The best answer is Mrs. Crater claims that she would not give her daughter away for anything, when in fact she gives her away for nothing at all.
Explanation
If you talk about the irony of a situation, you mean that it is odd or amusing because it involves a contrast. So when Mr. Crater says "I wouldn’t give her up for nothing on earth", she doesn't mean it because she even pays Mr. Shiftlet to marry her daughter.
