Only when "Ugly Mother" and Li Jianping's biological mother were young did Li Jianping mistake "Ugly Mother" for his own mother. Later, he recognized the ugly mother as an adoptive mother.

The ugly mother's name is Wang Cuiju. She is an old woman from the countryside who came to the city to attend her son Wang's wedding. Her son didn't like her ugliness and refused to let her attend the wedding. Wang Cuiju was very sad and happened to meet Li Jianping. Li Jianping thinks that Wang Cuiju is like his mother, so he regards her as a godmother and stays at home.
