Chapter 1386: Chapter 997: Full-time Mother’s Counterattack 5 (Three Thousand)_2
Honestly, she was surprised by this income, she didn’t expect that when she put in all her effort, it wasn’t as bad as she imagined.
At this time, it indirectly proved one thing: as long as you dare to fight and venture, you have the opportunity to succeed.
In August, she received a few calls for help from programmers again, whenever they needed her help, if she had time, she would definitely go.
After becoming familiar, they discovered her extraordinary ability and recommended her to their companies one after another. She also received several calls from HR departments, but she refused. Firstly, because the work hours of programmers are too inflexible, she didn’t want her son’s life to lack care. Secondly, she felt that working on such projects was pretty good too.
Because she couldn’t work full-time, they gave her a part-time job. Whenever the other party had a need, they would call her, and agree on how much money she could earn for completing the program. She would quote a price based on the difficulty of the work, if the other party could accept, she would do it, if not, she would let it go.
Because she had some free time and space to cheat, her completion speed could accelerate, so these people almost never negotiated on price, even when she needed to borrow their computers, they agreed without a second thought. Of course, the computers given to her didn’t contain any business secrets, otherwise, no matter how strict the security net was, she could break through it.
Ever since she got this part-time job, she couldn’t say that she had no time delivering takeaways, only that it was much less, relatively, her son’s life also received her care, because when she returned home, she would first accompany her son, and after coaxing him to sleep, she would work in the space.
Every time she submitted a perfect assignment and received her well-earned reward, almost everyone would ask her the same question.
"With your incredible skills, how did you end up in a situation where you can’t even afford a computer?"
Her answer was only four words: "Family misfortune."
The salary in August jumped from 7,500 to 15,000 yuan, including a nanny salary of 8,000, video live stream/traffic earnings of 1,200 yuan, takeaway earnings of 800 yuan, and programmer part-time income of five thousand yuan. Of course, these amounts are all before tax. Since the salary of eight thousand is not company-to-individual but individual-to-individual, there was no tax paid, and other earnings didn’t reach the tax line. Lastly, this extra programmer money was transferred via WeChat by the other party, also lacking the qualifications for tax payment, she wondered if this counted as reasonable tax avoidance?
The August salary was issued in early September. Over two months, she earned 23,500 yuan, starting with a 700 yuan WeChat balance, totaling 24,200 yuan. After deducting the 500 yuan for the after-school class fee for her son, 3,000 yuan for two months of living expenses, including utilities, gas, and air conditioning fees, and 700 yuan for buying new clothes, mobile phones, and other miscellaneous expenses for mother and son, she eventually saved twenty thousand yuan.
This money was hard-earned, from her early risings and late retirements, also accumulated over several lifetimes. If she couldn’t cook, couldn’t handle affairs, couldn’t write programs, and didn’t have basic computer skills, her video editing wouldn’t meet the trending standard, her fan base wouldn’t grow to forty or fifty thousand. In short, everything was the fruit of effort. Without the accumulation from multiple lifetimes, how could she pass on such skills?
In early September, the child fell ill. During summer vacation, even if a child got sick, enduring it would usually suffice. But in the first week of September, after school started, Wen Han caught a fever. Qi Qi checked and felt very guilty because it was caused by overeating. At school for a day, what he ate might not be to his liking, and when she arrived home and saw Mom, she changed into a comfortable environment, and she might accidentally eat too much, that’s how overeating is generated.
She didn’t give him medicine but used pediatric massage for physical adjustment. Fortunately, the temperature didn’t keep increasing. 38 degrees was the highest, and his mental state was not bad. In this case, she didn’t need to worry, she could slowly cool him down physically.
Although she wasn’t a pediatrician, many pathologies and causes were interconnected. For this reason, the son had been with her for two months, went to school for two months, and only then got sick for the first time, largely because of her meticulous care. Unless it was a special situation, she tried not to let him eat outside, except for milk, there were no other snacks, meals were punctual, even if there was a night snack, it was easy to digest.
If always at home, without going out to deliver takeaways, she wouldn’t make him night snacks. But if following her outside and coming back home, she would let him eat a bit more, move around, then go to sleep, after all, following her ups and downs was not easy.
For these two months, her ex-husband hadn’t contacted her. The court ruled the child support was due by the end of September. If he didn’t pay, she would find a way to make him famous.
In mid-September, she bought a laptop, a high-end machine, costing eight thousand yuan, mainly to make work more convenient. After all, apart from programming, she also needed to edit videos in her daily work. Naturally, she had to buy it, leaving a balance of Twelve Thousand.
By the end of September, she exchanged her son’s kindergarten for a relatively better environment, with a monthly daycare fee of 1,500. She paid nearly six thousand yuan for one semester in a lump sum, which would be adjusted for absenteeism at the end of the term.
The rent for September was also paid at three thousand yuan, next payment would be at the end of the year.
September living expenses were one thousand five, with 500 used for purchasing daily supplies, leaving a final balance of one thousand yuan.
Before National Day, the September salary of eight thousand, six thousand from part-time work arrived, with the remaining delivery earnings of five hundred and video income of five hundred arriving after National Day.
"We are going out to play during the National Day holiday, giving you a seven-day paid vacation. You should take the child out too. When we’re back, we’ll contact you. Here is the house key. If you have time, come over to change the water for the fish tank, water the vegetables in the garden...."
