Yang Ming was silent for a while, then suddenly asked, "Zheng Juan, do you know Tu Ziqiang?" Zheng Juan was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "Yes, what's the matter?"

"Nothing, just asking casually." Yang Ming smiled, "I heard that he has been in some trouble recently."

Zheng Juan didn't say anything, but just lowered her head silently. Seeing this, Yang Ming continued to ask: "Are you on good terms?"

Zheng Juan raised her head, a complex emotion flashed in her eyes: "Not good, but not bad. He...he helped me before."

"Oh?" Yang Ming was a little surprised, "How did he help you?"

Zheng Juan was silent for a while before she slowly spoke: "Once, I was bullied by a few hooligans, and it was Tu Ziqiang who saved me. He also wanted to...want to marry me."

Yang Ming's eyes widened: "Marry you? Did you agree?" Zheng Juan shook her head: "No. I think there is something wrong with him."

"Is there a problem?" Yang Ming became even more curious, "What's the problem?"

Zheng Juan was silent for a while before she slowly spoke: "I can't explain it clearly, but... I just feel like something is wrong with him."

Zheng Juan put down the kitchen knife in her hand and walked towards the door in confusion. She looked through the peephole and saw a strange man standing outside the door. He was neatly dressed and had a calm temperament, which gave people an inexplicable sense of trust. Zheng Juan hesitated for a moment, but still opened the door.

"Hello, are you Zheng Juan?" the man asked with a smile.

"Yes, I'm Zheng Juan. May I ask who you are?" Zheng Juan looked at the stranger in front of her with some caution.

"My name is Yang Ming, and I'm Tu Ziqiang's friend." Yang Ming introduced himself.

When she heard Tu Ziqiang's name, Zheng Juan frowned slightly.

Tu Ziqiang is her husband, but their marriage is not happy.

Zheng Juan always suspected that Tu Ziqiang had a woman outside, but she never thought that one day a strange man would appear at her door.

"Tu Ziqiang? What happened to him?" Zheng Juan asked tentatively.

"He...he's been in some trouble lately." Yang Ming hesitated for a moment and continued, "I heard that you are his wife, so I wanted to come and talk to you."

Zheng Juan invited Yang Ming into the house and they sat on the sofa in the living room.

Yang Ming began to talk about the special relationship between Tu Ziqiang and Shui Ziliu, and how Luo Shibin forced Zheng Juan and framed Tu Ziqiang's crime.

Zheng Juan was stunned when she heard this. She had never thought that her husband would be involved in such a scandal.

"Why are you telling me this?" Zheng Juan asked, her voice trembling slightly.

"Because I think you should know the truth." Yang Ming looked at Zheng Juan seriously, "Besides, I want to help you."

"Help me? Why should you help me?" Zheng Juan looked at Yang Ming with some confusion.

"I am Tu Ziqiang's friend and also a lawyer." Yang Ming showed his work certificate, "I can help you find a job and improve the lives of you and your children."

Zheng Juan looked at the work certificate handed over by Yang Ming, and a complex emotion surged in her heart. She didn't know how to trust this man who suddenly appeared, but she felt that this might be her chance to change her fate.

"Why do you want to help me?" Zheng Juan asked again, her voice full of confusion and worry.

"Because I think you shouldn't be dragged down by a man like this." Yang Ming looked at Zheng Juan frankly, "Besides, I believe you have the ability to live a better life."

Zheng Juan's eyes flashed with surprise, followed by deep doubt. She raised her head and looked at the man who had helped her, with mixed feelings in her heart. She knew that Yang Ming's words were not groundless, but could he really bring hope to their family?

"Brother Yang Ming, I..." Zheng Juan's voice trembled a little. She didn't know whether she should believe this sudden promise.

Yang Ming interrupted her, his eyes became more determined: "Juan'er, I know you may not believe me, but I will prove it to you with my actions. I will take you, your mother, and your brother to Sijiu City, find a place for you to live, and help you find a job...

A tear flashed in Zheng Juan's eyes, and she nodded gratefully, but the doubts in her heart had not completely dissipated. She took a deep breath and decided to talk to Yang Ming alone.

"Mom, Guangming, you two go out for a while. Brother Yang Ming and I have something to talk about." Although Zheng Juan's voice was calm, there was a hint of firmness in her tone.

Although Mrs. Zheng was worried, she took Zheng Guangming out of the room when she saw her daughter was so determined.

Only Zheng Juan and Yang Ming were left in the room. Zheng Juan looked at Yang Ming, took a deep breath, and asked, "Brother Yang Ming, can you really help us?"

Yang Ming nodded, his eyes full of confidence: "Juan'er, I promise you that I can do it. But I also have a condition."

Zheng Juan's heart suddenly tightened. She looked at Yang Ming, waiting for his next words.

"Juan'er, I want you to be my woman." Yang Ming's voice was low and firm, his eyes full of anticipation.

Zheng Juan was stunned. She didn't expect Yang Ming to make such a condition. But thinking about the future of her family, she gritted her teeth and nodded: "I promise you."

Yang Ming showed a satisfied smile on his face. He took out a stack of money from his pocket and handed it to Zheng Juan: "This is the money for you. Take it to buy some clothes and daily necessities. I will pick you up in a few days and take you to Sijiu City."

Zheng Juan took the money with gratitude in her heart, for she knew this was her chance to change her fate.

She looked at Yang Ming, her eyes full of determination and resolve: "Brother Yang Ming, I will go with you. I promise you that I will never leave you or betray you."

A relieved smile appeared on Yang Ming's face. He reached out and gently stroked Zheng Juan's hair: "Juan'er, I believe in you. I will let you live a happy life."

In the next few days, Yang Ming was busy preparing for Zheng Juan's family to leave. He contacted the hospital and arranged for Zheng Guangming to have an eye surgery.

Even if the surgery cannot completely heal his eyes, he will send him to a school for the blind so that he can support himself.

At the same time, he also arranged for Mrs. Zheng's retirement and funeral arrangements to ensure that she would receive proper care in the city.

"Juan'er, settle down first. When everything is stable, I will help you bring your family over." Yang Ming's words echoed in Zheng Juan's ears. She sighed softly, and a trace of trust flashed in her eyes. She knew that Yang Ming was a trustworthy person, and she was willing to accept all his promises.

However, this trust did not completely eliminate the worries in Mrs. Zheng's heart. She sat in the corner, her ears perked up, trying to catch some clues from the conversation between Zheng Juan and Yang Ming.

She was worried about Zheng Juan's future, worried that the child she had raised would go down a path of no return.
