But as time went by and she got more animals, including 17 goats, 257 chickens, 2 donkeys, 5 cows, 10 dogs, 11 tortoises, it became a "very expensive hobby."
A flashback from the earlier day shows, Martina pointing out to her wife, how her revenue is significantly lower than expenditures when it comes to Julia's farming.
