Episode 165
Good morning!
I heard about it from Kota! I'm so glad.
Mrs. Okayo...
I feel so much better now.
I'd caused you two to take the long
route way around to finding each other.
I feel a sense of responsibility for you getting together with Tanokura.
I have caused you so much problems.
But the burden has been lifted.
When will you two get married?
The sooner, the better!
You must be kidding! I'm still married to Ryuzo.
Kota is not joking!
He sounded very sincere when he told me.
Don't laugh this off!
I'm grateful to Kota, but...
Don't tell me you're turning him down!
Are you?
I'm no longer the Oshin of the past.
He wants you as you are now! He no longer has to run and hide.
He has never settled down, but he wants a home life now, too.
You can be a good wife to him.
I'm just happy living here with Yuu.
You still love Ryuzo?
You're still waiting for a man like that?
Oshin.
Thank you! Come again.
Two boiled tofu and two sake.
The dinner set is ready.
What is Kota and his group talking about?
What they talk about is too hard to understand.
Did something happen?
They're leaving!
Thank you!
Who were they?
They liked the food.
I'll go say goodnight to Yuu.
You poor thing... You're leashed like a dog!
Let me take this off.
Please don't! Once he's set loose, it's all over.
She won't let me... Your mother is scary.
He's used to it.
I'm sure he wants you to play with him.
I have to work to keep us both fed.
That's true...
- The fish eggs are done! - Okay.
Take this.
Thank you for waiting.
You were having an involved discussion?
I'm sorry... It's none of my business.
No. Maybe I should tell you about it.
A new law was passed in April,
and they are starting to crack down on union activity again.
Some of our top union people were arrested yesterday.
We've been ordered to shut down.
Will you have to go underground again?
That's not out of the question... We were just discussing that.
If I have to run,
I wouldn't be able to take care of you and your son.
It would be hard on you.
I couldn't be a good father to Yuu.
Your work doesn't allow for a family.
With me and Yuu to care for,
you wouldn't be able to do what you want.
I know how important a man's job is to him.
I was so happy to have you tell me that you still cared.
As long as you do what you do, we can't tie you down.
You won't be able to do what you want.
I understand that much.
When we first met...
I didn't know anything about you, I only wanted to be with you.
But now, I know that if I really loved you,
I have to leave you free to do what you want.
But...
What's most important is that you'll be free to work.
Kota...
You said you were willing to be a father to Yuu.
And that made me so happy.
I resented Mrs. Okayo for breaking us up.
And I tried hard to get over you...
But your words have healed all my hurts.
I'll never again regret loving you as I did.
Thank you.
Two more sake!
They're already drunk, but they refuse to leave.
We are in the business to sell sake,
so we have to put up with things like that.
I will come out if something happens again.
When will you two get married? Don't listen to what Oshin says!
You'll never get married.
She doesn't understand...
I want to find out what Tanokura is thinking.
I'll write to him in Saga tonight.
Kota...
If he's thinking of divorcing you,
I want him to do the proper paperwork.
This is a very serious matter.
Thank you for all your help.
How is Atsuko?
She's very busy caring for the baby.
She can't act as spoiled there as she does here.
She wants to come home for New Year's.
It's tough being a wife.
Yes, some leave because they can't persevere.
That's not how a real woman should be!
Oshin has been gone more than a year now.
I wonder how big Yuu is now?
They're both strangers to us now.
I don't even want to hear their names!
Was there any mail?
Only a letter to Ryuzo from a man.
Let's see it.
Where is it?
Mother!
By the end of the year, Oshin's business had prospered
so that she was able to repay her loans to Kaga-ya.
It was soon to be 1926.
Can't you take it easy for New Year's?
I want to make you something good to eat!
I'm always too busy to do that for you.
Business is all I ever think about!
Shall I help?
I'm cooking for you, too. For all your help!
How long must you wait?
If Ryuzo is refusing to answer the letter, let it be!
Having no answer is answer enough.
He doesn't care about you at all... You can just do as you please.
It's not only that...
I don't plan on becoming Kota's wife.
Even if we're not married, I still plan to help them both out.
For all I'm worth.
You're both dreaming!
I want Kota to be free.
He can't do his job unless he's free.
Happy New Year! It's me, Oriki.
Oriki?
I came to give my New Year's greeting to Kaga-ya.
And that your mother is fine.
Come on in.
It's Oriki!
Is this your husband from Saga?
I'm pleased to meet you.
You wrote to Oshin's mother in Yamagata once,
and I helped her to write you a reply.
That letter brought you back to her?
Fuji will be so happy to hear that you're here!
Aren't you glad, too?
This isn't Ryuzo...
He's not your husband?
You jumped to conclusions.
You just mentioned a letter from Saga. Is that true?
He wanted to know where you were. He said you never wrote to him.
Poor man... He's been waiting for a letter!
Oshin couldn't believe it.
She had written him so many letters.
There was something wrong.
Something happened...
What happened?
Oshin was now suspicious, and worried.
