A powerful country in scientific research

Since her husband's death, Li Xiangxiang felt like she was floating on the vast ocean. She finally found a piece of driftwood and of course she had to hold on to it.

She displayed her charm in front of Su Jianguo everywhere, pretending to be a "flower of eloquence", and soon became Su Jianguo's "confidant" with whom he could talk about anything.

She also knew that men like women who make people want to protect them, so she always deliberately showed her weak side in front of Su Jianguo.

Just like today.

Li Xiangxiang knew yesterday that her husband's family was coming to cause trouble today. As for why they were coming, it was of course because her brother-in-law was getting married. The new daughter-in-law came from an average family and had no job, so the purpose of their coming this time was naturally her job.

She had already paid money to bribe their next-door neighbor, Aunt Wang, to tell her immediately if anything happened.

After she learned about this, the first person she thought of was Su Jianguo. This was a great opportunity to show that her life was miserable and she needed help.

So when she was getting her lunch at noon, she acted very sad on purpose. Yes, in order to increase her chances of getting in front of Su Jianguo, she gave gifts to her leader and had herself moved to the front to get her lunch.

Su Jianguo naturally noticed it. After finishing his meal, he did not leave in a hurry. He sat in the cafeteria for several minutes until all the people who had come to get their meals came out to eat.

Li Xiangxiang came out with her lunch box and, not surprisingly, saw Su Jianguo. There were quite a few people in the cafeteria and not many empty places. There was a seat right next to Su Jianguo, so Li Xiangxiang walked over with her lunch box and sat next to Su Jianguo.

There were many people in the cafeteria, so it didn't attract much attention.

Li Xiangxiang smiled faintly and said, "Director Su, why are you still in the cafeteria? Why don't you go back to the office to rest?"

Seeing that she was still very pale, Su Jianguo asked with concern: "Comrade Li, I see that you don't look well. Are you feeling unwell?"

Li Xiangxiang pretended to be reluctant and said, "No, I'm in good health."

Su Jianguo was not happy to see her being stubborn, "What's the matter? If you have any problems, you can tell me. You don't have to handle it by yourself."

Li Xiangxiang was very happy with Su Jianguo's performance, but she didn't say anything and continued to eat with her head down.

Su Jianguo was a little anxious, "Xiangxiang, what happened to you? If you don't tell me, I will be angry."

Seeing that the argument was almost over, Li Xiangxiang said, "My in-laws' neighbor Aunt Wang came to me yesterday and said that my in-laws were going to come to my house to make trouble and asked me to give my job to my brother's wife."

She looked so sad, and Su Jianguo felt so distressed.

Su Jianguo: "Don't pay attention to them, let them make a fuss, at most they will just say a few words. In broad daylight, they dare not do anything too excessive."

Li Xiangxiang: "But Xiaofeng is still at home. What if they scare the child? I feel sorry for Xiaofeng. He has such a weak and incompetent mother who can only let him be bullied." She started crying as she spoke, but she didn't want to cry too much because there were so many people in the cafeteria and she didn't want to be discovered.

Su Jianguo was also a little anxious. "When are you coming? I'll go with you to take a look."

Li Xiangxiang stopped crying after she got the result she wanted. After all, crying all the time was tiring.

She forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry to bother you, Brother Su."

Su Jianguo: "You already call me big brother, why are you still being polite to me?"

Li Xiangxiang no longer refused, "They should be here at three or four o'clock, and I'll just be getting off work." She worked in the cafeteria, which was divided into morning and evening shifts. In fact, one shift was responsible for breakfast and lunch, and the other was responsible for lunch and dinner.

Su Jianguo nodded and said, "Wait for me at the nearby intersection. I'll come find you and we'll go back together."

In the afternoon, Su Jianguo asked for leave because of something at home, and then left the factory.

When he came out, Li Xiangxiang was already waiting for him at the intersection.

The two of them talked as they walked towards the house that Li Xiangxiang rented.

Sure enough, Li Xiangxiang saw her ex-mother-in-law Zhang Pozi and her uncle Zhang Guoqiang at the gate of the courtyard where they lived.

Li Xiangxiang asked Su Jianguo to hide aside first. "Brother Su, it will not be good if you go with me now. I will go by myself first. If they want to do something excessive, you go over and reveal your identity to scare them."

Su Jianguo nodded, this was a good idea.

Li Xiangxiang walked to the door and asked softly, "Mom, uncle, why are you here?"

Mrs. Zhang saw the enchanting woman in front of her and snorted, "What do you think we are doing here? We've been knocking on the door for so long, but no one opened it. Isn't Xiaofeng home?"

Zhang Guoqiang: "Sister-in-law, you're back."

Mrs. Zhang was very unhappy when she heard what her youngest son said. This silly boy was seduced by a vixen again!

Mrs. Zhang: "Open the door quickly. We want to go in. We are so thirsty all the way here."

Li Xiangxiang: "Mom, Xiaofeng is doing his homework inside, let's talk outside if you have anything to say."

Mrs. Zhang glared at her, "Why do you say that outside?"

Li Xiangxiang didn't say anything, but looked at her mother-in-law and uncle with a wronged look on her face.

Feeling her gaze, Zhang Guoqiang's face turned a little hot. After not seeing his sister-in-law for so long, she was still so beautiful.

Zhang Guoqiang was afraid that his mother had gone too far, so he quickly advised her, "Mom, it's the same if you say it outside."

Mrs. Zhang glanced at her youngest son with displeasure, saying that he was so weak when seeing a woman, what a loser!

Mrs. Zhang: "Let me tell you right here. What's wrong with you as a sister-in-law? You didn't even go back when Qiangzi got married. You really have no family affection at all." After saying that, she clicked her tongue twice.

She didn't give Li Xiangxiang a chance to explain, and continued, "But our family is generous and won't make a fuss about it. When we got married, our family promised to find a job for Qiangzi's wife. If you give her the job, Qiangzi and his wife will remember your kindness."

Li Xiangxiang sneered in her heart, thinking that she was a soft persimmon. She wanted to confront Mrs. Zhang directly, but Su Jianguo was still watching her, and she had to maintain her image as a little white flower.

She bit her lip, looking pitiful, "Mom, you can't be like this. This job is my only support. How can I support Xiaofeng without a job? Xiaofeng is also your grandson."

Mrs. Zhang: "You give the job to Qiangzi's wife, and I will support Xiaofeng."

Li Xiangxiang clenched her fists hidden in her sleeves. What was this old woman dreaming about? She would never give her son to her.

The next second, Li Xiangxiang's face was covered with tears, "Mom, I have already lost Guowei, I can't lose Xiaofeng again, please be kind and don't take Xiaofeng away from me."

The sad voice moved everyone who heard it, including Su Jianguo who was not far away.

Seeing that Li Xiangxiang was crying harder and harder, Su Jianguo no longer hid and just walked out.
