How do we come to know that the dead woman was poverty stricken?

The people in the village tell the woman's story.... how she'd loved and been cast away, gotten pregnant, and how she'd been cast off by friends and family for her mistake. 

We found out the woman’s story afterwards. Of course it was the old, old vulgar tragedy. She had loved and been deceived — or had deceived herself. Anyhow, she had sinned — some of us do now and then — and her family and friends naturally shocked and indignant, had closed their doors against her.
