The next morning, Mei Fang got up earlier than before, and he was waiting for Xia Yuan at the entrance of the community.
Because the family is not far away in elementary school, Xia Yuan usually goes to school and doesn’t follow her mother, and of course she doesn’t go to class with Mei Fang every day like a childhood sweetheart in Sakura Country.
When Mei Fang saw Xia Yuan, she squinted her eyes and yawned, looking like she had just woken up. She was a little surprised and happy when she saw Mei Fang waiting at the door.
“Are you early, are you waiting for me?”
“I just happened to see you coming, so I waited for a while.”
“That’s it…” Xia Yuan lowered her head and pursed her lips for a while, then raised her head and smiled, “Let’s talk as she walked.”
On the way to school with Mei Fang, Xia Yuan explained what happened to her family last night and even in the recent period.
Xia Yuan’s father’s hotel business seems to be booming, but in fact he has been unable to make ends meet, so he has been borrowing from abroad and owes a lot of debts.
After learning about this, my mother advised her father to sell the hotel in time to stop the loss, but her father did not intend to do so, and even wanted to take out the house at home to mortgage to repay the debt.
The two of them quarrel in the room alarmed Xia Yuan. After dissuading the two of them to stop the quarrel, Xia Yuan’s father snatched the door and left.
Xia Yuan’s mother also called Xia Yuan and told her the cause of the incident, hoping that she would advise her father more and not continue to do whatever she wanted.
“This is the first time I have seen my father show that expression… He has always been a very gentle person before, and never raped 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 and taught me a lesson, children should not care about adults’ affairs.”
Although Xia Yuan’s words contained some subjective understanding, Mei Fang almost figured out the whole story of the matter.
In a hotel where the income is not enough to make ends meet, the father hopes to continue to invest in costs to recover, while the mother thinks it is a bottomless hole.
According to the end of his previous life, Xia Yuan’s father achieved his goal, but it also caused greater losses in the future, so that their family’s economic 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 people who pay great attention to “decent”.
Their decency is reflected in their own cultivation and their education. No matter how rich or poor they are, they are very easy-going in dealing with people.
But these educations can only be achieved on the basis of material abundance. Once they lose material wealth or even have a lot of debt, their “decentness” will not be maintained.
Xia Yuan’s father is indeed a person who loves face. In Mei Fang’s eyes, losing face is indeed more uncomfortable than killing him.
But Mei Fang is unimaginable to say that they will eventually go to that extreme and take away their daughters.
“I think… you are just a child. If you are just a reason, your father will definitely not listen to you.”
Xia Yuan nodded, “I know, I really don’t want my father to open a hotel again. He likes to socialize and drink with his friends more and more. After I went to elementary school, I saw him at home less and less. And seeing his father so persistent in the hotel… it’s like a madman, which makes me feel very scared.”
“There are limited things that children can do. We are not in the same position as adults. It is almost impossible to convince each other by words.”
Xia Yuan said disappointedly, “Mom told me last night that if my father insists on doing this, she plans to divorce his father and asks who I want to go with. I am very afraid that my parents will really divorce… I don’t want to make such a choice.”
Mei Fang thought for a while, “Since you don’t want to see your parents’ relationship break down and you want to stop your father from going his own way, maybe this plan can work…”
“What plan did you say…?”
Mei Fang looked at Xia Yuan and said his plan word by word.
“Leave, run away from home?”
