Sarah, I think it just shows the initiative that Ruth takes to begin taking care of her MIL and herself. I'm not sure it shows she is unaware of the Law, but that she is eager to get them stabilized, and with a barley harvest beginning, it is the perfect time to begin getting their food situation under control. Mama Naomi tells her how the process works, and how to stay safe, but then Boaz adds additional safety and help to her demonstrated hard work! What upright character each one displays!!

I do not see where Naomi sends Ruth to the field. I do see where Ruth asks of Naomi via "Let me go" and Naomi agrees. For Ruth to ask, we see that she is unaware of the Law God put in place for foreigners or poor people. Also, we see her desire to care for both her AND Naomi, hence Boaz's compliment. I do not see that either Naomi or Ruth knew this was the field of Boaz. Scripture says "by chance" or "happened to" depending on your translation. This makes a huge difference!
