Old people in rural areas often say that "in-laws' visits are not worth half a penny". What's the point?

This should be said in two aspects. In the past, men were superior to women, and there was indeed a saying that "women's in-laws came to the door, and a penny was not worth it"; However, in contemporary society, everyone pays attention to equality. In rural areas, men outnumber women. Marrying a wife will almost consume the whole family's efforts. For girls, it is coaxed. On the contrary, there has been a phenomenon that "men and in-laws come to the door, and a penny is not worth it".

In ancient times, in-laws were bound to have something, and nine times out of ten it was not a good thing. Therefore, in our countryside, not many in-laws have close communication, and generally everyone has the opportunity to visit in-laws. This is especially true in ancient times when men were superior to women. Often a woman marries a chicken and follows a dog, and then she becomes a man's house.

In ancient times, if the man's family was powerful or rich, his in-laws were even more unequal, while the material life in ancient times was poor. Generally speaking, because of the couple's problems, their in-laws will not visit them. It may be because the in-laws can't open the pot and borrow money, food and things, and because the relationship is not equal, they are still passive in Nuo Nuo, so there is a saying that "the in-laws' visit is not worth half a penny". More accurately, it should be "a visit by a female in-laws is not worth half a penny."

Now people pay attention to equality, and the unequal relationship between in-laws has long since ceased to exist. However, because it is difficult to marry a daughter-in-law, the man's family is generally accustomed to his daughter-in-law and dares not say too much. He even has an attitude of "women are superior to men", and his children are greeted with smiles when they visit their in-laws, for fear of being taken bad care of. On the contrary, there is a joke that "it is not right for a man and his in-laws to come to the door." Whether it is a woman's in-laws or a man's in-laws, "in-laws come to the door and are not straight" means that in-laws have no weight and are not straight. Up to now, there is little communication between male and female parents-in-law, mainly for fear of talking too much, affecting the feelings between children and making jokes.
