こんにちは皆さん,
私はこの文法でちょっと難しさをもっています (I hope that is understandable, I'm trying to say I'm having a little difficulty with this grammar)

私は 魔女の宅急便 (kiki's delivery service)を読んでいます

In a part of the book Kiki is asking the local people if she can live in the town. (この町に住まわせていただきたいんです)
It than states that no one replies (誰も答えてくれません)
The next part is the difficulty it reads....

それどころかみんな, めいわくそうにはなれていってしまうのです.

I think its something like.... On the contrary the people looking annoyed continued leaving?

よろしくお願いします
 
I would say 私はこの文法がよくわかりません / 文法にてこずっています.

~ていく indicates the direction of action/movement (to leave away from her) in that sentence, not continuous action. It's opposite to 近づいてくる (to come close to~).
 
Thanks toritoribesan.
One other thing please. Is the use of shimau is this case, used to express that the action of the people (I.e them walking away) was unexpected?
 
~てしまう has a negative (not good for the speaker/writer) nuance. When it's unexpectedly good for her, ~てくれる is used instead.
