Also referred to as Madam Chen, she is an embroiderer living in the front village. She took on apprentices but was attentive and eager with Teacher Zhong's daughter while being impatient with her own daughter Xiuya and Man Xiu. She only taught Man Xiu basic mending over four years and her daughter avoided Man Xiu when knotting. Granny Li had sent at least two pigs to her family hoping for better needlework instruction.
