Chinese man’s affair exposed after birth control pills e-payment fails; pharmacy notifies wife
Man claims incident resulted in collapse of two families, demanding accountability from pharmacy
A Chinese man in southern China who attempted to secretly purchase birth control pills inadvertently exposed his extramarital affair when his e-payment failed, prompting staff to contact his wife for payment.
The man, whose name has not been disclosed, posted a video stating that he visited the Pinggang branch of Dashenlin Pharmacy in Yangjiang, Guangdong province, and tried to pay for contraceptive pills using his mobile payment code.
However, due to a “system problem,” the payment of 15.8 yuan (US$2.2) did not go through.
The staff then called the phone number associated with the man’s membership card to recover the cost, but the call mistakenly reached his wife.
When his wife inquired about the purchase, the staff member explicitly confirmed that it was for contraceptive pills, leading to the immediate revelation of the man’s extramarital affair.
