This scene is portraying that times have changed. Back in the old days when Vito was around the whole family was there, the house was always crowded with happiness. Now that micheal is Don everythings empty, everythings depressing, his sister ran off to be a whore, his wife has an abortion. People are trying to get rid of Micheal. Its showing how times have changed drastically from when Vito was Don.
