Many common sayings summarized by ancient people are good words of wisdom. If you understand the essence of them, you can avoid detours in life, reduce the chance of suffering losses, and avoid the number of regrets. And this "Don't plow your father-in-law's fields to death" means that no matter how poor you are, don't rely on your father-in-law's family, and "Don't enter the radish garden to death of starvation" means don't eat cold foods such as radishes when you are very hungry.

01. Men should be independent and self-reliant if they are too poor to cultivate their father-in-law’s land.

In ancient times, people paid great attention to integrity. They would rather be poor than lose their backbone. No matter how poor they are, they can’t throw it away. The bottom line of being a human being. The father-in-law's land symbolizes the wealth of the woman's family. In ancient times, a married woman was like water thrown out, and the man should support her.

No matter how poor the man is, he cannot abandon his dignity and go to the woman’s house to ask for property or work in the woman’s house. This is tantamount to “stepping in” and completely losing his dignity as a man. He can beg a woman in a humble manner.

You go to plow the fields for your father-in-law, and it is up to the father-in-law to decide how much or how little he will give you, and you cannot say that he is wrong in terms of emotion or reason. In turn, the other party can bully, ridicule, and ridicule you at will.

Faced with such a situation, once a man kneels down, it is difficult to stand up again. From ancient times to the present, who has been able to live a good life even if they cut in the door upside down? Most people swallow their anger, pretend to be stupid on purpose, and can only turn a blind eye to all kinds of bullying and endure it silently.

Such a man will basically be ruined for the rest of his life. If you have given up on yourself, others will not think highly of you.

02. The daughter-in-law has not married yet and needs to help her father-in-law plow more fields

If the man has not officially married the father-in-law’s daughter, he will naturally have to show more attentiveness and show more kindness than his biological father. If you want to get married, please your mother-in-law and father-in-law more, and win over the older generation. Successfully marrying a beautiful wife is a sure thing.

At this time, let alone helping my father-in-law plow the fields, even if I am working as a cow or a horse, as long as my father-in-law is happy, I will be as energetic as I want. As a man, it is the last word to be able to bend and stretch. If you put down your dignity at this time, people will not look down on you, but will think that you are sensible, diligent and filial.

Therefore, whether to plow someone else’s land or not depends on the situation, and one must be flexible and grasp the scale.

03. Don’t go into the carrot garden if you starve to death, and don’t eat randomly.

As the saying goes, “Misfortune comes from the mouth, and disease comes from the mouth.” It means that we should take care of our mouths. Don't talk nonsense, don't eat casually. There are many foods that should not be eaten when you are hungry, and radish is one of them.

It is not suitable to eat spicy and exciting foods on an empty stomach, and radish falls into this category.

In addition, radish aids digestion. It does not fill your stomach, but will make you hungrier and bloated.

On the other hand, radish is a cold food. In an empty stomach, radish will be particularly irritating to the gastrointestinal tract. Coupled with the excessive secretion of gastric acid at this time, it will damage the gastric mucosa and make people feel as painful as heartburn. If you are a person with a weak spleen and stomach, eating a large amount on an empty stomach is more likely to be life-threatening.

Therefore, even in the 21st century with the rapid advancement of science and technology, do not look down on the life experience summarized by the ancients. Listen more to the words of our ancestors and analyze and understand the truth, which will be of great benefit to life.
