(QBĐT) - On a weekend morning, while cleaning the house, Ms. N. saw the village head come over to announce that she needed to pay a fee. She quickly went to find her wallet but didn't have enough cash, so she told the head:

- Let me transfer the money to you first, I haven't had time to withdraw the cash yet!

- Okay, I haven't updated the account yet. I'll come back to collect it tomorrow, remember to prepare the cash.

After saying that, the old man turned away, looking displeased, muttering something under his breath that she could hear:

- It was a waste of my time to go and collect it...

After the village headman left, Ms. N. thought to herself: These are voluntary contributions... I've been very helpful, and yet they're getting annoyed with me for transferring the money because they don't use bank accounts. That's a bit much.

Perhaps we should reconsider the practice of collecting these voluntary contributions, considering both necessary and unnecessary ones, instead of blindly complying just because they fear being an exception or because it might be a small amount of money...!? People mistakenly believe they have a responsibility to contribute!
