WHAT THEY REALLY MEAN (PRAGMATIC SUBTEXT)
“Even though I haven't raised him, my maternal bond still compels me to urge you to do what's best for him.”
💡 Cultural Insight: Biological vs. Nurturing Parentage (生母与养育之恩)

In traditional Chinese family ethics, giving birth creates an indelible natural bond, but failing to raise the child diminishes moral standing, leading the speaker to frame her role as merely 'giving birth' to sound humble.
