Episode 143
After the stillbirth of her baby girl,
Oshin stopped talking.
Seeing Oshin's vacant look,
Ryuzo understood for the first time the depth of Oshin's grief.
Oshin had given the baby a name... Ai.
She'd wanted the girl to be loved...
Oshin was starving for love herself...
Ever since coming to this house,
she's had nothing but difficulty because she couldn't please you.
She must have been so lonely...
I wasn't hard on you to because I hated you.
I just wanted Oshin to learn to be a good Tanokura wife.
I feel so sorry for her...
They say it's bad luck for two babies to be born
under one roof at the same time.
I was afraid of this...
Ryu!
She is full of milk, and it's painful for her.
It's so sad that she has no baby to give her milk to.
A mother's body is a curious thing...
She had more milk than Yuu could drink, too.
This world is so unfair...
Atsuko doesn't have milk for her baby.
The baby is crying again.
I don't think she is getting enough milk.
What a problem... Why can't she give more milk?
May I have some hot water?
Yes.
How is Oshin?
It's hard to tell yet.
She is strong, so I didn't think she'd take it this hard.
No matter how strong she is, she is grieving.
Oshin had gone through hell...
She had to cut her own umbilical cord.
The gods are punishing Atsuko. She has no milk.
Ryuzo...
I need a favor.
No! Don't ask them!
The baby will die without milk!
Please ask someone else...
Is it all right if the baby gets Oshin's milk?
That's too cruel! Think of Oshin's feelings!
A mother has a lot of love to give.
Oshin feels lonely every time her breasts hurt.
She will gladly nurse any baby.
Oh, sure... That's so convenient for you!
I'll refuse your request.
Thanks for the hot water.
Ryuzo.
I know it's cruel,
but Oshin's unaware of what's going on around her,
so nursing a baby now could help her.
It might comfort her.
Do it for Oshin's sake.
Oshin...
Will you give milk to this baby?
She is hungry.
How could you do that to Oshin! That's so selfish!
She is full of milk, and happy now!
Oshin nursed her without complaining.
Her face was like that of the Goddess of Mercy.
She kept looking into the baby's face.
She must have thought this baby was hers.
I felt so badly for her...
I only hope she regains her senses soon...
I will take better care of Oshin now.
Atsuko, you'd better be grateful to Oshin!
Oshin's baby sacrificed its life to save this one.
Please feed Oshin something good. Don't spare any expense.
I want Oshin to regain her health...
Aren't you glad?
You must be tired from nursing.
I'll go get you lunch.
She is so cute...
She thought I was her mother...
She kept looking up at me.
Oshin...
I'm sure Ai would've done the same if she had lived.
You knew?
Atsuko doesn't have enough milk?
I'll give that baby as much milk as she needs.
After all, that baby is here in place of my Ai...
I want that baby to grow up healthy.
You knew all along?
I'm so glad. I was afraid you would never regain your senses.
I'd wanted to forget everything...
Please forgive me...
I wish I could have helped you when you needed me.
Never mind... I've given up.
I'm able to give it all up...
I still have Yuu. I'm not only Ai's mother.
I have to get well for Yuu's sake.
I will get well, and start all over again.
Take your time, and get well.
I'm sorry to take so long to make Oshin's lunch.
This is yours, Ryuzo.
I'm sorry to have caused you so much worry.
I'm all right now.
I'll be able to go back to work in the fields soon.
She understands about Ai.
And she is still willing to nurse Atsuko's baby.
I know it's hard for you...
I'm a mother, too, so I understand.
You will help Atsuko, and feed her baby?
I'll think of that baby as Ai...
Oshin...
Thank you so much! Atsuko will be so happy, too.
You're still young. You'll have more babies.
Next time, you will have a good, healthy one!
- Mother... - Yes?
My baby really was alive when she was born...
But she didn't cry...
She wasn't strong enough to cry...
I never want to give birth like that again.
I will never allow you to suffer again...
Next time, we'll make sure to take good care of you.
Okiyo had never been this kind to Oshin.
Ryuzo and Tsuneko felt somewhat relieved.
But no one knew at the time what Oshin was really thinking.
