Episode 107
What are you doing?
You can't do that in your condition!
I'm being careful.
You don't need to do that.
It's almost New Year's. I have to clean!
You can hire someone to clean the house!
That's a waste. I can still work.
Your husband is worried too.
He wanted to hire someone but you were against it.
What if something should happen?
I have to do what I can.
I'll stop when I can't work anymore.
Oshin. Oshin!
He's home!
Oshin!
Welcome home! You're home early.
We have a guest.
- A guest? - Yes.
The back room is a mess I'll straighten it up.
No. Don't worry about it.
You should have called me first!
Mother.
Mother!
Is it really you?
Did something happen? What happened?
Nothing. Everyone is fine back home.
Then why did you come without telling me?
You can talk inside.
Fuji hadn't seen Oshin for two years.
Not since her husband died and Oshin had come home.
It was Fuji's first time in Tokyo.
It was her first meeting with Ryuzo too.
What's going on here?
If you'd written to tell me you were coming
the place would have been cleaner.
Ryuzo wanted it to be a surprise.
You sent for her?
I figured you'd need your mother when you give birth.
After all it's your first baby.
I wouldn't know enough to help you.
That's not all.
He also wanted me to see how you live.
I was curious too.
I'd been wanting to meet her for some time too.
I wanted her to be able to see the sights here.
He sent me money too.
I didn't have to ask Shoji or anybody else for travel money.
I'd been wanting to be with you when you had your first baby.
Then I got the letter and money order from Ryuzo.
I was so happy.
Thank you very much.
Thank you!
He came to meet me at Ueno Station.
He said he would be waiting at the exist
but we didn't know what the other looked like.
I was so worried.
But he was holding up this sign.
I can't read but I knew that it was Ryuzo.
I'll keep this sign for as long as I live.
He held it up like this.
I couldn't see anything through my tears.
You took a long time coming out of the gate
so I thought you weren't on that train.
You're so lucky to have a husband like him.
You can bathe first. You must be hungry.
You haven't even made her tea yet!
I'm family. Don't mind me.
We'd better clean up before it gets dark.
I'll help you.
I'd like to change first.
Excuse us.
You did the right thing. I'm impressed.
This is next.
You came at the wrong time.
I didn't come to play. I came to help you.
I can still do a lot of work.
Right.
If a pregnant woman doesn't work
she'll have a more difficult time giving birth
because the baby will get too big.
I had my last two babies out in the fields.
I didn't have time to go home.
Is that right?
This is the last box.
Working makes it easier to give birth.
Shoji's wife wouldn't listen to me and Shoji called me an ogre too.
He wouldn't let his wife do anything.
So she had a hard time with her baby.
She had it coming!
I try to ignore them but it's hard.
It can't be helped. The times have changed.
When I came as a bride I minded my mother-in-law.
I guess I'm lucky.
Ryuzo's mother still doesn't recognize me
as her son's wife but...
You have a good business here.
You have a nice husband and you're having a baby.
It must be hard for you two but at least you have
nobody to answer to. That's the best thing.
We've had our share of problems but we're a real couple now.
I'm grateful and I'm happy you're here.
Take good care of him.
What do you want to eat? I'll make you anything!
I'll be here until you're back on your feet
after giving birth so no luxuries for me!
I'd feel bad for Ryuzo.
You haven't changed at all. You're always so frugal.
We'll go to the public bath together.
The baths here are so beautiful.
I'll wash your back!
What's the matter?
It's like a dream... The two of us talking like this.
After Haru died
I vowed that you wouldn't suffer through life like her.
So I let you run away before your father could sell you off.
I thought then that we'd never see each other again.
Now I'm in Tokyo with you... Under the same roof.
If this is a dream I don't want to wake up!
Geisha?
We don't need geisha tonight. We're having a family dinner.
Yes. Two men and two women.
Were you able to rest?
We're finished cleaning
and I showed her the rest of the house.
I'm so sorry you got put to work so soon after coming.
You sure run a big business here.
I had no idea how big it really was.
I can brag about it when I go home.
Oshin is the most successful one from our village!
I'm so glad I came to see for myself.
I'm not finished yet.
I'm looking for space to house 30 machines.
I want to do it for our baby.
You sure are a businessman! A man should be like that.
Don't flatter him!
I already have more than enough. This is just right for us.
She's always talking like this.
We're all going out for dinner tonight.
That's wasteful. Let me cook us all something.
Oshin.
Then I guess I'll let you treat us.
I've never had such extravagant food.
I wanted you to try it.
This place is famous for its cuisine.
Do you still remember our daikon gruel?
Yes.
What gruel?
We stretched the rice with daikon and made gruel.
Back then we could never get enough to eat.
When I think about that...
It wasn't just us.
All the sharecropper families ate like that.
I didn't think of it as a hardship.
It taught me to be grateful for what I had.
And it taught me to appreciate happiness.
That was a valued lesson.
Young Master grew up in wealth
and that's why he doesn't hold up well in hard times.
Without Oshin who knows how he would've fared.
Please keep taking good care of him.
He is right.
I owe Oshin everything.
You're the luckiest woman in all Japan!
Oshin thought so too.
She wanted to have a good healthy baby.
The future seemed very bright indeed.
