From the text:

“You know, I…I wasn’t hardly eighteen when Paul Edward married me and brung me here. He was older than me by ’bout eight years and he was smart.

Big Ma nodded, smiling. “Sho’ was. He was carpenterin’ up there and my papa took me in with him to Vicksburg—we was tenant farmin’ ’bout thirty miles from there—to see ’bout gettin’ a store-bought rocker for my mama, and there was ole Paul Edward workin’ in that furniture shop just as big.
