Aysel was one of the most hardworking women in her village. Confident in her work, Aysel encountered a man named Rüzgar one day. It was known that Rüzgar had a history of misdeeds in the village; nevertheless, when Aysel heard that Rüzgar's business was struggling, she did not hesitate for a moment to extend a helping hand to him. Aysel, who managed to break the prejudices against Rüzgar, who was always mentioned negatively in annual market evaluations, not only secured him a job but also restored his self-confidence.
