I Earn Millions Farming Fruit, Yet My Girlfriend Scorns Me

My family has farmed for three generations. Working the land was how we made our money.

Five years into dating my girlfriend, Moira Henson, I'd finally saved up a five-hundred-thousand-dollar engagement gift from selling fruit, and I took it to her family's house to propose.

Instead, she demanded I give up the family fields and go work at a factory.

"Phineas makes a hundred grand a year as a plant manager, and you're just some dirt-poor farmer. If word got out, where would that leave my face?"

"I really regret it. I should have been with him from the start!"
