Chapter 419: Chapter 419 Unexpected Person(3)_1

The more she thought about it, the more excited she became, and the more vigorously she spoke. "I’m telling you, Ma Tongsheng, this road doesn’t belong to your family alone. Why can’t I walk here? I, a fully able person, am assisting an elder to walk. Shouldn’t you make way for us? Oh right, now I remember."

As she spoke, she stared at Ma Zhicai with ill intentions.

Some onlookers intentionally urged her on, "What did you think of?"

"I’ve just remembered who really is blind. It’s none other than this Ma Tongsheng here. Forsaking a golden phoenix for the title of a ’Tongsheng’, I wonder who he’s trying to impress with this act?" Little Miss Pang explained loudly.

Everyone erupted into laughter upon hearing this.

"Ah, no wonder he can only keep the title of Tongsheng with his narrow sight. How could he possibly become a scholar? Is that not right, folks?" Little Miss Pang, seeing the crowd’s support, doubled down on her speech.

"Exactly!" Many people loudly agreed. The villagers who worked at the Lin Family’s place frequently mingled with Lin Changshu and Wu Dayou, and naturally took the Lin Family’s side when issues arose.

Ma Zhicai had never been publicly humiliated like this before. Amidst the crowd’s loud laughter, his face turned beet red — he looked unusually fierce. How dare these peasants laugh at him! Once he becomes a distinguished graduate, he’ll make sure not to spare a single one of them.

Almost all the villagers in Shili Village practiced martial arts. Ma Zhicai’s threatening gaze didn’t intimidate anyone. On the contrary, seeing him enraged made everyone laugh even more.

"I’m telling you, Ma Tongsheng, if your studies are so poor, you’re not trying to falsely accuse me, are you?" Little Miss Pang continued to provoke him.

"You bump into people and have the audacity to speak such nonsense. You’re nothing more than a shrew." Stung by her words, Ma Zhicai started to fight back. Coarse language that he normally wouldn’t utter started spilling out of his mouth.

"Listen to him, everyone! Is this how a scholar talks? All he can say is ’nonsense’ - where have all his years of studying gone? Ah, he must have fed it to a dog." When it came to verbal fights, Little Miss Pang was hardly ever bested in the village.

Ma Zhicai, a man who highly values his reputation, couldn’t hold his ground against her. "You, you’ll spend the rest of your life as a Tongsheng."

Little Miss Pang really knew how to hit where it hurt. She purposely brought up the things Ma Zhicai didn’t want to talk about.

Madam Pang stood off to the side quietly listening, showing no intention of stopping Little Miss Pang.

"What nonsense are you spouting?" Before Ma Zhicai could raise a fist in his heated state, Mrs. Yan forced her way through the crowd. Upon spotting Little Miss Pang, she lunged at her, aiming for her chubby face.

Little Miss Pang was so focused on mocking Ma Zhicai that she didn’t notice Mrs. Yan’s approach. Caught off guard, she found herself on the back foot, getting scratched all over her face.

Everyone was gathered outside in the summer heat, their faces covered in sweat. The scratches on her face stung fiercely in the heat, and she could tell she was bleeding.

This was unacceptable. Every woman cared about her appearance. Even though Little Miss Pang was plump, she didn’t want her face to bear the brunt of someone’s rage. "You shameless woman! With your son’s behavior, he dreams of becoming a scholar? Look at yourself before you spray crap. You have a pig’s face. You’ll never amount to anything. You’ll never have a scholar in this lifetime." As her mouth spouted insults, Little Miss Pang did not hold back with her hands. Standing taller than Mrs. Yan, she lunged forward and managed to grab Mrs. Yan’s long hair.

When women fight, if their hair gets grabbed, they have little chance of escaping.

Mrs. Yan was considered rather fierce in the village. She was quite a match for Little Miss Pang. With her hair caught, she could only stoop and circle around Little Miss Pang, putting her at a disadvantage. However, Mrs. Yan was not one to admit defeat easily. She kept kicking at Little Miss Pang’s knees until finally, unable to withstand the kicks, Little Miss Pang was forced to release her grip.
