Three Sisters

Three sisters all got married.
Big sister married a scholar, cultured and refined, with a good reputation.
There are only 360 days in the year, but he’s gone for more than 300 days.
Second sister married a businessman.
His money and silver is never used up.
It’s only that during the day he spends so much time thinking,
And at night he is still thinking about opening shop the next day.
My fate isn’t as good: I’m married to a coarse farmer.
We pass our days by working and eating.
It’s not as dazzling as big sister’s life, it’s not as easy as second sister’s life.
But although my husband is a coarse fellow,
In the morning we sit together on the bench, and at night we sleep together.
