Episode 156
Upon hearing that Okuni was ill,
Oshin had rushed to Sakata to see her.
But Okuni was in a coma since she collapsed,
and she could not recognize Oshin.
Oshin stayed up with Okuni that night to help the exhausted family.
Oshin...
Let me take over for you.
I'm fine.
You must be tired from working all day, too.
I'm sorry.
I'm sure Grandma is happy you are here with her.
She cared for you more than anyone else.
She was so good to me,
and I have never been able to repay her.
That's not true.
She was so happy when you got married.
And she was overjoyed that you had a baby boy.
She thinks all is well and happy with you.
Okuni!
Grandma.
Oshin, is that you?
Yes, it's me.
What are you doing here?
I thought you were back in Saga?
She came to see you!
Is all well with you?
She is happy with her life. You read her letters!
That's right... I'm so glad.
Kayo needs a good talking to...
You talk to her.
Women can't be happy even if they are very successful in business.
Kayo doesn't seem to understand that.
Kayo has no brothers or sisters. She needs you.
So help her.
I'm counting on you.
Grandma!
I won't die yet! Not yet...
Grandma's awake!
I won't die until Kayo has her baby.
Okuni died in her sleep early that morning.
She was 76 at the time of her death.
It was as if a large tree had fallen...
Oshin thought of it as a bad omen of things to come...
But Oshin had no time to ponder that...
Okayo attended to the formal aspects of the funeral,
but Oshin had to help out with all the household chores.
We will need about 10 more dinner tables.
- Okay. - Okay.
Thank you for helping us.
This is the least I can do.
Grandma taught you well,
so you know what to do better than I do.
She taught me everything a woman should know.
And I'm grateful for that.
I wish Kayo were more like you...
Kayo! Kayo!
No, I won't allow it!
What's going on?
Masao is here to pay his respects.
How dare he come!
Grandma won't appreciate his coming here.
Send him away!
But he is still your adoptive husband.
I'm sick of men! I'll run Kaga-ya all on my own.
So get rid of him!
Kayo!
Okayo...
Don't you understand what your grandmother said?
She said she won't die until she sees your baby...
Those were her last words.
Don't lecture me!
No, I must speak...
This is none of your business!
She asked me to help you. And you know what that means.
Kaga-ya needs a heir to follow you.
That was her greatest concern!
And you know that...
You want me to take that man back just to have a baby?
What do you think I am?! Don't take me for a fool!
Okayo...
...it's your duty as the head of Kaga-ya.
Your grandmother can't rest in peace until you fulfill your duties.
You must take him back... For her!
She passed on?
At least Oshin was there.
And she helped out a lot with the funeral, too.
Oshin wants to stay for the 7th-day memorial.
Of course. She should do all she can.
This is a keepsake from the old mistress.
It's for you.
For me?
Grandma's finally gone...
She'll be so happy if you and your husband could get together again.
It might take some doing, but I will try...
I realize now that all men are the same.
I guess I'm getting older.
Look at you...
You loved Ryuzo so much, but he's abandoned you.
Oriki told me.
She feels very sorry for you. She has told me everything.
Nobody else here knows.
Grandma died thinking you were happy.
You must be having a hard time at home.
Things are all different now...
I'm sure you have to bear a lot from your brother.
I don't mind hardships.
But my mother tries to protect me,
and that strains her relationship with Shoji and his family.
Stay here in Sakata!
Come on inside!
Why not run a business here?
The owner of this shop owed me money.
He never repaid the loan, and ran away.
This place is perfect for you.
And I will loan you the money to start up.
You can repay me from your profits.
Okayo...
I would feel stronger if you stayed here.
And Grandma will be happy, too!
What business could you run here?
Oshin couldn't believe the turn of events...
But she also knew that running a business wouldn't be easy...
Oshin was at a turning point in her life...
