What is your opinion on the tension in our household?

Relationship Advice

I am single and my older brother has a wife and a kid. We live in a house left by our parents. I cant afford to rent a place of my own for now. As for the situation, I am planning on showing my older brother that I am not worthless in the house as he told me yesterday, by not doing any of the daily chores I've done for the past few years. He told me I have no say on what he wants to do with the garden that our parents left us, he wants to throw away the plants my mom planted -the plants I have been taking care of for 2 years after her death. He told me I have no say on it because I am worthless and do nothing in the house.. I told him dont worry I will be leaving soon, but now after computing the expenses, I secretly changed my mind because I cant afford to leave the house. I am just thinking of not doing the chores like cleaning all their dishes, throwing all their trash, cleaning the dogs trays and feeding them, cleaning the kitchen and the floor, and I cook the food most of the times except when they go out to eat.. All these things they take for granted and I thought they notice. Anyways I am angry, I know Jesus gets angry too. But is my plan on proving something against Jesus's teachings because I am tired of following whatever he wants in the house, I always agree on what he says just to avoid conflict. But the thing about him removing my mom's plants I just could not. I know my plan is mixed with anger and I am still hurting to be called worthless by my own older brother, but I feel like it is a very logical thing to do. What is your opinion on this situation? Thanks.
