The scene suddenly became quiet, and everyone was watching the Yi family's reaction. You know, since some unpleasant things happened, the two families have not communicated for a long time. It has always been Qin Huairu who took the initiative to greet, but the Yi family never responded. Now everyone is curious, will the Yi family accept the TV watching fee paid by Qin Huairu?

Yi Jiale held the pen and looked at his father, asking whether he should take notes.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Qin Huairu who was handing over the money with both hands in front of him, then looked at the three children who were staring eagerly at him. Thinking of his apprentice Jia Dongxu, his heart softened. He took the money and nodded to his daughter.

Yi Jiale didn't care and just wrote down the names. When watching TV these past two days, Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua, the three siblings, would mingle in the crowd and watch from the side. They never dared to sit in the middle with the group of kids. As long as they didn't act weird, Yi Jiale didn't care about these people.

Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua were very happy and excited to see that their mother had successfully paid the money. Ever since they had a bad relationship with the uncle's family, most of the children in the yard and outside the yard had a good relationship with Tuanzi, and people everywhere called Tuanzi aunt. Whenever the three siblings played with others, they were always excluded. They could only play by themselves or have some individual friends in other yards.

Even when watching TV, they had to hide at the edge and watch. The three of them had long envied those children who could sit in the middle on a small stool and watch with Tuanzi.

They will definitely be able to watch TV openly in the future.

Jia Zhang had a gloomy face the whole time. When she got home, she started to yell, "Why didn't you listen to me? You just wanted to watch his TV for a while, but you had to pay so much money? Besides, if we want to watch TV, we can just watch it in the crowd. Can he still kick us out?"

Qin Huairu was so impressed by her mother-in-law that she could not get anything out of her by trying to reason with her. She said in a rude tone, "An adult only gets one dollar a month. Our family can afford it. You must remember that this money is earned by me."

"Besides, Bang Geng and his little brother have to hide behind adults and watch them for three days. You can bear it, but I can't."

Jia Zhang was about to say, the money was easy to come by, you can have it by just opening your legs, but after looking at the three children, she swallowed her words and didn't say them out loud, nor did she say anything else that would be unpleasant.

……

Yi Zhonghai's family,

Yi Jiale looked at the electricity bill on the table and asked his father, "Dad, how much is the electricity bill per kilowatt-hour now?"

"The electricity rate in the city is 5 cents, but I remember that in the countryside and other areas it's about cents."

"Then our TV consumes about 3 to 5 kWh of electricity every day. If we calculate based on 5 kWh per day, that's cents a day, which is yuan a month."

The lady frowned as she looked at the 18 yuan on the table, then turned to look at Yi Zhonghai and Yi Jiale and said, "Old Yi, did we collect too much?"

Yi Zhonghai was about to speak, but Yi Jiale interrupted him: "Mom, what you said is not right! We turn on this TV every day, so the wear and tear will be so severe. We never know when it will break down, and then we will have to pay for the repair, right? Isn't it normal to have this extra money? Otherwise, why should we let others watch the TV that we spent so much money on for free? We are not stupid, there must be some benefits!" After saying that, she raised her eyebrows at Yi Zhonghai proudly, and her eyes seemed to say: Dad, am I right?

Yi Zhonghai had a faint smile on his face, his eyes sparkling with satisfaction. He nodded slightly, turned to look at his wife and said, "Why are you not as insightful as our daughter? Besides, I don't need these dozen dollars. The reason I want to charge money is to let those people know a little bit and stop taking advantage of others. Do I care about the monthly electricity bill when I spend more than 600 yuan to buy a TV?"

Then, Yi Zhonghai paused and continued to explain: "This is a win-win situation! First of all, they come to watch our TV and pay, and we will definitely feel much better. Secondly, they will feel at ease after paying, after all, they will no longer feel that they owe others."

"To be honest, I didn't intend to charge money at first. I always believed that our TV belongs to us. It's our freedom to show it to others if we want to, and it's OK if we don't want to show it. Who else has the right to interfere? But later, several families came to me to discuss it, hoping that I could charge money, so I agreed."

Yi Jiale took the 18 yuan in his hand and said with a smile: "I guess it won't cost money to repair TVs in the future. Didn't I take my dad to read a lot of books on mechanical repair before? I have also studied books on TV repair. I will study them carefully during this period of time. When our TV breaks down, I will be able to repair it myself."

"That's a good feeling!"

Yi Zhonghai looked at his wife, his eyes full of tenderness and love, and said softly: "Cuiyun, why don't you give all this money to our daughter! From now on, it will be her pocket money and also her salary for maintaining the TV. In this way, she can learn how to manage money and also have a stronger sense of responsibility."

After hearing this, the aunt turned to look at her daughter. After hearing her father's words, her daughter's originally dull eyes suddenly became bright, her eyes were full of expectation and desire, and she stared at her closely. Seeing this scene, the aunt couldn't help laughing out loud: "Haha, you are the only one who spoils your daughter. But since that's the case, then I'll do as you say!"

"Oh yeah!" Yi Jiale was so excited that she jumped up and down when she heard her mother agreed. She shouted happily, "Great, then I will have a salary of 18 yuan every month in the future!!"

After saying that, Yi Jiale couldn't wait to run to her mother and motioned her to squat down. After her mother squatted down, she quickly kissed her on the cheek and made a loud "moo-moo-da" sound. Then, she did the same thing again, ran to her father and gave him a "moo-moo-da" sound as well.

Yi Zhonghai and the aunt laughed at their daughter's behavior, their faces filled with happy smiles. They felt the warmth and happiness of the family, and their hearts were full of yearning for a better life in the future. Yi Jiale was immersed in joy, thinking about how to use the salary and how to learn better to take care of the TV to keep it in good condition.

Yi Jiale couldn't help but be overjoyed. He shook his head with joy and sang: "I'm rich, I'm rich, I have money but nowhere to spend it~~~~"

Yi Zhonghai looked at his daughter who was getting carried away with pride and couldn't help but laugh and joked: "Tuanzi, calm down. Have you ever lost your pocket money? And you collected all those scholarships yourself. Why do you still like money so much?"

Yi Tuan's eyes widened as she retorted, "That's wrong, Dad. Even though I have money on me, it doesn't mean I won't be happy when I have more money!" She became more and more excited as she spoke, and her voice even got louder.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head helplessly and warned: "When you go out to play, don't tell others about the 18 yuan. You have to know that some people's monthly salary is less than 18 yuan! If bad people know that you have so much money, they will want to harm you out of jealousy, which will be terrible. Did you hear me?"
