Little Sister Su, who had been laughing happily, grew subdued with the change in atmosphere. Confusion and unease settled around the family like a heavy cloak. Little Sister Su was about to speak up when Sixth Sister stopped her. "Shut up."
"Why?" Little Sister Su asked.
Sixth Sister secretly rolled her eyes. "You're so dumb. Can't you see that Second Sister is angry? Someone is in trouble."
"Is she angry with Fourth Sister and Fifth Sister?" Little Sister Su could not stand being called dumb. She was just as smart as Sixth Sister!
"Who else would she be angry with?" To be fair, Sixth Sister was also angry with her Fourth and Fifth Sisters.
