Conclusion: Aki's mother is a non-biological stepmother

1. Grandma said that Aki's father is like an ex-husband. Alluding to the ex-husband's son also repeating his father's behavior of abandoning his wife and marrying again.

2. Grandma goes to Yaji's house to pay homage to her ex-husband every month and collects 30,000 yuan from her father, which proves that grandma and father are tacit transactions. Dad took this money as living expenses and compensation. Grandma also saves money for Aji.

3. Grandma and dad sang double reeds. Grandma deliberately asked Kia Ji's whereabouts. Dad said that Aji went to Australia to tell her mother on purpose, and her mother followed suit and told her grandma who was an outsider. Dad paid the money because he felt remorse for Aji, while mom showed no concern at all, most likely because Aji was the child of his father and his ex-wife.

4. Aji calls herself Saka, because she has hatred for her half-sister in her heart, she only has half of her father's love and her sister is all love.
