Chapter 175 - 172: Keeping Watch by Myself Puts Me at Ease [1600+ Votes]
——————
Xie Jingchen, in the end, cared too much for his wife. After having a casual lunch together, he made an excuse to go out and notify everyone.
As soon as he left the house, he first turned a corner and went upstairs to the home of Chen Dalang.
Chen Dalang is the husband of Sister-in-law Li who Zhang Shanni often praises, and, like himself, he had just returned from a battle.
After casually greeting Chen Dalang, Xie Jingchen’s gaze turned to Li Xiaxia who was accompanying them and said:
"Sister-in-law, I’m sorry to come and trouble you so early, but since my wife is pregnant and feeling heavy, I was hoping you could come over early to give her a hand and chat with her."
When Xie Jingchen said this, it was genuinely from the heart, not just a polite remark. He really intended for Sister Li to help Zhang Shanni with chores, but mainly to keep her company while chatting.
According to his wife’s temperament, she actually wouldn’t let outsiders work too much, but he wanted Sister Li to come over to keep an eye on his wife.
After all, his wife thought he was being naggy, which is why she sent him out—a humiliating fact he wouldn’t share with anyone else. Cough, cough, hmph...
"Ha ha, Old Xie, I’ve finally caught evidence of your ’henpecked’ crime. Sister Zhang is really fortunate to be married to our group’s youngest and most promising Camp Commander Xie!"
