When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1083 Shengnan 15
In the past two years, Jiang Shengli has felt that he has less freedom than the prisoners in jail. He can't smoke, can't drink, can't gamble, can't skip work, and can't spend money recklessly.

If he spends more than fifty dollars, he's in for a headache.

He couldn't be disrespectful to the elderly couple, nor could he spend their money... As the days went by, Jiang Shengli's reputation among those around him actually improved, which was quite ironic.

As for Tan You, the taboo figure in the entire family, she can't even be mentioned now.

Everyone knew she wasn't Jiang Shengnan, but they couldn't bring themselves to say it, and they had no evidence to prove Tan You wasn't Jiang Shengnan. Besides, Tan You's ruthless methods last time had genuinely frightened them, so how could they dare mention Tan You in normal times?
That's something I wouldn't even dare to think about.

Wang Sumei couldn't rely on her sister-in-law, but at least her husband was bringing money home, so she managed to get by. However, thinking back to the extra 6000 yuan her sister-in-law used to earn each month, Wang Sumei couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

But what can you do if you feel sorry for them?
Wang Sumei stirred the soup pot, then glanced at her son beside her. In the past two years, the child had gradually become more obedient, not as mischievous as before. Perhaps this was the only consolation in the past two years.

"Ding-dong," hearing a knock at the door, Wang Sumei nudged Tongtong: "Go see who's knocking on the door during the New Year?"

Tongtong ran to open the door; he's 10 years old this year. Even though he was young back then, the psychological trauma Tan You inflicted on him back then won't fade with time; on the contrary, it will become even clearer.

Tan You looked down at Tongtong inside the door and gave him a gentle smile: "Are your grandparents home?"

She thought her smile was quite gentle, but she didn't expect the boy in front of her to suddenly open his mouth and let out a wail. Tan You frowned: "Hmm?"

"Hiccup..." Seeing her frown, Tongtong became even more nervous, and in her nervousness, she hiccuped, but couldn't say a word.

Hearing her son's wailing, Wang Sumei grabbed a spatula and rushed out of the kitchen. Her previously fierce expression quickly turned into fear and cowering when she saw Tan You standing outside the door: "Little sister, you...you're back?"

Tan You walked past her: "Are your in-laws home?"

Wang Sumei hurriedly followed: "Yes, yes! They're watching TV in their room."

Tan You walked into the living room. Jiang Shengli, who was playing games on the sofa, immediately jumped up when he saw Tan You and quickly brought her a glass of water.

Tan You sat down in the seat Jiang Shengli had just occupied, then looked at the family of three standing in front of her like meerkats, and nodded her chin: "What are you all standing for? Sit down."

Jiang Shengli plopped down on the ground, and Tan You's eye twitched: "You're getting more and more of a coward."

Jiang Shengli didn't dare to say a word. He hurriedly got up, dragged another stool, and sat down opposite Tan You. Wang Sumei went around to the kitchen, turned off the gas stove, and sat down next to Jiang Shengli.

Hearing the commotion, the elderly Jiang couple also came out of their room. Tan You glanced at them sideways and said, "You're out? Judging from your appearance, you seem to have been doing quite well these past two years."

Jiang's mother felt her legs go weak at the sight of Tan You. In her mind, Tan You was a demon in her daughter's body. But she was helpless against this demon and could only submit to her fate.

Jiang's father was more composed. He gripped his cane tightly and said, "You haven't been back for two years. What brings you here today? We've already given you the house and the family savings. We don't owe you anything now."

Tan You crossed her legs: "I just came to see you. You've been unkind to me, but I still have an obligation to support you. If I ignore you, people will say I'm immature." As she spoke, she glanced at Jiang Shengli, who immediately stood up: "I'll take good care of Mom and Dad."

Tan You scoffed: "You? You struggle to raise your son, let alone support yourself in old age? If I hadn't been keeping an eye on you these past two years, would you have been able to go to work properly? Would you have been able to earn enough to buy a house in the school district near your son's school?"

Jiang Shengli was dumbfounded. He didn't expect Tan You to know even this. She was not in N City, but she knew this place like the back of her hand.

Tan You glanced at the elderly couple sitting next to her: "You two have a combined monthly pension of 4000 yuan. Old Jiang is in poor health, and half of that goes to medical treatment and medicine every month. The remaining 2000 yuan is for their own food, and they also have to buy things for your son from time to time. It's natural that they live a tight life."

Jiang's mother's eyes reddened. After her daughter could no longer be relied upon, she could only rely on her son. But her son struggled to support the family, and she and her husband truly had a hard time making ends meet each month.

Tan You snapped her fingers: "Stop it, don't cry in front of me, your tears have no effect on me."

Jiang's mother paused, wiping away her tears. Sure enough, it was still that same person. When would her daughter finally return? If she didn't come back soon, she couldn't live like this anymore.

Tan You understood what Jiang's mother meant, but she didn't care at all: "I'm settled in S City now, and I basically won't be coming back to N City in the future."

She was too lazy to argue with them and said bluntly, "I'll give you two choices."

Upon hearing those familiar words, Jiang Shengli's calves trembled involuntarily. Last time, Tan You gave him two choices, and he ended up being beaten half to death.

What is she going to say this time?
Tan You didn't even look at Jiang Shengli, but only looked at the haggard old couple opposite her: "My first choice is to send you two to a sanatorium. I will take full responsibility for the cost of the sanatorium, so you won't have to spend a penny."

"If you wish, you can stay in the nursing home until you pass away."

Jiang's father paused, his hand gripping the cane. "What's the second option?"

"The second one is simple. I'll give you 4000 a month, and you'll still live here. But whether that 4000 will actually benefit you is another matter."

Tan You chuckled softly, glancing at Wang Sumei, whose eyes were darting around uncertainly. This sister-in-law of the original owner was quite the schemer; what would she do?
The living room fell silent for a moment, everyone lost in their own thoughts.

Wang Sumei couldn't help but interject, "Well, Dad's health isn't good. Going to a nursing home isn't as comfortable as being at home. I usually take care of the kids, or maybe I should take care of my parents?"

She practically told me outright that she would give her the 4000 yuan.

Tan You glanced at Jiang Shengli: "Is this also your idea?"

Jiang Shengli felt guilty, but he understood one thing: he couldn't get his hands on Tan You's money. Since that was the case, he might as well take the initiative and suggest, "I think we should put Mom and Dad in a nursing home."

“The sanatorium is great, isn’t it? There are doctors and nurses there. Tongtong is older now, so we just pick him up and drop him off in the morning and evening. Your sister-in-law isn’t suited to stay at home all the time; she should go out and find a job.”

Wang Sumei was shocked that Jiang Shengli would contradict her so openly, and stared at him in disbelief. Jiang Shengli glared at her, as if to say, "Do you think you can just take anyone's money?"
