Who would have known her cutest simple face, dressed frugally in the era of pity.

The finished product cannot be damaged.

Diligence is never poor, and there is nothing to eat.

If you don't save small money, big money will be wasted. (UK)

If you have a home, dung is like treasure; Black sheep, money is like grass.

Spending now is extravagant, and the future will be empty.

Don't pour out the accumulated things in buckets. (Kazakh)

There is mangoku grain at home, and the pile is not long.

It is better to kill the cows and eat the meat than to keep them for milking. (Tibetan)
