Father Yu
| Yu Zhu Returns Home | Yu Zhu's birth father. Irritable and snobbish, with a tendency toward violence, never admitting fault, and male chauvinism. He claims his eldest daughter Yu Zhu got lost and ran away from home. Though he is the head of the household, he is a compulsive gambler and often loses money at it, relying heavily on the money Xiao Zhu sends home. |
| The Yu Family Seeks Refuge with Kongtong | Because the loan note looks forged, and under pressure from debt collectors, he tries to take his whole family to seek refuge with Yu Zhu. Even destitute, he never changes his ways, pouring his last savings into the Gambling Den. To cover his gambling debts, he even secretly plans to sell his second daughter Yu Baohua. Only after the Soul-Stealing Gate punishes him are his past misdeeds brought to light. |
