Chapter 1311 Consequences of Actions
Wang Liwen was taken aback. "Meilan, what are you saying? You want to discuss this with a child?"
Liu Meilan nodded. "Since this thing can be published, the situation described in the instruction manual has already occurred! For the sake of drama, the novel concentrates all the events on one person, which may not be the case in real life. But since it exists, we should face it squarely."
Wang Miaoxiang also strongly agreed with Liu Meilan's words, "Sister Liwen, Meilan is right! Many young people are attracted to books like this, and we need to find out why! Finding the reason is not enough; we also need to analyze the impact of this phenomenon, make children understand why doing this is wrong, and tell them the consequences of doing so!"
Liu Meilan wholeheartedly agreed, "The things these teenagers do are full of intense conflicts and are described in detail, but the final outcome is downplayed, or even left open-ended! This is irresponsible, but it's a novel, it's been artistically processed, and we can't change that!"
"Especially after children can't help but watch it, they're confused and don't understand what's going on. As parents, we should do our best to have an open and honest conversation with them about these things! Older children like Nuannuan are more sensible; once they understand the whole story, they naturally won't do it!"
"On the contrary, those who are confused and curious, like cats scratching, are more rebellious when faced with adults' one-size-fits-all obstruction! They may even use these things to provoke adults and achieve some of their goals."
Hearing this, Wang Nuannuan seemed thoughtful. "Sister Meilan, there's a girl in our class whose family isn't well-off, just enough to get by. But she always likes to buy designer brands, and a pair of shoes can cost hundreds or even thousands! It's okay for her parents to buy them occasionally, but they can't afford it if they buy them all the time! So she cut her wrists with a knife and threatened to kill herself!"
"Actually, every time she cuts, it's when there are many people around, and the knife only makes a shallow cut, so there's not much bleeding! But every time she does this, she gets what she wants! She's gradually become more and more reckless, even showing off about it. Sister Meilan, what do you think we should do?"
Liu Meilan was taken aback. "Oh, this is just too vain. She doesn't know the hardships her parents endure! It's actually very simple. She can take a two-week break from school and work alongside her parents, so she can see what their daily work entails and the money they earn. If she still doesn't change after that, then this child is ruined and needs to learn to play the trumpet!"
Liu Meilan's words left everyone speechless. Wang Liwen stammered, "Won't it be better when I grow up?"
Liu Meilan shook her head. "They're seventeen or eighteen years old. They may not have truly entered society and may not be mature, but that doesn't mean they're stupid or lack judgment! Knowing the true situation at home and continuing like this will only drag the family into an abyss! Letting go appropriately and stopping spoiling them is the last way to save this child!"
Everyone fell into deep thought and realized that Liu Meilan's words made a lot of sense.
Seeing that her mother was no longer angry, Wang Nuannuan quickly said, "Sister Meilan, can you tell me about this novel? Once I understand it thoroughly, I want to hold a novel-sharing session when I go back to school! I want to let more people realize that many of the behaviors described in it are wrong!"
Wang Liwen was taken aback. "You're going to share it at school?"
Wang Nuannuan nodded, "Of course, even someone with strong self-control like me didn't think about these things when I was watching, and even thought their behavior was a display of free youth!"
Wang Nuannuan's words relieved Wang Liwen. "Okay, let's analyze this together! I'll go to school with you later and talk to your homeroom teacher about this!"
So Liu Meilan sat at the stone table, with Wang Miaoxiang, Wang Liwen, and Wang Nuannuan sitting inside. They began to analyze the major plot points.
Liu Meilan pointed at the male lead inside and said, "This girl didn't agree, but this boy forcibly dragged her into the woods. He's depriving her of her personal freedom and violating her will. That's illegal! If the police are called, this boy will be warned even if he doesn't go to jail!"
"This is inside the school. Look, there are a few thugs outside, following this boy! The girl was temporarily safe with this boy, but there were also thugs from another school who felt that the school beauty was taken and their limelight had been stolen. So, this girl was dragged into an alley by another group of thugs! Although the police arrived in the end and the girl was not raped, is she really that lucky in real life?"
"Also, the girl in this story was envied by her classmates, so they put laxatives in her drink to embarrass her! Remember, drugging is a serious crime! If they can put laxatives today, can they put drugs that can cloud judgment or even poison next time?"
……
Liu Meilan pointed out each and every specific incident, explaining that these actions were illegal and what the likely consequences would be in reality.
Many things are written in books, but many people cannot truly empathize with them. Real life is cruel; one wrong step and you can face utter ruin.
Wang Nuannuan took a pen, noted down the page numbers, and wrote all the analyses in her notebook.
They spent two whole hours explaining everything to Wang Nuannuan from beginning to end, making her realize the dangers of society and teach her to see through appearances to the essence of things.
Wang Nuannuan blinked and looked at Liu Meilan, who was drinking water. "Sister Meilan, Sister Miaoxiang, Mom, thank you for telling me these things. I've been protected by you too much, and I took all of this for granted, but it's not."
Liu Meilan patted her shoulder, "Nuannuan, remember what I said: don't do dangerous things, don't go to dangerous places! Even if someone asks you for help, you should act within your capabilities, instead of blindly helping! If an elderly person asks you for directions, you can give them directions, but don't take them to any remote places, especially remote ones. They might be human traffickers who take you to a remote place, drug you, and sell you!"
Wang Liwen quickly added, "You'll discover these details of daily life gradually. We'll also tell you when we think of them!"
Wang Nuannuan nodded, "I understand, Mom! Sister Miaolan, Sister Miaoxiang, thank you again!"
After discussing the whole thing, Wang Nuannuan felt that the book was no longer appealing!
The next day, Wang Liwen took a day off to send her daughter to school in Shenzhen.
Wang Liwen is a teacher, and Wang Nuannuan's homeroom teacher is also a woman. They usually communicate quite a bit, so after arriving at school, Wang Liwen took the book and had a very in-depth discussion with her homeroom teacher, Ms. Li.
