Many people may have heard the old saying that there is no filial son in bedside for a long time. In fact, it means that if the parents have been sick for too long, even those who were once filial will gradually become unfilial.
This is actually a very real problem. When parents are sick, it is right for children to serve around them. After all, parents have nurtured us into adults. To be honest, no amount of repayment of this kindness is too much. Filial piety has always been a traditional virtue of the Chinese nation. But when children have to worry about work while taking care of sick parents at home, they may be able to tolerate it for a short time, but over time, they will definitely be exhausted from running around, and the tempers of children who are unable to cope with all tasks will definitely explode.
In fact, there is another sentence that is more realistic and expresses human nature, that is, there is no good wife in a poor family. The meaning of this sentence is that if the family is always in trouble, then the wife will most likely not be virtuous. This sentence may seem unreasonable, but there are still many merits in it. The two of them got together in the beginning, maybe because of love, but what happened later? It is inevitable that two people will encounter various problems in reality. Not to mention the conflicts with each other's parents, just firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea is a big problem. Life requires bread, and love also requires bread. How can people live without food? Finally, women will run away from home because of family poverty.
There are too many examples like this in life. So it makes sense to say that the ancestors said a lot. These common sayings they summarized are also to warn the world that they must work hard for their own lives.
