Chapter 216 A World with More Men and Fewer Women 5
After marrying like this, the mother-in-law's family 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, so she sent her daughter-in-law into the fire pit.
It can be seen how dark Mrs. Cui's heart is. Thinking of this, An Ran secretly thought that although the original person did not say how to deal with her mother's family, An Ran felt that as long as she had a chance, she would deal with her well.

Not long after, the five brothers of the Ma family came - yes, not only the boss Ma came, but the other four brothers also came.
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.
Let's go to the house where the pig is being slaughtered and have a good meal together.
Just because they often eat good food, can their physical condition be poor? They are 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 more and more. After they run rampant, their living conditions will continue to get better, and their living conditions will continue to improve, and their physical condition will get better. This is a virtuous circle, just like the vicious circle of the He family.<
/p>
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 that they think are easy to bully. For example, those families that are not easy to bully, for example, the male in the family is smarter 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 in an upright manner.
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 there was 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 and fewer girls in this time and space, the survival rate of infants is similar to that of ancient times in normal time and space. Therefore, not 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 have 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 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 of them together, 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, they just wanted to take advantage of it——
It was nothing more than eating Naka. After a hearty meal, in addition to wages, I also took away twenty kilograms of meat. Fortunately, all the relatives and friends of the He family were here, otherwise I would have asked for more than that.
In addition, fortunately, An Ran is now sallow and thin. He is fifteen years old and has not developed much, making it uninteresting. 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.
It comes out, otherwise how can we be considered a village hegemon?
Watching the five brothers of the Ma family swaying their arms and leaving, and then 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 considered 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 dominating women.
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?"
p>
"Although we can sell it, it's cheaper. Moreover, 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
If you spend money to buy it, it will be 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. She secretly thought that just to get a little more money and things, she endured the bullying from the Ma family brothers. If it were her place, she would rather get less money than find someone to make her angry.<
/p>
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. Now everyone in the He family planned 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 often go to the town, his memory was quite small - 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 just 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 town with her father and brother.
When they arrived at the town, An Ran looked at the small town with only two vertical and horizontal 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 take the blame and 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
