The Lucky Farmgirl

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.

If you lived in a place like the Yu’s, with only rumors of hauntings, tenants could justify it by saying "a wise man does not believe in ghosts and spirits." But if you chose to live in the Xiao’s, even if you were upright in behavior, outsiders would speculate whether you shared the Xiao’s tastes.

Or if you were also interested in the house of the Yan family next door.

Wei Chen followed them into the alley and looking outward, he admired, "This location is good, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle, most suitable for studying. Eh, this place looks familiar; I seemed to have heard about it when I came here."

Bai Shanbao invited him in and replied with a smile, "This alley had a haunting situation, so Brother Wei might have heard about it."
