January Night
Süžeeskeem Tekst
- Halku comes into the house and tells his wife that the landlord has come. He tells her to give him the money she has been saving.
- The landlord's come! Get the Rupees you set aside. I'll give him the money and somehow or other we'll get along without it
- There are only 3 rupees. How will we buy the blanket if we give the money to him? How are you going to survive the cold nights in the fields?
- Tell him we'll pay him after the harvest, not right now.
- Halku considered her words for a second. Without a blanket he couldn't possibly bear the cold at nights. But the landlord wouldn't be put off; he would insult and threaten Halku.
- It did not matter if he died in the cold weather as long as he could just take care of the landlord for now.
- Munni drew away from him. Her eyes were angry and she started admonishing him
- You just tell me what other plan can be found. Is somebody going to gift you a blanket? God knows how many debts are left over that we cannot pay off. You should give up tenant farming!
- The work's killing you. Whatever you harvest goes to pay up the arrears, so why not finish with it? Earn some money for your own belly and not someone elses. I won't give you the money, I WON'T!
- Well then, I'll have to put up with his abuse then...
