Eventually, someone from that side found him and asked if he was willing to raise the child.
Without a second thought, Gao Peng agreed. The child was still young and wouldn't remember anything. They would take good care of her, and perhaps she could look after them in their old age.
When he brought the child home, he thought he might have to persuade his mother a bit more, but surprisingly, his mother took a great liking to the child. She doted on her all day long, buying her nice clothes and toys, just as she had done for her own grandson before, and the presence of the child brought more laughter into the household.
Of course, his mother no longer thought about retrieving the other child. This also meant that they no longer had any ties with those people, and from then on, they would lead separate lives without any further contact.
