Coming back to the 10-year-old bride, San Mao says that the girl had to be pulled along by everyone and scratched the groom's face. The groom, unwilling to let himself look weak, twisted her fingers. Later, "It was quiet all around except for the sobs of Guka (the bride) echoing through the night."
結果她筆下的十歲新娘，在婚禮時不僅被大夥兒拖著走，還抓傷了新郎的臉，新郎也不甘示弱地反扭新娘的手指，最後「四周都靜下來了，只有姑卡（新娘）發出的短促哭聲在夜空中迴響」。
