"Integrity doesn't pick apricots outside the wall, and the poor don't marry lazy women" means that integrity doesn't have an affair with women with apricots outside the wall, and the poor don't marry lazy women.
In fact, "don't pick apricots outside the wall" means that in marriage, you should first lead an honest and clean life, don't mess around casually, and cherish yourself. This is a kind of protection and respect for yourself and your future partner.
And "the poor don't marry lazy wives" is better understood. If a poor family marries a lazy wife and then goes home, if the wife doesn't take care of her husband and children at home and be filial to her parents, she just idles around all day and makes ends meet, which will undoubtedly not make the already poor family worse. Moreover, the lazy wives of poor families are often the most likely to cause wars between mother-in-law and even sister-in-law. Imagine a family arguing and complaining about who washes the dishes and mops the floor all day. How can Qixin and Qi Xin work together to meet a better future?
It is more expensive for a woman to keep herself, but it is more expensive for a man to keep a woman alone.
"Loyalty" ranks first in marriage. Loyalty requires the efforts of both parties, and one party alone cannot persist.
Life is very long, and you can always meet all kinds of people and see all kinds of scenery along the way. But no matter what kind of scenery, you are still indifferent and determined to walk the long road of life hand in hand with the people at your bedside.
As the saying goes, "wine and wine are intoxicating, simple tea and light rice see people's hearts", and true feelings are always reflected in the ordinary.
