The second and third brothers, eager to get married, heartlessly drove their father out to a rundown old house. While dreaming sweet dreams of getting wed, the eldest brother and sister-in-law, who work away from home, suddenly return. The two head straight to the old house to pick up their father, fiercely scolding their younger brothers for their unfilial conduct. They bluntly state that the house was built with their own money, and lecture the two on how filial piety is the greatest of all virtues. The second and third brothers are scolded into shame and admit their mistakes, while the eldest brother feels a pang of heartache, lamenting that a thousand pieces of gold cannot buy the grace of parents.
