Chapter 169 Group fight

When it was time to go to work in the afternoon, the sun was still shining brightly on the earth, and the fields were bustling with activity.

Just then, several elderly women carrying farm tools slowly walked over, chatting about everyday matters while keeping an eye on their surroundings.

Suddenly, one of the sharp-eyed older women spotted Ma Aning walking towards them from not far away.

Aunt Qin, who was walking at the front, spoke first and asked, "Ah Ning, that young man came to your house this morning. What did he want? He looked very energetic. Is he a soldier?"

She looked at Ma Aning with curiosity, hoping to get an answer from her.

Ma Aning smiled slightly and replied, "Sister-in-law Qin, your eyesight is truly impeccable. That young man is indeed a soldier. However, he just came to see my Xiao Chuan about a small matter."

Ma Aning is a low-key person and doesn't want to publicize her son's conscription too much. She knows the villagers will find out in a couple of days, so there's no need to say it now.

Upon hearing this, the other older women nearby all perked up their ears and widened their eyes, looking ready to listen to some gossip.

Especially Ma's wife, who had never gotten along with Ma Aning, interjected sourly, "Oh ho, what could she possibly want with your son? Did your son get into some trouble and the soldiers came knocking on your door?"

After saying that, he rolled his eyes and a mocking smile appeared on his lips.

Upon hearing this, Ma Aning flew into a rage. She was no longer someone to be bullied.

With a sharp look in her eyes and clenched teeth, she charged straight at Sister Ma like an angry lion without saying a word.

Before anyone could react, she had already raised her right hand high and slapped Sister Ma's slightly chubby cheek with lightning speed.

As the crisp sound of a slap rang out, the surrounding air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Her eyes widened in anger, and she pointed at Sister Ma, shouting, "Shut your stinking mouth! If you can't speak properly, then shut up, or don't blame me for teaching you a lesson!"

The roar was like a thunderclap, exploding in everyone's ears.

The sudden slap left Sister Ma dizzy and disoriented, her face burning with pain.

She stared wide-eyed in disbelief at the woman who usually seemed so docile, who dared to treat her like this.

After regaining her senses, she covered her injured face and let out a shrill scream: "How dare you hit me? I'll fight you to the death!" Her voice was sharp and piercing, filled with shock and anger.

Before she could finish speaking, Sister Ma lunged at Ma Aning like a madwoman, baring her teeth and brandishing her claws.

In an instant, the two were entangled, pulling each other's hair and grabbing each other's clothes, neither willing to give in.

Their movements were intense and brutal, showing no regard for the presence of others.

Several other elderly women who were working in the fields heard the commotion and quickly put down their farm tools, rushing over to the scene.

Seeing the chaotic scene before them, they were all speechless with shock.

But they quickly came to their senses and rushed forward to try to separate the two who were wrestling.

Some of the older women held Ma Aning's arms tightly, pulling her back while pleading with her, "Oh, Aning, calm down, let's talk this out, don't hit her!"

However, Ma Aning was completely blinded by anger and wouldn't listen to any advice. She just kept trying to break free from her aunt's restraints and continue fighting with her sister-in-law.

Other older women grabbed Ma's waist from behind, trying their best to pull her away, but Ma's wife was like a mad beast, twisting her body and cursing foul language, refusing to give up no matter what.

The whole scene was in complete chaos, with shouts and curses rising and falling.

Despite everyone's best efforts to persuade them, the two women, their eyes already bloodshot, showed no sign of backing down and fought each other again with all their might, neither willing to give in first.

In the midst of the fierce shoving, it is unclear who struck first, but the others were soon drawn into the melee.

What started as a fight between two women quickly escalated into a brawl involving several people.

No one else dared to step forward. After about 5 minutes, the people who were fighting gradually stopped.

They were all panting, some lying on the ground, some sitting on the ground, and some standing bent over.

"If you dare to be so foul-mouthed again, I'll beat you up without hesitation! You can try me if you don't believe me!"

Ma Aning's eyes widened in anger as she pointed her finger directly at the woman who had grown up with her in this small village, her voice filled with rage.

Upon hearing this, Sister Ma's anger flared instantly. She opened her mouth, ready to retort fiercely.

Just then, another woman standing next to her quickly grabbed her and whispered, "Let it go, don't bother with her. It's better to avoid trouble, and besides, you were in the wrong."

Although Ma's wife was unwilling, she eventually listened to the advice, gritted her teeth, and kept quiet.

Just then, the brigade leader and the village chief came running over.

The village chief, panting, stared at the chaotic scene before him—seven or eight women sitting or lying haphazardly on the ground.

He frowned and asked loudly, "What exactly happened?"

Seeing this, Sister Ma wanted to complain, but was stopped by another sister-in-law, Zhou Yanyan.

Seeing Zhou Yanyan shaking her head slightly, Sister Ma helplessly shut her mouth.
