Chapter 1174 Brainwashing, Cultural and Racial Bullying
Liu Meilan nodded, "Yu Ning, you have no idea how beautiful you are."
When Wu Yuning saw herself in the mirror, although her features were not as delicate as her cousin Meilan's, she was still a very pretty woman.
Liu Meilan also restyled Wu Yuning's hair, and paired with her current simple, natural makeup, her overall look instantly improved.
"Cousin, I didn't used to wear makeup, but my friends say I look better with makeup, and they complimented my previous makeup. Are they trying to be mean to me? I look better like this!"
Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Yu Ning, makeup is actually a form of culture. When we see foreigners, we think they are beautiful and handsome, and we think they look good too. But why did foreigners think your previous makeup looked good when we thought it looked good?"
Wu Yuning thought about it carefully, and then said, "Are they trying to brainwash me by praising me like that and then making me obsessed with ugly makeup?"
Hearing this, Liu Meilan's eyes lit up, and she gave a thumbs up. "Yu Ning, you've learned to think. In fact, that's how they are. They allow themselves to be beautiful but don't allow us to be beautiful. This is unfair cultural bullying. However, as China's national strength grows, this situation will be rejected by more and more people."
Thinking of the bullying and harassment she had suffered since childhood, Wu Yuning said, "Cousin Meilan, thank you. You saw that my outfit was ugly and used a subtle way to remind me to change my makeup so that I could see my true face."
Liu Meilan laughed, "I was worried you'd think I was being nosy, after all... after all, what I did might offend you. But then I thought, you really do need to wash your face, so I gave it a try. Not only were you not angry, but you were also able to accept it and think about it so much, that's amazing."
Wu Yuning nodded, "Yes, I will never wear that kind of makeup again. It really looks ugly."
Liu Meilan patted her on the shoulder, "My aunt's daughter is my cousin, but she's your older cousin. She's a singer, and she's really interesting."
Wu Yuning exclaimed in surprise, "She's a celebrity!"
Liu Meilan nodded, "She's a celebrity, but she's also a soldier. She's currently going to the grassroots level to visit and comfort the troops. There are also many interesting places in China; I can take you there."
Wu Yuning smiled and said, "Before I came here, I was worried that the security was bad and that the place was backward. But now it seems that apart from the houses not being as tall as those in the United States, everything else is not bad. On the way here, I noticed that there are many construction sites, so it may develop better in the future."
Liu Meilan's eyes lit up. "Once things are settled here, you can go to Shenzhen for fun. It's a great place to develop."
"Mm!" Wu Yuning smiled, stood up, braided her hair into a high ponytail, and paired it with the sportswear she was wearing, looking youthful and beautiful.
When Wu Yuning appeared before everyone, everyone was stunned. Especially Wu Fengnian and his wife Liang Enhui, who exchanged a glance and said, "I knew it. My daughter was very pretty and cute when she was little. There's no reason why she wouldn't be pretty when she grows up."
Liang Enhui nodded, "Yes, neither of us is ugly, and neither is the child. It was all caused by the makeup."
Wu Yuning was a little embarrassed, so she hugged the ball and led the children in playing ball.
She saw the amazement her family had just witnessed. It was something she hadn't seen at other times. It turned out that the makeup had truly concealed her beauty.
Wu Yuze scratched his deliberately permed hair and suddenly felt it didn't smell good anymore, feeling like a sloppy little dog.
On the first day, I experienced a very profound culture shock, but the pursuit of beauty prevailed.
Wu Zhenhua and Wu Meihua have completely fallen in love with this place; it feels like being in their parents' arms. They feel very safe and happy.
The younger generation will take care of the rest; they can just enjoy themselves.
Uncle Xie, Uncle Xie, and Uncle Xie returned home one after another, while Xie Tianyi's family of four stayed in Shanghai to find a school for their child.
Director Li from the Investment Promotion Office came to visit my home again.
Liu Meilan left these matters to her second brother to handle, while she went sea fishing with her eldest and second cousins.
The yacht was rented. Although it was expensive, it was much more comfortable.
Wu Fengdeng was surprised, "I didn't expect that these things existed in China as well."
Liu Meilan laughed and said, "Uncle, don't you know what era we live in now! It's been more than 20 years since the reform and opening up. Many things that are abroad are now common in China as well."
“That’s great, I’ll retire here in China too,” Wu Fengdeng said with a smile. “Qin Zheng, Tianyi, could you keep an eye out for houses for sale nearby?”
Qin Zheng nodded, "Uncle Wu, don't worry. If someone wants to sell the house, I will contact you."
"Okay!" Wu Fengdeng nodded. "Thank you very much."
The Wu family's old house belongs to Liu Meilan. It has been renovated and is now for the elderly to live in. Wu Fengdeng has no intention of taking it back.
They didn't live there and didn't have much of an attachment to it. The interior design was what the father liked, but not what they did. Therefore, their requirements for buying a house were simple: it had to be close by, and they wanted to buy one nearby.
Wu Yuze was surprised to see Liu Meilan personally steering the boat. "Cousin, you can drive a yacht?"
Liu Meilan said proudly, "Yachts are a piece of cake for me. I can also drive large fishing boats and deep-sea fishing vessels. I have eight super-large deep-sea fishing vessels alone. Everyone calls me Captain Meilan."
Wu Yuze couldn't believe it. "You...you're amazing, Captain Meilan. Wait here, I'll take you to a place with lots of fish in a bit, where you can catch even more good fish."
Standing to the side, Wu Yuning looked at Liu Meilan with admiration, "Cousin, you are the most unconventional woman I have ever met. Not only did you get married and have children early, but even the things you know are beyond my expectations."
"Haha, there will be even more surprises in the future," Liu Meilan laughed. "I want to let you know through these things that you shouldn't be deceived by those foreign reports. China does have poor areas, but it also definitely has rich areas. We implement a policy of letting the rich help the poor, and the rich areas helping the poor areas. One day, we will all be developed."
Although this move was somewhat naive, Liu Meilan hoped it would give them more confidence and make them more willing to stay. Only then could they discuss the rest.
Once they arrived at the chosen spot, Liu Meilan moored the boat, then took her fishing rod and walked up to her eldest cousin. "Uncle, come on, let's have a competition today."
Wu Fengdeng nodded. He was also an expert, winning awards in fishing competitions every year. "Okay, shall we compete to see who catches the most?"
Liu Meilan smiled, "It's not just about who catches the most fish, but also who catches the most delicious fish. The judges are my great-uncle, great-grandmother, great-grandfather, and great-aunt. Is that alright?"
Wu Fengdeng readily agreed, "Okay! Let's begin. How about I give you a ten-minute head start?"
