With the enrollment of new students in the prefectural school, rents in the area around Kangxue Street all increased.
However, their landlord, the Yu family, did not raise the price and still rented to them at the previous rate.
In the words of the Yu family's landlord, if it weren't for them, his house would not have been rented out even at a lower price, let alone sold at a reasonable price in the future.
Just like the Xiao family across the street now.
Now that the rents in Kangxue Street had increased quite a bit and many people couldn't find a place to rent, the Xiao family, though in jail, had also listed their house with the agency.
But basically, as soon as people made inquiries, the rent was pushed down to one tael a month, and still no one rented it.
Especially since most of the renters in Kangxue Street were scholars, who were particularly concerned about their reputations.
