Solution
The poor's terrible life is defined by weakness, discomfort, and pain. Poor people are people who live challenging lives with little or no money. They don't have enough money to meet their daily demands. To make ends meet, they must work long hours every day. Mathilde lived a miserable life of poverty to pay off her debt.
