#HiMother the end of 2023 is a tough test for my family. My husband's brother suddenly called crying and asking to borrow money.
Initially, my husband and I wondered, did her husband earn less? In fact, her husband is a member of one of the agencies. Every day, my husband gets a call from his brother asking to lend him money.
Until finally, a WhatsApp message came in telling me that my brother-in-law was caught in an online loan, aka illegal loan. He was in arrears, my and my husband's cellphone numbers were the emergency contacts he entered.

Because my husband and I were afraid of embarrassing our family, we finally lent what funds we had. But because my brother-in-law kept asking for help, my husband ended up using the money that was supposed to be used for our children's school entrance fees.
From the start, my husband and I said the money was for our children's school registration. I don't know what my sister-in-law was thinking when she owed tens of millions. Every time my husband contacted him, he said don't tell my mother (my mother-in-law) because he was afraid of being scolded.
My husband couldn't afford another loan and finally told my mother. Apparently, Mother asked again, why weren't you told from the start. Mother also said that my sister-in-law's business always had a minus income, her lifestyle was also luxurious.
When my mother told about this case to her son-in-law (sister-in-law's husband), his reaction was unexpected. My sister-in-law's husband got angry and accused his wife of having a mistress. Even so, Mother still helped find a solution.
My brother-in-law admitted that he owed IDR 35 million, but someone still sent a message and it turned out that tens of millions more had not been paid off. Finally, after borrowing money from my brother, my mother-in-law applied for a business loan, but it still hasn't been paid off.
I was surprised, when my brother-in-law asked about the debt, how could my husband say 'don't think about it'. In fact, the money we lent was for the children's school registration fees this February.
Actually, I feel sorry but our income only comes from my husband's income. We have to save first for school fees. I'm sometimes confused, my brother-in-law's family's economic condition is more fortunate, everything is fulfilled, complete vehicles, and well-respected.
Meanwhile, we only have a motorbike and have to save up if the children ask to buy this or that. I'm confused, don't know what to do anymore. In the end, my husband and I became noisy. 🙁
