You must not ignore the women's advice

Most of the children of our foster home were taken by their relatives for the Durga Puja holidays. Thus, I got some days of freedom from tensions of child care. I thought I would give some time to one of the favorite hobbies - gardening.
I picked up some saplings to plant in our garden. I planted many different trees but when it came to the coconut sapling I was told not to do it.
The lady of the house said it's not right for the master of the house to plant a coconut tree. Why? We don't know. My didi ( elder sister ) has told me so. Perhaps it may not bear fruits or perhaps it may bring down some misfortune.
Whatever it may be, you must not ignore what the women say. You must obey the advice. God forbid if anything untoward befalls you will be squarely blamed for it.
Do you hear any such " advice" around you?

There are a lot of old superstitions but, as you say, it wouldn't be wise to ignore some of them. I hope your coconut tree gets planted soon.

One must do whatever the owner suggests to do! Otherwise no if it has no reasoning!
