Sean looked at Shane's disheveled appearance, his scruffy beard, his slightly bald hair that hadn't been washed for a few days, and his worn jacket covered in wine stains, dust and vomit.

I suddenly thought of my past life. If I had not come here after resigning from my job, would I have also fled the big city like him and returned to the countryside to be unemployed?

What you learned when you were young is no longer useful, and the relatives around you don’t understand you.

Previously, he was what the villagers called a "successful office worker", but now...

The huge gap brought about by the change of identity always bothers me, and I numb my senses with alcohol all day long.

Will I become such a person?

Sean asked himself.

silence...

Sean hesitated in his heart, he could not firmly deny the existence of this possibility.

He saw in Shane one of the possible life trajectories of his previous life, and his heart was vaguely touched.

Maybe this is the resonance among workers.

At this time, Shane was lying on the ground like a shriveled toad, gasping for breath with his cheeks pursed.

His trembling hind legs kicked helplessly on the muddy ground, but all he got was slipping and friction. His whole body twitched and his trouser legs were covered in mud.

He struggled to stretch his head and wanted to look at the scenery below the cliff like a turtle just out of its shell, but he collapsed to the ground because his body was paralyzed by alcohol.

Even the power to muster up the courage to leap and end his journey was no longer in his control.

The struggle became less and less intense, and Mo Yue had completely given up.

"Do you remember what you said when we first met?" Sean walked forward and squatted within Shane's field of vision.

He did not directly answer Shane's question: "You said that a guy like me from the city could not do farm work well. It would be better for me to sell the land, treat you to a meal, and then go back to the city."

Sean repeated Shane's exact words.

Hearing this, Shane raised his head slightly and looked at Sean with drunken eyes.

"What? Have you figured it out?" He muttered, with a hint of self-mockery in his voice, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Even when he was completely drunk, his mouth was still hard and unforgiving.

Sean smiled and shook his head: "It's just as you said, I can't manage the farm by myself. Farm work is hard and tiring and there is no profit." Sean picked up the freshly opened bottle of wine and took a sip.

"I've been in Pelican Town for more than a month. Do you think I can run the farm successfully now?" Sean asked again.

Shane listened to Sean's question in surprise, not understanding what he meant. He moved his neck with difficulty, leaving a mark on his face and nose on the weathered rock.

He turned his face away from Sean.

The result is self-evident. Now Shane still thinks that Sean will never succeed.

"So the situation I'm facing is the same as yours. In your opinion, neither your life nor my farm can be successful. Even if you struggle hard, you will fail." Sean went around in circles and finally got back to the point.

He looked at Shane, who had his back to him, and spoke loudly.

“And what I want to tell you is that my farm, like your life, has infinite possibilities!”

"I need help. If you think my farm won't be successful, why not come and see for yourself?" Sean made the invitation. "I need people to play a role in the transportation chain, whether it's the agricultural and sideline products produced by the farm in the future or the fertilizers now."

Sean blurted out everything without caring whether Shane could understand or not.

He didn't want to give Shane a chance to join because he felt sorry for him, but because Shane was very suitable for the job of cargo transportation.

First of all, he has a driver's license and can drive a truck, which is a very remarkable skill in Pelican Town where the average junior high school dropout.

Secondly, he was doing similar work in Joja Supermarket, so it was a seamless transition;

After all, people’s energy is limited and it is impossible to never make mistakes. The team also needs someone with a bad temper who can point out problems bluntly.

Based on the above three points, Sean invited Shane.

"You can ask Andy at Fairhaven Farm southwest of Marnie Ranch about what I'm doing. If you join us, your task for now is to transport those things to every farmer who needs them."

At this time, Shane was already snoring softly.

"I give in~" Sean was so angry that he laughed. He stood up helplessly, dusting himself off.

"Forget it. Why would we bother with a drunkard?" He shook his head. "We can't just leave him here."

Shane was snoring like a dead fish.

His face was pale, his skin was clammy, and his lips were purple, which were obviously symptoms of severe alcohol poisoning.

"I don't know how much you've drunk~" Sean grabbed his arm with some disgust, made him lean his whole body against him, and lifted him up.

The pungent fishy smell of alcohol hit me, and disgusting vomit was sticky everywhere from the corners of my mouth, neck, collar, and front.

"Go~" Sean half-carried him to the cart and threw him on the cart like a dead pig.

The sudden contact of his entire body with a hard object made Shane scratch his back, which was a little sore from the fall, then he turned over and continued snoring.

-----------------

In Harvey's clinic, Sean and rancher Marnie who came over were waiting for the diagnosis results.

Shane is her nephew. Ever since he lost his job and returned home, he has been renting a house on her ranch. He helps her with ranch work on weekdays to offset the rent.

From Marnie, Sean also learned why Shane had a mental breakdown these days.

Shane actually doesn't like Joja Corporation, and he goes to work at Joja Supermarket only because he has no choice but to do so. After all, there are not many jobs available in the remote Pelican Town.

Sloppy, rude, and alcoholic, he had few friends at work, except for a young man named Martin who served as his follower.

That Martin is the young man who followed Shane during the rescue and who changed a lot when Joja Corporation acquired the land.

Since Martin was scolded by his elders during the rescue, his temperament gradually changed after he talked with his superiors when he returned to work.

When he became the project manager for land acquisition, his temperament became more and more arrogant and ruthless.

Xie En tried to dissuade him but to no avail, and he had several arguments with his superiors because of this.

He could only watch things slide towards the bad side and was powerless to do anything, just like his life.

Therefore, he turned to drinking more and more to relieve his sorrow.

[I didn't expect that although Shane seems rude, he also has a warm and protective side. ]

After listening to Marnie's story, Sean's understanding of Shane deepened.

"Anyway, be glad you got him to the hospital in time." At this time, Dr. Harvey also walked out of the consultation area.

"Too much alcohol can put a great strain on the body...but I'm more worried about his mental state..." Harvey said to Marnie and Sean.

"Don't worry, I've already washed his stomach. When he wakes up, I'll talk to him about the treatment plan. I know a psychologist in Zuzu City..." Harvey continued.

"That's good. Please, Dr. Harvey." Marnie, who was standing by, felt relieved after hearing Harvey's words.

"Sometimes, life can be painful, but the future is always full of beauty and hope, and you have to learn to believe in it," Xavi sighed.
