Zuo Caiyun is Zuo Cao's aunt, married to Wei Changzhi. She works as a Level 2 Fitter at the tractor factory, a hard-won job she cherishes. She returned to work immediately after maternity leave. She is the mother of Zhuangzhuang, the only child in the Wei family. She receives a bride price of sixty yuan, but the money was taken by the Zuo family, and her family incurred a thousand-yuan gambling debt for it. She is sympathetic towards Zuo Cao, attempting to share household chores and defend her niece against Wei Mu's complaints.
