Tea Cake’s intent in mentioning Janie and Mrs. Turner to Mr. Turner is shown here: He hopes Mr. Turner can influence Mrs. Turner to visit less frequently. Ta Cake provided a contrast between his wife and Mrs. Turnes who spent a lot of time gossiping about black people. This character continually shows her disdain for black people that's why Tea Cake made such a hint for Mr. Turner - in order to just have a rest of her foolishness.
