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

Because his home in elementary school was not far away, Xia Yuan usually went to school without following his mother. Of course, he was not like his childhood sweetheart in Sakura Country, who went to class with Mei Fang every day.

When Mei Fang saw Xia Yuan, she was still squinting and yawning, 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."

"That's it..." Xia Yuan lowered his head and pursed his lips, thinking for a while, then raised his head and smiled, "Let's talk as we walk."

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 it has long been unable to make ends meet, so he has been taking out loans and owed a lot of debt.

After my mother learned about this, she persuaded my father to sell the hotel in time to stop the loss, but my father had no intention of doing so and even wanted to mortgage the family house to pay off the debt.

The quarrel between the two in the room alarmed Xia Yuan. After failing to persuade the two to stop the quarrel, Xia Yuan's father rushed out of the door.

Xia Yuan's mother also stopped Xia Yuan and told her the cause of the matter, hoping that she would also persuade her father not to continue to have her own way.

"This is the first time I've seen my father show that kind of expression... He has always been a very gentle person in the past and has never been harsh on me or 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 taught me that children should not interfere with adults' affairs."

Although Xia Yuan's words contained some subjective understanding of his own, Mei Fang had almost figured out the whole story.

For a hotel that cannot make ends meet and continues to lose money, my father hopes to continue investing in costs to recover it, while my mother thinks it is a bottomless hole.

Judging from the outcome of his previous life, Xia Yuan's father achieved his goal, but later also caused greater losses, so that their family's financial situation eventually fell into a bottomless abyss until it was destroyed.

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

Their dignity 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 "respect" will be impossible to maintain.

Xia Yuan's father is indeed a face-loving person. In Mei Fang's eyes, losing face is indeed more painful than killing him.

But it was unimaginable for Mei Fang that they would eventually go to that extreme and take their daughter away with them.

"I think... you are just a child. If you are just being reasonable, 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 friends more and more. After I went to elementary school, I saw him less and less at home. And seeing dad

The way he was so attached to the hotel...it was like he was possessed by a demon, which made me feel very scared."

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

Xia Yuan said with disappointment, "My mother told me clearly last night that if my father continues to have his own way, she plans to divorce him, and she also asked me who I want to marry. I'm afraid that my parents will really divorce... I don't want to do this

A choice.”

Mei Fang thought for a while, "Since you don't want to see your parents' relationship break up, and you want to stop your father from going his own way, maybe this plan can be effective..."

"What plan are you talking about?"

Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan and spelled out her plan word for word.

"Li, run away from home?"

As children under guardianship, if they want to try to persuade their parents to agree to something, they can basically rely on their parents to be unreasonable.

For example, if you want to raise a cat, a new school bag, or a toy, 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 plans like Xia Yuan's father, which are related to future career development, he can only discuss his opinions with adults.

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

Unless, parents can be made to understand their children’s urgent demands.

You have to take charge of your own affairs, so you often have conflicts with your parents about your independence. Children running away from home is an external manifestation of this independent consciousness.

There are many reasons why children run away from home. On the one hand, it can be due to heavy studies, on the other hand, it can be due to the lack of family affection from indifferent parents. A few of them are tired of the same life and want to go out to explore.

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

Such as Mei Fang.

"Are you serious...you 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, will they put down what they are doing and look for you? Then they will take your ideas seriously. The most important thing here is

What matters is your thoughts.”

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

"You were just pretending to run 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 would be too weird to run away from home."

"Don't you feel sad when you watch your parents quarreling and there is nothing you can do? Your mother also said that she wants to divorce your father and asks you to 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, college, or even get married. If your father marries another aunt, then..."

Mei Fang's whisper made Xia Yuan gradually realize the huge crisis, and she quickly stepped forward and covered Mei Fang's mouth.

"Stop talking! You...you're so annoying!"

Mei Fang was still stable at coaxing children, and she made Xia Yuan cry in no time.

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

"It's true that my words are very poisonous, but what I say is also true. That's why you must run away from home, show your sadness with actions, and force your parents to face your opinions. If dad gets what he wants and the family goes bankrupt, or

Mom is really divorced from dad, and these are not things you want to see, right?"

"But...but..."

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

"What are you afraid of? We are such good friends, how can we safely leave you alone."

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

"I'll run away from home with you."
