Owning oxen is what receiving this money means to me. The oxen will support in ploughing and some times, I can plough in people's gardens in exchange for money that will be income for the household.
I will also be able to buy household items like bedding in order to improve on our livingstandard. I own a small mattress that does not give any comfort at all. This is the reason I am thinking about it.
What is the happiest part of your day?
The happiest part of my day is in the noon time after eating lunch. I am happy a round that time because after lunch, I am strong enough to engage in any other household work.
What is the biggest hardship you've faced in your life?
The biggest harshio thatibface in my life is that, I do not own any oxen which makes farming very difficult. I have to support the neighbours who own to plough in their farm land in exchange for them to plough on your farm land which comes in late and hence low yields. I am a peasant farmer who gets income from only farming, late cultuation means low yields hence low income.
