Expanding

I'm Jacob 30 answer to Jake only child of Mathew and Tracey both decease, I was a late child born when Tracey was 40 and Mathew 45. So I inherited the farm of 435 acres and also had a few cows (7)and a horse. I wasn't financially well off, but wasn't in any debt either. I know to success I need to expand and without borrowing money preferred. Not much chance of that I thought, then a nearby neighbors I hadn't had much to with as got ill. The family was weird according to my late father Mathew, so we didn't interact with them. Way out crackpots was another term used to describe them and religious nut jobs are how they were thought of locally. I had only seen the father and once or twice the mother, I didn't know they had daughter Mary 25 and home schooled. So when the pandemic hit they didn't think it would hurt them as they were good Christians and chosen by God. Well it didn't work out that way. Not vaccinated they all caught it somehow and both parents passed away. Mary got ill and got over it, the local Pastor who led the small funeral services for the parents had asked me as a member of his church to be a pall bearer. That's when I first met Mary and liked what I saw, but a funeral isn't a place to chat up a girl. Knowing she lived nearby encouraged e to visit her after the funeral with the Pastor and offer to help her with her farm. Over following months we became friends and then lovers, I didn't take care like I should have, knowing of her sheltered up bringing. But the deed was done so I done the right and married her and we now have a baby boy Mathew after my father. I've also added 476 acres to my farm and have increased my cattle herd to 25. As Mary's father Luke had let the fields deplete over the years and running cattle on them will improve there cropping. Also have installed movable children pens for eggs and meat and 2 Maremmas guard dogs to live with the chickens. We're doing quite well now and Mary doesn't use precautions and we'll accept every God's blessing that comes along.
