People worked hard in sowing/harvest time but chilled outside that and had holidays constantly, they had so much free time and little worries they volunteered to build all those amazing churches. Widespread reports of abundance and good pay among peasantry especially after the black plague.
Deal with it you're literally getting a worse deal and far greater exploitation in modern capitalism than a medieval peasant and lords of a fief. Giving a portion of your harvest (IF you got a harvest) to exist on their land vs. 40h/w wageslaving to give 40-60% of your pay to a lord/creditor to exist on their land.
