Her stepfather was not particularly good to her mother because of his son's constant provocations. In terms of finances, they were completely separated. Other than paying for all the expenses of the family, her stepfather rarely left any money on her mother.
Fortunately, her mother did not lack money. After her father passed away, she received a pension.
Her stepfather had once tried to get her mother's pension money, but her mother had rejected him on the grounds that he wanted to invest in a business. The relationship between the husband and wife had also faded at that time. As a remarried couple, they had gotten together in middle age. They did not have children between them, so there was always a veil between their hearts.
