A mother and daughter have just been reunited after the mother's release from prison.
For some reason I'm not coming up with solutions I like...talked off topic, said the wrong thing, nothing seems right...
Спустя 13 лет я смогла-таки поехать к маме. Встретились в Сибири два самых родных человека, мать и дочь, и в тоже время мы обе были чужие--говорили невпопад, больше плакали и молчали.

interrupting each other; mumbled something, but mostly cried and said nothing
"говорить невпопад" may mean two things here:
1) they both spoke interrupting each other, without trying to listen. A lot things and feelings to speak out, so it's a possible case.
2) they were mumbling words, like speaking not clear, be in a hurry to tell everything, and this is a possible case too
Then they were exhausted of words, so they simply cried.

Да, но "невпопад" подразумевает, что говорили сбивчиво, каждая своё

: Имхо "невпопад" вовсе не означает mumbling. Невпопад можно и мамбл, а можно и говорить вполне отчетливо. Теплое с мягким :)

imho, нужно читать внимательно. Mumble words - только один из нескольких вариантов.

НЕВПОПАД (+0 слов) - НЕВПОПАД нареч. некстати, неуместно или не к делу; неудачно, не в угад, неладно. Невпопад пришел, не в угоду поклонился. Невпопад слово молвилось. И хорошо, да невпопад. Наше все невпопад.

: вот пояснять, что такое "невпопад" было и впрямь некстати. Это и так ясно. Вы знаете, что такое тротуар?

"Emma" by Jane Austen
CHAPTER 29
"My dear, you are too particular," said her husband. "What does all that signify? You will see nothing of it by candlelight. It will be as clean as Randalls by candlelight. We never see any thing of it on our club-nights."
The ladies here probably exchanged looks which meant, "Men never know when things are dirty or not;" and the gentlemen perhaps thought each to himself, "Women will have their little ***nonsenses*** and needless cares."
