The husband of Tan Xiaomei and son of Old Lady Jiang. He is described as cowardly and weak-willed. He has two new concubines — Widow Xu (lazy and indulgent) and another fierce and vicious one. He is embarrassed by the gossip in Fengping Village claiming he is the one who cannot bear children, not his wife. He refused to go to Old Tan's house to bring Tan Xiaomei back due to shame. He was struck in the face by Old Tan and fell to the ground dazed.
