Episode 42
Mother...
I'd like to keep sending you money.
So will you cancel this marriage offer for me?
Don't be silly. Your father can still work.
Your brother Shoji is a man now
so he can take care of the farm by himself.
Haru and Mitsu send us money too.
The younger two are out working too.
So there's only three of us to feed now.
We can manage after you get married.
I'm thinking of getting a job away from home too.
Mother...
Your father and Shoji can manage on their own.
If you leave it'll be just them two at home.
Who will do their cooking and washing?
We still owe the landlord so much
with the interest on the amount we borrowed.
The prices keep going up.
I won't get married.
I can't!
Please cancel this offer for me.
Kaga-ya's found me a job as a live-in.
I asked them for help and they arranged it.
Work as a laborer carrying bales of rice from the warehouse to the boat?
You can't do hard labor like that.
I can still carry two or three bales of rice!
No don't!
If you need money that badly I will keep working.
Please turn down this marriage offer for me!
It's too late now.
Why didn't you refuse when this first came up?
Oshin...
You have someone else you love?
Do you?
You promised to marry someone else?
And can you marry this man?
I don't know but I want to wait for him.
I can't tell the madam myself.
I want to meet this man tomorrow.
Will you let me see him?
- He's not in Sakata. - Where is he?
I don't know.
But he's coming back for me. That's why I want to wait.
I'm going to accept this marriage offer for you.
- Mother! - It's for your own good!
He's a good man!
You're too young to know.
Yes but...
Don't be willful!
Oshin...
You know what it's like to be poor.
Listen to me and the madam.
Do you understand?
Wasn't that your daughter at Kaga-ya?
Yes.
I hear she's got herself a good marriage offer.
You don't have to be there with her?
Kaga-ya takes good care of her.
A sharecropper's daughter shouldn't marry a rich man!
Don't be silly!
You should be there at the ceremony!
I'm so glad the gift exchange ceremony went well.
The wedding ceremony is next.
Learn from the old madam about business
and such before you become a wife.
So Oshin is really getting married.
How can you stand marrying a man you don't love?
Kayo!
I don't want that kind of marriage! That's the same as death!
Don't say such things at this auspicious ceremony!
Marriage without love is merely a tool.
You're the one responsible for carrying on the Kaga-ya name.
We have a husband all ready for you.
You'll be marrying about the same time as Oshin.
Sayo can take over Kaga-ya!
Mother.
I hate seeing you work like that.
It's better than working in the fields carrying a baby on my back.
But you're getting older.
I can still work. At least I get to see you often.
This is from the old madam to you.
Since you couldn't come to the ceremony.
It's food from the ceremony.
That's so considerate of her. I was invited to attend
but I didn't feel right about coming.
Did it go all right?
I'm glad.
What's wrong?
I don't want to get married! I can't marry a man I don't love.
Stop it! Just try it out. It's like riding a horse.
You'll get used to the man and love will come later.
It'll never work out if you have an attitude like that.
You were chosen!
If you try hard you'll be well-taken care of.
I have to get back to work.
Get rid of whatever silly dreams you have.
I hope all is well with you.
I've been traveling in the various villages
of Iwata Akita and Aomori prefectures.
People are set in their ways and my work isn't going too well.
The farmers are all busy with the planting season
and they have little time to talk to me.
I've decided to go back to Tokyo for a while.
I will stop by in Sakata to see you.
I'll see you at the same dunes on May 20th at 3:00 p.m.
You saw your mother?
Wasn't she happy?
You don't seem too happy.
I need to see you.
I trusted you.
I didn't believe the innkeeper
when she said she saw you walking with a man.
I had no idea you were with Mr. Yasuda!
How could you betray me?
I only...
I don't want to hear excuses!
I'm breaking off our friendship!
I'll never have anything to do with you again.
Miss Okayo...
That's all I wanted to say!
Oshin's not coming!
Oshin's getting married!
She had her gift exchange ceremony today.
She's marrying into a rich Sakata family.
She'll be happy now.
Happiness means different things to different people.
I want to go to Tokyo.
I want to go with you! Take me with you.
- Welcome home! - Welcome home!
It took all day to shop with Sayo.
Where's Kayo?
- She's gone out. - Where to?
She didn't say.
We're having important guests over tonight.
She's meeting her future husband.
What about dinner?
We will have what you're making now.
The old madam says not to be too formal.
We want him to see how we really live.
There was a letter for you today.
I put it in the living room.
Thank you.
I had it right there.
Maybe somebody took it in for you.
Oshin knew.
She now knew why Okayo was so upset about Kota.
What was in the letter?
The world seemed to come crashing down all around Oshin.
