When the family came back and saw the sumptuous meal I had prepared, they praised me.

"Sheng Sheng, you're so considerate."

Yang Yang was drooling and couldn't wait to sit at the table, holding a chicken leg and gnawing on it without even washing his hands.

Sure enough, after only a few bites, Yang Yang started crying loudly, and his body broke out in a dense rash.

"What's wrong, Yang Yang? Could you be allergic?"

Mom immediately snatched the chicken leg from Yang Yang's hand and a strong peanut aroma hit her face.

Mom's face turned pale.

"Why is there peanut sauce in here? Yang Yang is allergic to peanut sauce!"

As she spoke, Mom looked at me with blame in her eyes.

She was about to scold me, but I preempted her with my thoughts.

[What? Little brother is allergic to peanuts? But didn't sister say that he likes it, so I deliberately put a lot of peanut sauce in the dishes for him!]

[But I'm the one who cooked the meal. Will Dad, Mom, and Grandma misunderstand me?]

Just as I finished thinking, Wen Wan couldn't wait to shift the blame onto me.

"Sheng Sheng, why did you put so much peanut sauce in the dishes when Yang Yang is allergic? Even if you dislike him because Mom and Dad favor him, you shouldn't harm him like this."

"After all, he's your little brother, and severe allergies can be fatal!"

With Wen Wan's words, the expressions of the family instantly changed.

There was doubt, blame, and disappointment in their eyes, and for a moment, they didn't know who to believe.

At this moment, I took out some allergy medicine and fed it to Yang Yang. He immediately stopped crying, and his symptoms visibly eased.

Upon seeing this, the family breathed a sigh of relief and looked at me with gratitude.

Grandma, however, was still worried and insisted on taking Yang Yang to the hospital for further examination. Mom and Dad went with her.

Wen Wan, seeing her plan fail, wore an unhappy expression.

"Sister, wasn't it you who added the peanut sauce? Why do you have medicine?"

"Were you deliberately doing this to make Mom and Dad thank you?"

By saying this, Wen Wan implied that I had orchestrated this whole thing, intentionally using Yang Yang to gain favor with the family.

With her words, Dad and Mom's smiles froze on their faces, and their gaze toward me became somewhat suspicious.

"Yes, indeed, it's too coincidental..."

Finally, Dad stood up with a solemn face and went into the adjacent room.

"Sheng Sheng, come in."

Wen Wan saw this and her mouth curled up, unable to hide her smugness.

Once in the room, Mom and Dad looked at me critically and asked,

"Sheng Sheng, how did you have medicine?"

"Because I'm actually allergic to peanuts myself, and I thought Yang Yang must be too. But my sister insisted that he wasn't allergic and even said that he really liked peanut sauce, so I put a lot of it in the dishes."

"I was worried and asked her several times. But instead, she scolded me and said I don't understand anything since I haven't been home for long. Unlike her, who has been at home for so long, she knows perfectly well what Yang Yang likes to eat and what he can eat."

The more I spoke, the colder Dad and Mom's expressions became, but they still half-believed and half-doubted.

"Is it true?"

I nodded and took out the photos from my phone, placing them in front of Dad and Mom.

While they silently looked at the photos, I deliberately acted, tears welling up in my eyes as I sobbed.

"Mom, Dad, you've been so good to me and the innocent and lovely Yang Yang. You always give me delicious food. How could I bear to harm Yang Yang and make you sad?"

"By the way, my sister told me before that you brought me back home to be a bone marrow donor for Yang Yang. At first, I was a little unhappy, but later I understood. Yang Yang is my own brother, and even if itwas difficult for me, I was willing to do it for his sake."

As I finished speaking, tears streamed down my face, and I looked at Dad and Mom with a pitiful expression.

Dad and Mom's expressions softened, and they hurriedly comforted me.

"Sheng Sheng, it's not your fault. We shouldn't have doubted you. It's just that the situation was too suspicious."

"Yes, we were too hasty in our judgment. We should have listened to your explanation before jumping to conclusions."

After a moment of silence, Dad sighed and said, "But Sheng Sheng, why didn't you tell us about your peanut allergy before? We could have avoided this misunderstanding."

I bit my lip and looked down, pretending to be ashamed.

"I... I was afraid that you would worry about me and treat me differently. I didn't want to be a burden to the family, so I kept it a secret."

Mom walked over and hugged me tightly.

"Silly child, how could you be a burden to us? You're our precious daughter, and we love you no matter what."

With these words, the family's doubts and suspicions dissipated, replaced by warmth and understanding.

From that day on, the family became more cautious about food allergies, and I became more open about sharing my own allergies.

Wen Wan, on the other hand, lost her credibility and trust within the family. Her attempts to manipulate the situation and undermine me had backfired, causing her to lose the support and favor of our parents.

As for me, I learned the importance of communication and trust within a family. It was a lesson that brought us closer together and made us appreciate each other even more.
