The commotion of howling and shouting drew all the people at the nearby market to come and see what was going on.
"What happened?"
"I don't know, it seems like she's crying and shouting that her son is unfilial!"
"I was listening right there, they were talking about the in-laws."
They said the in-laws were too stingy. They came to their daughter's house to do some chores, and the daughter gave them a few eggs, but the in-laws refused. They're like a miser who won't give a penny.
