Zuo Mingdong smiled gently. "You're not the only one who's shocked. Those who spent a lot of money to rent a house before this all protested after hearing the news. They asked the base to refund them the difference in the previous rent, but how is that possible? Life has been getting worse in the past few years, and many people have moved out of the base. Now that crops can't be planted and the bug disaster is rampant, the base has no choice but to lower the rent. Things are different now. What does this have to do with the rent in the past?"
Du Yue held back her laughter and looked at Zuo Mingdong. "Captain Zuo, are you afraid that we will ask you for the price difference?"
Zuo Mingdong did not feel embarrassed at all after being seen through. Instead, he laughed out loud. "It's a joke. Ever since you left, my days have been chaotic. I have endless things to do every day. Chances to sit quietly and joke around like this are too rare."
