Lian Shouxin asked Old Master Lian to consider carefully; if they let Si Lang go to work this time, it would surely be for a stable job, meaning from then on he would become a craftsman in society.
In this era, craftsmen have a lower status than farmers with land, especially those working in other people's shops and workshops as hands.
But usually, those who go out to work do so because of family circumstances. To survive, they won't fuss too much. After all, working for others is still an honest way to use labor to earn a meal. However, Old Master Lian used to be very particular about this, which is why Lian Shouxin specifically asked.
"Nowadays, also..." Old Master Lian pondered for a while before speaking, but he only said half a sentence, as if he suddenly remembered something, and turned to ask Si Lang, "Si Lang, are you willing yourself?"
"I'm willing, of course I'm willing." Si Lang nodded repeatedly in response.
