Episode 131
Oshin was beaten down physically a well as emotionally.
In a month's time, her wound had healed,
and the pain had gone away.
But she still had no use of her right hand.
Not being able to do her share of the work
was making her relationship with Okiyo more intolerable.
Even Ryuzo was drifting further apart from her.
She was five months pregnant,
but she still hadn't told him about it.
That's enough for today.
We don't get anything for working anyway.
Since you can't do your share, we can't even meet our quota.
I wish you would get better soon!
I'll visit Gen's grave on my way home.
Gen...
I was happy when we all lived together...
I wish you were still with us...
I have something for you.
It's an Iwata-obi for your baby. This is the Day of the Dog.
I want you to have it, even if you won't use it.
I'm just concerned that you haven't told anyone.
I went to a shrine in town to get this for you.
I didn't want to go to our local shrine.
This is a lucky sash, so it'll bring you happiness.
Thank you.
There's no need to thank me.
I used some of that money you gave me.
I have to work in the fields,
so I've had no time to go to the shrine myself.
And I didn't want to tell anyone about it.
You haven't told your husband either?
Hasn't he noticed?
We have been sleeping apart for a while now.
I don't mean to complain to him so much,
but I suppose he thinks I nag him a lot.
It's the same with us, too.
I wish he could just listen to me.
But he can't even do that much... A woman is destined to be alone.
I guess men have it badly, too.
They have to put up with their mothers.
That's true.
My husband had to spend the family savings to buy me out,
so my husband can't say anything to anyone at home.
But your situation is so different from mine.
It's the same.
They were all against us marrying.
Now we're no longer independent, so it is even worse.
We're being kept and fed by his family now.
I wish I could do my fair share of work...
But I can't with the way I am now.
I thought you were all better.
I'd always heard about how in-laws were hard on wives,
but I never believed it.
My grandmother lived with us when I was small.
We were so poor that we didn't even get our fill of daikon gruel.
But Grandma and my mother always got along so well.
That's why I couldn't believe what people said about in-laws.
I guess it's my fault...
My mother didn't resent her mother-in-law.
She took such good care of her in-laws...
But I have no such feelings for mine.
All I think about is running away.
I guess I'll have to try harder,
to get her to like me now that I can't run away.
If I could only get along with her...
Then maybe Ryuzo and I could love each other again.
Otherwise, this new baby will have a tough time...
That's right.
I am sure your mother-in-law will understand.
I can give birth all on my own...
I don't care if nobody will celebrate...
- I'm back. - Thanks.
- Oshin. - Yes?
No word of thanks to me for caring for Yuu?
I'm sorry. Thank you.
I have to wash his diapers and everything!
- Let me wash them... - Never mind!
You can't even wring them out properly.
I will take him to the fields starting tomorrow.
That's not what I'm talking about. I'm concerned about your attitude!
You leave Yuu in the care of others,
and can't even do much work in the fields.
What's this about visiting Gen's grave?
Ryuzo was complaining about how he has to cover for you at work.
I'm trying to help you by caring for your baby.
And I know you can't work your fair share.
I've given up on that. So why are you going off
visiting graves and doing other such activities?
You can't blame me for complaining like this!
Ryuzo, you can't even control your wife!
Never mind!
He can eat gruel now.
Thank Tsuneko for making Yuu's meals.
She cooks for him and does his diapers.
I'm taking you to a clinic in town tomorrow.
This is getting to be too much for you.
If you can get better, it's better sooner than later.
She's all well!
Why go to a doctor now? Doctors aren't free!
I'm taking her, so you have no say in it!
Yuu is so attached to you now.
He doesn't even cry for his mother now.
And that's just fine.
A doctor can't help her.
There's nothing wrong with her, so what can a doctor do?
Oshin is just lazy, that's all!
Thank you for letting me go.
How did it go?
Make me tea, and for Oshin, too.
I will change, and go to the fields now.
Never mind. You can rest today.
There is still time before sunset to work.
Thank you.
- What did the doctor say? - Just make the tea!
What did the doctor say?
What did he say?!
He says there is nothing wrong with me.
He says I should just train it to work.
I just need to try harder.
I need to talk to you.
More complaints...
What is it?
I heard about what the doctor said.
There is nothing I can do about it.
Ryuzo...
Let Oshin go back home for a while.
Her mother and brother are still in Yamagata.
With her hand like that, it's too hard on her here.
Let her go home.
- I'll raise Yuu here. - But Mother...!
Oshin has no will to work.
It's getting better. Give her time!
Let her get well at home.
Who knows when that will be?
- Think about divorce. - What are you saying?
If you're planning to stay here, get a suitable wife.
Oshin isn't good for these parts.
Mother!
I'm against divorce. But I feel so sorry for Oshin.
She used to be so lively in Tokyo. How about it?
It's time you decide...
Even the doctor didn't believe her. She felt pathetic.
She had no idea that there was talk of sending her away.
She only wanted to have her own private
Iwata-obi ceremony for her yet unborn baby.
