Also called the old woman, she is younger than her husband but looks almost fifty due to hard labor. She is deeply loving toward her son, wailing desperately when he is near death and promising to give him all the silver in the house if he wakes up. She prepares wild vegetable porridge for Gu Linchen's recovery and packs flatbreads for her husband's journey to town. She is diligent, keeping the house corners well-kept despite their poverty.
