Episode 95
Oshin visited a midwife that she knew from Taka's salon.
She was indeed pregnant.
Oshin felt the irony of life.
She had already decided to leave Ryuzo.
You can't divorce him now that you're pregnant...
I'm sure you can manage to raise
the baby by yourself with your skill.
But a baby should have a father.
Forget about leaving him.
But I see no future for us anymore.
He doesn't like it that I have to support him.
But he won't even try to earn any money
instead he depends on the money I make.
It's hard on him and it's worse for me.
We're just hurting each other now.
There's no reason for us to stay together.
This is what happens when a woman
is expected to support her husband.
I've been through it myself.
A hairdresser's husband... Isn't that what they say?
It's true... It just doesn't work.
But it's not the man's fault.
With someone else they might be happy to work
but when a woman earns enough for the both of them
they come to expect it.
They begin thinking that they don't have to work
to support their families. We end up ruining a good man.
The more we do the worse it is for the man.
That is the curse of the hairdresser.
It's not that we don't meet good men.
We end up making worthless men out of good ones.
I realized that so i divorced my husband.
I thought it would be good for him.
And I've never married again.
I could do it because I had no children.
It can't be helped...
Children are a blessing from the gods.
It's the job of both parents to raise them.
Don't leave him.
Just work until the baby comes.
I'm sure the news of a baby will make him want to work again.
Get yourself together.
There's nothing better than being blessed with a child.
If you're not grateful the gods will punish you.
Cheer up. For the baby's sake.
Are you all right?
Oshin?
I'm quitting this work.
You have just made me realize things.
You're quitting?
I began working again to help my husband.
I didn't want him to suffer.
That's why I came to you for a job.
But I was wrong.
I've taken away his sense of being a man.
That's why he drinks and fools around.
I was a fool to think that I was
helping him by earning all of our money!
I'm sorry to bring it up so suddenly
but I'd like to stop working as of today.
I know how you feel but you need to work!
What will happen if...?
I don't care if we starve!
It's the only way I can save my marriage.
I know I'm causing you a lot of trouble
but my marriage depends on it. Please let me quit!
This is just like you...
You have guts.
If you're prepared to starve go ahead and give it a try.
I'll manage without you.
But don't you give up!
I'll miss you...
Do come and visit once in a while.
Please make up your mind!
Oshin would never agree to it.
It's your duty to convince her.
If she refuses to come to Saga with us
we'll just have to divorce. It's our fate.
I don't really want to return home to Saga
and I don't want to part from Oshin.
But I don't want to have to keep
depending on Oshin for our livelihood.
It's better that we get divorced. I'll talk to Oshin about it.
I'm home!
I'll tell her now. Help me.
Welcome home.
You didn't go out tonight?
No I needed to talk to you.
Good. I have something to tell you too.
Oshin...
I quit my job today.
Did you fight?
No the work is too much for me.
I'll take it easy at home for a while.
I have you for a husband. I don't have to work.
I'll depend on you.
I'll just become a housewife again.
I'm glad. We can all go to Saga together.
Gen and I were just talking about that.
Saga?
Life here in Tokyo is too much.
We can't go on living here anymore.
No I won't go to Saga.
I can't just leave you here in Tokyo by yourself!
Of course not. We're husband and wife.
We can't live apart!
What will I do here all by myself?
That's why we should all go to Saga!
No!
Then we'll have to live apart or divorce!
Why can't we all keep living here in Tokyo?
The business isn't bankrupt yet.
If you put your mind to it you can rebuild it.
That's why I quit my hairdresser's job.
We have a responsibility to keep living here in Tokyo.
But...
Besides we can't divorce. I'm three months pregnant.
The baby will come next January.
Really?
You'll still leave me and go back to Saga?
For me and our baby...
It's your duty to work to rebuild our business.
I'll rely on you and depend on you.
Don't even think about going back to Saga!
I'm so glad I don't have to work anymore.
I suddenly feel tired.
Please go and rest.
I'll go to the bath first.
If you quit won't Otaka have a hard time?
- Ryuzo. - Yeah?
Our baby and I need you. We don't need money.
We just want to be a family together.
Welcome home!
We have to pay 10 yen for electricity tomorrow.
All you do is sit around the house all day.
Can't you get the money to pay that bill?
I depend on you to pay all the bills now.
If they turn off the lights so what?
We won't die without any electricity.
Oshin did as little as possible and their money ran out quickly.
But Oshin did not go back to work.
She was waiting for the moment
when their lives would be destitute.
