Por el camino, Jacinta exploró otra vez el ánimo de su tía, esperando que se hubieran disipado sus prevenciones; pero vio con mucho disgusto que Barbarita continuaba tan severa y suspicaz como el día precedente.

Along the way, Jacinta probed her mother-in-law’s spirit again, hoping that her prejudices had been dispelled; but she noticed much to her displeasure that Barbarita remained as stern and suspicious as the day before.

Thanks Beba. I had forgotten that fact.

The thing is: Barbarita was Jacinta’s aunt before she became her mother-in-law. It’s just another way of referring to her. Yes, you can use ‘mother-in-law’.

Why is she called ' tía, ' Should we translate it by mother-in-law' ?
