WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“How ironic that he was betrayed and driven out by his own brother-in-law.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Brother-in-law (wife's younger brother)

Refers to a wife's younger brother ('xiao jiuzi'). In traditional Chinese kinship culture, in-laws are generally treated as one's own family, making betrayal or manipulation by one's brother-in-law feel particularly dramatic and ironic.
