Mangalamma Tries To Poison The Children

Meanwhile, V’s wife becomes pregnant and there is happiness everywhere except Mangala (neighbour) who is jealous. She tries to convince everyone around her that V’s family is bad but is unsuccessful. She wishes harm to V’s family and hence poisons their milk hoping it will be given to the vidyapeeta children thus causing death and wholesome grief. But V’s wife accidentally slips the milk and it pours onto the floor except leaving only a few drops which she gives to Mangala who had asked for it earlier. Mangala unsuspecting that this milk is the same milk she had poisoned, drinks and suffers. V realizes that it is poison and saves her somehow. Mangala is ashamed and repents her action. Although she transforms herself, no one believes her.
