Tu Di Po
In the countryside, he is sometimes given a wife, Tǔ Dì Pó (土地婆, lit. Earth Grandmother), placed next to him on the altar. She may be seen as a just and benevolent deity on the same rank as her husband, or as a grudging old woman holding back her husband's benedictions, which explains why one does not always receive fair retribution for good behaviour.
Another story says that Tu Di Po is supposed to be a young lady. After Tu Di Gong received a heavenly rank, he gave everything that the people asked for. When one of the gods went down to Earth to do inspections, he saw that Tu Di Gong was distributing blessings unnecessarily. Soon after that, the god went to the Celestial Palace and reported to the Jade Emperor.
After the Jade Emperor knew this, he found out that there was a lady that was going to be killed, but she was not guilty. Thus, the Jade Emperor told a god to go down to Earth and bring the lady to heaven. When the lady was brought to the Celestial Palace, the Jade Emperor bestowed her to Tu Di Gong as his wife. She was ordered to look after how many blessings Tu Di Gong distributes and that they not be unnecessarily distributed. This is why many people do not want to pay respect to Tu Di Po, because they are afraid that she will not let Tu Di Gong give lots of wealth to them.
