This happened last night and I still can’t decide if I should’ve said something different instead or if it’s my cousin’s fault

So I was at a big family dinner like cousins, aunts, grandparents the whole lineup. At some point my uncle asks what I’ve been up to lately, and I (as a joke) said, “Well, I made more money this week than I did in the last two months so it’s been going great”. They know I’m doing good cuz I just bought a truck a month ago and I’m only 21.

Everyone congratulated me until my grandma asked me for details. I told her that I’ve been working very hard and have gotten lucky and I gave them a slight smirk which I totally regret (I got some freelancing projects but I couldn’t go into every single detail lol). Then my cousin jumped in and said: ‘he’s probably doing drugs’. I immediately told them that it’s not true, but some of them literally believed my cousin which is fucking crazy

Now some members of my family think I’m doing sketchy stuff which is not true at all but I guess the way that I said it can make people think of the opposite. I’m even thinking of confronting my cousin cuz why would he even say stuff like that. He is currently unemployed so maybe it’s because of that I dont know

TL;DR: tifu my making my family think I’m drug dealing
