Neighbours must have a cordial relationship which Lomov and have. Although he had come there to propose Natalya he started fighting with her over a small piece of land. This land adjoined her land and his oxen meadows touched her birch woods. Natalya told Lomov that Lomov tried meadows belonged to her but Lomov claimed that m the oxen meadows are his.
Convince Natalya by telling her that his aunt’s grandmother gave the meadows for the temporary and free use to Chubukov’s grandfather’s peasants. They did not demand money for it for a long time so the Chubukov’s misunderstood that the meadows belonged to them. While Chubukov’s insisted that yelling could not prove anything because everyone knows that meadows belong to Chubukov’s since last three hundred years.
Both threatened each other.

hey here is your answer
Anton Chekov’s “The Proposal” is a farce focusing on stereotyped characters such as the hypocrite Tschubukov, the hypochondriac Lomov and the shrewd Natalia. The play sets the tone of absurdity with simple and silly elements gaining a shade of exaggeration which is visible in Lomov who drinks water, puts his hand on her heart and flees to the door and “staggers out”. Immediately after this, Matilda’s action of becoming hysterical to fall back on the armchair and groaning for quite sometime is yet another instance of farce. The rapid and instant turn from mutuality to humiliating such as Lomov referring to Tschubukov as a “Swindler” and his way to hurl back the insult at Lomov, is an absolute farce. The playwright ridicules marriage as instead of telling his daughter directly about the arrival of the suitor for offering his marriage proposal, Tschubukov informs his daughter that “a dealer who has come to buy goods.” Chekov has also keenly depicted the small minded picture of Russian landowners who prioritize property estates and personal pride over love and marriage.
For a relationship to remain healthy and sustain blissfully, there should be the presence of mutual respect, understanding and willingness to understand and compromise on the part of both the partners. Every bonding is a responsibility and therefore one should take the responsibility to mend oneself and the other whenever required. Also, ego should be replaced by self-respect and acknowledgment of one’s mistakes ungrudgingly.
