Jiang Huai parked the car at the entrance of the alley and led her in.

Sun Qing got out of the car and was dumbfounded. It wasn’t a building, but a small bungalow. He wondered if it was through the alley on another street.

So why bother to park here?

Wouldn’t it be better to drive directly to the lower floor of the district?

The book said that the county was undergoing a major housing modification and several residential districts had been built.

As one of the top contractors in the county, Jiang Huai had to get a three-bedroom apartment.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Huai brought her to the old house at the end of the alley and stopped. Then, he started to take out his key to open the door!

What happened to living in a building and living a good life?

Jiang Huai pushed the door open with all his might and entered while Sun Qing was dumbfounded.

Sun Qing suddenly recalled a plot where there was no building at all, and the original host entered an old house.

Jiang Huai had married the original host not to be in charge, but to block trouble!

After Jiang Hai’s mother died, Jiang Huai placed him at his eldest aunt’s house. He didn’t have time to raise him, let alone hand the child over to his stepmother to raise. His monthly living expenses were all paid for, including his food expenses. Jiang Huai originally thought that they would treat Jiang Hai better by being in-laws. He didn’t expect that when Jiang Hai was seven years old, he was almost beaten to death by the son of his eldest aunt.

From then on, he brought Jiang Hai to his side and completely cut off all contact with the Liu family!

It was unknown how the Liu family found out where Jiang Huai lived. From time to time, they would come to his house to ask for money. Jiang Huai changed places to stay, but he couldn’t shake them off.

This time, it was even worse. They said that they were going to arrange a marriage for Jiang Huai, but unfortunately, there was no one to take care of Jiang Hai. The two elders of the Liu family, who were Jiang Hai’s grandparents, couldn’t find Jiang Huai, so they went to find Jiang Hai and caused trouble at his school.

The reason why Jiang Huai married Sun Qing was because he had taken a fancy to the Sun family. If they dared to ask for benefits, they would definitely be beaten up by the Sun family!

Sun Qing was happy again. This was a mutual benefit, and it was only right that she was paid to do things!

After knowing that Jiang Huai wasn’t staying here because he was poor, Sun Qing’s mood instantly soared. Even the tattered furniture in the house looked antique and especially charming!

Seeing how Jiang Huai checked his watch a few times along the way, she could tell that he still had urgent business to attend to.

After Jiang Huai entered, he asked Sun Qing to wait in the living room while he quickly entered the room. He came out with a suitcase and a paper bag.

He placed the paper bag on the table, along with a set of key fobs.

From the shape of the paper bag, it should contain money!

Sun Qing was overjoyed!

Although she really wanted to hold all the paper bags in her hand, she still had to be reserved!

Jiang Huai didn’t see the change in Sun Qing. He neatly put down the luggage and opened the paper bag.

Just as Sun Qing thought, there was money inside.

Jiang Huai took three 50-dollar bills from it and felt that it wasn’t enough, so he took another.

“The key is on the main door of the house. Jiang Hai has one, so don’t worry about it. Take mine first. See if there’s anything else you want to buy at home with this money. Buy it as you see fit!”

Jiang Huai glanced at his watch and casually handed over four 50-dollar bills.

“Hubby, you’re too good to me. Just go to work without worry. I promise to decorate the house so beautifully that you won’t recognize it!” In the next second, Sun Qing picked up the paper bag and stuffed it into her pocket!

Jiang Huai looked at the outstretched hand faintly. Was his way of speaking wrong? Or was his action of giving money wrong?

That was why she had such a misunderstanding?

Sun Qing acted as if she didn’t see Jiang Huai’s ugly face. She transformed into a lark and began to chatter.

“Hubby, be careful on the way! Don’t worry about money when you’re outside. If you’re sick, your family will be worried. Have you packed your luggage? Have you brought enough clothes? Have you brought any food? I know how to cook delicious food. Why don’t you eat before leaving?” As Sun Qing spoke, she clasped her hands together and looked at Jiang Huai with starry eyes. Her eyes were filled with concern, as if they would overflow from her eyes at any moment.
