People laugh at my husband for being too honest.

The problem of trees, as you said, is really not worth caring about or embarrassed to care about. If it grows too much, you can discuss it with the leader. There is no need to be hostile.

On the issue of fighting, you also said that the other party was a gang with the nature of social hooligans. After hitting you, you ran away and disappeared. You and your husband are both ordinary people. What do you want him to do?

I think your husband is honest and unlucky, but your idea is also wrong.
