How it works
让你X你就X tells someone to simply do what they're told without arguing — "just X when you're told to". The causative 让/叫 sets the instruction and 你就X repeats the verb as the expected compliance.
Examples
让你去你就去，别问那么多。
Ràng nǐ qù nǐ jiù qù, bié wèn nàme duō.
Just go when you're told, don't ask so many questions.

Jiào nǐ děng nǐ jiù děng yíhuìr.
When you're told to wait, just wait a while.
让你尝你就尝一口，很好吃的。
Ràng nǐ cháng nǐ jiù cháng yì kǒu, hěn hǎochī de.
Just take a taste since you're asked to — it's delicious.
