Thanks to the three military wives, Shen Man not only found a tailor who was both affordable and fast, but also an old master carpenter with excellent skills.
She bought two large, ready-made wardrobes from the old master and commissioned a set of tables, chairs, small cabinets, and a wheelchair. Because she had been introduced by a mutual acquaintance and was a high-value customer, the old master didn't just give her three stools for free; he also gave her a generous discount.
On the way home, Chen Shuhe clutched the sturdy bamboo stool and kept saying how wonderful it was to have connections. For half her life, she had always paid full price for everything, and not once had anyone ever shaved a single cent off the bill for her.
