Little Chen added, "Third Uncle, it's true. Many customers come in, take a look, and then head across the street."
He Lang was puzzled. "Half price? Can they even make a profit? The rent for the shop across the street can't be cheap."

Shitou said, "We're not entirely sure. We've just heard it from some customers. And their styles really are similar to ours.

Now, our store is only getting old customers, those who aren't worried about money, and people buying shoes or accessories. The clothes are barely selling at all. What are we going to do?"
