How a payment failure turned into a family drama (3 photos)
When a man from Yangjiang went to a pharmacy to buy birth control pills, he clearly didn’t expect that this visit would change his whole life. The price was ridiculous, just a little over 15 yuan. He tried to pay for the purchase through an electronic service, but the system refused. 
Then a chain of events began that can safely be consigned to textbooks on “How it all went wrong.” The pharmacy employees decided to show concern for the client and clarify how he planned to complete the transaction. To do this, they called the phone number indicated in the client card. But it wasn't he who picked up the phone, but his legal wife.
The woman, not suspecting anything unusual, asked what they were talking about. And then the main thing happened. The pharmacist, without a shadow of a doubt, said that they were talking about birth control pills. A second of silence, and the situation was no longer under control. The man's secret affair became obvious, and without any investigation.
After the scandal, the man said that his family had broken up. Moreover, according to him, another family had suffered, hinting that his mistress also had a husband. He published the receipt, correspondence with the seller, and even attached a report on the police report, which he filed on August 12 at the local Pinggang Police Station. Now he demands that the pharmacy be held accountable for disclosing information that he considered personal. 
However, lawyers are skeptical. Lawyer Fu Jiang from Henan Zejin Law Firm explained that from a legal perspective, it will be extremely difficult for the man to obtain compensation. It is almost impossible to prove the connection between the actions of the pharmacy and the breakup of the family. The pharmacy employee did not act out of malice and only called to clarify the payment. The situation is unpleasant, but within the rules. The main problem here is not the call, but the fact of betrayal itself, which the man will no longer be able to dispute. 
As a result, the story became a hit on Chinese social networks. Users in the comments write that the man himself created this catastrophe, and now he is looking for someone to blame. Many advise not to shift responsibility and learn to cover up traces if you have already taken a risk. Others remind that it is easier to remain faithful than to come up with schemes with electronic payments.
The moral of this fable is this: if you love adventure, be prepared for the fact that any little thing can become your fatal mistake. Sometimes the price of betrayal is not 15 yuan, but an entire family.
