Husband's Mysterious Test Begins

Having been married for three years, I had never met my husband's family.

However, as I had a bad cold and bought 9.9-dollar cold medicine from a small clinic to save money, I accidentally saw my husband, Keith Laurent, at a luxury auction while watching a video.

He splurged on money with a beautiful woman in his arms.

The video blogger said, "If you don't have a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, you can't even attend this auction. This is the clear distinction between the poor and the rich."

The rich?

But I remembered that to save money, Keith was unwilling to buy even 29.9-dollar condoms and made me take 9.9-dollar birth control pills.

Keith and I had been together for six years.

Like most couples who had struggled in New York, we rented a house on the most run-down streets.

To be able to afford a house in New York and settle down, Keith and I worked hard to make money and lived frugally in our daily lives.

Therefore, seeing him in the video at a luxury auction, dressed in a suit and tie, I thought it was part of his job.

But then the video blogger said, "The people in the seats are all billionaires, and we ordinary people can hardly reach the heights in our lifetime.

"If you don't have a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars, you can't even attend this auction. This is the clear distinction between the poor and the rich."

As I heard this, the first scene that flashed through my mind was the scene from a few days ago.

Keith and I had been married for three years. Due to financial pressure, we had agreed not to have children for the time being.

And to avoid any accidents, he and I went to the store and tried to buy some condoms worth 29.9 dollars.

This was already the cheapest.

But Keith put them back. "Too expensive. We need to be frugal with the money. After all, we have to save money for the down payment on a house.

"When I went to the pharmacy before, I saw a contraceptive pill for 9.9 dollars. Honey, how about you bear with it for a while? When I have money, I will definitely let you live a good life!"

I got a little angry when I heard this. "Don't you know how much damage the 9.9-dollar pills will cause to my body? What's wrong with you?"

But Keith complained, "Didn't I spend all my money on your mom's medical treatment three years ago? We should save as much as we can now. A house, remember?

"Besides, the medicine has national standard certification and is available in drugstores, so it must be safe to take. Honey, just bear with it for a while..."

I felt terrible, but I thought back to three years ago when my mother was seriously ill and needed 300 grand for surgery.

Not only did Keith not break up with me, but he also gave me all his savings without complaining, and only then did he save my mom from the brink of death.

Because of his kindness, I ended up marrying him.

But now, I watched Keith in the video over and over again.

He was in high spirits, smiling, chatting, laughing with the female companion next to him, and splurging on his money.

My eyes became confused, and doubts arose in my heart.

Even if it was work, would he have to do so?

Keith was a programmer who worked regularly, occasionally forced to work overtime by his boss. Could he handle such a vanity fair in his stride?

Actually, we had been together for six years.

But I'd never met his family...

Once the seed of doubt was planted, everything would be suspicious.

I went home without questioning and waited quietly for Keith to come back.

Keith worked overtime tonight and came back drunk at midnight.

"Are you okay? I made some lemonade for you. Drink it." I brought the lemonade over to him and cleaned him up.

Keith tugged at his shirt and said, "Vincent made me work overtime again. If the employment situation hadn't been so bad this year, I would have quit this job and looked for another one."

Keith had complained to me many times about his job, and I told him to quit and find another job if it really didn't work out.

However, he said that this company offered a high salary, and he was unwilling to quit because he was afraid that he would not find a better job.

"All this is worth it if we can buy a house and settle down in New York."

Hearing it, I felt even more sorry for him.

But this time, I pushed Keith and said, "I have prepared the bath water for you in the bathroom. Go and take a shower first."

Keith nodded and went to the bathroom to take a bath.

And I secretly checked his phone.
