When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1220

She's not some rich landlord; this young man's manner, as if he's going to wash her face himself, is really unnecessary.

The old woman laughed and said, "He'd even bring you water to wash your feet. If he doesn't get a job at the factory soon, he'll have to go to the countryside."

Tan You felt a pang of sadness; going to the countryside in this era was too hard. She didn't say anything more, and washed her face with the water the young man brought her: "Has the factory started recruiting?"

"That's right! It started the day before yesterday." The old lady stuffed chopsticks into Tan You's hand: "My grandson was in the first batch of recruits. Now the factory is expanding, and it seems they need to buy more machines. I heard they're very busy."

Tan You smiled and said, "That's good. I'm really hungry. Auntie, tell me what's been happening lately."

“Then let me tell you something,” the old woman sat down next to Tan You. “You and Wen Ting had just left when Guo Jiantao came back with Guo Wenshan. When they saw that your door was locked, the two of them slunk away again.”

Tan You paused with her chopsticks: "What are they doing back here? Can't they stay at Lao Guo's house anymore?"

"Most likely," the old woman slapped her thigh. "I have a nephew who works at the machinery factory. I heard that the Guo family is very lively now. The house that Da Guo was allocated is only so big, and there were already six people living in it."

"If Da Guo moves in with Wen Shan, there will be nowhere for them to sleep. I heard that the two of them sleep in the living room when they go back. It seems that Da Guo's mother wants to find him a wife, but she wants someone with a job, a house, and no children."

Tan You scoffed, "Why doesn't she just fly to the moon? Anyone who follows Guo Jiantao will suffer; they'll never have a peaceful day."

"He looks honest and kind, but he's actually useless. He puts all his heart into his parents. He seems to be good to his children, but he's not good to his wife at all. He expects his wife to work like a slave for the Guo family."

"Since the divorce, I've found life to be exceptionally comfortable, more comfortable than I've ever been before, even happier than before I got married."

The old woman smiled and said, "I reckon Da Guo is looking for you to bring up remarriage."

“That’s impossible,” Tan You refused flatly. “I’m busy, how can I have time to care about them?”

"Yes, you really shouldn't be spending your time on them."

"Xiaofeng has been coming over whenever he has free time these past few days, just to find out about you."

Tan You had almost forgotten about Zhang Yifeng, but upon hearing this, she remembered: "His dad should be out by now, right?"

"He's out, it's so pitiful," the old woman sighed. "His father came with Xiaofeng the day before yesterday, poor thing, he used to be such a capable person. After squatting in this fence for a year, he looks like a completely different person."

Tan You understood; prisons at this time were nothing like those of later generations, filled with blood and tears.

How's his dad's job?

"His dad is still working at the machine factory, and the house... sigh, the factory rented them a single room. Poor Xiaofeng's sister, Yiduo, sigh, poor child."

Tan You couldn't eat anymore. She pushed her bowl aside and said, "Xiao Feng is 14 this year. He's too young to work in a factory. It's ridiculous to let him wander around like this..."

“He’s following that policeman Hu now,” the old woman said enviously. “He looks quite respectable.”

Tan You was taken aback: "Officer Hu?"

Is it that Captain Hu she knows? Did she walk right into a trap? Did she learn from the policeman who caught her in her past life? This sounds so strange.
"Aunt Qiao Mai? Is Aunt Qiao Mai home?" Just as Tan You and her aunt were talking about Xiao Feng, a rough voice rang out from outside.

Unlike his previous gloom and cautiousness, Zhang Yifeng is now becoming more and more cheerful, and he shouts at the top of his lungs as soon as he enters the family compound.

He carried the candy and snacks and went into the stairwell first; "Aunt Qiao lives on the third floor, I'll take Yiduo up first, Dad, take your time." Zhang Dacheng followed behind, panting. Even though he was back, he had suffered a lot during his year of confinement. He was now as thin as a stick and would be out of breath after walking just a few steps.

Tan You was about to get up to open the door when the boy, who had disappeared inside, suddenly rushed over and opened it. He immediately stared at Zhang Yifeng outside, his eyes widening in surprise. Zhang Yifeng's eyes slowly widened: "Where's my Aunt Qiao?"

He was like a dog marking its territory, extremely wary of any outsiders who broke into Tan You's house.

Seeing his expression, Tan You couldn't help but chuckle: "Xiao Feng's here? Come in and sit down. This is your Grandma Wang's grandson, his name is..."

She looked at the boy, who smiled and said, "Auntie, my name is Liu Jianyuan."

Zhang Yifeng led Zhang Yiduo around Liu Jianyuan: "Auntie, my dad is here too. He's not feeling well and is lagging behind."

Tan You raised her hand and ruffled his hair: "I heard from your aunt that you've been following Officer Hu lately? Haven't you thought about going back to school? You're still too young."

“I’ve resumed classes at school. I usually go with my master after school.” Zhang Yifeng smiled very obediently. Liu Jianyuan curled his lips. This little brat has two faces. He was just baring his teeth at him.

"Study hard," Tan You hugged Zhang Yiduo, "Are you happy now, Yiduo?"

"I'm so happy," Zhang Yiduo nestled obediently in Tan You's arms. "Auntie, where's Wenting?"

Tan You chuckled: "Wen Ting is at Grandma Wang's house. Go find her, you know where she is, right?"

“I know,” Zhang Yiduo jumped off Tan You’s lap. “Brother, I’m going to find Sister Wenting.”

The little girl ran out and ran into Zhang Dacheng. Zhang Yiduo jumped up and down, saying, "Dad, I'm here! Aunt Qiao lives here!"

Zhang Yifeng stood up: "I'm going to pick up my dad. His eyesight is bad now, and he can't see at all at night."

Tan You: "If possible, buy more carrots and pork liver."

Zhang Yifeng kept these words in mind and wondered where he could buy pig liver.

Zhang Dacheng shrank back slightly upon seeing the strangers as he entered. Tan You poured him a glass of water: "Have some tea first. You're here, so what did you bring? You're not exactly well-off."

"Yes, we need to bring them," Zhang Dacheng hesitated for a moment, but still said the rest: "You've helped us a lot. If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to Xiaofeng and Yiduo, and I don't know if I would have been able to get out..."

Tan You made a quick decision: "Auntie, I won't keep you here. I'll talk to them."

Aunt Wang was very perceptive; even though she desperately wanted to hear the inside story of Zhang Dacheng's release, since Tan You wouldn't let her hear it, she simply went back. Anyway, she felt Qiao Mai was a capable person; she must have quietly accomplished many great things.

After telling Liu Jianyuan to pack up the lunchbox, Aunt Wang and Liu Jianyuan went back to the next room.

The room fell silent instantly, and Zhang Dacheng bent his knees, about to kneel down. Tan You grabbed his arm and said, "It's not appropriate for you to kneel here. We don't follow that old custom anymore."

Zhang Dacheng wiped away his tears: "Auntie, I really don't know how to thank you. If it weren't for you, my family would be gone!"

"His wife is gone..."
