Midrash for Ruth 3:16

וַתָּבוֹא֙ אֶל־חֲמוֹתָ֔הּ וַתֹּ֖אמֶר מִי־אַ֣תְּ בִּתִּ֑י וַתַּ֨גֶּד־לָ֔הּ אֵ֛ת כָּל־אֲשֶׁ֥ר עָֽשָׂה־לָ֖הּ הָאִֽישׁ׃

And when she came to her mother-in-law, she said: ‘Who art thou, my daughter?’ And she told her all that the man had done to her.

Ruth Rabbah

“She came to her mother-in-law, and she said: Who are you, my daughter? She told her everything that the man had done for her” (Ruth 3:16).
“She came to her mother-in-law, and she said: Who are you, my daughter?” Did she not know her? Rather, she said to her: ‘What are you, single, or a married woman?’ She said to her: ‘Single.’ “She told her everything that the man had done for her.”
