Keep in mind they generally like to see you above the minimum poverty guideline. People still get rejected even if they just meet it.

Why would you need 2 people?  Your Brother's household consists of himself and you for immigration purposes.  He is not sponsoring your spouse or child since they are US citizens.

Yeah my wife and son is u.s citizen. So my brother in law is sponsering me. But they are member of household right. So me and wife and our son and brother in law we are totall 4 household.

Probably a good idea to read the I 864.

You might want to read this article.  A sponsor's household consists of himself and those dependent upon him .

The USCs (wife and child) are not counted in the household size. 
 

Note that getting through the interview avd being approved on paper is one small battle in the whole war. Living here is very expensive. The guidelines provided by USCIS are unrealistic   when it comes to day to day living here. Have you and your wife started to look for work here? You will need healthcare from day 1. The cost of living is higher here than in many other countries. Whilst it’s nice to have enough on paper to be approved at interview, I can’t imagine raising a family on the amounts listed on the I-864P. It would make for a very miserable existence.

I am really confused 🤔 why they won't count?

Because they are not being sponsored. But the bigger issue is how you and your wife are going to feed and clothe your child if you are relying on a family member to be a joint sponsor. Have you started to look for work?

Yeah meanwhile our process get done we are doing business in India and my family always have my back in india. For u.s my wife had a family who will support us and I am working with my brother in law.
