Ahmad, [Ahmed Zaki] a simple worker from upper Egypt, stood by Jamalat, married her and started marketing her goods himself. Ahmad succeeded in his struggle and became a respected merchant at the market after buying his own stall. Then he denied his principles and his wife, practiced monopoly methods and moved to an upscale neighborhood. He divorced Jamalat and married Susie, [Khaloud] a woman from a wealthy family.
