What does the rural saying "men are afraid of three stutters and women are afraid of three bites" mean?

So far, there are many proverbs circulating in rural areas, which are the crystallization of the wisdom of farmers in the past and also a warning to future generations. Some proverbs feel rough to read, but after careful taste, we find that every word is really that word. Proverbs may have no scientific basis, but they can make people produce a lot of * * * sounds. Today, I'd like to introduce a common saying, "Men are afraid of stuttering three times, and women are afraid of wearing it three times". Does this make sense?

Men are afraid of stuttering. The meaning of this sentence is that in the past, society paid attention to the exterior of men and the interior of women. Therefore, the problem of feeding a large family will fall on the man alone. In the past, many children were born in every family. Many children eat a lot in their teens. In rural areas, there is also an old saying that children at this stage eat a lot, so in the past, they solved the problem of eating for a family.

Women are afraid to wear three clothes. It is said that when the hostess lived, all the clothes at home were bought by women. Because the old loom at home is surprisingly inefficient, if only two or three people wear clothes at home, the problem will be solved easily. For example, a big family, especially a family with many children, would be more troublesome to wear clothes, because the loom at home could not make so many clothes, and there was no extra money to buy them, so the clothes at that time were worn by the boss through the second child. The second child is worn by the third child, and even some families. Several children in the family only have one dress. Whoever goes out wears it, and the rest of the children stay at home. This phenomenon was quite common in the past. Therefore, women are afraid to wear three clothes, and it is said that women who are in charge are most worried about wearing clothes.

Of course, now that our living standard is good, we don't have to worry about food and clothing. Some people don't even know what to wear, but we should always remember that today's happy life is hard-won, and our ancestors bought it for us in hard times.
