Leaving the colorful sky, Dom continued to find Thomas Downs, Downs’ farm is also a good place, well managed by the Downs family, but unfortunately devoted to great charity, the family’s life is very tight.

When Dom arrived, Thomas Downs was weeding in a cornfield, his wife Edith was sewing laundry in front of the house, and his son Archie was quietly reading.

“Is there anything I can do to help you, sir?” Edith was the first to spot Dom, who was watching them. When Thomas heard his wife’s words, he also put down his work and came to the family, looking at Dom warily.

Dom raised his hands to show that he had no malice, “I have come to meet Mr. Thomas Downs.” ”

When Thomas heard that he was coming to find himself, he looked at Dom with some excitement, “Sir, are you here to donate?” I led the formation of a new Hanover charity to improve the lives of the poor, did you come to donate a small sum of money to help our cause? Our goal is to help the poor with clean food, clothes and beds, encourage them to change their lives through business and apprenticeship, build relief agencies and orphanages, help the elderly and orphans regardless of nationality or color, and of course open free schools if we can. ”

Dom patiently listened to Thomas, which was also a sign of respect for him. “Of course, Mr. Downs.” Saying that, Dom pulled out $100 and handed it to Thomas.

“I thank you on behalf of the poor, sir. Ahem…” While receiving Dorm’s money, he couldn’t help but cover his mouth and cough several times.

Dom, “How much money have you charged for doing this now?” ”

Thomas, “Not a lot, many people in this world now have a hard time, and even fewer generous people like you.” ”

Dom, “You should have the support of your family for pure charity like this?” ”

Thomas, “I’m not as great as you say, I’m just doing what I can to help more people.” My family was very supportive and never complained about anything. Thomas looked at his wife and son proudly, then coughed a few more times.

Dom, “I admire you, Mr. Downs, have you ever thought you’ve done enough?” ”

Thomas looked at Dom suspiciously, “What do you mean, sir?” ”

Dom, “You should know your body very well, tuberculosis, if you continue to work like this, you will die faster.” ”

Just as Dom was talking, Thomas seemed to be sick, coughing uncontrollably, Edith quickly stepped forward to pat Thomas on the back, and Archie went into the house to bring a glass of water out, drank water, and Thomas slowed down for a while before getting better.

Dom, “Look at your family, Mr. Downs, you have a good farm, and you are supposed to live a prosperous life, but as far as I can see, your family does not blame you for your poor life because of charity.” You’ve been working for charity for so long, you’ve done enough, you should leave it to like-minded people, and in the last days, I think you should spend more time with your family. ”

Thom’s words made Thomas extremely entangled, sitting dumbly under the eaves, his face struggling. Seeing her husband like this, Edith was also extremely distressed, “You are a good man, sir, thank you very much for waking him up for me, but my husband may need a little time.” ”

Dom knew that it would not be possible to get Thomas to figure it out in a moment, so he waved his hand at Edith and left, “I’m not a good person, Mrs. Downs, I’m just saying my opinion as a bystander.” Also, I’m actually here to collect the debt, Leopold Strauss, and I’ll tell your husband that your debt is canceled. ”

Edith wanted to say something more, but Dom was already on his horse away.

Leaving Downs Farm, Dom’s mood suddenly became much more relaxed, Arthur’s mortal situation had been avoided, the person he most wanted to save was safe and sound if nothing else, and Dom’s efforts had finally changed.

(In fact, many people say that Arthur contracted tuberculosis because Thomas coughed up blood on his face, but the author finds that at the beginning of the second chapter, Arthur follows his uncle to the grocery store to buy clothes and can see that Arthur has been panting, wherever he buys clothes.) Of course, the author also hopes that Arthur’s tuberculosis was indeed infected by Thomas.)

In this way, Dom slowly walked back to the camp near the end of the evening.

“The debts of Strauss, Robert and Thomas Downs are coming back, but I took something I liked instead, and how much their debts totaled, I replaced them with cash.”

“Of course you can, Dom, save us trouble with cash.” Then Strauss told Dom the money, and Dom handed it in, not caring about the “hard work” of those dollars….

Back in the tent, Mary Beth was still reading quietly as usual, and when she saw Dom return, Mary Beth put down the book and greeted her, “You’re back, Dom, you look happy.” ”

Dom put his arm around Marybeth, “Yes, there is one thing that has been suppressed in my heart for a long time, and now there is finally a change, a good change.” ”

Mary Beth was also happy for Dom, “That’s really worth being happy about, you must have put a lot of effort.” ”

“It’s all I have to do, for our better life in the future.” ”
