The matchmaker Hua found it amusing, but since she wasn't in her own household, she felt it inappropriate to laugh out loud and could only suppress her laughter. This marriage was clearly a no-go, and the money was gone too. Had it worked out, Brother Biao would surely have paid her handsomely.
Thinking the matter was over, who knew Grandma Tian would roll up her sleeves, slam the table, and angrily declare, "This matter is not up to her. Hua the matchmaker, I have the final say in my granddaughter's affairs! Now that her father is no longer here, she must take his place in fulfilling filial duties to me. You go and tell Chen Biao, that Tian Sangsang has agreed. Have him prepare the wedding feast and wait for her arrival."
"But Tian Sangsang doesn't agree!" Hua the matchmaker said helplessly. "What good does your agreement do? If the wedding feast is ready but the bride doesn't show up, Brother Biao will come after me, and he might even bring people to smash my home!"
