Siheyuan: After being reincarnated as a master's daughter

At this time, in the bustling crowd, several middle-aged women in thick cotton-padded jackets gathered together, staring at the brand new TV with curiosity and envy in their eyes. One of the middle-aged women couldn't help but say, "Huai Ru, since your family has just bought this TV, please turn it on for us to see! So that we can see what the difference is between it and the one in the uncle's house!"

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a burst of agreement from the surroundings. Another aunt nodded and said, "That's right, Huairu, please be kind and satisfy our curiosity!"

Not only that, several young and strong guys also came over, each of them with a playful look on their face, and they were shouting at the same time: "Sister Qin, please don't dawdle, just open this treasure of yours! We can't wait to see it! Let's see how powerful this 14-inch TV is?" Some of the guys even deliberately made exaggerated expressions, making others laugh.

Qin Huairu smiled and stood up and said, "Then please help me install it."

At this moment, several strong and energetic young men quickly stood out from the crowd. They held their heads high, patted their chests, and confidently expressed their willingness to help install the TV.

Not long after, with the concerted efforts of these enthusiastic young men, the TV was finally successfully installed. It was the coldest time of the year, and the biting cold wind blew on the cheeks of everyone present, but everyone seemed to not care about the cold weather at all. Instead, they gathered together happily, watching Qin Huairu walk slowly to the TV and gently press the power switch with expectation.

With a slight "swooshing" sound, the TV screen began to light up gradually. Then, a blurry figure slowly emerged. However, when everyone looked closely, they found that the picture displayed by this TV was only in black and white! So, people couldn't help but look at each other, and cast their eyes on Qin Huairu with puzzled faces, and asked in unison: "Huairu, is your TV broken? Why is there no color at all?"

Facing everyone's questions, Qin Huairu still had a bright smile on her face, and explained calmly: "Oh, don't get me wrong! My family bought a black and white TV! Think about it, although the color of this black and white TV is more monotonous, its size is much larger than that of a color TV! Moreover, it is said that watching this large-screen black and white TV for a long time can protect our eyes! So, I specially chose this black and white TV to buy."

Although Qin Huairu's words were very convincing, everyone present knew it clearly in their hearts - everyone knew that the reason why the Jia family chose to buy a black and white TV was simply to save money. But she had to put on a convincing and pretentious look, which made people feel a little ridiculous and helpless. However, due to the relationship, everyone couldn't expose her lies in person, so they could only mutter a few words in their hearts and continue to stare at the black and white TV with interest.

But it's free TV.

Everyone wanted to watch it, but before they had watched for a few minutes, Jia Zhang stood in front of the TV, blocking it, and said to everyone, "You have to pay to watch my TV. After all, it consumes a lot of electricity. I don't want much. Just give me five dollars a month."

Hearing this, everyone laughed out loud. Originally, watching this black and white TV did not feel like watching TV at all, but after they watched it for only a few minutes, Jia Zhang couldn't wait to collect the money, and it was five dollars per person.

So dark!

They only paid two yuan per household to watch TV at an uncle's house. How could Jia Zhang have the nerve to say that?

As soon as they heard Jia Zhang say that they would collect money, everyone dispersed. Those with bad tempers even spat on the ground on purpose.

Damn, if I had known, they wouldn’t have helped with the installation.

In just a few seconds, everyone at the entrance of Jia's courtyard had left.

Seeing that everyone had left, Xiaodang and Huaihua couldn't wait to say, "Grandma, it's cold outside, why don't we move inside and watch TV!"

"What are you looking at? The electricity is free, how can you make money?" Jia Zhang was originally thinking, why can Yi Zhonghai's TV be rented? My own TV can't be rented, don't think of making a fortune, I didn't expect these people to be so ignorant. When they heard that they would charge money, they all left.

Jia Zhang spat on the ground: "Pah! What a bunch of idiots, a bunch of poor people, they can't even watch TV."

Xiaodang and Huaihua both shrank their necks and didn't dare to say they wanted to watch TV.

Qin Huairu touched her two daughters' heads. She felt sorry for them, so she immediately asked Jia and Zhang to move the table into the house and turned on the TV for her two daughters to watch.

Jia Zhang wanted to turn off the TV and wait for her grandson to come back before turning it on to watch together, but Qin Huairu said, "Let Huaihua and Xiaodang watch it!"

Jia Zhang moved her mouth as if to say something but didn't say anything. Instead, she glared at her two granddaughters, moved a stool, and sat in front of the TV to watch TV.

As night fell, the sky was as dark as if covered with a layer of thick ink. At this time when everything was quiet, Banggeng returned home with a slightly tired step. He had been out all day with his classmates today, trying to find a job for the winter vacation. He thought that as long as he could earn more money, his mother would not look for another man in the future. However, he had been out with his classmates all day, but in the end, he could not find anyone.
