Answer 1

A. To live without having to work.

Step-by-step explanation:

"An live off the fatta the lan" means they'll be living off of the things that the land (earth) produces. Thus, they would be supplied with all the things they needed by the farm, dependent upon themselves and their own hard work without working for any other person.
