When the female supporting role has a beauty system

Chapter 1308 Returning Home in Glory 2
Wang Jiajing chuckled, "You're still a child yourself, why would you need to give me a red envelope? Your sister Jing and I both get paid, so take the red envelope back."

Tan You smiled, but her tone left no room for Wang Jiajing to refuse: "What's given away can't be taken back, right? Brother Jiajing, we're the closest of all the siblings. Your child will definitely be special to me."

Wang Jiajing felt a warmth in his heart from Tan You's words. He gave Liu Jing a wink and said, "Then let Qiangqiang accept it. Qiangqiang, you must remember, you must not tell anyone."

Wang Liyuan, also known as Qiangqiang, decisively stuffed the red envelope into Liu Jing's hand: "Mom, please keep it safe for me. Dad, I won't tell anyone."

Liu Jing smiled and accepted the red envelope. When she felt the thickness of the envelope, she was taken aback. After glancing at Wang Jiajing, she still accepted the envelope.

Tan You watched this scene and simply smiled faintly.

"Why did you bring back so much food?" Wang Jiajing went back and forth twice before finally putting all the ingredients into the kitchen. "Aren't we going to have enough to eat at home? Why did you buy so much stuff?"

"You're a high school student, shouldn't you be in school today?"

Tan You said with a smile, "I recently made a little money."

Tan Yue couldn't help but boast about Tan You's grades: "The school gave my sister two days off so she could rest at home."

"My sister just came back from the capital the day before yesterday. She went there to take an exam and won a national first prize!"

"The school and the education bureau jointly awarded 110,000 yuan..."

Tan Yue has exceptional communication skills and speaks very logically. She explained Tan You's participation in the competition in great detail. Wang Jiajing, Liu Jing, Qiangqiang, and the usually silent second uncle were all captivated.

Tan Deming sat to the side smoking, listening to his youngest granddaughter boast about her eldest granddaughter. Of course, it wasn't just boasting; it was all true.

Wang Jiajing exclaimed in surprise, "Can studying really make money?"

Tan Deming chuckled: "It's not really easy at all. She studies until midnight every night, but the award she won is truly extraordinary. I heard from her school teacher that our province only produced one first-prize winner, Tan You."

"An entire province?" Wang Jiajing and Liu Jing exchanged a glance. "That's quite an achievement. You're number one in the whole province for pomelos?"

“Isn’t that right?” Tan Deming was more talkative at his second brother-in-law’s house. “Otherwise, where would so many scholarships come from? She doesn’t have to pay for her schooling now. The school waived her tuition and she gets a monthly stipend, but she didn’t accept it and gave it to people from even poorer families.”

Second Uncle puffed on his cigarette and glanced at Tan Deming: "You're doing great, you look much better than before."

Tan Deming then began to boast: "I can't count on my son anymore. My daughter and I are now living with Tan You. She took my daughter and me to the hospital for check-ups and to see a traditional Chinese medicine doctor."

"She writes articles and submits them herself, which is enough for us to make a living."

The second uncle glanced at Tan Yue, who was talking to Liu Jing, and asked, "Then this little one..."

“Let Tan Lin support the younger one,” Tan Deming said, taking a sip of tea. “Wen Hui works at a garment factory now, so Tan Lin takes care of the family. Tan You has to go to school and can’t take care of the family, so she gives Tan Lin money every month so he can come back and visit more often.”

"She pays her dad a salary, so it's like her dad works from home."

"It's not easy, she's still so young." The second uncle glanced at Tan You, who was demonstrating with Wang Jiajing how to cook the half-pig. No one would have imagined that such a little girl would be so capable now. Tan Deming beamed, "We're poor, so she's matured early. I used to worry about how she would support herself when she grew up, given her poor eyesight. Now I can finally rest assured."

Putting everything else aside, in Tan Deming's view, with Tan You's current financial situation, he had no reason to worry about her. Thinking of the numbers in her bank account, Tan Deming's smile widened.

He had a good relationship with his second brother-in-law, but he couldn't get along with his eldest and third brothers, even with a kind person like Tan Deming.

Wang Jiajing was almost overwhelmed. On his left was Tan Yue talking and talking, on his right was Tan Deming talking and talking, and next to him was Tan You discussing the lunch menu with him.

"I ordered a pig for my second aunt, and it will be delivered to her house this afternoon." Tan You wiped her hands, and seeing that Wang Jiajing was about to refuse, Tan You revealed her intention: "My second aunt makes delicious sausages, so please have her make forty catties for me, and the rest can be my New Year's gift to her."

Wang Jiajing tapped Tan You on the head, unable to suppress his laughter: "It's still early before the New Year. Making sausages at this time won't keep them. A pig would weigh over a hundred jin, wouldn't it?"

"Then consider it as me making up for what happened before." Tan You shrugged: "I used to see you guys a few times a year, but since you got married and I started junior high, I haven't come back."

Wang Jiajing also sighed with emotion: "You're right? I knew you were good at studying before, but I didn't expect you to be this amazing now."

Tan You smiled, unwilling to discuss the competition further. After all, Tan Yue and Tan Deming had already said enough. To say more would seem like showing off.

Wang Hunu finally finished her private conversation with Ding Yueqin, and the two went to the kitchen. Hearing that Tan You liked her sausages, the second aunt immediately patted her chest and promised to make more this year.

She was unaware that Tan You had ordered a pig for her.

Just as things were getting lively, the families of the eldest and third maternal uncles finally arrived, mostly elders. Tan You picked up Qiangqiang and said, "Sister Jing, Tan Yue and I will take Qiangqiang to play. This isn't our business."

Liu Jing naturally wouldn't stop Tan You; she was actually hoping her son would spend more time with Tan You. Perhaps spending more time with Tan You would make her son Qiangqiang a little smarter?
With the younger children not around, the old men spoke even less restrained. Wang Jiajing and Liu Jing also returned to their room, while Ding Yueqin and her two other aunts occupied the kitchen.

Liu Jing opened the red envelope and counted the money; it was a full five thousand yuan.

Liu Jing hesitated for a moment: "That's too much."

Wang Jiajing thought for a moment and said, "Let's keep what Youzi gave us, but don't let Qiangqiang know how much it is. We'll save this money for Qiangqiang; it's his aunt's thoughtful gift, and no one else has it, it's unique to him."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jing put the red envelope back into her bag: "Okay, I'll tell Qiangqiang later, but don't let it slip in front of the kids."

Wang Jiajing said smugly, "Qiangqiang is just like me, he's very tight-lipped."

If he doesn't want to talk, no one can get it out of him. Liu Jing naturally liked this about Wang Jiajing; although he was a bit taciturn, he was of good character and a good choice for a life partner.

"The last time I saw her, she was only in the first year of junior high school. I never imagined that after just a few years, she would be making a lot of money on her own." Liu Jing exclaimed, "How is she so good at studying?"

“Let her be like her mother,” Wang Jiajing thought of Cheng Wenhui: “Her mother used to be a teacher. Look at our family, how many people are good at studying?”
