Zhao Qinglan frowned. "Has it risen a lot?"
"They've doubled the price. I think they're just trying to get us to leave."
Although they could afford a price that doubled, all the houses in the area were priced the same. The rent had already increased once when their one-year lease expired and they hadn't complained. Now it was going up again.

"Don't worry, but you have to keep finding a place secret. Don't let your current landlord find out."
Zhao Qingzhu and the others also felt that it would be bad to let the landlord know, so they nodded immediately.
