Also known as Gu Er Shu, he is Gu Linchen's uncle who has been helping with collecting ducks for the past two months. His family has earned about seven or eight taels of silver during this time, which is a significant amount compared to their previous poverty. He is planning to send his son Gu Qing to an academy in town after the spring, but needs help finding a suitable one since enrollment requires recommendations and exams. He is grateful to Gu Linchen for offering to inquire about academies on their behalf.
