Episode 147
We sure walked around a lot.
You must be tired. I'll draw your bath.
We didn't do that much.
We climbed up a hill, and viewed the village.
And we walked around and saw many things.
I've had good training. Not like you.
I guess you're right. We've had it too easy.
I was thinking about it over our luxurious dinner.
You were eating a lot!
You probably don't get good food living alone in Tokyo.
That's true. I don't have money to buy anything.
You sure were born in unfortunate times...
With so many luxuries around, you can't easily be satisfied.
When I was young, Japan was a poor country.
Poverty seemed ordinary.
And hardships were an accepted way of life.
Now the people all seem to be seeking money.
Why do they all want so much money?
They can't seem to find any other purpose in life.
So what? It's nice to have money.
If you can't realize the true value of money,
having a lot is the same as having none!
Nobody today can know my joy at earning a single yen.
And people today can never know such joy...
What happened between you and Uncle Hitoshi?
Those things we mailed from Tokyo must've arrived by now.
Maybe he got it today, and he'll be angry.
At least he'll know that I'm still alive.
I'm sure he is not that worried about it.
I'm sure Tanokura Supermarket does all right without you.
Mother mailed this package to herself!
And you opened it?
I was looking for clues as to why she left home.
All I found were her winter clothes.
There wasn't even a letter in there!
I guess she no longer needs her winter clothes.
She wouldn't put a letter in a box she's mailing to herself.
Is she in Tokyo?
That is where the package was mailed from.
What's she doing in Tokyo?
I think she has it in mind to stay away longer!
What if something should happen to her?
Don't worry. Kei is with her.
She is with her favorite grandchild,
so she must be enjoying herself.
How can you say such a thing!
She didn't leave just to have fun!
She wouldn't have left if she was happy here.
Let's put an ad in the personals in Tokyo newspaper,
asking her to come home.
If she hates it here so much,
we sure wouldn't want to force her to come back.
Michiko!
She left without a word, and there's still no word.
Not just you.
She left no word to me, or my sister here.
Mother has her own mind...
She will return when she feels like it.
People talk as if I forced her to leave...
We'll have to settle this business matter before she returns.
Namiki still hasn't signed over the land.
All the other merchants have signed the contracts.
They sure are underhanded!
They didn't like us opening our new supermarket there,
so they're selling their land to our rival chain.
If Mother hears of this, she'll keel over!
Maybe she knew about it.
Had she known, she never would've left!
This could be fatal to Tanokura Supermarket!
That's enough! What's the use of arguing?
We will just wait for her to come home.
And let's hope Namiki never signs that deal.
We're taking the same railway. The one I took when I left Saga.
I sure did a reckless thing. I guess I was young...
Back then, it took three days to reach Tokyo by rail from Saga.
Traveling with young Yuu,
Oshin was exhausted by the time she reached Tokyo.
There was nobody to meet her at the train.
And there was nowhere she could go to stay.
The only one she could count on was Otaka.
Please come again!
Thank you.
- Let's close up. - Okay.
Excuse me.
We're closed for the day.
Please let me in.
We open up at 8:00 in the morning.
- Excuse me. - What are you doing?
Excuse me! It's me. Tanokura Shin!
It's Shin! Otaka!
Otaka...
Oshin!
I'm sorry to come here unannounced like this.
You're such a fool... Why stand outside for an hour!
You needn't have minded me.
I didn't want to get in the way of your work.
You haven't changed a bit... With a bride like you,
I'm sure your mother-in-law has no complaints!
You had a bad time with the earthquake,
but maybe it was all for the good.
It must be a much better life, being the young wife
of a big landowner in the country.
Yuu has gotten big, too.
I'm glad he wasn't hurt in the earthquake.
You sure were a big help to us back then.
It was such an awful time...
I'm so glad to see you again. When you left,
I thought we were parting for good.
Congratulations on your new shop!
This isn't much, and it's so small!
I haven't the room to keep live-in-helpers.
I have about three girls coming in to work for me.
But there's nobody that can compare to you.
I wonder when I'll have real hairdressers to train.
I'm sorry...
I'm so happy to see you... I shouldn't be complaining to you.
But I can't help it.
Are you on your way to visit Yamagata?
I hope nothing bad has happened up there...
No.
That's good. It's just that this is so sudden.
And Ryuzo is doing well?
Yes.
Will you stay over tonight?
We have a lot to talk about.
The place is small, but bear with it.
Thank you.
Here it is!
More and more shops are reopening around here.
This is unagi from that place that you used to enjoy.
I'll make Yuu some gruel later.
Thank you.
Let's eat it while it's hot.
Did you have a boy, or was it a girl?
You told me you were due in September or October.
What's the matter Oshin?
The baby died... Right after it was born.
I left the Tanokuras... I'll never go back!
What are you doing here?
You still can't get over her?
Ryu...
I'm so upset that she took Yuu with her.
But I think it will turn out best for you.
With Yuu here, you can never break it off with Oshin.
And you'll never be able to find another wife.
Now you can take a new wife. We can find you one in no time.
You can take a wife more suitable to our family.
I believed the happy things you wrote about in your letters...
I had no idea how terrible they were treating you.
I don't hate Mother...
She'd always opposed having me as her son's wife.
It's only natural that she didn't like me.
And I couldn't do the work that was expected of me.
You can stay here and work. You'd be helping me out, too.
There is no one as good as you.
You should have left there sooner!
I don't mind having you here at all.
And you can keep Yuu here, too.
We'll both work hard, and earn lots of money!
Then we can have a bigger shop.
Oshin felt uncertain about being able
to use her right hand effectively to do hair.
It should have been healed by now,
but she was unsure.
