Is that really the worst part of US poverty? I didn't see anything about drug addiction, abuse, prostitution, or prison. Chinese poverty, I suspect, gets far worse than that. Just seems like straightforward frugality, and she probably did far better than her ancestors going back a thousand years (or ever). Chinese premodern poverty was always worse than European.
