You saw Hitoshi going into Yuri's room?
I'd noticed that about them a month ago...
When I got up to go to the bathroom,
I heard a man's voice coming from Yuri's room.
It really surprised me.
I didn't think that she'd do something like that.
I wanted to see who this man was, so I waited until he came out.
I was doubly surprised when it was Hitoshi.
I'd wanted to confront Yuri with what I'd seen,
but I decided to wait until I had definite proof.
Since then, I've seen him going into her room on many occasions.
Why didn't you tell me?
I'd thought about telling you sooner,
but Hitoshi is already 26.
It's not that strange that such things happen.
Besides, if Yuri is in love with Hitoshi,
it's only natural that this happened.
I understand. I'll talk to Yuri tonight.
Wait.
It's better if you talked to Hitoshi about it.
You'd only be putting Yuri on the spot!
That Hitoshi... Enjoying himself in Tokyo.
He better take responsibility for what he's done!
Wait till he gets home!
Thank you for the bath.
Shall I put the fire out under the bath?
Never mind. Thanks for working so hard.
- Good night. - Good night.
- Yuri. - Mother!
Please check the doors before going to bed.
It's just women here tonight.
I will.
It's not her fault!
Don't do anything until Hitoshi tells you about it himself.
He's my own son, but I can't figure Hitoshi out.
I have no idea why he went to Tokyo.
It's good for him to see
how business is in Tokyo once in a while.
What's there for him to learn in Tokyo?
We have our own ways of running a business here.
To sell fresh fish and produce at a good price.
What other ways are there?
About women, too. He doesn't have to sneak around!
If they love each other, let them marry!
Hatsuko.
I'm sure Hitoshi wants to.
But he knows how you feel,
so he's afraid to mention it to you yet.
He thinks you'll oppose.
Of course! He can do a lot better.
Mother... You've changed.
You weren't like this before...
When Father stopped Yuu and me from getting married,
you stood up for me. It made me so happy.
Now that our business has grown and we have some money,
you seem to have changed.
I think Yuri is a very nice girl.
She has worked for us for three years now,
and she's never acted badly to us, no matter what we said to her.
She's very sweet and gentle.
People are funny...
My mother-in-law in Saga strongly opposed me marrying her son,
and it made me so angry!
Maybe we got married because she opposed our marriage so much.
Now I'm sounding just like my old mother-in-law.
Yuri is very nice, and I like her.
But it's just that Hitoshi has had so many good marriage offers.
I know that Hitoshi isn't a great catch.
Someone who knows our family well will make the best wife for him.
And she gets along so well with you, too.
Hitoshi isn't wrong in choosing her.
Maybe Hitoshi has made a great choice!
You'll let them marry?
Let's just leave things be for awhile.
I'm sure Hitoshi will mention it sooner or later.
I'm so glad!
I pondered over telling you about it at all.
I know you don't approve of immorality.
I was just worried about how you'd react.
If Hitoshi surprised you by telling you about it himself.
You're right.
You know how upset I was just now.
We probably would've had a big fight if Hitoshi was here.
I'm glad you told me.
You're welcome.
What if I'd opposed their idea of marriage.
Yuri would have been terribly hurt.
That's right!
We have no choice anyway, so let's be happy for them.
Yuri may be too gentle for our retail business,
but she'll be a good homemaker.
Hitoshi will run the store anyway. Besides, you're still very healthy.
I think Yuri is perfect for the Tanokura family.
I never thought about Hitoshi's marriage.
Now it's suddenly upon us!
The truck is all clean now!
Thanks.
- Good morning! - Morning.
You sure are pretty.
Let's go.
Please be more careful about what you say!
- Yuri has gotten prettier. - Mother!
It's funny. I feel more loving towards her
now that I know she'll be marrying my son.
Please be careful.
Bye.
- Bye. - Bye.
Good morning.
I wasn't expecting you to be here.
I came when I heard you were coming.
She just wants to shop in Tokyo!
We arrived last night, but you just got in.
You must be tired.
No. I showered and took a nap.
Thank you for all your help.
I really wanted you to attend this seminar.
It's been 10 years since the war ended.
Japan is facing a bright future.
Systems of management are changing, too.
We must keep up with the changes! I want you to study very hard.
I'll do my best.
You two should talk about business later.
Let's talk about Michiko.
That's why I came all the way from Nagoya.
We're getting along just fine.
If Mr. Tanokura intends to marry you,
he has to come to us with a formal offer.
You two can't just keep seeing each other like this.
- Isn't that so? - Yes...
We have three boys, and Michiko is our only girl.
We'd wanted to find her an adoptive husband,
but parents can't always have their say.
We live in a democracy now.
Before the war, parents had more say.
There you go again!
She's precious to us,
and we're letting you have her because we're impressed with you.
We'd like to offer you as much support as you need.
That's why we want to meet your mother.
We want to tell her how we feel.
It's strange that you still haven't told her about Michiko.
We've raised her in a way that we can be proud of her.
Isn't that why you want to marry her?
Timing is important for this kind of talk.
We shouldn't have to beg him to marry her!
If your mother won't approve,
I'll have you both forget that there ever was anything!
Mother!
Mothers tend to get this way...
Michiko is important, but this seminar is, too!
This could change your whole life.
You can garnish a dish with greens.
You can make foods look and taste better.
Thank you for all your work.
We're done for the day.
Dinner will be ready soon.
This is for Hatsuko, and this is for Yuri.
There was a sale on,
so I bought blouses for both of you.
See if you like it.
Go on, open it.
It's cute!
May I really keep it?
It's for your nightly massages, and you're such a good worker.
Thank you so much!
Put it up against you, so we can see.
Looks great!
Oshin was beginning to see Yuri as Hitoshi's bride.
But while all this was going on,
Hitoshi was secretly arranging to marry someone else.
