There is a saying in the countryside that "worthless people visit their in-laws". Is it still applicable now?

This statement does not apply now. Visiting your in-laws is not worth a penny. It means that if the daughter is married, it will be a bit humiliating and fall in price for her parents to visit the man's house one day.

In ancient China, the idea that men were superior to women was serious, so women's status was low, and the married daughter had no status in her husband's family. Both parents only meet when they are engaged, and there is nothing that won't move at ordinary times. Therefore, when a married daughter meets her parents, her parents will not take the initiative to visit her unless she goes back to her family. Therefore, there is a saying that "married women pour water". Of course, there will also be cases where parents take the initiative to visit their daughters. Then this situation is mostly because the woman's parents want her in-laws. However, the man's parents will definitely not take a good look at this. That's why there is a saying that "in-laws' visits are not worth a penny".

But these are old sayings, and our situation is completely different now. From engagement to marriage, the woman's family has a high status. Usually, the man's family comes to discuss the bride price, and the wedding date is mainly the woman's family. On the contrary, the man's family status has declined, but the man's family tries to meet what the woman wants. What we see now is more that the woman has the upper hand. It can be seen that what has been handed down from ancient times is completely unsuitable for modern times.

In fact, with the progress of the times, many things left by our ancestors can no longer meet the needs of our modern society. In our society where men and women are equal, the status of women has also improved, and it will be higher and higher in the future. Therefore, we need to selectively inherit and discard some things left by our ancestors.
