Either Fang Xiu and Liu Junting are in cahoots, or Fang Xiu has been duped by Liu Junting. Usually, many things in the store are done by Liu Junting for her, so she herself did not notice where exactly things went wrong.
Thinking of this possibility, Fang Pingying stopped talking and quickly took out the account books for the weeks she was not here and re-calculated everything.
After careful calculation, indeed, this week, because of the longer time span between checks, the store had lost nearly 15 dollars; her previous calculations were not wrong.
If that's the case, it's clear that it wouldn't be Uncle Zeng's mistake; it's impossible for him to consistently make small errors, given that he conducts large business transactions and certainly wouldn't care about such meager sums.
Initially, she thought missing a couple of yuan a day was no big deal, but now, adding up this week's losses, it nearly totals 40 yuan—this certainly isn't a small amount anymore.
