I agree with your summary of the No Name Women, but to me it seems the main idea behind it is that women in those days in China were basically treated very poorly. The village she lived in seemed to be looking for anytime when the women would mess up.
If I were you I would not say the big problem with that lady was having two sons. I think the real problem was how she got those kids. I guess it can't be a problem in any society to have two children, the problem can be when you are having them without a father.
