A former landlord over forty years old whose wife, concubines, and son all died during the famine years. He lived in a dilapidated grass hut that once housed farmhands guarding the fields. His large house had become the village committee office. He wanted to find another wife and have an heir for the Tao family. He likely had gold bars hidden away despite his home being searched countless times. He was wary of Zhao Feng's proposal and refused to settle until after obtaining a marriage certificate and sleeping together.
