Look, it's not like you are going to be losing a major friendship with this woman if her husband isn't called back for the next day. You did a very nice thing here - you did her a favor even though she's never been nice to you. Don't regret that move. It's good karma and it's what makes you a good person.
Forget about the bitchiness of the woman, it's not an issue here. She sucks but it's irrelevant.
If you want to be nice about it, and if you can afford to do so (both financially and in terms of safety), give the guy a few days to see if any of it sinks in. Who knows, maybe he had first-day jitters. Maybe he can turn it around. After a few days, if he's not getting it, let him know why it's a problem and what he'll need to do if he expects to keep working there. If it continues to go in one ear and out the other, let him go. It's what you would do for any other employee. Hell, you probably wouldn't even give them more than a day or two. To give this guy a bit of extra time, if you can afford to do it, might be what helps keep things "smooth" at work - the woman won't be bitching that you never gave him a chance, etc.
Good luck and keep us updated with what you decide to do.
