When I got home, I started cooking as usual and went to pick up the kids when it was time.
I told the children that Dad had been promoted.
Both of them were very happy and kept asking if we would have chicken legs for dinner.
When the three of us returned home, I began to set the table. Li Kai saw the kids were back and came over to help.
He looked at the sumptuous dinner and joked that we three should eat a lot, but he also reminded us that he had to work overtime tonight and would just grab a chicken leg before leaving.
Overtime?
I smiled faintly, but I knew very well that he was going out on a date with his girlfriend, Wang Mei.
I gave the kids a glance, and as Li Kai was putting on his shoes to leave, one of them gave him a kiss.
Li Kai was surprised by how much the kids liked him; he shyly rubbed his nose and said he would come home early.
My eldest son said he wanted Dad to tell him the story of his promotion before bed because he and his younger brother were very interested in hearing it.
The youngest insisted that Dad give him a good kiss before he could leave.
Being so adored by my sons, Li Kai was certainly pleased. He immediately promised to tell them the most interesting stories when he got home tonight.
After Li Kai left, I took on the responsibility of looking after the kids. They were very obedient and soon went off to do their homework.
I washed the dishes, tidied up the table, and returned to the room.
Li Kai's salary wasn't high, and I didn't have a steady job, so we hadn't saved much money over the years.
However, little by little, I saved the money I set aside each month for groceries. In just four years, I managed to save 40,000 yuan.
This is all my savings.
If I were to remarry, bringing two children with me, this money would really be just a drop in the bucket.
I need a higher-paying part-time job that won't interfere with taking care of the kids and can steadily improve my quality of life in the future.
My close friend knows about my situation and asked me what I am best at.
I used to be a recruiter for a company; administrative positions are usually one person per role. After being away for so many years, opportunities are truly precious for me now.
My friend introduced me to a part-time job as a Headhunter. She told me that this year has been particularly tough, but the income in this industry is high.
As long as I am willing to settle down and work hard, the returns can be very rewarding. Moreover, this company's owner allows Headhunters to keep ninety percent of their earnings, only taking ten percent for themselves.
I had only heard of the Headhunter industry before. I repeatedly asked if the owner was reliable, and my friend assured me that I could trust her introduction.
While the kids were doing their homework, I began trying my hand at being a Headhunter, recalling bits of my previous recruiting experience, organizing my thoughts, and continuing...
Li Kai indeed came home early that evening, arriving by eight-thirty. He brought home some popular meat buns and picked up our youngest child. "Did you miss Daddy? Look what Daddy brought you! Have you finished your homework? Let Daddy check it."
Our little son giggled at his antics, clearly delighted.
In the eyes of the children, Li Kai is a good father.
No matter how far they fall behind in their exams, he always treats them kindly and patiently.
I packed away my Headhunter materials and followed Li Kai and the kids into his room.
It was the first time in so many years that I took the initiative to enter his room.
Li Kai looked at me with bright eyes, with the two children nestled in his arms.
The three of them lay on the small bed while I sat on the sofa opposite. This was the beginning of Li Kai's promotion story.
I stepped out of the room and brought them juice; the kids loved it, and Li Kai enjoyed it as well.
I quietly sat there, watching the harmonious scene of the father and his two children, feeling a sense of tranquil time.
At that moment, Li Kai's phone vibrated.
It was that girl again. Li Kai's expression became somewhat awkward, but he cleverly masked it.
I took the hint and hugged the two children back to their room to rest while Li Kai walked toward the balcony with his phone.
After the kids fell asleep, I took out the Headhunter materials and began my new career.
Soon, I had several good resumes.
I walked out of the room to get some water from the kitchen and ran into Li Kai.
I thought he had gone out for that girl, Wang Mei, but he was still at home.
Li Kai became cheerful again and handed me this month's living expenses for myself and the children.
This time it was even more than last month.
Li Kai set down the money and returned to his room. I looked at the heavy money in my hands, feeling a mix of emotions.
The next day at lunchtime, Li Kai brought that girl, Wang Mei, back home.
We three sat at a dining table.
I lowered my head to eat, and Li Kai didn't say much; it was clear that the girl had a lot to say.
[Aunt, I already know about your situation with Brother Li. Since you were invited by Brother Li, it won't be a problem for me to come over for lunch every day and add an extra set of chopsticks, right, Brother Li?]
Li Kai's expression remained unchanged, but my face turned pale with embarrassment. Did Li Kai really see me as a nanny?
Was I supposed to serve this young girl?
Li Kai, you really are something!
The girl exchanged glances with Li Kai, and just as he was about to speak, I interrupted him. [You can serve yourself!]
I took my bowl and chopsticks, washed my portion, and returned to my room.
I knew this was just the beginning.
I bitterly looked at my meager savings of forty thousand and steeled myself.
After Wang Mei left, we argued for the first time due to our discord.
[Li Kai, if you want to flirt with that little vixen in front of me, then go ahead. I'll sell you my share of the property at market price, and I'll make room for you while taking the two kids with me.]
