Episode 73
Oshin was out on a house call.
It was all a part of her daily routine.
With all the letters I sent out
I hardly got any of my customers back.
Maybe just enough to cover half the money for having the letters written.
The economy really is bad isn't it?
Ryuzo hasn't come by maybe his business is bad too.
You sent a letter to Ryuzo too?
You too?
Oh no!
I had Oshin write me one to Ryuzo too.
- Why didn't you tell us Oshin? - I'm sorry.
It's not for you to tell us.
We all asked you to keep it a secret.
Ryuzo must have been very surprised.
I'm embarrassed...
Nobody really loves him and he knows that!
Maybe he is marrying someone from Saga.
His mother is here from the country.
You seem to know a lot.
I was called to do her hair today.
No wonder he hasn't come by.
What's his mother like?
Like the wife of any landowner. She seems very difficult.
Let's give up on Ryuzo!
But she seemed nice.
I'll bet she tipped you a lot.
No. She just gave me what I asked.
She sounds tight!
That's how one gets rich.
Ryuzo was always free with his money.
He's the third son. He's probably spoiled.
You know... He's kind of absentminded.
That's what I liked about him.
Forget him... He's getting married!
I know.
Oshin couldn't care less about Ryuzo.
She had no idea that the Tanokuras
were just then talking about her.
Oshin just listened to the girls gossiping.
What's wrong with her?
You were praising her for being so good.
She is good as a hairdresser.
But to be your bride is another story.
If she's a good person that's all that matters.
Can't you see?
We need a bride suitable for the Tanokura house!
Who cares about that? We're just Saga farmers!
How dare you talk like that!
We were one of the very few who
were allowed to have family names!
The Meiji period is over it's the ninth year of Taisho now.
It's an era of democracy!
I'm the third son and I'm independent.
I don't want to be tied down to the family name!
You're still a Tanokura... I won't let you do as you please.
You got her to come here so I could see her.
I didn't choose her on impulse.
I know that she is the only one
who can help me throughout my life.
Ryuzo...
I've known a lot of women here in Tokyo...
And I've fallen in love too.
But Oshin is the first girl I want to marry.
She got me thinking about marriage.
It's gone to his head... It's no use talking to him.
She's got him wrapped around her finger.
Cool off your head!
But mother...!
Your mother's right.
A Tanokura can't marry a hairdresser.
I'll never approve!
I'm so sorry! I should have watched him.
That's right. Why do you think I sent you here?
I had asked you to keep your eye on him!
You've spoiled him too much.
I knew no good could've come of him coming out to Tokyo
and that's why I sent you here with him.
I've failed.
She has visited here a couple of times.
But I had no idea he wanted her.
Maybe things have gone farther than we realize...
No... He would never do anything immoral!
He's a man. It's possible.
Ryuzo is very sincere...
I'm sure she put the idea in his head!
Yes I understand.
I fell for the wrong girl as a young man myself.
That's why I've never taken a wife.
I didn't want that to happen to our young master.
We must do something about it immediately!
It's all my fault so I'll take care of it.
We must make the marriage meeting happen.
I'll stay here until I can change his mind.
I can't go back home like this!
Good morning.
- Good morning. - Good morning.
You're up early Oshin. Don't you ever sleep?
You were up late again last night.
I had to sew a kimono.
I hear you do good work as a hairdresser too.
What will you do with all your money?
Are you supporting a man or something?
You're pretty. I'm sure the men don't leave you alone.
You're from the Tanokura Store!
Thank you for your business.
Does the lady want me to come back?
No I came to talk to you.
I don't have much to offer you.
Sorry to bother you so early in the morning.
I wanted to catch you before you went out.
What can I do for you?
I'll get right to the point...
I have 200 yen here...
Please break off with our young master.
Forget all about him.
If that's not enough I'll get you more money.
Just don't ever see him again!
I don't understand...
I know you want to deny it...
I don't want to think that you're toying with him.
If you love him please leave him.
I don't know what you two have promised.
Please forget everything that happened.
I think you're mistaken... There's nothing between us.
You can't fool me. He's told us!
He wants you to be his bride.
He said that? No way!
There's nothing at all between us! Maybe you have the wrong Oshin?
He told us after you came to do his mother's hair.
There's no mistake!
But I really don't have anything to do with him.
I have no reason to accept this money.
Please take it and leave!
You still won't admit?
He bought you that mirror stand.
I remember seeing a bill for it.
I thought it was strange so I checked into it.
And it was for Tanimura Shin!
- I did... - No need to explain.
I should've scolded him for it then. It's my oversight.
We already have a girl in mind for him.
Please help me by breaking things off with him.
- I'll get you more money! - That's enough!
I have nothing at all to do with him.
Why would I want him anyway?
I'd refuse him even if he were to ask!
Get out! I'm sick of listening to you!
Get out of here!
You idiot! What have you done?!
I knew you wouldn't understand... That's why I went directly to her.
She doesn't know yet.
No wonder she seemed so confused.
How could you do that?
I was going to ask Oshin after I talked to mother.
Now you've ruined everything!
Maybe that's for the best... You two weren't meant to be.
She's no good... She yelled at me!
I don't blame her. It's your fault.
Now it's all over. Please forget her.
No I won't!
Oshin was upset.
She was more angry since she had no feelings for Ryuzo whatsoever.
She was very upset with old Genemon.
