Chapter 142: Chapter 141: Need Silver

Chen Afu was sitting on the bed, not moving. He saw how Mrs. Wang was flustered as she hurriedly put away her ongoing needlework and the basket of needles and threads on the bed into the cabinet. She then grabbed Alu's silk gown, which he was supposed to wear the next day, and stuffed it into the cabinet as well. Then she locked the cabinet. She got up again to put away a set of fine porcelain tea bowls she had bought in Dingzhou into another box and locked the box as well.

Everything she did looked like she was preparing for robbers.

Once Mrs. Wang finished these quickly, she saw Chen Afu still sitting on the bed in a daze. She hurriedly helped her up from the bed and led her from the west room to the east room across the way. She told her "Afu, listen, don't come out no matter what."

Just as Mrs. Wang was closing the door to the east room, Zhui Feng and Wang Cai, who constantly cling to her, squeezed their way in too.
