Lin Xia had specifically told the landlord that they would use some firewood from his yard to warm up the house and melt the frost, promising to replace it once their own firewood was delivered.
The landlord was quite generous and told them to use it directly. There were also matches and kindling in the house, which saved him the trouble of warming the place up himself since he was renting it out.
When they saw Teacher Hao out, Lin Xia expressed her gratitude to him.
"Thank you so much, Teacher Hao! Without your help, we couldn't have found a suitable house so easily!"
If it were just her and Xiaoqiu looking, they could never have found it given its remote location.
Besides, from the outside with the gates tightly locked, how could they know that this house was available for rent?
