Han Lao Er is the second son of Old Han, known as the most gossipy person in the village. He is the one who reports that the village head gave two to three catties of grain to Han Mingyuan’s family, which sparks the Old Han family’s greed. He does not play a major active role but serves as an informant. He is present at the family division and likely supports the plan to sell the nieces. He is driven by hunger and a desire for easy food.
