Chapter 6 Steamed Lobster Plans
After we got home.
Yang Fen went to the street on her own and bought an Australian Lobster. She said she wanted to build her son back up.
It looked huge and fierce.
I figured it would suit Qin Xiao's taste.
Yang Fen carried the big lobster over and ordered me.
"Jiang Rou, hurry and clean this lobster. Steam a big lobster for my son so he can build himself up."
Qin Xiao stared hard at the big lobster. He looked close to drooling. I waved a hand and said to Yang Fen:
"Mom, this Australian Lobster has to be kept in clean water for a day before it tastes good. Let's eat out tonight."
Qin Xiao nodded again and again.
"Xiao Rou is right. An Australian Lobster this good has to spit water all night before it is clean."
After that, we went downstairs to eat.
When the meal was over, I suggested a walk around the mall.
But Qin Xiao said his stomach felt a little uncomfortable and he wanted to go home first.
Yang Fen had been about to follow him back. I hooked her arm and would not let go.
"Mom, didn't you have your eye on a qipao last time? Come on. I will buy it for you today."
Only then did Yang Fen look delighted and go to the mall with me.
At a moment that exciting, how could I let Yang Fen, that old woman, disturb her son?
We walked for about three hours. Yang Fen said she could not walk anymore and insisted on going back.
I thought Qin Xiao ought to be done by then.
So I bought some snacks Qin Xiao liked, and we went back.
After we got home, I searched the master bedroom and did not see him.
A doubt rose in me. Had he taken it to a hotel to play?
The next second, I heard Yang Fen let out a scream like a blast.
I rushed to the kitchen.
Qin Xiao was lying on the floor, covered in blood.
That Australian Lobster's limbs had already been torn apart. Only half a body still hung on him.
I screamed. I spun and slapped Yang Fen hard across the face.
"What kind of freak Australian Lobster did you buy? How did this thing suddenly clamp onto my Husband's butt?"
Yang Fen looked panicked too.
"I... I did not think of that either. I will go fight with the seller and make the owner pay."
I roared.
"Is your brain a pig's? At a time like this you are still thinking about money? Why have you not called an ambulance and sent him to the hospital?"
Yang Fen came back to herself. Her hands shook as she hurried to dial 120.
