Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Cannot Withstand a Single Blow_1

Mrs. Hongxia hadn’t expected to be called a jinx by others and didn’t know how to react.

Seeing the onlookers’ strange looks, as if she were truly the jinx that doomed her in-laws and husband to death, Mrs. Hongxia was so agitated that she lost her mind, didn’t even take off her shoes, and ran through the field towards An Jing.

”See if I don’t tear your stinking mouth apart, you’ll stop talking nonsense!”

Unfortunately, although she shouted loudly and had a strong momentum, as soon as her foot touched the paddy field, she got tripped up by the mud and lost her balance before reaching An Jing, falling forward face-first into the water and mud.

She was covered in water and mud all over.

”Hahaha—” An Jing swore, that wasn’t her laughter, but the crowd’s schadenfreude laughter.

An Jing was speechless. The people of Jiuping Village were all such top-tier scum.

However, seeing Mrs. Hongxia fall like that, she was quite pleased herself.

Not sure if the fall softened her legs, but when Mrs. Hongxia got up and tried to rush at An Jing again, she stumbled a few steps and lost her balance once more, falling down heavily again.

Instantly, mud and water splashed everywhere.

Mrs. Hongxia got another mouthful of water and mud, looking extremely miserable.

”Hahaha—” The onlookers laughed so hard they were bending forward and backward.

After falling twice in a row and both times so heavily, Mrs. Hongxia didn’t have the strength to rush at An Jing anymore, nor the desire to tear An Jing’s mouth while struggling to stand up; she figured she should stand firm first.

Eventually, it was only after Mrs. Hongxia took off her shoes that she could somewhat balance herself.

Seeing the onlookers looking at her as if she were a joke, the extremely miserable Mrs. Hongxia had no face to stay any longer. She cast an angry glance at An Jing, then picked up her shoes and walked towards the ridge.

Once she got out of the field and onto the dike, Mrs. Hongxia headed home without looking back. Today, she had completely lost face, and her reputation in Jiuping Village was likely gone for good. She might even be called a jinx by others.

Not having vented her anger but instead causing herself embarrassment, Mrs. Hongxia now wished not only for Xiao Changyi’s death, but also for An Jing to die quickly, to save her from getting angry every time she saw her.

It was only after everyone had dispersed that An Jing whispered to Changyi, ”Defeated so easily, would I, a modern person, really lose to such an ancient woman?”

Changyi stopped fishing and stood there, the corners of his mouth barely visible as they curled up. He looked at An Jing with indulgence and doting for a long while before he lowered his head and gently rubbed An Jing’s forehead with his.

An Jing found the rubbing ticklish, and of course, her heart felt sweet; her smile grew wider on her face, but she still deliberately said, ”It’s broad daylight, and people are harvesting rice; aren’t you afraid of being seen?”

Changyi didn’t speak but rubbed her forehead again, his intention quite clear: he wasn’t afraid.

An Jing’s eyes squinted with joy, sweet as anything. She raised her hand and tapped Changyi’s nose, leaving a bit of mud on the tip of his nose.

Changyi wasn’t angry; instead, he also raised his hand and tapped on An Jing’s nose, leaving a bit of mud on hers too.

Both of their hands had been through the paddy field and were now very dirty, so it would have been strange if they hadn’t gotten mud on them.

An Jing wasn’t annoyed but even happier as she said, ”My Lord, we truly are a match made in heaven. I can’t find anyone as well-matched as we are~”

Changyi nodded seriously, ”Mm.”

Immediately, An Jing’s eyes disappeared into her smile.
