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.
