summary of village by the sea

In chapter 1,I learnt about the members of the family(Lila-the older sister,Bela and Kalma.the younger sisters and Hari-their older brother and their dog-Pinto).I also read about the family's plight(their mother being bed-ridden,their drunkard of a father and not to mention,they are also very poor).Hari struggles to help his family get food and money and he plans on working in the factory but has doubts about it.Meanwhile,he has to make ends meet by fishing for his family's dinner or working for the de Silva's in bombay.
I think that Hari is a very filial son and that Lila,Bela,Kalma,his parents are very fortunate to have him as a son.However,even though his father is always drunk,he should not curse his father for without his father,he wouldn't even be alive.
