The exemption of rent had indeed stirred up a significant commotion, which Qin Zhenzhen and Su Bin had anticipated.
Qin Zhenzhen remarked, "The village fields are exceptionally fertile, but the rent is exorbitant."
Nonetheless, despite the high rents, some villagers were still willing to rent these fields due to their proximity and ease of management.
If these landowners were determined to compel the villagers to make a choice, there would likely be individuals who preferred to rent the fertile village fields. These fields offered the assurance of a bountiful harvest and were conveniently situated close to home.
Su Bin concurred, saying, "Yes, the rents were quite steep, about half of the harvest."
He reflected on their family's history, sharing, "In the past, we relied on rent."
