Her character is one instance where the book out-does the movie.
It explains how she had been a chemical engineering student in
college and they had plans of living a well and prosperous life
together until he took the job at the feed store. After a while, they
became stuck in the small town. She stayed with him out of love
instead of moving on with her own career plans; he always felt
she resented him for that. The money they found was her chance
to get out of the rut and she'd do anything to suceed this time.

What's the deal with his wife, anyway? She had fewer ethics & morals
than anyone in the whole stinkin' flick.
