Kang Xiaobo knew about it, and naturally, Zou Ruoming knew as well. After the third class in the afternoon, he brought a group of his subordinates to the snack street outside the school, to Tang Yun's mother's barbecue stall. He ordered some skewers and beer, and sat there waiting for Tang Yun.
Tang Yun's mother naturally knew Zou Ruoming and was aware that he was a bully at school. However, he usually wouldn't visit her stall. She wondered why he had brought so many people to eat here today.
Tang Yun's mother was a bit afraid of Zou Ruoming. In the past, a seafood vendor on the snack street had made Zou Ruoming sick, and the next day, Zou Ruoming brought people to smash his stall. The vendor was beaten up so badly that he didn't come out to work for several days.
Because of Zou Ruoming's tyranny, the other vendors on the snack street were as silent as cicadas in winter, and they all tried to find out more about him. They discovered that he was one of the four notorious students at the school! Since then, whenever Zou Ruoming visited a stall, the vendor would be extremely cautious, fearing any problems. They would even give a significant discount when it came to payment, afraid of making Zou Ruoming unhappy.
There were other barbecue stalls on the snack street, and in the past, Zou Ruoming and his group always went to a stall at the front of the street. Tang Yun's mother had secretly rejoiced about this, as this small business didn't earn much money, and if any trouble arose, it wouldn't be enough to cover the losses.
"Please, gentlemen, enjoy... Ah!" Tang Yun's mother carefully placed a few grilled chicken wings on Zou Ruoming's table. However, the more careful she was, the more likely something went wrong. As she put down the chicken wings, her hand trembled, and the seasoning on the chicken wings splashed onto the leg of a fat man sitting next to Zou Ruoming, leaving an oil stain.
"Sorry, sorry!" Tang Yun's mother was at a loss, truly afraid of these young masters. She feared that if they were unhappy, they would start smashing her stall: "Would you like... me to clean it for you... or wash it for you..."
After being laid off, Tang Yun's mother had relied on this barbecue stall to support her family. Her husband had an injured leg and was bedridden, but the compensation from the factory had not been paid. She had visited the factory several times but was rudely driven away by the management.
Tang Yun's mother was a typical housewife living at the bottom of society, meek and weak, but she had to support her family with her own hands, earning money for her daughter's education and her husband's medical expenses.
"Haha, it's fine!" The fat man didn't get angry at all. He casually brushed off the seasoning on his pants and said indifferently, "How could I dare to trouble Auntie to wash my pants? Brother Ming would kill me! You'll be our elder in the future!"
"You little brat!" Zou Ruoming tapped the fat man's forehead: "Starting to flatter already?"
"Hehehe..." The fat man laughed, and the other students who came with Zou Ruoming also laughed without restraint.
Tang Yun's mother looked at the fat man, unsure of what he meant and why everyone was laughing. The only thing she understood was that the fat man didn't seem to want to hold her responsible!
Tang Yun's mother breathed a sigh of relief and said carefully, "Then... let me treat you?"
"How can that be? Is Brother Ming the kind of person who doesn't pay for his meals?" The fat man waved his hand and said, "Even if he doesn't pay for others, he would pay for Auntie! Besides, we'll be family in the future, so we can't be short of money!"
Zou Ruoming seemed very pleased with the fat man's words, a smile on his lips. The fat man was indeed perceptive; it seemed that his usual kindness to him wasn't in vain!
Tang Yun's mother was even more confused, not understanding what the fat man meant by "family" and "not short of money." What did it all mean?
At this moment, Tang Yun walked over from a distance. The fat man stopped trying to please Tang Yun's mother and suddenly stood up, swaying his bulky body and whistling. The other subordinates of Zou Ruoming also joined in, whistling and winking at Tang Yun!
"Brother-in-law is here, brother-in-law is here!" The fat man shouted.
Tang Yun saw Zou Ruoming and his subordinates and heard the fat man's nonsense. Her face turned pale. She hadn't expected Zou Ruoming to find her here and say such nonsense in front of her mother!
Previously, Zou Ruoming had written love letters to Tang Yun, but she had rejected him without mercy. However, Zou Ruoming didn't seem to care and kept pestering her with a grin until the class bell rang, and Tang Yun fled back to the classroom.
For the past two days, there had been no trouble, and Tang Yun thought Zou Ruoming had given up after being rejected. She never imagined he would do something like this! If her mother thought she was in a relationship at school, how heartbroken would she be?
Tang Yun stopped in her tracks, not daring to move forward. Zou Ruoming's intense gaze made her lower her head, her face flushing with embarrassment and anger.
"Boss, Zou Ruoming and his gang are over there!" Kang Xiaobo and Lin Yi followed Tang Yun and saw Zou Ruoming and his subordinates teasing her. Kang Xiaobo was immediately angry: "That guy is bullying Tang Yun!"
"Oh? So his name is Zou Ruoming?" Lin Yi was surprised, recognizing the man leading the group as the one he had hit with a basketball a few days ago, leaving him bleeding.
"You know him?" Kang Xiaobo was also surprised by Lin Yi's words: "He's one of the four notorious students at the school! I mentioned him before. If you take care of him, you'll be the one!"
"..." Lin Yi shook his head and smiled bitterly, realizing he had already dealt with this guy a few days ago.
"Zou Ruoming has been pursuing Tang Yun, but she rejected him. I didn't expect him to resort to such despicable means, creating a fait accompli in front of Tang Yun's mother!" Kang Xiaobo clenched his fists in anger upon hearing the fat man's words.
Lin Yi didn't feel particularly concerned. Although Zou Ruoming was despicable, he hadn't provoked him, and there was no conflict of interest. Lin Yi didn't want to get involved in his affairs.
"Brother-in-law, come sit down. Brother Ming has already ordered the food, just waiting for you!" The fat man winked at Tang Yun, almost popping his eyes out.
"Exactly, Yun, don't be shy. We'll have to tell Auntie about our relationship sooner or later!" Zou Ruoming, with a thick face, waved at Tang Yun. Previously, Tang Yun had rejected him, and he was unwilling to give up. Encouraged by one of his subordinates, he decided to take this desperate step to create a fait accompli in front of Tang Yun's mother! He knew that Tang Yun's mother was a housewife, and although he had a bad reputation at school, he was young and wealthy. If Tang Yun's mother accepted the situation, he believed Tang Yun wouldn't be able to say anything against it...
