The Hu Family had agreed, and they were so happy that they hardly knew how to contain their excitement. When the matchmaker came back singing their praises, the matter was almost settled.
Madam Lin was also very happy, just waiting for the Hu Family to come and make the formal proposal.
But she waited and waited to no avail; growing anxious, she sent someone to inquire and heard that Hu Yu Qing, while walking down the street, had been hit on the head by a falling flower pot from a balcony above. He had been in a coma for two or three days, and although he was now awake, due to the severity of his injury, he was confined to his bed, groaning all day long.
Madam Lin's heart sank, and in her own room, she cursed angrily, "Which damned fool didn't secure the flower pot properly? With so many people on the street, look who got hit?"
