They don’t understand professional terms, but they understand the word “stroke”.
The Zhao family's father and son all looked horrified. The Zhao family's second elder who had rushed over also looked terribly pale. Their daughter-in-law was only in her early forties and had already suffered a stroke. How could this be? Old Mrs. Zhao hurriedly asked, "Yun Zhiqing, the second elder's wife, will she be paralyzed like this in the future?"
"No, she had a mild stroke, which is very different from a severe stroke that causes paralysis. Her condition is treatable. This is her first fainting episode, so it's not serious. She can go to the hospital and get some Western medicine. She'll be able to stabilize after taking it for a while."

"Yun Zhiqing, can you accompany us to the county hospital?" Uncle Zhao knew nothing about medicine and was afraid that some unscrupulous doctors would take the opportunity to rip him off.
"Can."
Yun Huaying agreed without hesitation, said a few words to Lin Shan and the others, and got on the tractor. The team leader and Han Zheng also followed.
