WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Such a wonderful wife, and I feel so guilty toward her—yet you beat her up like this! How could you be such a monster?”
💡 Cultural Insight: xi fu (daughter-in-law / wife)

In Northern dialects and everyday Mandarin, this term can refer to one's own wife or be used by elders to refer to a daughter-in-law. Here, it reflects an elder reprimanding a younger family member over domestic violence based on family discipline and ethical standards.
