Vadivu takes advantage of Rajeswari's salary and dowry. For the marriage of her first daughter Malini, Vadivu uses Rajeswari's jewels. Then, the groom loses his job, so Pandian and Rajeswari decide on abortion for the family's benefit. In the meantime, Malini becomes pregnant. Rajeswari, who was angry to be treated as a cash cow by Vadivu, resigns from her job. Vadivu, who expected much from her salary, becomes upset and she tries to set Rajeswari on fire but Velmurugan saves her.
