When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1222

“You used to be so lucky. You could come home to a meal and someone would wash your clothes. Everyone was short of housing, but you had your own little room and someone would give you pocket money from time to time.”

"Now, you and your dad are living in the living room at your grandparents' house. Eating is a problem, and you have to wash your own clothes. Your dad's money is all with your grandparents. This life is completely different from before."

Tan You mercilessly exposed the hypocrisy of the father and son: "You are not truly remorseful, nor do you feel indebted to me. You just don't want to live like this anymore."

"That's it. You can go back now. Don't come back again."

Guo Jiantao was, after all, a grown man. If only Tan You and Guo Wenting were there, he probably wouldn't have felt so awkward. But now that Zhang Dacheng and his two daughters were sitting to the side, he felt like his family's dirty laundry had been exposed to everyone.

"You refuse to remarry me, is it because of him? Don't forget, he just got out of jail! His reputation is already ruined!"

Zhang Yifeng jumped up immediately, about to fire his gun, when Tan You grabbed him and said, "You only graduated from junior high school, are your eyes just for show? Zhang Dacheng was framed and imprisoned for protecting the machinery factory's property. He's innocent."

“You have insulted Zhang Dacheng to his face, and he can sue you for defamation.”

"Only incompetent people blame their failures on others. I refuse to remarry you; you should look for the reasons within yourself. What right do you have to stand in front of me and ask to remarry a man who is irresponsible towards his family, unkind to his daughter, and unloving to his wife?"

"If you don't leave, I'm going to call for help, and then you'll be even more embarrassed!"

Tan You had already said so much, Guo Jiantao had no choice but to leave. Just before he was about to go out, Tan You said coolly, "You have the courage to bring up remarriage with me, but you don't have the courage to fight for the house? That's your house, your parents really know how to play the game."

"They rent out their own house and then take over yours for their younger brother and sister-in-law to live in. They have rent money and your salary every day, and their beloved youngest son is right there with them. They're living such a comfortable life."

"Speaking of which, you are the eldest son of the Guo family, the eldest son indeed."

Tan You smiled. She had said all she needed to say, but she was really looking forward to seeing what Guo Jiantao would do.

As soon as Guo Jiantao and his son left, Zhang Yifeng sidled up to Tan You: "Auntie... thank you for speaking up for my dad just now..."

“I appreciate your thanks,” Tan You glanced at him. “Alright, take your dad and your sister back now. You and your sister can come over from now on. I’m divorced now, so I’ll have to be more careful in this regard.”

“I understand,” Zhang Yifeng nodded, then suddenly lowered his voice: “Auntie, my dad isn’t feeling well right now. Do you have any tickets on hand? I want to get some money for him.”

Tan You chuckled and glanced at Guo Wenting, who went around to her room and brought out a tin box.

Guo Wenting rummaged through the ration coupons in the tin box: "My mother works in a food factory. We don't need the sugar coupons, so we can give them to you. The meat coupons... I'll give you half a jin, and I can give you three jin of grain..."

Grandma Wang came in without any hesitation: "You're letting Wen Ting manage the household?"

Tan You rested her elbows on the small wooden table: "Children should learn to manage a household from a young age, so that they can live an organized life later on. I'm so busy, how can I have time to worry about these things?"

“Wen Ting is doing a good job managing things.”

Grandma Wang shook her head and said, "It's only because there are only two people in your family. If there were more people, we wouldn't dare let a little kid manage the household. Otherwise, we wouldn't know where our next meal is coming from, and how would everyone survive?"

Tan You patted Guo Wenting's hair: "If there's a problem, we should solve it. If you don't let her practice, she'll never do well."

Guo Wenting closed the tin box: "Is this enough?" Zhang Yifeng nodded repeatedly: "It's enough. I'll ask my master for some more so I can get my dad back to health as soon as possible. The family is counting on my dad to earn money; he can't afford to collapse."

"You're renting a place now, right?" Tan You seemed to have thought of something. Since she had already helped, she might as well go all the way.

Zhang Yifeng nodded: "Yes, our house has already been allocated to someone else."

Tan You chuckled: "That's alright. Those three culprits went to jail, didn't they? The factory could take back your house before, so there's no reason why they can't."

Zhang Yifeng understood, and so did Zhang Dacheng. After a long silence, he said, "I understand, thank you, Team Leader Qiao."

Tan You picked up her teacup: "I didn't say anything."

Zhang Dacheng nodded: "I know. I'll take the children back first. No matter what, I have to thank Team Leader Qiao."

Tan You waved her hand: "Wen Ting, let me see you off, Sister Hua."

After seeing Zhang Dacheng and his sons off, the house finally became completely quiet. Guo Wenting lay in Tan You's arms: "Mom, do I really not have a dad anymore?"

She was undoubtedly happy to see Guo Jiantao, but from the moment he entered until he left, he never saw Wen Ting, nor did he say a single word to her.

“You’ve been living a very comfortable life without your father,” Tan You said, looking at the mosquito net above her head. Her voice echoed in the room. “If he and your brother come back, you’ll have to sleep in the small bed and won’t have your own room.”

"You'll never have enough to eat three times a day, you'll go back to your grandparents and get scolded, and you won't have any pocket money. Have you ever thought about living like that?"

“I don’t want to,” Guo Wenting immediately sat up. “Then I won’t have a father. He’s not a good person anyway.”

Tan You pressed her down: "That's why our lives will be easier when he's not around. Your father represents trouble because both his parents are troublesome."

Guo Wenting nodded blankly, with only one thought in his mind: men are synonymous with trouble.

The next day, Tan You went to the food factory. When she saw that the foundation was already being laid near the factory, Tan You couldn't help but smile. Could this be considered a change she had brought about?
Factory Director Hong was supervising the work when he saw Tan You and came over with a big smile: "Team Leader Qiao, you're here! How was your rest? I heard from Xiao Wu that you slept for a whole day and night."

Seeing that Director Hong was brimming with energy, Tan You couldn't help but smile: "You're just in high spirits because of a happy occasion. I'm back to normal now. According to the schedule, how long will it take to complete the construction?"

"The factory and all the machinery will be in place within a month at most." Factory Director Hong's big yellow teeth waving in the wind: "The factory will also be recruiting workers later, and I can give you two slots."

Tan You raised an eyebrow; this reward was good. Two spots… she could work her way up to them.

Speaking of which, the original owner's nieces all live in the countryside and have been farming since graduating from junior high school. If there is an opportunity, it is still necessary to bring them to the city.

She felt more at ease having the Qiao family members in front of her.

These thoughts raced through her mind, and Tan You smiled and said, "Thank you very much. I'll head to the workshop now; I have some new ideas coming up."

"Go on, go on, Team Leader Qiao, develop more new products!" Factory Director Hong waved, hoping that Tan You would stay in the workshop and do more research and development so that the food factory could get better and better.
