Young York was a typical child from an old-era farming family, and during his growth, hunger and labor were eternal themes.
When his father was killed by the Lord, the pillar of the family suddenly collapsed.
That was a period of despair.
Without the main labor force at home, the family's production capacity significantly decreased, yet the land taxes from the Lords did not reduce at all. His mother Monia worked tirelessly from dawn till dusk, alongside the family's savings, but it could only barely sustain them for half a year until they ran out of food.
The hardships at home made young York learn a lot at a young age.
During that period of despair, young York not only did his utmost to help his mother with farm work, but in his spare time, while tending to his younger siblings, he also went out to cut grass, merely to exchange with the livestock officer for a handful of peas to supplement the family income.
