Yu Dong thought that the villagers were upset with her because she asked them to go up the mountain at such an hour but then she heard one of the villagers say,
"You have done so much for the village, how could we sleep in our beds knowing that your family is in trouble?"
"That's right! You have given so much to the village and never asked anything from us in return. How can we leave you and your family alone in this situation?" Another woman chimed up.
After these women spoke up more and more villagers started to speak up in support of looking for Yu Mai and Li Yuya with Yu Dong.
The villagers were indeed grateful for everything that Yu Dong had done for them. They could never forget the sacrifices and hard work Yu Dong put in to make sure that their village remained prosperous in every situation. It was because of her timely decisions and dedication towards the village that they still had water to drink and food to eat.
