second, she was back in the shabby mud house.
Now she understood.
Not only had she transmigrated—
She had brought an all-purpose medical research laboratory with her!
This was simply overpowered.
The laboratory contained cutting-edge medical equipment, pharmaceuticals, medicinal herbs, and nutritional supplements.
Any single item taken into this era would shock the entire world.
It seemed heaven had not treated her too badly after all.
Of course, she couldn’t let anyone know about the laboratory.
But treating her own illnesses and drinking nutritional solutions shouldn’t be a problem.
With that reassurance, she no longer felt anxious.
As she got off the bed, however, she felt a sharp sting.
Lifting her clothes, she found purple bruises covering her body.
The injuries had already faded somewhat, leaving only a dull ache.
Su Wanwan suddenly remembered.
These were the marks left by Old Madam Su’s beating three days ago.
That old witch!
She couldn’t let her get away with it so easily.
Originally, Su Wanwan’s circumstances weren’t that bad for this era.
Her mother, Ye Xiu’e, was a respected barefoot doctor known throughout the neighboring villages.
At the time, a popular saying went:
“Barefoot doctors are flowers facing the sun, praised by poor and lower-middle peasants alike.”
That alone showed how respected barefoot doctors were in those days.
Her father, Su Youcai, had answered the country’s call three years after marriage and become a soldier defending the frontier.
Unfortunately, fate was cruel.
Three years ago, Su Youcai died while carrying out a mission.
The mother and daughter were left behind to suffer endless bullying.
The old woman who had barged in and tried to beat her was her grandmother.
The girl beside her was her nine-year-old cousin, Su Cuifen.
The man who entered later was her eldest uncle, Su Wangcai, Su Cuifen’s father.
Su Cuifen also had two younger brothers.
One was six years old, and the other only three.
To make them easier to raise, they had been given simple nicknames: Maodan and Goudan.
Both boys loved tormenting Su Wanwan.
The reason the original owner had caught a cold was because Su Cuifen had pushed her into the river while she was washing vegetables.
It was the dead of winter.
The freezing water was unbearable.
Already frail, the original Su Wanwan developed a severe cold and became bedridden.
In the underdeveloped medical conditions of the 1970s, a severe cold could easily be fatal.
Yet even then, Su Cuifen and her brothers refused to leave her alone.
They somehow found a cauliflower snake and put it inside her bedding.
The original Su Wanwan was terrified of snakes.
She died from fright on the spot.
And that was when the modern Su Wanwan arrived.
Su Wanwan threw back the blanket and climbed off the bed.
She almost tripped over the broom and fell flat on her face.
That troublesome old hag.
She would definitely settle accounts with her later.
After moving the broom aside, she found a broken piece of mirror on the table.
She looked at her reflection.
So ugly.
Although she had a pair of large, bright eyes, her hair was dry and yellow, and her face was covered with deep and shallow scars.
No wonder everyone called her an ugly freak.
The original owner had developed a strange skin disease at the age of three.
Scars covered her entire face.
Her mother had taken her everywhere seeking treatment and tried every possible remedy, but nothing worked.
Eventually, she had given up.
But in Su Wanwan’s hands, this was a trivial problem.
Curing this skin condition would be easy.
The only issue was that recovering too suddenly might attract suspicion.
She would wait for the right opportunity.
The original owner truly had a pitiful life.
Outside the home, she was mocked endlessly because of her appearance.
Inside, her family constantly bullied her.
Although her mother tried desperately to protect her, there were always moments when she couldn’t be there.
Whenever her mother was away, her grandmother and uncle’s family would seize the chance to mistreat her.
This time, while she was sick, her grandmother had nearly beaten her again.
No—not nearly.
She had been beaten.
The bruises on her body were proof.
If the original owner’s mother ever discovered this, she definitely wouldn’t let the matter rest.
Su Wanwan suddenly thought of her own grandmother in the modern world.
Her father had died before she was born.
Her mother had died in childbirth.
Afraid that she would feel lonely without parents, her grandmother had showered her with even more love.
Whenever there was something delicious, Grandma always saved it for her.
Whenever anyone bullied her, Grandma would immediately take her by the hand and march over to settle the score.
Thinking of her grandmother filled her heart with warmth.
She had been the person who loved her most in the world.
Then sadness followed.
Her soul had come to the 1970s.
The modern-day Su Wanwan was probably dead.
At Grandma’s age, having to bury her own granddaughter…
Su Wanwan didn’t know whether her grandmother would be able to bear such a loss.
