The wife of Lin Yongcheng and mother of Lin Dahai and Lin Dayang. She is calculating and manipulative, whispering schemes to her seven-year-old son Lin Dahai about how to ensure the children can go to the county town since Lin Yongcheng had hoped to abandon his wife and kids after making money. She is anxious about being late and sweats with worry. She forcibly pulls five-year-old Lin Dayang away when he cries and bites her twice. She is hostile toward her mother-in-law Lin Old Lady, cursing her in her heart and vowing to let her starve when she is old and weak. She slaps Lin Dayang when he mimics the disrespectful words taught by Lin Old Lady. She is female.
