Episode 89
Hello! It's the rice man.
Thanks but we don't need any today.
Can you make us mochi?
Of course. But I'm here to collect today.
Then please go talk to Genemon out in front.
He told me I'd have to wait. That's why I'm here asking you.
The people out front don't seem to understand.
I'm not saying we won't pay.
I'm just asking you to wait until next year.
We have been doing business for a long time!
We'll pay first thing next year!
You can't pay me such a small amount?
Don't give us a hard time...
Don't worry. We'll pay.
- I hope you'll keep your word. - Trust me!
I sure hate to see a man cry. I give up.
Gen...
I should give you money for household expenses.
No don't worry.
I've already paid the rice man.
What? He came to you?
I told him I'd pay him later. I'll never buy from him again!
It's the economy... People are all hurting.
But I had no idea we were in such bad shape.
My husband hadn't told me anything.
Don't worry. He's out collecting now.
Please use this money for emergencies
until the money comes in.
Ryuzo's father gave us this to celebrate our wedding.
We have already had a party so use it.
I couldn't possibly... Keep it for when you need it.
No this is when we all need it! I don't want you to suffer alone.
Don't worry. I'm still doing hair for people.
I can take care of the household expenses.
Let's just all help and support each other!
Then I'll borrow this money and I'll pay you back.
But...
We won't tell Ryuzo about it at all!
Welcome!
- But our owner is away just now. - I've already spoken to him.
I'm returning the fabrics you brought to us.
Why?
We have lost too many customers lately.
Nobody out there wants new suits!
That's why I didn't want these in the first place.
He said I could pay whenever I got the money
but he keeps coming to try and collect from me!
- Bring it in! - Okay.
We need another war to improve the economy.
Another World War would help our economy...
But it's not right to wish for war!
I don't mind being poor. But no more wars!
I'm not afraid of poverty. We can start over again.
I have been through it many times
so I'm not afraid of living in poverty.
- Please close up now. - Okay.
Go keep my husband company.
What's wrong with you both?
I guess he wasn't able to collect much money today.
But there is no use worrying.
I had no idea you two were so small-minded!
A woman can never understand a man...
Men have responsibilities!
I can persevere but I feel badly for him!
He had to lay off all our workers.
He can't afford to keep them in this economy.
Business used to be so good...
But we have to keep this business going.
Excuse me!
Oritsu!
Oshin...
What's the matter? Did something happen to Otaka?
I need your help.
She's not doing well.
Is she ill?
No. She's getting more clients than she can handle
because it's the end of the year. She didn't want to turn them away.
She needs help!
Please help her before she collapses.
I know you have duties here at home
and she'd never ask you for help herself. That's why I'm here.
There's no other way. We need your help!
We haven't had business like this in ages.
But she's wearing herself out!
I'll talk to my husband and I'll come to help you.
I know I'm being selfish
but I want to help out my old teacher.
I owe it to her.
Sure. Go help her if that's what you want.
Thank you!
But I'll probably have to work late.
On New Year's Eve I'll have to work all night.
It was just Gen and me before you came.
Besides with business so bad New Year's isn't worth celebrating.
We won't have many guests.
Don't worry. I can handle everything here.
I'm sorry...
Thank you very much.
Oshin!
I thought you'd be busy so I've come to help.
Thank you for waiting. This way please.
If I knew this would happen I should never have gotten married.
What you're saying?
If I were alone I could live with being bankrupt
but I could never do that to Oshin.
Your wife is not a weak person.
She's ready to face up to any hardships with you.
We haven't gone under yet.
Sure our merchandise isn't moving now.
But better times are ahead!
I hope we can hold on until then.
Don't talk like that.
Just concentrate on selling what we have on hand.
Then we'll wait for the economy to pick up.
We can think of new ways of doing business.
Welcome home!
You waited up for me?
Come on in and get warmed up.
He's already asleep.
Thank you!
You must be so tired.
Thanks to you I was able to pull through.
Thank you.
I enjoyed working!
You'll never get rich like that!
This is your pay. It includes tips.
I didn't come to get paid...
I just wanted to pay back your kindness.
You're a hairdresser.
You should get paid!
I know you don't need it but take it anyway.
In the end Oshin took the money.
It wasn't much but she needed it now.
She was paid 50 yen.
And this money was to change Oshin's life.
Thanks to Avallac'h and XrayMind at D-Addicts.
