Yu Dong was not exaggerating the situation at all, the incident with the Big Stone Village reminded her of the time when the government refused to hand the resources to the commoners, in response to this action of the government, many commoners from all over the city went ahead and attacked the government headquarters.
When this attack happened, Yu Dong was in another city and did not have any idea what happened in the town where she lived. It was only when she returned from her mission did she find out that the rebels took everything from the base and did not even leave a single thing behind.
Even finding a single grain of rice in that scenario was difficult. With their current situation being faintly similar to the one in the past, Yu Dong was afraid that the villagers will rebel as well.
