After being married to a soldier for three years, my mother-in-law wrote letters every day lamenting her poverty. All the money she sent back was given to her brother-in-law. Until one day she took her children to visit relatives in the army and found that her mother-in-law was taking care of her brother-in-law's children in the army's family home - renting a house with the money she sent. She didn't make a fuss, turned around and set up a stall selling breakfast at the entrance of the army. A year later, she became a typical example of a military wife starting a business, and her mother-in-law left with her brother-in-law in despair.
