Laali trying to get food
There is function going on at someone's house, in the village and Laali comes there with her siblings. The family needs someone from a lower caste to bathe the bride, and then a lady comes and asks Laali if she can perform this custom. Laali agrees but on the condition that food will have to be given to her as well as her siblings. Laali comes into the house and performs the bathing custom. The lady then gives laali some Pakoda's but when Laali is about to leave from there another woman(Badi Thakurani) comes and ask her why she is taking so much food. She then takes all the pakodas from her and leaves her with one. Laali pleads to her not to do this, but she doesn't agree. Then the lady asks her servant to take all these pakodas and give them to the cows because no one will eat the food which has been touched by the "untouchable caste".
Laali goes home, and her mother asks her how come she got just one pakoda even though she performed the custim in such a big house. Laali then explains the entire thing to her mother how badi thakurani took away all the food. Laali's mother than splits the small pakoda into 5 pieces and give's one to each of her four kids. She didn't have any for herself. Then Laali's brother asks for more after he sees one more piece left, but his mom refuses to give it to him because that one is kept for his father and she keeps it in a safe place. Then a guy comes to their house and tells them that Nandu(the father) has gone to catch a snake at thakur ji's house.
A Snake bites Laali
Laali's father is in thakur's courtyard trying to capture the poisonous snake. The entire family comes there and asks him to stop and come home because the snake is poisonous! But then Laali too starts helping her father to catch the snake. While she was trying to capture it, the snake bites her on her arm. Laali falls to the ground and becomes unconscious. The thakur tells Laali's dad and mom to take away their daughter from there! They both take her away and Laali's father sees the bite and is about to suck at it when one of the villager stops him. Because if he sucks out the poison it might enter his body.
Laali's dad looks at Laali in despair, but then he starts sucking out the poison from Laali's arms and spits it out. After many tries Laali still doesn't regain consciousness and the entire family starts crying thinking she is dead. But then Laali slowly regains consciousness and starts to speak, everyone is overly joyed. Her mom gives her a warning to not do this ever again. But laali is worried about food, because they still haven't got any for the night. So she asks his dad to get food from Thakur since his job has been done now.
Home - Laali is introduced further
All the kids are sitting on the floor eating rice with their hands. And their mom smokes up some red chiilies so that no one casts an evil eye on her kids. But Laali's mom is sad and is not eating anything, and laali asks her to eat the rice. But she asks Laali that she has nurtured her so that one day she can risk her life like this? Laali promises that she won't do this again and feeds her mother with her own hands. Her father asks her who feed us with these lovingly hands once you will go away to your sasuraal, laali blushes and runs away.
Outside all the kids are washing clothes. Rakhee(the 2nd oldest sister) asks Laali that she will leave all of them when she goes to her sasurral. Laali blushes on hearing about her sasuraal, and kids tease her by saying that their jiju lives there.They all start teasing her to tell them their jiju's name and Laali is very shy. So they all start singing their jiju's name which is Ganesia or (Ganeshia). Laali sits there and blushes.
Ok now can anyone help me what the names of the kids and the parents are. I am not able to catch the names properly.
