To make He Yu regret - Chapter 5

When the errand boy took the country boy to the backyard, everyone was already dressed according to their roles.

The friends told them, “We are playing house of ancient marriages, and no one chose to be the groom and horse.”

The errand boy looked around, and saw Jiang Mingzhen covered with a piece of red cloth.
Without any hesitation, he finished his choice, “I want to be a horse.” Then there was no doubt who the groom would be…everyone looked at the new boy sympathetically.

He didn’t know the situation and had no objections.

“Thank you, you gave me the best role.” The little boy had a heavy local accent, and he deliberately lowered the volume when speaking. He gave a friendly smile to them. His fleshy face appeared round and bulging when smiled. Through the opaque red cloth, Jiang Mingzhen saw his expression vaguely. She stood opposite him and heard his thank you very clearly.
He was different, she thought, Unlike other people, he might have fun playing with her.
The game started in an atmosphere of peace of mind of all the staff.

Everyone performed their duties. The one playing the pet dog squatted on the ground barking, the one playing the servant began to scoop soil into a plastic bowl, and some who didn’t know what to do clapped their hands while humming the wedding march to the bride and groom…Although the theme was ancient weddings. The matchmaker waved a small handkerchief and led the bride with a red veil into the room.

The horse yelled “yo yo” in front, followed by the groom.

“Married, married.” The children grabbed the grass on the ground and threw it into the air.　Jiang Mingzhen looked at the ground, and a pair of white washed cloth shoes stood in front of her. He took her little finger and pulled her forward. The fingers that gently wrapped her little finger was like the face she saw, very fair and warm. The artificially hummed, out-of-tune, wedding march sounded again. They walked all the way to the place where the servants prepared their food.

The atmosphere of the game reached its climax, and the children roared hoarsely, “The groom lifts the veil and enters the bridal chamber.” The little bridegroom with a bun face heard the word and did it. His face was full of smiles. His hands very carefully lifted the edge of the red cloth. The moment Jiang Mingzhen saw the light again, she casted a wink at him in a good mood.
Immediately afterwards, the plot sprinted in a direction she had never expected. The boy’s smile froze on his face, as if he accidentally swallowed the whole plum while eating, and got stuck in his throat.

Jiang Mingzhen reached out to grab him. The boy shrank back, almost jumped up, and screamed into her face, “Mom, mom, it’s a ghost!”

Under the blood-red veil that had been covered for too long, the scattered long hair covered the girl’s left eye, leaving the right eye loomingly. He scanned her facial features …a flat nose, thick lips, yellow – tan skin, and the right eye behind the hair stared at him in fright. When facing him the eyes were even stranger than before.

“Ghost Bride!” The children onlookers laughed.

“Hahaha Jiang Mingzhen is a ghost bride!” Jiang Mingzhen had never suffered such humiliation in her five-year-old life so far. No one told her that she was ugly.

How could she be ugly? Jiang Mingzhen often heard everyone say only one sentence that she really looked like her mother. Her mother Xu Meiyin was a famous beauty. Therefore, Jiang Mingzhen had always thought that she was a copied version of her mother, her eyes were much smaller than her mother, and her nose was much flatter than her mother. The mouth was more like her father’s, thick.

Was there something wrong? She would be as beautiful as her mother when she grows up. Jiang Mingzhen was furious. She was so angry that she couldn’t perform at the usual level, and she started to go crazy on the spot.

“You, how dare you…” She clenched her fists, and amidst the laughter of her companions, she slapped the country boy who had offended her harshly.

“I am telling you!” Gritting her teeth, and said word by word, “He Yu! You will regret it!”
He dared to provoke her. Jiang Mingzhen would see how he would live in peace at Jiang’s house in the future.
