"Kangkang, hurry up and come out, pull your dad away, someone's going to get killed!" Ma Ma howled as she tried to break up the fight with Liu Ping.
The two men, blinded by rage, were not something that two middle-aged women could pull apart. For a moment, the four of them shoved back and forth from one end of the corridor to the other, their howling drawing the neighbors from upstairs and downstairs to poke their heads out for a peek at the excitement, but no one stepped in to break up the fight. Some even laughed and egged the men on to fight harder.
As the door from another neighbor on the same floor opened, Ma Kang also just happened to come out and saw his dad about to be thrown to the ground. He hurried over, wanting to cushion his dad's fall, while Ma Ma's eyes widened in horror, unable to utter a sound. She clearly saw that the spot where Ma Kang threw himself was exactly where a beer bottle had lost its cap!
