Chapter 319 - Gu Mengmeng Planning Ahead
Gu Mengmeng’s mouth twitched and did not know how to react. Sandy’s words sounded so ambiguous! As though the kids were from Sandy and herself.
“Owooo…” Jialue was squished in between Sandy and Gu Mengmeng, almost suffocating. He struggled to escape, but this strong auntie had so much strength even though she looked so skinny. He struggled but to no avail and he had to let out a few pathetic howls to gain his mother’s attention.
But luckily, Sandy immediately let go of her grip once Jialue voiced out. A little embarrassed, she wiped her tears and said, “Sorry sorry, I was too excited. Saint Nazaire finally has a bunch of cubs. Our tribe finally has hope.”
Gu Mengmeng knew, Saint Nazaire was formed by Lea and Elvis. Since then, only Nina had given birth to a nest of eaglets, whom had all died in their father’s hands due to Nina’s distorted mindset. From then on, Saint Nazaire had no new babies. Every year during the winter, a batch of males would not make it, so the tribe’s most beautiful female would step out to attract more males to join the tribe as replenishment during the spring’s beauty contest. But nobody knows how many of these males could stay alive after the next winter, hence Saint Nazaire’s cohesiveness was not as strong as other tribes with greater reproductivity.
Saint Nazaire’s core members only consisted of Lea and Elvis, while the other mated males followed wherever their females go. If one day the female was unhappy and decided to leave Saint Nazaire, the males would definitely follow. On the other hand, it was highly possible for the unmated males to meet eyes with females from other tribes during the beauty contest and run away with them…
Hence, it was extremely important to have cubs born in the tribe itself, as it symbolized that the tribe’s core members would increase. Of course, it would be even better to have baby girls. If the baby girl was from the tribe leader’s family, her partner would be the center core of the entire tribe which signified the strongest cohesiveness to the tribe.
However, for a tribe that was on such a shortage like Saint Nazaire, it was a huge joyous occasion to have the four fresh troops now, so Sandy couldn’t be blamed for her excitement.
Gu Mengmeng patted on Sandy’s hands and said, “Hey, don’t be so excited. You might give birth to some baby girls for our tribe this year. If that happens, let’s have infant matrimony.”
Sandy tilted her head and asked, “What’s infant matrimony?”
Gu Mengmeng waved and signaled all the four little ones to come over, before saying, “If you give birth to baby boys in the future, let them become brothers, help and support each other, back each other up. If you give birth to a baby girl…”
Gu Mengmeng rubbed her nose, let out an awkward smile and said, “Then let her choose one she’s satisfied with my family, give some priority to my sons.”
While Gu Mengmeng did not want to plan for her sons’ marriages so early, the gender ratio in this world was too unbalanced, she could not possibly make her sons be single for life, right?
She would not say anything if they stayed single, but what if they ended up distorted females like Nina?
Compared to that, Gu Mengmeng rather her sons to be together with Sandy’s daughters, at least they knew each other long enough.
Sandy had a soft heart, her daughters would not be any worse. Besides, they were both from the same tribe, if Sandy really gave both to a female cub, Gu Mengmeng would educate the cub herself too, as the daughter-in-law to be.
