I love the advice of 'Rent a U-Haul.' I'll have to remember that.
Its a rough situation, and I'm the first person to advocate ditching them, all of that 'family is forever' rhetoric is nonsense. Family are just people whom you afford more rope. Eventually anyone can can do things where you'll eventually just sever ties.
That said, give them every chance in the book and if nothing comes of it you have to be calm, mature and reasonable, but you have to ditch them. Preferably (depending on your situation
) without losing your wife in the process.

And if your wife is a "softie", I can't help but think she has suffered some degree of emotional abuse from these crazy folks? That's unfortunate.
This is about the time where you have to man up and defend yourself and your wife, even if it worsens things in the short term. In-laws are like pets - you show them you are the pack leader, and they'll respect you for it eventually.
By the way, are they gypsies by any chance?
