The eldest brother of Xu Guohua, already in his twenties with his own family. He is described as greedy and manipulative, using sweet words to order Xu Guohua around despite having no real need for help. He accompanied Xu Guohua on the radish-stealing trip and tripped him to escape capture. He warned Xu Guohua not to turn back when hearing Xu Yunlan's call in the middle of the night, citing the superstition about three lanterns on a person's body.
