Chapter 205 A World with More Men and Fewer Women 5

After marrying like this, her mother-in-law didn't dare to care about the fire pit. For two money, Ms. Cui knew that several people had beaten her to death before. After all, she also had a human life and she was her granddaughter. She also sent her daughter-in-law into the fire pit. It can be seen that How dark is Cui's heart? Thinking of this, An Ran secretly thought that although the original person didn't say how to deal with her mother's family, but for Cui, An Ran felt that as long as she had a chance, she still had to deal with her.

Not long after, the five brothers of the Ma family came - yes, not only the boss Ma came, but also the other four brothers.

These brothers do this every time. It is obvious that only Boss Ma is the butcher, and the others are not. But when they encounter someone who is easy to bully, they will go together with the five brothers. Boss Ma takes the four brothers with him on the pretext that he needs the help of the other four brothers. Brothers go to the house of the person who wants to kill a pig and have a good meal together.

Just because they often eat good food, can their physical condition be poor? It is definitely much better than those families who can only eat wild vegetables and suffer from malnutrition, such as the He family.

And when their physical condition improves, they will be able to run rampant in the village. After they run rampant, their living conditions will continue to improve. If their living conditions continue to improve, their physical condition will get better. This is a virtuous circle, just like the vicious circle of the He family.

Yes, they are not stupid, and it is impossible for all five brothers to go there together to take advantage. They will only do this to those families they think are easy to bully. Those families who are not easy to bully, for example, the male in the family is better than them. There were many families, or they were people with status and power, so they didn't dare to mess with them. However, the He family was obviously not within the range that they didn't dare to mess with, so naturally all five of them came openly and openly.

Besides, this pig was not raised by the He family themselves, but was brought from the mountains. They took advantage of such a cheap thing, and they had no psychological burden.

The four brothers of the He family looked a little ugly when they saw the five people from the Ma family coming. However, because they knew that they could not defeat the five brothers of the Ma family, they could only swallow their anger.

In fact, the He family has quite a few men. The previous generation, Mr. He, had four, and the next generation also has four brothers. There are eight grown men in the family, which is not a lot.

You must know that although there are more boys than girls in this time and space, the survival rate of infants is similar to that in ancient times in normal time and space. Therefore, it does not mean that every family has several brothers. Most families have more than ten brothers. However, due to various reasons , only one or two survived in the end, thanks to the fact that the reproductive cycle of women in this world is longer than that of other time and space ancient times (but in this era of no contraception, long reproductive cycle is not a good thing, so, in this time and space, Women are cups and tableware), and most people will give birth to more than ten children in their lifetime. Although the infant survival rate is similar to that of other time and space, due to the large base, the average number of survivors has been stabilized at more than six. Otherwise, it will be The ratio of men to women in this time and space is five to one. If the ratio of surviving babies is less than six, the population will not only fail to grow, but will slowly regress and eventually perish.

Like Father He, there were actually six brothers who grew up, but one of them died in his thirties, and one died two years ago. Now there are only four left.

Although there are many men in the He family, all of them are malnourished. Four old men and four young men can't beat five men in total, so what else can they do if they can't bear to swallow their anger.

Fortunately, the He family was slaughtering pigs today. According to the unspoken rules of the village, they invited some relatives and friends to come over to eat. There were many people in the family and the momentum was high, so the Ma family brothers did not dare to go too far, that is, to take advantage of it—— It was nothing more than asking for food. After a full meal, in addition to wages, I also took away twenty kilograms of meat. Fortunately, all the relatives and friends of the He family were there, otherwise I would have asked for more than that.

In addition, fortunately, An Ran is now sallow and skinny. He is fifteen years old and has not developed much, which makes people uninterested. Otherwise, he would have to worry about the five brothers of the Ma family not to bully An Ran after drinking. The five brothers of the Ma family did this. He came out, otherwise how could he be regarded as a village hegemon?

Watching the five brothers of the Ma family swinging their arms and leaving, and seeing how the He family was disgusted by the five brothers of the Ma family despite getting a big wild boar, An Ran secretly thought that he had to step up his martial arts practice and deal with the five brothers of the Ma family as soon as possible. , it can also be regarded as eliminating a harm to the villagers, so that everyone will not live in the shadow of the five brothers of the Ma family bullying men and women all day long.

At that moment, An Ran asked: "Daddy, since the Ma family brothers are so annoying, why don't we just bring the wild boar to the town and sell it without cooking it? The whole pig can also be sold, right?"

"Although we can sell it, it's cheaper. Besides, we want to have some food at home, especially pork belly and liver. If we sell the whole pig, we won't be able to get it. If we want to eat it, we have to Spend money to buy it, and it’s more cost-effective to hire someone to cook it at home.”

Otherwise, they are not stupid, how could they have asked for this trouble.

An Ran couldn't help but was speechless after hearing this, secretly thinking that she had to endure the bullying from the Ma family brothers just to get a little more money and things. If it were her, she would rather get less money than find someone to make her angry.

Although the brothers of the Ma family took a lot of advantage, after slaughtering and cleaning up, there were still 1,560 kilograms of pork, which could still be sold for a lot of money. The He family members were now planning to keep some for home, and then I picked up 150 pounds of meat and sold it in the town.

An Ran wanted to see this small town in time and space - although the original body also had it in his memory, but because he didn't go to the town often, he had very little memory - so he clamored to go and have a look.

Naturally, Uncle He and the others would not object. Cui, who would have objected originally, did not say anything this time and let her go. However, this was because An Ran brought the wild boar back, not because An Ran said he had high standards. She was taught martial arts because she was afraid that An Ran would cause trouble for her if she became more powerful in the future. After all, in her mind, she was An Ran's grandmother, and An Ran would not dare to disobey her no matter what.

After receiving permission, An Ran went to the town with her father and brother.

When they arrived at the town, An Ran looked at the small town with only two horizontal and vertical streets. She couldn't help but be very disappointed. She secretly thought that she had overestimated the prosperity of this poor place. Not to mention the village, even the town could not see any prosperity. At most, there are more people.

Prepared wild boar meat is easy to sell. After all, domestic pork is often available, but game is not often available. At fifteen cents a pound, it was sold out in a short time.

An Ran calculated the price of a whole pig and found that it was about the same as his current income. However, there were still ten kilograms of pork left at home, as well as pork belly, liver and other items. It was indeed more cost-effective. No wonder the He family would rather suffer the consequences and have to cook for themselves. .

With more than 2,000 yuan, Dad He and the others bought a lot of sorghum flour, corn flour, sweet potatoes and other things to take home. Coarse grains are cheaper in this era, and fine grains such as rice and white flour are very expensive, so Dad He Naturally, my father and I only buy coarse grains and are reluctant to buy fine grains.
