胳膊肘往外拐。(Gēbozhǒu wǎngwài guǎi.)Somebody helps another person, not the one who is closer to himself.

Explanation

按照常理,胳膊肘只能向里弯曲,而“胳膊肘往外拐”的字面意思是胳膊肘往外弯曲,比喻帮助别人(外人),不帮助自己人(内部的人),进而损害了和自己关系更亲密的人的利益。
It is a common sense that elbows can only turn in. The literal meaning of “胳膊肘往外拐” is that the elbow stretches outward. It metaphorically means somebody helps another person, not the one who is closer to himself that does harm to the benefit of the closer one.
Words:

利益lìyì:benefit;

弟弟dìdi brother.
