Luna Maynard · Answer 2

Thought that they would be protected from people who wanted to harm them.

Explanation:

In the time that the Wakatsuki family lived there (without the dad in a company town owned by the fishing companies) the company owned everything, so things were not very nice. The homes they lived in were just little shacks made out of boards. Jeanne's mom would have to go to work at whatever time of day the boats came in. For Jeanne and her brother, it was kind of a scary place because so many people were strange to them. They had classmates from various different ethnic groups, and even the Japanese were from a lower class than they were.

Having to move was a relief, in a way, because they could leave that town in search for better places (as seen throughout the story).
