Many people return to live on the muck; some of the people are familiar from last year and some people were brand new. Mrs. Turner brings her brother to town to introduce him to Janie. Tea Cake whips Janie to show Mrs. Turner's brother that Tea Cake had full control over Janie. "Being able to whip her reassured him in posession. No brutal beating at all. He just slapped her around a bit to show he was boss. Everybody talked about it next day in the fields. It aroused a sort of envy in both men and women." Other men are envious of Tea Cake's ability to hit Janie and leave marks on her skin. Because she is a mulatto, her skin is fairer than other blacks and thus her bruises are much more obvious.
