Dayan's mother-in-law and Wenguang's biological mother. She is described as a smiling tiger who pretends to be kind but is actually cruel. She made heavily pregnant Dayan cook dinner after Aunt Zhao left. She took a month-long leave from the commune to come care for Dayan but actually wanted to enjoy herself. During Dayan's first confinement, she spent nearly two months of Wenguang's wages.
