Oshin...
Are you all right?
You never had this much trouble with Yuu.
I kept doing chores until I delivered.
Old Gen and your mother helped you a lot.
Let's not talk about the past.
I know it's hard on you. You know I'd like to let you rest.
It's okay.
Good morning!
I told you to rest starting today.
- I know, but... - She feels better.
You fool! You're letting her work in her condition?
Even if Okiyo insists that she works,
as her husband, you should be stopping her!
If you don't protect her, who will?
I...
I told my wife to let you rest.
One has to protect one's health before it's too late!
I'm not saying Oshin should lie around like Atsuko.
It's just that she can't do field work anymore.
Let her help out around the house.
Tsuneko, Otsugi and I do the chores around here.
We don't need help.
Let's have Tsuneko work in the fields then.
She knows what to do out in the fields.
You must be joking!
We need Tsuneko to handle the household chores.
Otsugi and I each do work that no one else can do.
I don't care what it is. I'm just thinking of Oshin.
I'm sorry. Please let me help.
My hand is much better. I can help you.
Kitchen work is my business. Don't interfere.
I can do the cleaning.
- Otsugi is doing that now. - Then I'll help her.
I don't want you getting in her way.
You can stay out of our way by staying in bed.
Where are you going?
Yuu is awake.
I know that.
I'll take care of Yuu now.
I have been taking care of him all this time!
You have been neglecting him all this time!
I'm not being mean... You'll be having your baby soon,
and you won't be able to care for Yuu.
I feel sorry for Yuu.
He is used to me now, so I will care for him.
Don't worry about him.
This egg is for your baby.
And Tsuneko has put extra fried bean curd in your bowl.
Thanks a lot.
Otsugi and I put some in our portions, too.
I thought Oshin was home.
She is asleep.
She will call when she wakes up.
One doesn't have to eat when one sleeps.
Why don't you make her do some work?
She can't do anything!
She can't hold the needle, and she can't wring out the wash.
I'm sure she can do house cleaning,
but I don't want her in any of our rooms.
She sure is worthless.
Ryu has sure brought home a loser of a wife!
If she isn't allowed to work, she'll realize how useless she is,
then maybe she will leave.
She's been loafing around long enough.
Oshin.
Oshin!
I thought you were asleep, so we ate first.
Have some udon noodles.
Thank you.
It's just plain udon, so cook it yourself.
I didn't think sleeping could make people hungry.
There's nothing wrong with her.
Both Ryu and Father are easily fooled by women!
When I came here as a bride, my in-laws was so strict
that no matter how high a fever I ran,
she would never let me stay in bed.
And if I had to stay in bed, I wouldn't eat.
I didn't want her to tell me
that I didn't deserve to eat without doing my work.
Tsuneko knows what I'm talking about.
That's how Saga women are supposed to be.
Someone who can do work outside just because she's a little tired.
I guess Saga women make the best brides.
I'm sorry. I can't eat this.
Get back here!
You cooked it, and you refuse to eat?
You are just trying to get back at me.
You'll complain to Ryuzo later about not being fed,
because you stayed in bed.
I didn't tell you not to eat! Tsuneko, serve it to her.
You made it. Eat all you want.
Hurry and eat it!
Thank you for the food.
Good morning. I'll be going to work now.
After a day of rest, I feel better.
I will go back to working out in the fields.
What's happened?
Thank you for your consideration.
What went on here?
Okiyo!
How should I know?
She relaxed all day long, I guess she's no longer tired.
Oshin never took another day off.
She was made to know her place as the wife
of the third son in the family.
Just before autumn, near the harvest,
Oshin was in her last month of pregnancy.
Then one day, Oshin was called in by Okiyo.
It's about that time...
Labor could start any time now.
- Be ready. - I will.
The warehouse will be used by Atsuko for the birthing.
It's unclean, so we can't do it in the main house.
You can use the shack in the back. It's used for storage now.
We used to have our farm laborers living there.
It's a bit rundown, but if you clean it up, it can be used.
Take half a day off from work to clean it up.
Since that shack would be con- sidered outside the Tanokura house,
we can avoid the bad luck of two babies
being born under the same roof.
I feel badly for chasing you out,
but Atsuko belongs to another family now,
so we have to do extra to make sure she's all right.
Please understand.
This is terrible! You can give birth here.
It just has to be cleaned up.
It's not as if I'm going to be living here.
I'll go tell my mother.
Don't worry about it. It won't take long.
I'll start cleaning up this afternoon.
All I need to do is make a place to lie down.
Oshin was hoping that both she and Atsuko
will give birth to healthy babies.
She knew it would be more difficult than ever
to work with a newborn baby.
But she believed that her new baby
will give her the strength to continue.
