Chen Feng's thought was simple: spending money to avert disaster, but also to fulfill his filial duty.
He understood his uncle's character very well: thick-skinned and somewhat irresponsible, but more importantly, his mother held dear affection for her only brother.
If he couldn't settle down, his mother would definitely worry about it in the future.
The hardest thing to let go of in this world is familial affection.
In today's society, compared to romance, kinship feels more dependable, and it's more acknowledged and valued. If a couple divorces, it's considered good if they merely become strangers; many become enemies.
But with your parents, brothers, and sisters, even if you've argued or fought, the old saying goes, 'Bones may break, but the links will remain.' Unless they've done something unforgivable to you, you'll likely reconcile eventually, at least outwardly.
So, the idea of his mother completely cutting ties with his uncle was impossible.
