Mr. Zhang thought for a moment and laughed, "Don't overthink it. Some things aren't simply about helping or not, there's complexity involved. Qing Shan said everyone pushed him to be the captain, but are there really no capable people in the village? Do you believe that?"
Mother Zhang didn't quite understand the complexity her husband mentioned, but she did know a bit about her nephew's capabilities and decisively shook her head.
"And Qingfeng, the militia captain..."
Mr. Zhang lowered his voice instinctively, "This time, when Xiao Wu is back, he should first visit the clan leader, the clan elders, and Fifth Uncle. Just wait and see, it won't be long before he'll be bringing herbs to the clinic. If Xiao Wu didn't know how to handle people, there'd be plenty who are envious and resentful."
Mother Zhang laughed cheerfully, "Of course, everyone has praises for my dear son when they see him."
Mr. Zhang chuckled and shook his head. What a silly woman!
