How i kinda destroyed my boss’s business

So about 9 months ago, in November i started working at a grape farm. My main jobs where mostly physical work (e.g. Pushing wheelbarrow, carrying boxes, watering stuff etc). It also was a family owned one. The other workers were: Owner's mother, her aunt, uncle/brother (i don't exactly know) and her daughter. The only non family workers were me and 4 other guys. So one day the owner was having a bad day and i had finished most with all the work she had given me 1 hour to do, but not all of it, so she started acting out on me. Over the time she started taking anger out on me every chance she could. She also allegedly didn't pay enough to one of the other guys. So the revenge: one day she wanted me to do some work on her garden (her house was practically next to the…

So one day the owner was having a bad day and i had finished most with all the work she had given me 1 hour to do, but not all of it, so she started acting out on me. Over the time she started taking anger out on me every chance she could. She also allegedly didn't pay enough to one of the other guys.

So the revenge: one day she wanted me to do some work on her garden (her house was practically next to the farm). She wanted me to dig out a hole so she could plant in a sapling for an expensive sort pine tree sapling. She showed me in which spot i should find a place to dig and put in the sapling. As i started digging i found that there was an ant colony (i think its called that in English). So i decided that she had been enough of a bitch to me and put it there. She tried to tell me it was 2 cm out of the area where she wanted me to dig in and plant it but i insisted and said it looked better in that exact spot till she gave up (first time she has listened to me lol).

Well around mid-December she decides she wants to set up a christmas tree in her house. Being a weird decision person that she tends to be she asks her brother/uncle to dig it out and somehow stuff it in a vase and put it inside her house. Some days later she tells me to not turn into work today. Next day i go in and she explains she and all people in her house had cleared out their stuff to get pest control. It was hard and they had to get some expensive pest control company because Christmas was near and no other company wanted to work in this time.

idk if owner hadn't read how much they will have to pay the company because at end of the month she told us she might not be able to pay us this month. I wasn't in a financial situation to sue them (and still aren't) and i had to move back in with parents. One of the other workers who wasn't from owner's family was a kid in a rich family, only worked because his daddy wanted him to work at least few years, and took to court. The court was a waste of time but she had sold her company to pay good lawyers and stuff.

And that's it. Feel a bit bad for this but not very.
