Female. Lin Aiyun's mother. A middle-aged woman who wears blue cotton clothing. She is shrewd and protective of her daughter. She initially kept a stern face when Lin Aiyun changed her mind about marriage but was secretly relieved. She is grateful to Meng Baoguo for saving her daughter but refused to marry Aiyun off just to repay a life-saving debt, recognizing the Meng family's extreme poverty. She had never planned to marry her beautiful, educated daughter to an illiterate peasant. She cooked noodles for her daughter and showed maternal warmth throughout the conversation.
