After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

"Are you deaf?

I asked you to do something for me, and you actually said it was your father's fault. Do you want to piss me off to death?

You are such an unfilial thing, how could I have given birth to such a thing as you? "

Tong Wenjie realized that he was exposed. He was so scared that he trembled all over, lowered his head and dared not say a word.

"What a useless thing, never mind, I didn't have any hope for you anyway.

I'm a good person if you don't make me angry to death."

Tong Guoan's hands clapped on the table, which frightened Tong Wenjie so much that he could only reply with a trembling voice.

"My son doesn't dare."

"Humph……"

After scolding his son for a long time, Tong Guoan felt a little thirsty. He picked up the tea and gulped down a large cup. Then he put the cup down, took a deep breath, and then talked about today's business.

"You are such a useless thing. Your father asked you to come here today to do something for you."

"Father, please give me your orders. I will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Normally when Tong Wenjie was called by his father, he would usually just be scolded and that would be the end of the matter. If he was unlucky, he would even be beaten up.

Now that his father had called him over, although he had scolded him as usual, he actually planned to assign him some chores to do. This was the first time in history that Tong Wenjie actually felt a little dizzy.

After calming down, Tong Wenjie felt a little excited. Could this be a chance for his father to give him a chance to show his abilities?

Then I must seize this opportunity, Tong Wenjie quickly expressed his opinion, looking at his father Tong Guoan with expectant eyes.

Seeing his son like this, Tong Guoan softened his tone and said, "The situation in the court is not good recently. The Yellow River burst its banks and flooded. The national treasury can't even take out money for disaster relief. The emperor was furious and decided to check the money owed to the national treasury by the princes, nobles and ministers over the years.

This has been the case since the reign of the late emperor. Almost all the ministers and princes and nobles in the court have borrowed silver from the national treasury. If anyone does not borrow, it would be inappropriate, so my father also borrowed 20 taels of silver from the national treasury.

Now the Emperor has decided to investigate all the money owed to the national treasury by the ministers, princes and nobles over the years, and has demanded that they repay the money within a certain period of time.

Time is pressing, it will be done in a few days, and our family cannot come up with so much cash at the moment. If we sell off our property, one is that we are afraid that the emperor will be unhappy, and the other is that the things we are in a hurry to sell will not be sold at a good price, and the loss will be even greater.

As a father, I think that with so many people in the family, we must all work together to find a way to quickly gather the money, so as to ensure the future of Duke Yue's mansion and the safety of the family."

"But my son doesn't have much money, and at most he can scrape together a thousand taels.

My son is willing to spend all his wealth, just hoping to get through this difficult time."

Poor Tong Wenjie calculated that he really didn't have much money. His father had always favored the younger brothers and sisters born to Aunt Li, so all the good things were sent to Aunt Li's courtyard like water for free. As the eldest son of the family, he could only take the regular silver from the public treasury. If he really couldn't spare any, he would have to rely on his mother to use her dowry to supplement the money.

Tong Wenjie, who was short of money, didn't have the ability to do so even if he wanted to. Tong Guoan, as his father, was naturally aware of this. He didn't expect much from Tong Wenjie, but that vicious woman Du Sanniang had a lot of dowry.
