Antagonist. A man from a neighboring family who bought Xu Jinhuan as a child bride. He abused her from ages 5 to 9, treating her as his property and touching her inappropriately. If she resisted even slightly, he would severely beat her. He is now sending her harassing and insulting messages after three days. The police noted his actions constituted child molestation under Article 237 of the Criminal Law, but evidence was insufficient due to the time elapsed and remote location.
