About baumer in the story bargain by ab guthrie?

Mr. Baumer was like Al's father since he had passed away from a common disease in Moon Dance. He was a smart immigrant who knew how to write & read. On the other hand, there was Slade, who was illiterate (couldn't read/write) and bullied Mr. Baumer. Finally after Slade bullied him 3 times, Mr Baumer couldn't take it anymore, so he thought 'revenge' and hired Slade as his freighter (someone who delivers ordered goods to a store) and tricked him. Mr. Baumer knew that Slade always stole a beer from the box of goods people ordered, so this time, he ordered poisonous beer. He also knew that Slade couldn't read, so he would just think "Oh, beer!" Without knowing it was poisonous. So, as Mr. Baumer sneakly planned, Slade drank the poisonous beer and died. Also, Mr. Baumer and Slade had a couple things in common. Like there jobs, they were both adults , and they both are tricky.
