Xu Qingqing's stepmother, a hypocritical woman who pretended to be kind and caring on the surface. She accepted ten yuan from Liu Nuannuan to steal the job that Gu Yan had arranged for Xu Qingqing and give it to her own daughter Xu Honghong. She publicly showed affection toward Xu Qingqing, such as pouring scrambled eggs into her bowl, but this was all performed for Xu Dahai and the neighbors. In private, she and Xu Honghong exchanged smug looks. Her biological son became a temporary worker at the steel factory, and her daughter joined the textile factory, so neither needed to go to the countryside. She took her father-in-law's family to mourn and left Xu Qingqing behind.
