Su Shian looked so pitiful that Su Yu couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Hahaha, how much do you want?"

Su Shikuan asked in confusion, "Sister, have you used up your pocket money? The four of us now have two taels of pocket money each month! In addition, Uncle Seven often gives us some pocket money, so how can you be out of money? What's more, our rouge shop still has income, which makes me so greedy that I don't even want to go to school to earn money."

Wu Jin interjected, "It's all spent. An An bought a tree from the top of a hill."

Deng Xian asked in surprise: "Ah? An An, have you been cheated?" Not only her, but Su Shining, Su Shikuan and Su Shirong all pricked up their ears and listened carefully.

Su Yu coughed and explained, "That's not the case. The villagers even asked someone to go to the academy to ask me about An An's purchase of the tree."

"I see. So, An An, you spent all your money on buying trees?"

Su Shian nodded and replied, "Yes, yes, I want to make paper. The trees will be used anyway, so it would be more cost-effective to buy more at one time."

Su Shikuan asked, "That's a good idea, but how much did you spend on these trees?"

"Not more, not less, exactly fifteen taels of silver!" Su Shian smiled somewhat complacently, and then continued, "On a hilltop, there should be at least four or five hundred mulberry trees."

"It's indeed a lot, but now you have spent all the money. What should you do next?" Su Shikuan continued to ask.

Su Shian scratched his head and said helplessly, "That's right, I wanted to buy some big vats to soak the bark, but now I don't have a penny left."

At this time, Su Yu said very generously: "Then give An An ten taels of silver. I wonder if it is enough?"

Su Shikuan complained, "Dad, you gave An An so much money... and you even asked if it was enough..." Seeing that his father only said half a sentence and then stopped, Su Shirong couldn't help feeling a little strange, thinking that according to common sense, it should be more balanced.

Su Shian responded happily: "Enough, enough."

Su Shining smiled but did not say a word. After all, she was now in charge of a shop and had much more financial resources than her brothers and sisters. Naturally, she would not care about a few taels of silver.

Deng Xian took out the money and gave it to Su Shian, and said, "Spend it sparingly. It's only the beginning of August now, and your pocket money for this month will not be paid until next month!"

"Oh, OK!" Su Shian suddenly remembered something and asked hurriedly, "Will there be any gifts for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"

Deng Xian answered directly: "No."

"Okay, but..."

At this time, Su Yu on the side interrupted curiously and asked: "An An, do you have any other reasons?"

"I just wanted to ask about the renovation of the toilet and bathroom that Mom promised to do. How come it's already the beginning of August and there's still no progress?" Su Shian muttered with a look of grievance.

Deng Xian didn't mean to delay this matter, she was just too busy to care about it. "Husband, go find Carpenter Chen's people to come over and start the work tomorrow. An An has been looking forward to it for a long time. Rong Er, take out the blueprint you drew and show it to your father."

"Dad, this is what An An described and I drew. Please ask the stonemason to carve it out according to what An An said." The place that Su Shirong pointed to was exactly the location of the potty that Su Shian wanted to make.

Suzhou looked at the toilet and shower room on the blueprint and liked it very much. "Yes, An'an's idea is very good. I will find someone to come and do the construction tomorrow."

The Su family finally decided to renovate the dilapidated toilet, and the timing was perfect, just in time for the bark to soak. According to Su Shian's detailed explanation and Su Shirong's drawings, the stonemasons began to carefully build the sewer and toilet. At the same time, carpenter Chen Dabao was responsible for the interior decoration.

Wu Jin actively helped them carry various items every day. Deng Xian saw that she had to cut down trees and carry wood, which was too hard, so she prepared a hearty meal for her every day, and almost all of it was meat. This made Wu Jin feel very embarrassed and kept saying that she had gained a lot of weight.

Of course, their studies officially began. Gao Shuyue successfully adjusted her mood in just two days. She thought it was better to face it calmly than to worry about it, after all, she still had a chance to receive good treatment.

In fact, Qin Caichun returned home very late that night, and it was not until the next day that she had the opportunity to talk to Doctor Liang about the pulse diagnosis of Gao Shuyue. Doctor Liang could not help but sigh: "She really gave up her life for beauty!"

"Master, is there any treatment?" Qin Caichun asked curiously.

"Have you asked her if she has any nosebleeds or blurred vision?"

"Nothing."

Doctor Liang then asked: "Do you feel nausea, vomiting, bleeding in the mouth, ulcers, insomnia, irritability, memory loss and other symptoms?"

Qin Caichun replied: "Master, I have never asked these questions."

"In that case, what conclusion did you draw from the pulse?"

"After taking her pulse, I discovered that Miss Gao's stomach seemed to be in some discomfort, and it might have some impact on her pregnancy." Qin Caichun cautiously stated his diagnosis.

"Well, cinnabar does damage the stomach and intestines, and it does reduce fertility. I need to go to Yangming Mountain to pick herbs tomorrow, and I won't be back until about half a month later. Please help me convey a message to that girl and tell her that I will see her in half a month. However, she must not use that kind of rouge and powder during this period."

"Okay, Master, I understand." Qin Caichun said in a firm tone.

When Qin Caichun told Gao Shuyue about his master's situation, he tactfully expressed his hope that she could maintain a good mood and not worry too much. He also told her that as long as she stopped using rouge and powder containing cinnabar, she should be able to find a solution to the problem.

Gao Shuyue didn't believe it completely, but she still had some hope in her heart. At this moment, Deng Qiyue finally understood why Gao Shuyue wanted to see a doctor. Perhaps out of concern for her, he began to restrain himself, tolerate Gao Shuyue's temper, and stopped arguing with her.

After half a month of hard work by stonemasons, bricklayers and carpenters, everyone in the Su family, especially Su Shian, finally got their dream shower room and clean toilet. For everyone in the Su family, this was undoubtedly a major improvement in their quality of life.
