"My life has improved in that, I bought an ox and repossessed the acres of land I had given to the money lender as secuirty. Now with the bull I bought, I can join it up with another person's ox and have my farm land ploughed on time. Previously, I used to work in other people's farm land before they could come and plough for me which at times was not very reliable. In addition, the acres of land that I regained have given me more land to plant crops hence a big harvest is expected. In the past, only had an acre of land where I planted less crops hence low yields that led to food shortage in my family."
