Based on what Zhao Xiaolan said, Chen Feng clearly misjudged the situation concerning his uncle and Mao Xiaoling.
The main issue is that he underestimated his uncle's level of devotion, or rather subservience. He really didn't expect Mao Xiaoling to treat him this way, not seeing him as family, and to not even register their marriage, yet his uncle Zhao Guozhong is still so compliant.
Furthermore, he overestimated his uncle's personal charm and the allure of half the profits from the small supermarket for Mao Xiaoling.
Initially, he had agreed that as long as Mao Xiaoling registered her marriage with his uncle, the couple would receive half of the supermarket's profits as dividends. Usually, under such conditions, other single mothers from the countryside, as long as the person is acceptable, would surely accept it. After all, half of the profits from the small supermarket would amount to at least hundreds of thousands a year, perhaps even more.
