Answer 1

Answer:

At first, Chubukov suspected that Lomov had come to borrow money. He was not sincere when he told Lomov that he had always loved him and that he was like his own son. He had decided that he would not give Lomov any money if he tried borrowing from him. If he truly meant what he had said, then he would not have thought of not giving him money. He said so only because Lomov had come with the proposal to marry his daughter.

Answer 2

Chubukov initially suspected of Lomov coming to meet him to borrow some money. Chubukov is not sincere when he says later, "You, my angel, always I loved you as though you were my own son," because he started to fight  with Lomov just a little while later. He takes the side of his daughter in the fight and even abused Lomov.

Explanation:

• The Proposal by Anton Chekov shows how the rich want their children to marry into other rich families in order to improve their fortune. The characters are divisive and often deal with trivial issues. However, they remember the marriage offer that will bring money and conclude the marriage in the course of the battle
• Ivan Vassilevitch Lomov comes to meet Stephen Stepnovitch Chubukov his neighbour with the intention of asking for Chubkov's daughter Natalaya's hand in marriage. However, Lomov was unable to initiate the topic. Chubukov, meanwhile seeing Lomov's formal attire is unable to understand why Lomov is paying him a visit that too in a formal attire.
• When Lomov inquires as to how Chubukov has been doing, Chubukov responds by saying that somehow people like Lomov himself live in peace. He tells him to be relaxed and sit down. He stills doubts the reason, shocked by his formal attire at night. Chubukov is very polite, and so he often calls Lomov "my angel," and "my treasure" and so on.  
• Lomov replies by saying that there is no special occasion and he had just come to see the revered Stepan Stepanovitch.
• Also, Lomov takes Chubukov's arm with all due respect and cconveys his intention of troubling him with a request. Lomov lists with all appreciation the times Chubukov helped him and he begins to get excited as he goes on talking. He drinks water to relax himself.
• It was then that Chubukov assumes that Lomov had come to ask for money which he is in no intention of giving to him. He then asks him the matter of concern.
