My Husbands family always questions our living/ financial situation is this right?

My Husband and i got married a few years ago, we lived in a big city living paycheck to paycheck, we loved the big city life but was hard to keep up with all the events & things going on and things things things! SO we got married and my father offered us to come live in one of his apartment complexes for free, as a marriage gift, so we can have a good start to our marriage, because that is the #1 reasons for divorce is financial stresses and we do not want any kind of stresses on our marriage, especially with our new little boy! we just had 5 months ago! what a blessing. So we have been here now in a small town in a apartment for 2 years now and Im now a stay at home mommy (what a blessing) ( got all my debt paid off thats why) & my husband works hard with my family's business. My husband has worked for The Family Business for 2 years now. Just as long as we were in the city together. He gets Vacations when he wants to, he has his own work truck, i have my own mommy truck, we do not have any debt now, he comes in and out our apt all day checking up on me and our new baby and having lunch with us and doing The Apt complex office work all day long. He gets paid good every friday morning.We run the business out of the apt so we dont pay for cable or internet or water. We have a saving account built up to about 5g now because we are going to buy some land and build a duplex. We dont have much stress and its an absolute blessing. We are happy and u can tell i guess. BUT When it comes to us willingly and wanting to hang out and enjoy my husbands family we are always bombarded with questions (from his brothers & im sure the mother says things too) about my father and our Family business & how u should get a real job and stop being under that "family umbrella" and go do your own thing. & we always just tell them just what i told you up there. But they still seem to not like what we are doing and they are not getting over it! this has been going on for 2 years the question asking the interviewing the interrigation. It really hurts me because my father has worked hard for what he has till this day and hes getting older now & doesnt work much anymore and he needs someone to take over and not just leave the business hanging and just sell it one day to just anyone that will make the investment go under! Why dont people understand this kinda thinking now-a-days? My brother didn't accept my dads offer because my youngest brother ventured out to do his own thing & moved at a young age not understanding the importance of loyalty & faith in family. WE do understand this and have faith & we are loyal people. This is so disheartening to me that they dont support our decisions because i know if my husband went out and found a job working right under a multi millionaire and got a free place to live & 2 free cars & now debt free his family would be happy for him and bragging about it! Because he did once before a few years ago working under a small business owner. but since its my father and my familys business its not the right choice. Im starting a new year with out all this Brother, Mother drama. I love the family but they can have all that talk about what they think is best for my husband, because the decisions my husband makes effects me and my baby, who are they to decide how my life runfs. I just wish they could be happy for us and not trying to sway my husband that he needs a corporate job with "benefits" all though we do have plenty of benefits & we are happy and content and not stressed, BUT they dont wanna believe that & somehow make us feel guilty and question our decisions, they just wont stop!... the only thing we stress about is his family putting in their 2 cents into what they think is best for our new family, when they dont care to have a normal convo with us & joke and laugh lighthearted conversation... they have NO idea, we do not ask them EVER about their jobs or their financial situation & i don't wanna to even tell them that my Family has multi millions in cash and also in investment... because they just wouldn't believe me, they only believe what they want to and i just need to cut the ties if this is going to be an ongoing 3 year conversation. WE tell this over and over when they ask and they still seem to not get it! im completely exhausted with this family & its sad because i love them. The only sane person in the family is their father but he wont speak up for us. Someone please tell me what is going on here?
