Don’t visit relatives if you don’t have money. What’s the next sentence?

Don’t visit relatives if you don’t have money. The next sentence is: “If you are poor, don’t visit relatives; if you are rich, don’t return home.”

"If you are poor, don't visit relatives" means that if you are poor, visiting relatives and friends will be looked down upon, so don't visit. They will think that you are here for a purpose and will cause trouble to them. When you have no money, you have no way to make friends, your friends go around, and you have no way to borrow money. When people are down and out, they will realize that the world is in trouble, and human relationships are like paper and superficial.

People who "don't return home when they are rich" try to go back to their hometown as little as possible when they are rich and powerful, because basically they are snobs who come to flatter you, and most of them are fellow villagers who follow the trend. It’s hard for you to help or not, and you’re helpless. Therefore, if you are poor in the busy city, no one cares about you, and if you are rich in the mountains, you have distant relatives. This is the social reality.

So when you are poor, you must not be short-minded, find ways to get out of the predicament by your own efforts, find ways to save yourself, and don't always think about other people's help. Many people are reluctant to ask for help when they are desperate. The more difficult it is, the more calm they have to be, relying more on themselves, and trying not to trouble others.

It is the integrity of a human being not to seek help from others when you are poor. When people are frustrated, they are more likely to encounter people who add insult to injury. Asking them for help will only make people laugh. It's better to find a way to be yourself and let them look at you differently.
