Mr. Wang often said to Ms. Li, if you don't give me money, you don't love me.

At the beginning, the amount was small, nothing more than eating, refueling the car, holiday gifts, etc., Ms. Li felt that Mr. Wang was also struggling for the future of the small family, and it was normal to spend some money.
