Only after I was reborn did I realize that I had green plums.

Chapter 27 Mei Fang's Plan

The next morning, Mei Fang got up earlier than usual, and he was waiting for Xia Yuan at the gate of the community.

Because the home is not far away in elementary school, Xia Yuan usually goes to school without following her mother, and of course she doesn't go to class with Mei Fang every day like her childhood sweetheart in Sakura Country.

When Mei Fang saw Xia Yuan, she squinted her eyes and yawned, as if she had just woken up. She was a little surprised and a little happy to see Mei Fang waiting at the door.

"Morning, morning, have you been waiting for me?"

"I just saw you coming, so I waited for a while."

"Is that so..." Xia Yuan lowered her head and pursed her lips to think for a while, then raised her head and smiled, "Let's talk while walking."

On the way to school with Mei Fang, Xia Yuan explained what happened in her family last night and even recently.

Xia Yuan's father's hotel business seems to be booming, but in fact he has long been unable to make ends meet, so he has been borrowing money from outsiders and owes a lot of debt.

After learning about this, my mother advised my father to sell the hotel in time to stop the loss, but my father did not intend to do so, and even wanted to take out the family house as a mortgage to pay off the debt.

The quarrel between the two in the room alarmed Xia Yuan. After trying to dissuade them from stopping the quarrel but failed, Xia Yuan's father rushed out of the room.

Xia Yuan's mother also called Xia Yuan to stop, and told her the cause of the incident, hoping that she would also persuade her father to stop going his own way.

"It's the first time I've seen my father show that kind of expression... He's always been a very gentle person before, and he never hurt me and my mother."

Xia Yuan's expression was very bitter, "But when I went to talk to my father about this matter last night, he ignored me at all, and even taught me that children should not care about adults' affairs."

Although Xia Yuan's words contained some subjective understandings of his own, Mei Fang had almost figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

The hotel was unable to make ends meet and continued to lose money. Dad hoped to continue investing in costs to recover it, but mother thought it was a bottomless pit.

Judging from the ending of the previous life, Xia Yuan's father achieved his goal, but he also caused greater losses afterwards, so that their family's financial situation eventually fell into a bottomless abyss, until they were destroyed.

According to Mei Fang's observations over the years, Xia Yuan's parents are very "decent" people.

Their decency is reflected in their self-cultivation and the education of their daughters. Regardless of whether they are rich or poor, they are very easy-going in dealing with others.

But these upbringings can only be achieved on the basis of material wealth. Once they lose material wealth or even become heavily in debt, their "decency" cannot be maintained.

Xia Yuan's father is indeed a face-saving person. In Mei Fang's eyes, losing face is indeed worse than taking his life.

But it is hard for Mei Fang to imagine that they will eventually go to that extreme and take away their daughter.

"I think...you are just a child. If you are just speaking reasonable words, your father will definitely not listen to you."

Xia Yuan nodded, "I know, I really don't want Dad to open a hotel anymore. He likes to socialize and drink with those friends more and more. After I went to elementary school, I saw him less and less at home. And look at Dad The appearance of being so attached to the hotel...it's like being in a daze, which makes me feel very scared."

"Children are limited in what they can do. We are not on an equal footing with adults. It is almost impossible to convince each other with words alone."

Xia Yuan said in frustration, "Mom told me clearly last night that if Dad insists on going her own way again, she plans to divorce Dad, and she also asked me who I want to marry. I am very afraid that Mom and Dad will really divorce... I don't want to do this choice."

Mei Fang thought for a while, "Since you don't want to see your parents break up, and you want to stop Dad from going his own way, maybe this plan will work..."

"What plan are you talking about...?"

Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan, and said his plan word by word.

"Leave, run away from home?"

As a ward, if a child wants to try to persuade his parents to agree to something, he can basically only count on his parents to be unreasonable.

For example, if you want to raise a cat, want a new schoolbag, and want toys, then make an agreement with your parents about how many points you will get in the next exam and how many names you will get.

After achieving this goal, most parents will also agree to respond to their children's expectations.

But this is limited to some material rewards.

For Xia Yuan's father's plan, which is related to future career development, it is only possible to discuss opinions with adults.

There is absolutely no need to consider the child's opinion.

Unless, parents can understand the urgent demands of their children.

One's own affairs must be decided by oneself, so they often fight with their parents for independence. Children running away from home are the external manifestations of this independent consciousness.

There are many reasons for children to run away from home. On the one hand, it may be due to heavy studies, on the other hand, it may be the lack of family affection from indifferent parents, and a few are tired of the unchanging life and want to go outside.

In addition, the temptation and instigation of bad people is also one of the reasons why children run away from home.

Like Mei Fang.

"You, are you serious... Want me to run away from home?" Xia Yuan was shocked by Mei Fang's proposal, "Why can this solve the problem?"

Mei Fang nodded, "Think about it, your parents love you so much, as soon as you run away from home, they will put down what they are doing to find you? Then they will take your thoughts seriously. The most important thing here is What matters is your thoughts."

"But... that would make things too big!" Xia Yuan muttered, "If I really run away from home, my parents will definitely look for me like crazy."

"You've faked running away from home to face your thoughts and opinions by making them worry."

"Like those on TV? But I didn't quarrel with my family. It's too strange to run away from home."

"Won't you feel sad when you see your parents quarreling and you can't do anything? Mom also said that she would divorce Dad and let you choose who to live with. Are you willing to do this?"

"If you really get divorced, think about it when you go to junior high school, high school, university, or even get married, if your father marries another aunt, then..."

Mei Fang's whispers made Xia Yuan gradually realize the huge crisis, and she hurried forward to cover Mei Fang's mouth.

"Stop talking! You...you hate it!"

Mei Fang was still stable at coaxing children, and made Xia Yuan cry all at once.

Seeing that it was almost time to go to school, she quickly rubbed her eyes with her hands.

"It's true that my words are very poisonous, but what I said is also true. That's why you must run away from home, express your sadness with actions, and force your parents to face up to your opinions. If Dad gets his wish and makes the family bankrupt, or Mom really divorced dad, these are not what you want to see, right?"

"But...but..."

Xia Yuan looked at Mei Fang eagerly, "I have never run away from home, and I don't know if I have enough money. If I really meet a bad guy, what should I do..."

"What are you afraid of? We are such good friends, how can we rest assured that you are alone."

Mei Fang patted Xia Yuan on the shoulder, "I will also run away from home—"

"Run away from home with you."
