Chapter 921 (Page 1/2)
Watching the two children walking away, Xiao Ya felt a little reluctant and couldn't help but say to Huo Qingyan, "Qingyan, why don't we take them back with us?"
However, Huo Qingyan shook his head firmly and comforted his mother, "Mom, don't worry. Comrade Xu will definitely take good care of the two children."
Although Xiao Ya was still very worried, since her son said so, she couldn't say anything more. She could only sigh silently, hoping that Xu Xiaomin could really take good care of the two children.
Tang Lihong was particularly excited when she thought about her daughter's shop opening today.
She hurriedly finished the housework at home, without even having time to drink a sip of water, and hurriedly rode her bicycle to Jingjing Women's Clothing Store on East Street.
As soon as she entered the store, Tang Lihong was stunned by the scene before her.
I saw my daughter Song Jingjing standing in front of the counter, pointing at a girl named Zhang Fen with an angry face, cursing non-stop:
"Zhang Fen, are you stupid? You can't even do math! 26+17+19 clearly equals 62, yet you only charged the customer 55 yuan. How did you calculate that?"
Facing Song Jingjing's accusation, Zhang Fen seemed a little aggrieved. She quickly defended herself, "Auntie Song, don't be angry. Your handwriting is so ugly. I accidentally mistook 26 yuan for 20 yuan, so I made a mistake in the calculation."
After hearing Zhang Fen's explanation, Song Jingjing became even more furious. She said angrily, "You said my handwriting is ugly? You, a little girl who hasn't even finished junior high school, actually have the nerve to say my handwriting is ugly!
Look at your own handwriting. You can even write the character for 'pants' with the character '礻' as the radical. It's clearly written with the character '衤' as the radical. Did you eat up all that?
Tang Lihong never expected that her daughter would quarrel so fiercely with a little girl over such a trivial matter.
She walked over quickly, pulled Song Jingjing aside, and asked angrily, "Jingjing, what are you doing? Can't you just talk it out calmly? Why do you have to make such a fuss?"
When Song Jingjing saw her mother coming, the depression in her heart immediately dissipated a lot, and her tone softened. She said, "Mom, why are you here?"
"Come to your shop and see if you need my help."
Tang Lihong glanced at her, and Song Jingjing quickly pulled a stool from behind the cash register.
"Mom, please sit down!"
Tang Lihong looked around and saw that the store was empty, without a single customer.
She couldn't help but feel suspicious and turned to ask her daughter, "Jingjing, how is business in the store? Why can't we see any customers at this time of year?"
Song Jingjing quickly explained, "Mom, don't worry. Business is actually pretty good. Look, two customers just left. It's just..."
She changed the subject, looking embarrassed, "It was that little girl who made a mistake in the calculations and caused me to lose seven dollars!"
When Tang Lihong heard that she had lost seven yuan, her heart tightened and she felt very distressed. "Ah? Seven yuan is missing! Why didn't you take a closer look?"
Song Jingjing said a little aggrievedly: "Mom, I was busy entertaining another guest at the time and didn't pay any attention to it.

Besides, when Xiaofen made a mistake in the calculation, I didn’t pay much attention to it. Just now, when I took out the receipt and carefully calculated it, I found out that it was wrong.”
After saying that, Song Jingjing's gaze fell on Zhang Fen and she said sternly, "Xiao Fen, you made a mistake in this calculation. This money must be deducted from your salary!"
When Zhang Fen heard that her salary was going to be deducted, she burst into tears and cried while trying to defend herself:
"Wow, Aunt Song, you really can't blame me for this! You clearly wrote it as 20 yuan when you made the order, how can you blame me for this?"
As she spoke, she took out the receipt stub and handed it to Tang Lihong. Tang Lihong glanced at the receipt stub and saw that the hook of the number 6 was a little too short and too light, but she could still make out the number 6.
This matter really made her feel very difficult, because no matter how she handled it, it might lead to some unpleasant consequences.
If Zhang Fen is not required to pay compensation, her daughter will definitely be dissatisfied and feel that it is unfair.
But if Zhang Fen was asked to pay compensation, the little girl would definitely make a big fuss, and it might even affect the business of the store.
What's worse is that today is the first day of business! It should have been an auspicious day, but something like this happened.
I lost seven dollars in one day. How much would I lose in this month? Although the profit in the clothing industry is relatively large, it can't withstand such continuous losses.
After careful consideration, she felt that she should teach the little girl a lesson and let her know the consequences of her actions.
So, she said to Zhang Fen, "Xiao Fen, I, your Aunt Song, also have some responsibility in this matter.
How about this? I'll deduct four dollars from your salary this month and forget about the other three dollars. What do you think?"
Zhang Fen's little mouth was pouting so high it looked like an oil bottle could be hung on it. Her face was full of reluctance, but she still nodded reluctantly and muttered, "Okay then, I'll listen to Grandma Tang."
However, she felt like there was a fire burning in her heart and was extremely angry.
She thought to herself that if Song Jingjing really went back to eat and left her alone in the store, then she would have a chance.
Zhang Fen made a plan in her mind. She decided to raise the price of the clothes while Song Jingjing was away.
In this way, she can earn more money, fill the four-dollar gap first, and then save the rest quietly.
However, Song Jingjing knew nothing about this. If she knew Zhang Fen's little tricks, she would probably drive her away without hesitation.
After all, she is not a fool. How could she leave the store to an outsider and go back to eat?
Even if Song Jingjing really wanted to go back for dinner, she would definitely choose to close the store directly and would never give Zhang Fen a chance to take advantage of her.
What's more, the longer she spent with Zhang Fen, the more she looked down on her. She thought she was a little silly, not only was she not good at speaking, but she was also not very smart.
