The answer

Moses (peace be upon him) married the daughter of Shu'ayb and stayed with him, tending the sheep until the term expired. Then he traveled with his family. This was Moses' acceptance of Shu'ayb's condition, and through it, the contract of marriage and hire was concluded. It is understood from the verses that Moses said: {That is between you and me. Whichever of the two terms I fulfill, there will be no injustice against me}, and Shu'ayb replied: "Yes," and married him, and Moses resided with him, working for him in tending his sheep.
