These two individuals were likely insinuating that Aunt Yang, now that her daughter had returned and become a teacher, had the means to support her in her old age. They suggested that Aunt Yang, now able to enjoy a comfortable life, no longer cared about the fate of her son's family.
Their insinuations stemmed from the recent happenings in Yang Tao's household. Ever since Aunt Yang was driven out by Mrs. Wang, the latter had no one to boss around. Regardless of whether she wanted to do the housework or not, Mrs. Wang had to shoulder the burden alone. For a day or two, she managed to keep up appearances, but it was a facade that couldn't last.
Mrs. Wang had assumed that Aunt Yang, without a source of income and nowhere else to go, would return after her anger subsided. However, contrary to her expectations, Aunt Yang did not return as she had in the past. Instead, she found a job and a stable source of income.
