The central dispute between Natalya and Lomov revolves around the ownership of Oxen Meadows. While Natalya asserts her family's historical possession as the basis for their claim, Lomov attempts to challenge this by providing documentation to support his own ownership claim. This conflict underscores a clash of perspectives on the rightful ownership of the land, with Natalya emphasizing tradition and Lomov relying on legal documentation to validate his claim.
