I think that the main problem of a story is MONEY, but it is Lakshmi's stepfather that causes this problem because of his gambling. They barely have any money, and the dad spends that little that they have gambling. Lakshmi's stepfather does not have one arm, so he doesn't work, which makes it worse because they owe a lot of money and he doesn't do anything to help.
