Initially the village folk would come to his home to get their letters written, but his mother did not approve of it, so he decided to set up a small work space near the post office.
However, Munni is killed after winning the election by the opposition, and he learns a shocking truth about Kamla's husband, who used to sell his blood so he could earn a reasonable amount of money.
Mahadev, under the pseudonym Sukhdev, reveals that Munnibai became a successful politician, becoming an MLA, or Member of the State Legislature, with high connections and powerful people surrounding her.
Amid all this good news, Mahadev notes that Ram Kumar and Shobha Rani were lynched because members of their community opposed a widow getting remarried.
While most people consider an ill-starred person to be a great misfortune, Mahadev notes that he became successful due to his marriage, as he paid down his farmland mortgage, built a wonderful house, and realised his dream of writing a novel.
