Episode 136
- Tsuneko told you? - Yes...
Now I know why your mother isn't speaking to me.
Why did she have to go and tell you?
Maybe she is nicer than I thought. I used to think she was so selfish.
She shouldn't have told you.
You will only feel worse about things.
I think she is trying to force you out.
You shouldn't take it like that.
What would have happened if I didn't know?
- She was just worried about me. - You're being too naive.
I'm glad she told me.
At least I can prepare myself to face your mother.
Maybe you should think about leaving...
If I have to leave...
...I'd like us to return to Tokyo together.
We could start our lives over in Tokyo.
Think about it... You're pregnant!
Yuu is still a lot of trouble, too.
This is no time to talk about that.
I'm prepared to bury my bones here.
I've finally gotten to join the cooperative.
In 10 years, I will get to own my own land.
I will be able to leave land for Yuu.
If I go to Tokyo, I'll never get to come back.
Not even if we were to starve there...
Then I have no choice but to remain here.
I can't go to Otaka's because I can't do hair yet.
And I can't go to Mrs. Okayo to have my baby.
Let's quit talking about it!
I have nowhere to go...
Thank you for the bath. I've put out the fire, too.
Anything else I can do?
I have good news for you!
Someone is willing to take you in.
Since you won't go back to Yamagata, we have little choice.
We can't force you. But there's a savior.
They will take you in until you have the baby.
The man used to be one of our sharecroppers.
Now he has his own farm. He feels an obligation to us,
so he is willing to let you stay there.
Does Ryuzo know about this?
It doesn't concern him. It's you who's going!
You just have to agree to it.
You're not taking Yuu, so it's just you.
Oshin...
You should be glad you have a place to go.
Don't take it as if you were being sent away.
Think of it as a way to escape this house.
It won't be a vacation, but it'll be good for you.
I would like to refuse your earlier offer.
I'm a Tanokura wife.
- I'll have my baby here. - Oshin!
Please allow me.
You mean you won't do as I ask?
I don't know why I have to leave this house.
I told you!
I don't believe in silly superstitions like that!
You knew the reason, yet you dare to disobey?
If it made sense, I would go along, but...
I will not not allow my son's wife to disobey me!
Just do as I say!
I can't go along with something that doesn't make sense!
Maybe it's just a superstition to you.
But I'm old-fashioned.
I don't want you to think I'm silly.
But I really need you to do this for me.
You still won't go?
I understand... I understand very well.
Then you're no longer my daughter-in-law!
You should apologize. It's best if you do as she says!
Thank you for being concerned for me.
I've never been so humiliated!
What's the matter?
I suffered for 15 years under my mother-in-law.
But I never disobeyed her.
Wives are supposed to be like that.
Tsuneko has never talked back to me!
My mother told me...
Should I have done as she said?
Wasn't I supposed to have a choice?
Don't go if you don't want to.
But there's a better way to refuse.
You didn't have to just spurn her.
What's done is done.
But I hope you're prepared to face the consequences.
I don't plan to divorce you.
But Mother says you're no longer a Tanokura wife.
She has never recognized me as being one anyway.
Oshin...
It's true... She's even taken Yuu away.
And we still sleep in separate rooms.
All I do is work in the fields.
If that's how she wants it, fine.
Things can't get much worse than this...
I'm ready to face it...
No matter what she does... I'm not leaving here.
No matter what she says, I'm still your wife!
I'll have my baby here... as a Tanokura wife.
Then go ahead. But...
Don't worry. I promise not to complain.
- You sure are headstrong. - I've survived this far.
You'd better at least apologize to Mother.
I haven't done anything to have to apologize for.
I'm prepared to face the consequences.
I don't need her or anyone else.
I will do my best as a Tanokura wife.
And I'll have my baby by myself.
If I work hard... I'll get fed, won't I?
That's all I need.
She will feel better after Atsuko and I have our babies...
And maybe someday... she'll accept me as a Tanokura.
I'll persevere until then.
Oshin had persevered thus far, and she was determined now.
Oshin had no idea then what a huge price she would have to pay...
...for her stubborn pride.
