Female foster mother of Jiang Yushan and biological mother of Jiang Sisi. Initially disapproves of the marriage swap because Du Yingfan is a crippled educated youth while Xiao Yishan is a battalion commander. However, she is persuaded by Jiang Sisi's arguments about the dangers of military life and the potential future of educated youths. She favors Sisi, treating her like a princess, and views Yushan as a troublesome foster daughter with poor health. She ultimately agrees to the swap to make Sisi happy.
