There were many ways to address someone of equal or senior status.
Someone might be referred to as "someone's family," like Zhao Chunhan being called "Da Fuhu Jia."
Or "someone's mother," like Qian Zhenzhu being called "Xiaoshu's mother."
As for people like Shen Nanwei, Jiang Darong's wife, they would only be addressed like that in very formal situations or when people were not quite familiar with each other.
So, Mrs. Zheng's recent calling out of "Nanwei" at the door was an exception.
Originally, she wanted to call out "Sister Shen" or "Xiaoya's mother," but the latter name was firmly rejected by Shen Nanwei.
She has her own name.
The woman followed closely behind Mrs. Zheng, nodding her head nervously at Wei Xiaoqi.
This was her first time at the edge of the village.
It was also her first time stepping into this spacious and sturdy courtyard.
