Chapter 420: Chapter 420 Unexpected Person(4)_1

The two were in a direct face-off, exhibiting all their various combat skills. Clawing, scratching, biting, pulling, kicking, all moves were on the table.

Ma Zhicai stood by, watching his mother and Mrs. Pang quarrel. The rage on his face was clear to anyone, but as a man, if he were to get involved in a women’s fight, he’d doubtlessly be laughed at by everyone in the village. Although he yearned to step in and thrash Mrs.Pang, his pride took precedence, leaving him no choice but to be a silent bystander.

"Look at me, I’m nearly beaten to death by this shrew, and you just stand by watching? Is that funny to you?" Mrs. Yan, noticing her eldest daughter-in-law Mrs. Huang returning from work, suddenly found her spirits lifted. She didn’t believe that she and her daughter-in-law together couldn’t defeat Mrs. Pang.

Mrs. Huang was reluctant to get involved. In her sight, the shrewish Mrs.Yan seemed invincible. For years, she had suffered under Mrs. Yan’s hands. Seeing the situation unfold, she had initially planned to hide, but was spotted by Mrs. Yan the moment she arrived.

Since her mother-in-law had issued a direct command, she could not avoid it. Otherwise, she’d probably be beaten half to death by Mrs. Yan once they got home.

"Stop it, everyone just stop it." Mrs. Huang, compelled to join the brawl, wasn’t genuinely willing to help Mrs. Yan, she just wanted to calm the rising storm. She tried to restrain Mrs. Pang while advising Mrs. Yan to back down.

It wasn’t out of favoritism, but simply because she was too scared to restrain Mrs. Yan.

With Mrs. Huang holding her back, Mrs. Pang started receiving more hits from Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Pang didn’t consider herself a soft touch, so when things got tough she decided to retaliate against both Mrs. Huang and Mrs. Yan.

Mrs. Huang was left with no choice but to retreat.

"How dare you bully my mother?" At this critical juncture, the Zhou brothers, Zhou Ming and Zhou Fa, arrived at the scene. Despite their generally violent temperaments, the brothers had always been respectful towards their mother. When they were returning home carrying sacks of cereal, they spotted a crowd from a distance. They initially thought it would be entertaining, but as they approached, they heard their mother’s angry voice and discovered her being accosted by the Ma mother-daughter duo. Were the Mas picking on them for having fewer women in their family?

Without wasting a word, each brother stepped in and knocked an assaulter off her feet.

"You men dare to lay a hand on our women?" Witnessing this, Ma Zhicai burst into anger.

"Go to hell." Zhou Ming had long been displeased with Ma Zhicai. This boy, just because he’s spent a few extra days reading books, dares to look down on us with his nose up in the air. What’s the big deal? After so many exams, he’s still just a Scholar.

Take the scholars from the Lin family’s private academy as an example. Now, they were real scholars. Not only practiced in both writing and martial arts, but they also participated in social practices in the fields. The Lin academy has been operating for just over a year yet has already produced two promising young scholars. In contrast, what did Ma Zhicai amount to?

With this perfect opportunity, Zhou Ming immediately landied a kick on Ma Zhicai.

Technically, Ma Zhicai, as a man, should only feel the pain of Zhou Ming’s kick. However, in reality, he fell right to the ground after the kick.

"What a useless guy, just like a woman." Zhou Ming snapped their lips contemptuously.

The surrounding villagers burst into laughter.

Feeling humiliated and with his face burning, Ma Zhicai, rose to his feet and stoically looked at Zhou Ming. "Enough with these insults," he said, his voice cold as ice.
