Answer:

She has dealt with hardship.

Step-by-step explanation:

"No carpet on the floor" indicates that the house must have been hard, with no soft, lavish things in it. This is typically true of below-average houses (not saying that if your house isn't carpeted then it isn't good quality lol), as they are not as comfortable, so they don't cost as much.
