Gu's Eldest Uncle is the family elder with unquestioned authority in the Gu family. He warns the family that if Feng Xiaomei dies, they will need to beg Zhao Hui for a letter of forgiveness to save Xiaoliu's life.

The family defers to his judgment despite his questionable understanding of future economic changes.
