What it means

Women's quarrels should not be imitated; anyone who tries to copy that kind of behaviour ends up with no one left who gets along with them. Women, especially mothers, who constantly quarrel bring disharmony to the whole family.

Word for word

A querulous woman makes the servants lose weight.
