The patriarch of the Qian family and father of Qian Sanya. He married a later wife (Zhao's mother) and pretends to treat her and her three children well, but in reality does not care for them. He forced his later wife to sign a contract giving all property to his three sons and built an eight-room house using all their savings, putting only his sons' names on the deed. He also racked up over three hundred yuan in debt. He is the father of four children and is respected as the one qualified to uphold justice in family disputes.
