Mr. Hoo laughs when Grace suggests that her husband is doing bookkeeping because he knows that Jake Wexler is not good with numbers and it is unlikely he would be keeping track of anything in that manner. It also hints at Mr. Hoo's mischievous nature and his enjoyment in seeing Grace humbled.
In the beginning of the novel, Grace Wexler has no occupation but plans to be a decorator. Later on, she works as a waited in Shin Hoo's restaurant. At the very end, she carries on Hoo's business (now renamed Hoo's on First) and opens up nine others.
Mr. Hoo snatches the plate of spare ribs away from Jake Wexler because he believes that Jake is trying to steal the ribs. Jake had actually been hiding the legal documents inside the plate, but Mr. Hoo misunderstood his actions.
In "The Westing Game" by Ellen Raskin, the pairs of characters who are paired together as partners in the game are: Turtle Wexler and Flora Baumbach, Grace Windsor Wexler and Mr. Hoo, Theo Theodorakis and Doug Hoo, Chris Theodorakis and Dr. Deere, Angela Wexler and Judge J.J. Ford, and Sydelle Pulaski and Sandy McSouthers.
Grace and Mr. Hoo suspect that Sydelle Pulaski, Mr. Hoo's new secretary, is involved in the mystery after reexamining their clues in Chapter 17 of the Westing Game. They believe she may have a connection to the bomber and the inheritance puzzle.
There are the Wexlers, Denton Deere, the Theodorakis', the Hoo's, Sydelle Pulaski, Berthe Crow, Sandy McSouthers, Flora Baumbach, Mr. Westing's family (him, his dead daughter, and ex-wife), and Barny Northrup. Those are the main people in The Westing Game. the question asked for "families" (even though it is misspelled), not main characters. it would be Wexler, Theodorakis, Hoo, and Westing (including all the aliases).

Grace was sure that Mr. Hoo wasn't the murderer in "The Westing Game" because she knew him well enough to trust his character and felt that his behaviors and actions did not align with those of a murderer. Additionally, Grace believed that Mr. Hoo did not have a motive to commit the crime based on her understanding of his background and personality.
Grace Wexler and Mr. Hoo forfeited their shares in the Westing Game in chapters 8-10. They were unable to solve the latest clues and decided to give up their interests in the game.
