Farmers are working hard to grow various plants so that we can have food on our tables but most of us largely take that for granted – and, sometimes, their families do to. Take for example this eye-opening story shared by a farmer’s wife.

He didn’t complain and he didn’t quarrel with his wife, despite the fact that he could have told her a lot of things and remind her that he’s physically working hard in the field. Instead, he chose to stay quiet and bear the brunt of his wife’s anger.
