How does Ruth react when Patty talks about getting a job?

From the text:

“So you thought you’d up and run away and find yourself a job, that what you thought, girl?” I recognized her I-ain’t-gonna-listen-to-none-of-your-nonsense voice. “Well, now I’m right glad you told me ’cause ole Ruth can tell you something. I keeps a clean house, minds the chillun, and cooks the evening supper, and for doing all these things it takes me six workdays to earn seven dollars and fifty cents. Now how many of those things can you do? And how much you reckon you'd be earning for doing them?”
