She mentioned she accepted the punishment because she WORRIED about the eldest brother and did not want to give him more burden. It was in several previous chapters.
People seems to be forget that just because she has adult mind, doesn't mean she can do anything. She cannot predict future (despite saving the parents, they died in other way). She is a child, a girl and to make things worse, adopted. The only thing she is good at is having better mental capability and supporting the family.
More realistic this way actually.
