It describes a situation where people exaggerate the mistakes of others (the daughter-in-law's mistake is seen as destroying something brand new) while making excuses for their own or their favorites' mistakes (the mother-in-law's broken pot is dismissed as having been old and already broken).

This proverb implies that when a powerful or influential person falls or gets into trouble, they often bring others down with them.
