Failed 15.8-Yuan Payment at China Pharmacy Exposes Man’s Affair to Wife

Legal counsel says a lawsuit over the store’s callback practice would face long odds.

Overview

  • The incident occurred at a Dashenlin Pharmacy in Yangjiang, Guangdong, when a system error blocked a mobile payment for contraceptive pills.
  • Staff called the phone number tied to the customer’s membership to recover the unpaid amount, reaching his wife, who was told the item category.
  • The man posted a medicine receipt, chat screenshots with a clerk, and a police report online, arguing the disclosure nearly ruined two families.
  • The police report he shared was dated August 12 from Pinggang Police Station under the Gaoxin Branch of the Yangjiang Public Security Bureau.
  • Lawyer Fu Jian of Henan Zejin Law Firm says the call appears legitimate and that any claim would hinge on proving it directly caused the marital breakdown.
