Episode 120
Ryuzo and Oshin had come to stay with his parents in Saga
but they were put to work in the fields from the following day.
Oshin thought it only natural that they work
for their room and board.
But the work of opening up a new field
for cultivation proved to be very hard.
I'm so hungry. Let's eat!
There's another hour of work before lunch.
They can't possibly do that kind of work!
I was put to work in the fields by your mother!
They're not like you!
How's that?
It's only natural that they work. It's only fair to Fukutaro!
We can't spoil them. It's for their own good.
Ryuzo and Oshin must work to preserve
the harmony of the household.
Of course you wouldn't understand such things!
You don't pay any attention to the household
and just do as you please.
Here.
Thank you.
Why didn't you bring tea?
I'm not allowed to touch things in the kitchen.
Just say it's for me.
Why don't you ask for it yourself?
Men don't do such things.
Is this all?
That's what she gave me.
You must be kidding!
I can't work with just this much rice!
Why get upset at me? I guess she felt it was enough.
It can't be helped. We're freeloaders.
Tsuneko's just letting us know that's all she's willing to give us.
That's nonsense!
At least you get rice. We can't afford it.
We don't have rice unless it's a festival.
You only have potatoes?
Sharecroppers and farm hands eat potatoes.
We can't even get our fill of that.
Mother still rules the kitchen at home.
And I still have three unmarried sister.
- I feel badly for Sawa... - I don't mind.
Really!
All new brides have to put up with hardships.
So that's how things are here in Saga?
I'll just eat half of a rice ball.
No! You need to make milk for Yuu.
This reminds of my childhood in Yamagata.
We were hungry everyday.
And I wanted so much to get away from it...
I guess I'll just have to bear with it again.
I'll go tell them
that we can't work all day on a single rice ball each!
You're back!
Go take your bath.
I'm starving!
Oh come on. Be a man.
I can't work with a meager lunch like that!
I understand...
I worked with Kozo. He has a pretty wife.
She works hard too. Where did he find her?
She is a former harlot from Shimabara.
A harlot?
She is five years older than he is too!
Don't talk to that woman. She is an outcast.
She sure didn't seem like that. She's very warm and friendly.
Oshin.
So what if she was a harlot. She's a decent woman now.
Don't you dare speak to me like that!
What's wrong with having been a harlot?
Don't talk back to my mother!
She has no manners at all!
Just get inside!
Here. Have some mochi. I'll make you some tea.
Eat them here. There's not enough to go around.
I'll take them back to Oshin.
There's not enough for the both of you.
A man works harder than a woman.
Oshin works harder than I do.
Besides she gives milk to Yuu. She needs to eat too.
Don't spoil her so much! No wonder she's like that.
I don't hate Oshin...
It's just that I have to control her that's all.
It's only natural that a son's wife serves her husband's family.
I can't treat Oshin any differently.
She has to learn the rules of this house!
Eat them now. You love mochi.
- Oshin. - Yes?
A woman shouldn't complain to her husband about how hungry she is.
A wife should give her share to her husband if he's still hungry.
Saga women are all like that!
Keep that in mind if you want to be one of us!
So here we are at the Ariake Sea.
I told you that we'd be traveling for a long time.
I had no idea that you spent time here.
Osawa and I used to talk here...
She was my only friend...
She and I were the outsiders.
That former harlot?
I wonder how she's been...
She seemed young
but she was already about 33 back then.
I'd like to see her.
She used to console me.
So many things happened here.
There was this silly incident that I remember.
I wanted to do Osawa's hair one day.
She had thick beautiful hair.
That's beautiful!
I'd been longing to wear my hair like this again.
That's why kept my hairdressing tools.
But I never thought I'd see my hair like this again.
You lucky man!
I'm glad you like it.
I haven't done hair in a long time.
All my tools were destroyed in the fire
so I had given up on doing hair again.
What will your mother say about my hair?
Let her say what she wants.
That hairstyle is perfect for my wife!
I won't let anyone say anything!
Thank you!
You've realized my dream!
You're really beautiful.
Mother wishes to see you.
- Oshin! - Yes?
You've brought shame upon the Tanokura family!
I told you to stay away from that harlot!
And you went ahead and did her hair!
She was just having fun...
You're too easy on her!
The whole village is talking about it!
People even came to ask if Oshin could do their hair too!
Not just one or two either!
Really?
It's so shameful...
A Tanokura woman can't admit she used to be a hairdresser!
I'll go do their hair.
We need the money! Please let me go!
I can earn more by doing that than working in the fields!
Oshin!
Please!
Ryu...
What kind of woman have you married?
She's an embarrassment to our family name!
I don't want to see your face again!
Oshin didn't know why Okiyo was angry.
But this was to cause an even bigger rift between them.
