A Narrow Path for Enemies

Shu Pan seized the opportunity after work and hurried to the mall. Red discount banners were hanging everywhere inside the mall. Shu Pan headed for the store with the best deals and the highest discounts.

Since all the items were last year's leftovers and odd sizes, they were relatively cheap. Shu Pan didn't even dare to look at the newly arrived items, as her salary, after covering her normal expenses, left her with very little.

She carefully checked her wallet and, despite the pain, bought two dresses and a pair of shoes for Joy. The dresses were in odd sizes, and she guessed that they might make Joy look a little bigger when she wore them. However, children grow quickly, so having something a bit larger was a good idea.

After paying, Shu Pan planned to head back. The place she was renting was a bit far from the mall, but Shu Pan noticed it was still early, so, to save money, she decided to walk back.
