A suspicious man in Dongping county, Shandong province, beat up his wife after the latter received an intimate text message from an unknown number.

It turned out, a woman had mistakenly sent the message, which was intended for her boyfriend, to the woman's cell phone.

The message read: Honey, do you miss me. I miss you a lot.

The woman's husband read the message and attacked her, thinking she was sleeping around behind his back.

It was only hours later that the woman convinced her husband to redial the number, following which they understood the confusion.

The girl who sent the message paid the woman 600 yuan ($88) as compensation for the mistake.
